This Privacy Policy describes how Bellthorp collects and uses your personal information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. We understand that privacy is important when you engage with our community of social deduction game enthusiasts, and we take your trust seriously.

We collect information in several ways to enhance your experience on our platform and within our community:

• Personal details when you register for events or create an account, including name, email address, and age verification
• Usage data about how you browse our site, interact with content, and participate in community discussions

• Cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences
• Communication preferences and feedback you provide about our events and services

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our services. Your data helps us personalize your experience, recommend relevant game events and meetups, and communicate important updates about community activities. We analyze usage patterns to understand how adults aged 40-60 engage with social deduction games and use this insight to enhance our event offerings. We may also use your information to send newsletters about upcoming Mafia game nights and role-playing meetups, process registrations for party game events, respond to your inquiries, and maintain the security of our platform.

Your Privacy Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information at any time. You can request a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to update inaccurate information, or request that we remove your information from our systems. You also have the right to opt out of marketing communications while remaining able to participate in community events. We respect your choices and will not use your data for purposes you have not consented to. If you have concerns about how we handle your information, you may lodge a complaint with relevant privacy authorities in your jurisdiction.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and gather analytics about how you use our website. These cookies help us remember your preferences, understand which events interest you most, and improve our platform’s performance. We use both session cookies that expire when you close your browser and persistent cookies that remain on your device. You can control cookie settings through your browser, though disabling cookies may affect your ability to access certain features. We also use third-party analytics services to better understand our community’s needs and preferences. Your data is never sold to third parties and is used solely to improve our service to the Mafia game community.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include encryption of sensitive data, secure server infrastructure, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your account information confidential to help protect your privacy.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of our platform after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
