AI Disclosure & Transparency

Version 1.0 · Effective July 12, 2026 · Last updated July 12, 2026

1. You are interacting with AI

Some features of this Service use artificial intelligence — including generative AI — to produce responses, content, or recommendations. Where such a feature responds to you directly (e.g. a chat interface), you are interacting with an automated system, not a human, unless the interface explicitly says a human is involved. This disclosure is provided consistent with AI chatbot-disclosure laws (e.g. California's Bot Disclosure Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17941) and the EU AI Act's transparency obligations for systems that interact with natural persons (Article 50).

2. What AI features do here

GestPlate's meal-swap feature uses AI to generate food-idea suggestions. When you name a food you're craving, the AI interprets what you're after (flavor, texture, comfort) and proposes gestational-diabetes-friendlier, pregnancy-safe alternatives. These are general educational ideas, not medical advice, and every suggestion is run through a hard-coded safety layer before you see it. See our Medical Disclaimer & Safety notice.

3. Who processes your input

When you use an AI feature, the text (and any other content) you submit to it is sent to the following third-party AI provider(s) for processing: Anthropic (Claude API). See our Privacy Policy for how we handle that data more generally, and each provider's own privacy/data-use terms for how they handle it on their side (in particular, whether your input is used to train their models — confirm this with your provider agreement and disclose it here).

4. Limitations — please read

• AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or biased. It reflects patterns in training data, not verified facts.
• AI output is not professional advice — not legal, medical, financial, tax, or safety advice — even if it's phrased confidently or in a professional tone.
• You're responsible for independently verifying anything you rely on before acting on it.
• AI-generated content may unintentionally resemble existing copyrighted or trademarked material; we don't guarantee it's free to use for every purpose.

5. High-risk & consequential uses

This Service's default AI disclosure and safeguards are not sufficient if you use (or let your customers use) an AI feature to make or materially inform a decision about a specific person in an area such as employment, credit/lending, housing, insurance, healthcare, or education. Depending on your jurisdiction and use case, that can trigger additional obligations, for example:

• The Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205) — impact assessments, consumer notice, and an opportunity to correct/appeal for "high-risk" AI systems used in consequential decisions.
• NYC Local Law 144 — bias audits and candidate notice for automated employment-decision tools used by NYC employers.
• The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) — Annex III "high-risk" obligations (risk management, human oversight, logging) if the system is offered to users in the EU.
• Illinois, and a growing list of other states, regulate AI use in specific contexts like employment interviews and insurance underwriting.

If you plan to use AI for consequential decisions, do not rely on this baseline disclosure alone; implement feature-specific controls, human review, and any required assessments before deployment.

6. Synthetic content

This service does not currently generate synthetic images, audio, or video for users. If that changes, we will update this disclosure and add any required in-product labeling.

7. Your choices

Using the meal-swap feature is entirely optional — you control what you type in, and you can use the rest of your account without it. Your craving history is stored so you can revisit and save suggestions; you can request export or deletion of your data at any time (see our Privacy Policy).
