Only you. Your health data is stored securely in our database with row-level security — only your account can access it. We do not sell or share your data with advertisers. Your conversations are sent to AI providers for processing (see our Privacy Policy for details).

AI responses cost resources to generate. Herbalist has a weekly usage limit. Apothecary gets 10× that limit as a monthly pool — so heavier one-time features don't exhaust your allowance in a single week.
If you're on the Apothecary plan and you've used up your monthly budget, you can top up with credits ($5, $10, or $20). Credits are drawn after your monthly budget is exhausted and never expire.
Yes — basic symptom chat is available without an account. Your data stays in your browser (localStorage) and is not synced to any server. To unlock health reports, history, and all features, sign in with Google.
You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time from Settings → Usage → Manage subscription. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period.

No. We do not use your health data to train AI models. We send your conversations to AI providers via their API under terms that prohibit training on API data (where applicable — see each provider's API terms).
AI can be wrong. That's why Homebrew is an informational tool, not a diagnostic one. Always verify anything Homebrew tells you with a qualified healthcare professional before acting on it.
