Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 27, 2026

At Online Tasbih Counter (OTC), accessible from our website, your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by OTC and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us through our Contact Us page.

1. Data Storage & Local Storage

OTC is designed with a privacy-first approach. We do not require account creation, login credentials, or personal profiles.

  • Local Browser Storage: Your counting progress, active target numbers, step sizes, and selected theme preferences are saved locally on your device using your web browser’s localStorage technology.
  • No Server Transfers: This data remains strictly on your device. It is never transmitted to, processed by, or stored on our external servers.
  • Data Control: You can clear your counting data at any time by resetting your counter on the site or clearing your browser’s cookies and local storage settings.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Because we operate without user accounts, we do not collect or store:

  • Your name, email address, or phone number.
  • Your specific dhikr history, daily routines, or worship logs.
  • Any sensitive personal information.

3. Log Files and Standard Web Analytics

Like most standard web servers, OTC uses basic log files and standard web analytics tools to monitor website performance and traffic. This information includes:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
  • Browser type and language
  • Internet Service Provider (ISP)
  • Referring/exit pages and timestamp details
  • Number of clicks to analyze trends and administer the site

This information is not linked to any data that is personally identifiable. It is used solely to maintain site speed, diagnose server errors, and optimize user experience.

4. Cookies and Advertising

To keep OTC 100% free for users worldwide, we display non-intrusive banner advertisements to cover basic web hosting and server costs.

  • Third-Party Vendors: Third-party vendors, including advertising networks (such as Google AdSense), may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to our website or other websites.
  • Ad Cookies: These cookies allow advertisers to serve relevant ads to users based on their navigation habits without collecting personally identifiable information like names or emails.
  • Opting Out: You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or manage personalized ad preferences through your browser’s ad settings.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites (such as Islamic resources, references, or social channels). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us, and we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of those websites.

6. Children’s Information

Protecting children using the internet is important to us. OTC does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. Since no personal data is collected on this platform, young users can safely use the tool for learning and practice.

7. Consent

By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect site improvements or regulatory updates. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
