1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile and desktop application Digital Chant Counter (Package Identifier: com.lionsoftware.digitalchantcounter). We respect the sanctity and privacy of your spiritual practice. This policy describes how data is handled by the application.

2. Data Collection and Transmission

We collect zero personal data.

• No Account Required: You do not need to register, sign in, or provide an email, phone number, or password to use this application.
• No Analytics or Tracking SDKs: We do not integrate Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Facebook Pixel, adjust, AppsFlyer, or any third-party tracking libraries.
• No Advertisements: Digital Chant Counter does not contain ad networks (such as Google AdMob, Unity, or Meta Ads) and serves no promotional trackers.
• No Internet Permissions: The application does not require internet access permissions (android.permission.INTERNET is not requested in the AndroidManifest). It functions seamlessly in Airplane Mode.

3. How Your Data is Stored Locally

All data generated by your practice is stored locally on your device in sandboxed storage (such as browser localStorage or local app storage):

• Chant Counts & History: Cumulative repetitions, session timers, and completed mala counts.
• Naam Likhan Text: Handwritten or typed holy names entered into the continuous notebook.
• User Preferences: Chosen deity name, your preferred display name, selected daily targets (e.g., 108), audio themes, and haptic feedback settings.

This data never leaves your device and cannot be accessed by us or any external third party.

4. Permissions Requested

The application requests minimal, strictly necessary device capabilities:

• android.permission.VIBRATE: Used exclusively to provide subtle tactile haptic vibration when you tap a chant bead or reach your daily target. You can disable this anytime inside the Settings screen.

We never request access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, storage files outside the app sandbox, or device identity.

5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)

Digital Chant Counter is suitable for users of all ages, including children. Because the application does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information, it complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR-K, and Google Play Families Policy.

You maintain absolute control over all your data:

• In-App Deletion: You can edit or permanently delete individual chant sessions from the History screen.
• Reset All Data: You can clear all saved data and settings at any time via Settings > Reset Profile & Data.
• Device Level: Uninstalling the app or clearing the app's data/cache via your Android or Windows settings immediately and permanently deletes all stored data.

• Google Play Store Developer Program Policy regarding User Data and Privacy Policies (Section 4.8).
• Indus Appstore Developer Guidelines for Indian and international releases.
• Microsoft Store Application Policies regarding customer privacy and transparent data disclosure.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. Any updates will be reflected with a revised "Last Updated" date on this page. Because the app does not communicate with any server, changes will also be included in future application release notes.
