Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Introduction

Welcome to SwiftHerb. This policy explains what we collect when you use our supplement discovery site and AI Advisor, and what happens when you leave SwiftHerb to shop on iHerb or other sites.

Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, including:

Chat messages and queries you submit
Product preferences and interactions
Click tracking data (stored locally in your browser)

We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it. All chat history is stored locally in your browser using localStorage.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide personalized supplement recommendations
Improve our AI service and recommendations
Track product clicks for analytics (stored locally)
Ensure the security and functionality of our service

Data Storage

Your chat history and preferences are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. We do not store your personal conversations on our servers. You can clear this data at any time by using the 'Clear chat history' feature.

Third-Party Services

We rely on outside services that have their own privacy rules:

iHerb: When you click a product link, you leave SwiftHerb. iHerb and any affiliate tracking partner in the link path may collect data under their own policies.
Affiliate networks: Outbound links may pass through a tracking redirect (for example Admitad or, once approved, Impact) before you reach iHerb.
AI providers: Chat messages may be sent to an AI API (such as DeepSeek) to generate replies. Read that provider's policy for retention and use.

We do not sell your chat text. We aim to keep server-side storage of conversations minimal.

Cookies and Tracking

On SwiftHerb itself we mostly use browser local storage for chat history and local click notes. We do not run ad retargeting pixels on our pages.

When you click an affiliate product link, third parties in the redirect chain (affiliate network and iHerb) may set their own cookies or similar identifiers. Those are governed by their policies, not ours.

You can clear local storage in your browser or use private browsing if you prefer.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Access your locally stored data
Delete your chat history at any time
Opt out of data collection (by not using the service)
Request information about data we process

Since data is stored locally, you have full control over it.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the 'Last Updated' date.
