Himal Mistry ("Developer," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Jap Namah Shivay mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.
By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the App.
To provide, secure, and improve our spiritual and chanting tools, we collect the following types of information:
During registration and profile creation, we collect your Name, Date of Birth (DOB), Gender, Mobile Number, and Email Address. We also collect a Password to secure your account.
To participate in the Global Leaderboard, we collect and display the screen name and avatar you choose to use.
We collect data related to your in-app activities, including your valid Jap count, daily streaks, level progressions, and unlocked virtual rewards (such as Mala types and themes).
If you utilize the custom slots to save your own mantras or organize folders, we store this information to ensure your personal practice is preserved.
We automatically collect diagnostic and usage information—such as device type, operating system, app interaction events, and crash reports—to help us monitor and improve the App.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
Your Email Address and Mobile Number are used for account verification, to maintain your unique identity within the system, and for account recovery.
To operate the App's core features, including counting Japs, updating streaks, managing your custom mantras, and maintaining the Global Leaderboard.
We utilize tools like Google Analytics to track in-app events and user behavior, allowing us to understand how the App is used and to make data-driven improvements to the user experience.
To respond to your customer support requests and send important account-related notifications.
We value your privacy and do not sell your personal data. We may share your information only in the following situations:
As a core feature of the App, your chosen display name, avatar, level, and total valid Jap count will be visible to other users on the Global Leaderboard.
We share usage and event data with Google Analytics to help us analyze app traffic and usage patterns. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect our rights, property, and safety.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information:
Your account password is encrypted prior to storage to protect against unauthorized access.
To further safeguard your account access and securely manage app state, we utilize custom cookie-based authentication checks rather than relying on standard persistent storage middleware.
While we strive to protect your data, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission or data storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You have the right to control your personal data:
You can update your profile information, display name, and avatar at any time within the App settings.
You can initiate the deletion of your account directly within the App settings. Upon requesting deletion, your account will enter a seven (7) day grace period. If you do not log back into the App within this 7-day window, your account and all associated data (including personal information, Jap counts, streaks, and custom mantras) will be permanently and irrevocably deleted from our active databases, subject to any legal retention obligations. Logging into the App during the 7-day grace period will automatically cancel the deletion request.
Our App is strictly intended for users who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not use this App or submit any personal information. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from an individual under 18 without verified parental consent, we will take immediate steps to permanently delete that information from our servers.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact:
