1. What this site is

Rape Statistics Worldwide is an independent public-data project that visualizes officially published crime statistics on sexual violence (sources: India's National Crime Records Bureau, UNODC, and national statistical agencies).

2. Data we collect

We do not collect personal information. There are no user accounts, no contact forms, no comments, and no newsletters on this site. We do not ask for your name, email address, or any other identifying information.

3. Local storage (language preference)

When you switch between English and Hindi using the language toggle, your choice is saved in your own browser's local storage so the site remembers it on your next visit. This information never leaves your device and is never sent to any server. You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.
