A. How Our AI Works
Smart Marketplace utilizes large language models (LLMs) to interpret complex menu data and match it against your saved preferences. This process involves "Prompt Engineering," where your dietary profile is compared against menu databases to highlight potential matches or risks.
B. The "Human-in-the-Loop" Requirement
While our AI is highly capable, it is not a "certified nutritionist." Smart Marketplace is a decision-support tool, not a medical diagnostic tool.
User Responsibility: The user maintains final responsibility for food consumption.
Allergy Warning: Because menu formulations at restaurants can change without notice, our AI may not always reflect the most current "real-world" kitchen practices.
C. Technical Processing & Third Parties
To provide high-quality responses, your anonymized queries may be transmitted to third-party AI infrastructure providers.
Anonymization: We strip direct identifiers from your profile before a prompt is sent to a third-party model.
No Training on Your Data: We contractually request (where possible) that our providers do not use Smart Marketplace user prompts to train their future public models.
