Privacy Policy
HS Code AI, operated by TechIBI · Last updated 25 October 2026
HS Code AI ("the app") helps Shopify merchants assign customs (HS) codes to their products and keeps those codes current. This policy explains what information the app uses, why, and how it is protected.
Information the app uses
- Store information: your shop's domain and the access token Shopify issues when you install the app.
- Product information: product titles, descriptions, product types, vendors, tags, variant names, product images, HS codes and countries of origin. This is needed to suggest and save customs codes.
- App activity: the codes suggested and applied, your plan, and how many AI classifications you have used.
The app does not access, collect or store personal information about your customers (such as names, emails, addresses or orders).
How the information is used
- To suggest HS codes for your products and save the codes you approve to your Shopify store.
- To check your codes against the official US tariff schedule and alert you when they change.
- To enforce plan limits and show your usage.
Your information is never sold and is not used for advertising.
Service providers
- Anthropic (Claude AI) receives product details and images to suggest codes. Anthropic does not use API data to train its models.
- Fly.io hosts the app and its database in the United States.
- Shopify provides store data and handles billing.
Retention and deletion
Data is kept while the app is installed. When you uninstall, Shopify notifies the app 48 hours later and all data stored for your shop is permanently deleted. You can also email us to request deletion at any time.
Security
Data is transferred over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access tokens and API keys are stored as encrypted secrets, and access is limited to what the app needs: reading products and updating inventory items.
Your rights
You may ask what data we hold about your store, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or ask questions about this policy by emailing vibin@aiflowchart.io. Shopify's data requests (including GDPR requests) are handled automatically.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
Suggested codes are not a binding customs ruling. Merchants are responsible for the codes they declare. See our Terms of Service.
