AI and Automated Processing

GoodSpoon uses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide personalized meal planning recommendations. Here's what you should know:

• How AI Uses Your Data: Your meal preferences, dietary restrictions, household information, and feedback are used to generate personalized recommendations and improve your experience with GoodSpoon
• Automated Decision-Making: Our AI automatically generates meal plan suggestions based on your inputs and preferences
• AI Limitations: While we strive for accuracy, AI systems can make errors. Always verify meal recommendations, especially regarding allergens and dietary restrictions
• Your Control: You can modify, reject, or provide feedback on any AI-generated recommendations. You're not required to follow AI suggestions
• Improving Our Service: We may use anonymous, aggregated data from user interactions to improve our AI models and meal planning features. This data cannot be traced back to you as an individual, and we never share individual user data with third parties

Important: AI-generated meal plans are suggestions only and should not be considered professional nutritional or medical advice. See our Terms of Service for full disclaimers.

Data Security

We take security seriously. We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is ever 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
