Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Naam Jap ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use the Naam Jap website and Android application (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the practices described below.

Information we collect

We collect two categories of information:

Information you provide

When you contact us through the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message. This information is collected only when you choose to submit it.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, we collect limited, non-identifying usage data through analytics tools, including pages viewed, approximate geographic region, device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site. This data is aggregated to help us understand how the Service is used and is not used to identify you personally.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to respond to your enquiries, operate and improve the Service, understand usage trends, and maintain the security and integrity of the Service.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies for analytics purposes. These help us measure visitor activity and improve the experience. The website also uses your browser's local storage to remember your preferences and progress; this information remains on your device and is not transmitted to us. You may disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting the core functionality of the counter.

Third-party services

We rely on a small number of trusted third-party providers to operate the Service, including providers for analytics, typography, contact form processing, application distribution, and website hosting. Each provider processes information in accordance with its own privacy policy. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the data practices of these third parties.

Data stored on your device

Your practice data, including selected mantras, counts, completed malas, streaks, and preferences, is stored locally on your device. It is not transmitted to or accessible by us. You may permanently remove this data at any time by clearing your browser data or uninstalling the application.

Mobile application

The Naam Jap Android application stores all practice data locally on your device. It does not require an account and does not transmit personal data to our servers. Please refer to the application's listing on the Google Play Store for its complete data safety disclosure.

Disclosure of information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may disclose information only where required to comply with applicable law or legal process, to protect our rights or the safety of our users, or with your explicit consent.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Contact submissions are retained for a limited period and then deleted. Analytics data is retained in accordance with our analytics provider's standard retention settings.

Data security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, or to object to certain processing. Residents of India are protected under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023; residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom under the GDPR; and California residents under the CCPA. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the Contact page.

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently done so, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

International users

The Service is operated from India. If you access it from elsewhere, your information may be processed in India or in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date below reflects the most recent revision, and material changes will be communicated through the website. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
