Likhita Mantra Jaap Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-11-02

How Version 2 stores your practice, measures optional anonymous usage, and processes voluntary support.

Your practice stays on your device

Your sankalpas, handwritten strokes, custom mantra text, guide scripts, mala counts, sitting history, and preferences are stored locally using SwiftData and UserDefaults. The app has no account system or developer-operated backend. This local data can be included in your device's standard iCloud or computer backup. The developer cannot restore it for you.

Anonymous usage analytics

Analytics is off until you explicitly enable Share anonymous usage in Settings. Version 2 requires a fresh choice; an earlier default-on setting is not treated as consent. When enabled, TelemetryDeck receives app interactions and aggregate practice measures such as launches, screens, selected catalog entries, repetition counts, sitting durations, language changes, and verified donation events. The SDK also supplies technical context such as app and OS versions, device information, region, and language, and uses hashed identifiers to estimate distinct users and returning usage.

Version 2 does not send handwriting, guide drawings, custom mantra text, payment details, your name, or contact details to analytics. Earlier versions could include custom mantra text in analytics; this update stops that transmission. Turning off sharing stops future event recording. Events already queued may still be transmitted, and previously received analytics are not deleted. See https://telemetrydeck.com/privacy/ for the provider's processing and retention information.

Advertising

Version 2 shows no advertising. The advertising SDK and all ad delivery code have been removed. Donations are optional and no feature requires payment. Any future change to advertising will require a new app release and an updated explanation of its data handling.

Optional donations

Donations are one-time consumable tips to support app development, processed by Apple's App Store through StoreKit. The app does not receive your card or bank details. It keeps finished transaction identifiers locally to avoid processing the same purchase twice. Approved purchases can complete later, including after a relaunch. Apple handles payment history and refund requests at https://reportaproblem.apple.com/.

Your controls

Turn off Share anonymous usage in Settings to stop future analytics collection. Delete individual sankalpas from Active. Manage reminders, chant, haptics, and language in Settings. Notification permission is requested when you enable a reminder and can be revoked in iOS Settings.

Deleting the app removes its local data and preferences. Previously received analytics and Apple purchase records follow their respective providers' retention policies. Device backups may retain older copies of local data.

Contact and changes

Contact praneel.business@gmail.com with questions about the app or its data handling. This policy applies to Version 2; material changes will be reflected in the date above.
