3. AI-Generated Content

Portions of the content on CookThisMuch — including meal plans, recipe suggestions, nutritional guidance, and related text — are generated or assisted by artificial intelligence (AI) technology, including models provided by Anthropic (Claude API).

While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies. It is provided for informational and convenience purposes only and should not be treated as professional nutritional or medical advice. Always consult a qualified professional for dietary decisions that affect your health.

AI models used to generate content may process the inputs you provide (such as dietary preferences or meal plan parameters) to produce a response. We do not use your personal data to train third-party AI models.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party providers to operate our service. These providers access only the data necessary to perform their function and are contractually obligated not to use it for other purposes. Our current providers include:

6. Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use strong, unique passwords for your account.
