Is it okay to use info from previous games?

Of course, you should do this all the time.

No, you should use game related info only.

Absolutely not, doing this is like using Crap Logic.

I think this definitively is part of the game. I've even recently started with a Metagame spreadsheet were I'm marking down all kinds of info about the players that I notice. Its growing only slowly as I've just started and prefer to use info from games I'm in myself. You do get interesting things like a player that started game A and C with
random vote:xxxx
and game B without a random vote where he happened to be town in A and C and Mafia in B. If we start in a new game together I'll certainly watch his first post :wink: .
I also once went through all the minis on the old site to watch for some statistical evidence about first votes. I noticed that in several games I read the player that made the first post with a vote was scum. After 20 minis the stats looked promising with 60% of those being scum. After 35 it was back around the expected percentage though, so there was no correlation.
