SwatBrowser ("the App") is an iOS web browser developed and operated by HBKL Labs LLC. SwatBrowser blocks intrusive pop-ups, popunders, sneaky redirects, and other abusive page behavior so you can browse the web without being ambushed. This privacy policy explains what the App does and does not do with your information.

• There is no account, no sign-in, and no backend that stores who you are. The only exceptions are feedback you choose to send and Apple Ads attribution (see below).

• Your browsing history, tabs, bookmarks, and page content stay on your device.

• We do not sell your data, and we do not show you ads.

SwatBrowser has no user accounts and no registration. There is no server that holds a profile for you. Your browsing happens on your device, and the App does not upload your history, your tabs, your bookmarks, or the contents of the pages you visit.

The following is stored locally on your iPhone and is never transmitted to us:

• Your name, email, or any account identifier (there is no account). The only exception is the optional email you can add to feedback you choose to send.

• Your browsing history or the content of pages you visit.

• Location data, contacts, photos, microphone, or camera access.

• Cross-app or cross-site tracking identifiers.

• Advertising data for showing you ads. The App shows no ads and works with no ad networks. The one exception is the Apple Ads attribution described below.

SwatBrowser offers optional subscriptions through Apple's StoreKit 2. Purchases and their validation are handled entirely by Apple. We do not run a payment server and we never see your card details. Apple's handling of purchase data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

The SwatBrowser project also includes a free Chrome extension. It filters abusive page behavior locally in Chrome and does not add any separate collection of your browsing history or personal data beyond what is described here.

We run ads for SwatBrowser through Apple Ads, and we measure whether an ad led to a trial or a purchase. In your first launches the App asks Apple for an attribution token (Apple's AdServices; there is no tracking prompt and no advertising identifier) and checks it with Apple's attribution service. When you start a free trial or make your first purchase through the App Store, the App sends one event to an HBKL Labs service hosted on Cloudflare (feedback.hbkllabs.com). The event holds the type (trial start or purchase), the product, the attribution token, a random install ID the App makes for itself, and the App version. Our service uses the token to ask Apple which campaign, ad group and keyword the install came from.

This is Purchase History, Advertising Data and a random install ID, used for analytics only. It is not linked to you, it is not used to track you, and it does not include your browsing, your Apple Account or your device identifiers. Renewals are not sent. Cloudflare processes it on our behalf.

Settings has a Leave feedback option. If you choose to send a message, we receive the message you write (1 to 4,000 characters) and, only if you enter one, your email address. The App also sends its version and build, your iOS version and your device model. Nothing is sent unless you tap Submit. Feedback goes to an HBKL Labs feedback service hosted on Cloudflare (a Worker and a D1 database), which stores it and emails it to our support inbox. For rate limiting we keep a salted hash of your IP address, never the IP address itself. Cloudflare processes feedback on our behalf.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.

SwatBrowser does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the App has no account system and keeps browsing on-device, there is no personal profile to collect. If you believe a child has been affected in a way this policy does not address, please contact us.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date. Minor edits, such as typos or clarifications, may happen without notice.
