Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how MantraCounter — Mantra Chanting & Tracker ("the App") collects, uses, and protects your information. The App is available on Android (Google Play) and iOS (Apple App Store); this policy covers both versions, with platform-specific details noted where they differ. By using the App, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Introduction
MantraCounter is developed by DailyBliss. This policy covers what data the App uses, how it is stored, and your rights as a user — on both Android and iOS.
2. Information We Collect
Practice data
The App stores the following data locally on your device:
- Mantra enrollments — name, deity image (selected from your device), daily target, and lifetime goal.
- Session history — date, mantra, and repetition count for each chanting session.
- Manually added past sessions entered by you.
- Statistics derived from the above (streaks, totals, averages).
- App preferences and settings.
All practice data is stored locally on your device only. It is never transmitted to any server.
Deity images
When you add a deity image to a mantra enrollment, the App reads that image from your device's photo library and saves a copy within the App's local storage. The image is never uploaded or transmitted anywhere.
Subscription data
- If you purchase a subscription, your app store processes payment information — Google Play Billing on Android, or Apple's StoreKit on iOS.
- The App itself does not access or store your payment details.
- Subscription status is verified locally via your platform's billing system (Google Play Billing on Android; StoreKit on iOS).
Device information
- Basic technical data such as device type and operating system version may be collected to improve performance.
- Crash logs may be collected to identify and fix issues.
No personal data
The App does not collect your name, email address, phone number, location, or any other personally identifiable information.
3. How We Use Information
- To record and display your chanting sessions and history.
- To calculate and display statistics, streaks, and progress toward your goals.
- To enable backup and restore of your practice data.
- To verify subscription status through your platform's billing system.
- To improve app stability and performance.
4. Data Storage & Backup
- All practice data is stored locally on your device only — using Android's secure app storage on Android, or iOS's app sandbox on iOS.
- No data is transmitted to or stored on any external server controlled by us.
- You can export your data as a JSON backup file at any time and store it wherever you choose (cloud storage, email, local storage).
- Backup files are plain JSON and remain under your full control.
- On Android, you may also store this export in Google Drive or any location you choose.
- On iOS, your practice data and deity images are additionally included automatically in your device's standard iCloud backup — the same way Photos or Notes are backed up — with no separate setup required. This is handled entirely by Apple's iOS backup system, not by us.
- The App functions completely offline — no internet connection is required except for subscription purchase and verification.
5. Permissions Explained
- Photo Library access: Required to let you select a deity image from your device's photo library when enrolling a mantra.
- Vibration / Haptics: Used to provide gentle haptic feedback as you count, and a completion signal when you reach your session target. No data is involved.
MantraCounter does not request location, microphone, camera, contacts, or any other sensitive permissions, on either platform.
6. Data Sharing
- We do not sell, trade, or rent user information.
- We do not share any practice data with any third party.
- Subscription and payment processing are handled securely by Google Play Billing (Android) or Apple's App Store / StoreKit (iOS), depending on which version of the App you use.
7. Free Trial & Subscription
MantraCounter offers a 30-day free trial with full access. After the trial period, continued access requires an annual subscription purchased through your device's app store — Google Play on Android, or the Apple App Store on iOS. Subscription management, cancellation, and refunds are handled entirely by that app store, in accordance with its own policies. The App does not process or store any payment information on either platform.
8. Data Retention
Your practice data remains on your device for as long as the App is installed. Uninstalling the App will delete locally stored data unless you have exported a backup beforehand (or, on iOS, unless it has been included in an iCloud backup you later restore from). We recommend exporting a backup before uninstalling or switching devices.
9. Security
All data is stored locally on your device — using Android's secure app storage on Android, or iOS's app sandbox on iOS. No sensitive data is transmitted over the internet. The JSON backup file is unencrypted — treat it as you would any personal file and store it somewhere only you can access.
10. Children's Privacy
MantraCounter does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13. Since the App collects no personal information at all, it is safe for users of any age, on either platform.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted within the App, on the Play Store and/or App Store listing, and the effective date will be updated. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
