Privacy policy

Last updated 28 September 2026. Applies to the Mandli app and mandli.speedsharma.com.

What we store

Mandli has no accounts. The app keeps a random device id, your chosen name and colour on your phone. Our server keeps them in memory only while your room exists (up to 2 hours of inactivity).

Voice chat

Voice is optional and off until you turn your mic on. Audio goes through our server only to reach the people in your room. It is never recorded or stored.

Usage counts

We log anonymous events (room created, round played, someone joined by link) with a one-way hash instead of your device id. No names, no phone numbers, no IP addresses are written to these logs.

Camera (Dumb Charades only)

In Dumb Charades played remotely, the person acting can turn on their camera for their turn so friends in the room can see them. It is off by default, turns off when the turn ends, goes only to people in that room, and is never recorded or stored.

Beta tester list

If you sign up on mandli.speedsharma.com/beta, we keep your email, name, phone type and city so we can add you as a tester and email you about Mandli. Every email lets you opt out, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

No ads, no selling

Mandli shows no ads and does not sell or share data with anyone.

Children

Mandli is a general audience party game and does not knowingly collect personal data from children.
