The simple solution here is to change the lines to
confdir /home/USER/.guix-profile/etc/privoxy
logdir /home/USER/log/privoxy

If you want an untested user shepherd service, here's one I've come up
with on the spot:
(define privoxy
(make <service>
#:provides '(privoxy)
#:docstring "Privoxy filters outgoing internet connections"
#:start (make-forkexec-constructor
'("/var/guix/profiles/per-user/USER/current-guix/bin/privoxy"
"--no-daemon" "/home/USER/.config/privoxy/config")
#:log-file "/home/USER/log/privoxy/privoxy.log")
#:stop (make-kill-destructor)
#:respawn? #t))
(register-services privoxy)
And then you'd add that to your ~/.config/shepherd/init.scm
I have at the bottom of mine:
;; Send shepherd into the background
(action 'shepherd 'daemonize)
(for-each start '(syncthing kdeconnect))
and at the top:
(use-modules (shepherd service))
