Privacy Policy for JapCounter

Last updated: 13th Feb 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how JapCounter ("we", "us", or "our") handles your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information Collection and Use

JapCounter is designed to respect your privacy. We do not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) or usage data on our servers.

• Local Data Storage: All data generated by the app, including your chanting counts, session history, and preferences (such as name, vibration, and sound settings), is stored locally on your device using on-device database technologies (SQLite).

• No Cloud Sync: Your data remains on your device and is not transmitted to any external server or cloud service managed by us.

2. Device Permissions

The app may request the following permissions to function properly:

• Vibration: To provide haptic feedback during chanting (Mala counts).

• Storage/File System: To save your settings and session history locally on your device.

3. Third-Party Services

The app is built using Expo and React Native. While we do not collect data, the underlying operating system (iOS or Android) or the store platforms (Google Play Store or Apple App Store) may collect anonymous usage statistics or crash reports depending on your device settings.

4. Data Security

Since your data is stored locally on your device, its security depends on your device's security. We recommend keeping your device secure to protect your local data.

5. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Since the app does not collect personal data and functions entirely offline, it is safe for use by all ages.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
