Privacy Policy

At Japa Counter (japachantingcounter.com), your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we do and do not collect when you use our website, how any information is handled, and the choices available to you. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

A Practice That Respects Your Privacy

Japa Counter is designed to be used freely and privately. You do not need to create an account, sign in, or provide any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number in order to use the japa counters, the Mantra Library, or the Meditation Timer. Your practice is your own.

Information Stored on Your Device

To make your experience convenient, certain information such as your mantra counts, completed malas, lifetime totals, and preferences may be stored locally in your own web browser using technologies like local storage. This information stays on your device, is used only to remember your progress and settings between visits, and is not transmitted to us as personal data. Clearing your browser data will remove this information.

Cookies and Advertising

Japa Counter is a free service supported in part by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.

You can control or opt out of personalized advertising. You may opt out of Google's use of cookies for personalized ads by visiting Google's Ads Settings, and you can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You may also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting industry pages such as aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu. Most web browsers also allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings, though some site features may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.

Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand, in aggregate, how visitors use our site, for example which pages are most popular. Any such data is used only to improve the website and is not used to personally identify you.

Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external websites that we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Children's Privacy

Japa Counter is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can address it.

Your Choices and Rights

Because we do not collect personal accounts or profiles, there is generally no personal data held by us to access, correct, or delete. You retain full control over the information stored in your own browser and over your cookie preferences.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
