Our Commitment to Your Privacy
At Radha Naam Jap Counter, we deeply respect your privacy. This tool was created to support spiritual practice, and we believe your devotion should remain private and personal. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our website.
What Personal Data We Collect
We do not collect any personal user data. You can use this website without providing your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal information.
There is no login system, no registration form, and no user accounts. Your chanting count, streak, and all related data are stored only on your own device using browser local storage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
We cannot see how many times you have chanted, what your streak is, or any other practice-related information. Your spiritual journey remains entirely yours.
Google Analytics Usage
We use Google Analytics to understand basic website usage patterns. This helps us know if the tool is helpful and whether we should continue maintaining it. Google Analytics collects anonymous information such as:
- Number of visitors to the website
- Which pages are viewed most often
- How long visitors stay on the site
- Geographic region (country or city level, not exact location)
- Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
- Browser type and operating system
Google Analytics does not track individual users across sessions and cannot identify you personally. The data is aggregated and used only to understand overall website performance.
Cookies and Local Storage
Our website uses browser local storage to save your chanting progress on your device. This is not the same as cookies. Local storage keeps your count, rounds, and streak saved even after you close the browser. This data is stored only on your device and is not sent anywhere.
Google Analytics may use cookies to distinguish between different visits to the website. These cookies are set by Google and follow their privacy practices. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer, though this may affect the accuracy of usage statistics.
No Login, No Forms, No Data Storage
This website has no login system, no contact forms on the main tool page, and no backend database storing user information. We do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, payment information, or any sensitive personal data.
If you contact us via the email address provided on our Contact page, that communication is handled through standard email and is subject to the privacy practices of your email provider.
How We Protect Your Privacy
We are committed to protecting your privacy through the following practices:
- No user accounts or registration systems
- No tracking of individual users
- No selling or sharing of any data with third parties
- No advertisements or marketing emails
- All practice data stored locally on your device only
- Simple, transparent website with no hidden tracking scripts
Third-Party Services and Advertising Providers
To keep this counter free for everyone, we use third-party advertising companies, such as Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google advertising cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Analytics Tracking
We also utilize Google Analytics for basic website statistics. We do not use any other invasive tracking services or data collection tools. Google Analytics allows us to understand broad traffic patterns without identifying individual visitors.
For more comprehensive information about how Google uses data from sites that use their services, please carefully review the official documentation at: Google Privacy & Terms (Partner Sites)
Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliant)
Depending on your geographic location (such as residents of the European Economic Area under the GDPR, or California residents under the CCPA), you have certain legally mandated rights regarding any potentially identifiable data:
- The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
- The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
- The right to opt-out of data sales: We do not sell personal data. However, under the CCPA, you have the right to request that a business that sells consumers' personal data not sell your personal data.
Important Note: Because our architecture structurally avoids collecting, storing, or transmitting your personal data to remote servers (all streak data is local to your browser), we essentially already comply with maximal data minimization principles. If you wish to erase your data, you simply need to clear your browser's local cache and cookies.
Children's Privacy
Our website is suitable for users of all ages. Since we do not collect any personal information, there is no risk to children's privacy. Parents can feel confident allowing their children to use this tool for spiritual practice.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
