Privacy Policy

1. Information We Process

Naam Jap Voice Counter is designed to minimize the amount of information needed for daily mantra and Naam Jap practice. Depending on the features you use, the following information may be processed.

• Microphone access: When you activate voice-counting features, your browser may request microphone permission. The microphone is used only after your browser grants permission and while the voice feature is active.
• Voice-recognition processing: Recognition is handled by browser speech-recognition functionality and may involve a third-party speech service depending on your browser and device. We do not intentionally record or maintain a personal voice archive on our servers.
• Local practice data: Counts, streaks, selected mantras, theme preferences, language choices, and related settings may be stored in your browser’s local storage on your device.
• Technical information: Our hosting provider, security tools, analytics tools, or advertising partners may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location, referring page, and access time.
• Contact messages: When you contact us through our website form, your message, name, and email address are delivered to us via EmailJS solely to respond to your inquiry or feedback.

2. Local Storage and Device Data

The website may use browser local storage to remember practice counts, streaks, preferences, theme settings, and other app settings. This information is stored by your browser for this website’s origin and is not normally sent to our server by the localStorage API.

You can remove this information by clearing the website’s stored data through your browser settings. Clearing browser data may permanently remove locally saved counts and settings.

3. Microphone Permissions

Microphone access is optional and is required only for voice-counting features. Your browser must request and receive permission before audio input can be accessed.

You can deny microphone access or revoke permission later through your browser or device settings. Touch & Auto counting features may remain available without microphone access.

4. Cookies and Advertising

• Personalized advertising: Advertising may be based on your visit to this website or other websites, subject to applicable law, consent requirements, and your advertising settings.

Each third party may process information under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party service you choose to use.
