AI POLICY

1. Overview of AI Features

Goated incorporates generative artificial intelligence ("AI") to provide enhanced functionality and a more personalized experience. Our AI-powered features include:

• Natural Language Food Logging: Describe your meals in plain language and our AI will parse and log the nutritional information
• Exercise Logging: Log workouts through conversational input
• Personalized Coaching: AI-generated suggestions based on your goals, progress, and coach notes
• Workout Plan Generation: AI-created workout plans tailored to your fitness level and goals
• Nutrition Plan Generation: AI-created meal plans based on your calorie and macro targets

2. AI Features Provided "As-Is"

All AI-powered features are provided "as-is" without warranties of any kind. You understand and acknowledge that:

• AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions
• AI features do not constitute medical, nutritional, fitness, legal, or financial advice
• AI outputs are approximations based on available data and algorithms
• Results may vary based on how you describe inputs or phrase requests
• AI features may be updated, modified, or discontinued at any time

3. User Responsibility

When using AI-powered features, you are solely responsible for:

• Verifying Accuracy: Always review and verify AI-generated nutritional information, calorie estimates, and recommendations before relying on them
• Human Oversight: Do not rely on AI to make automated decisions in high-risk areas such as health, medical, or safety matters without appropriate human review
• Editing Results: You have full control to edit, modify, or delete any AI-generated content in your logs and plans
• Professional Consultation: Consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical decisions, not AI

4. Data Usage for AI

To provide personalized AI features, we process certain data including:

• Profile Information: Your name, goals, calorie targets, and fitness preferences
• Nutrition Data: Your meal logs and macro tracking history
• Workout Data: Your exercise logs and workout history
• Chat History: Recent conversation messages with the AI assistant
• Coach Notes: Notes from your personal trainer (if applicable)

This data is processed securely to generate personalized responses. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for advertising purposes. Your data is not used to train external AI models.

5. Data You Should Not Submit

AI features are designed for fitness and nutrition content. You should not upload or submit the following types of data to AI features unless explicitly designed for that purpose:

• Facial images or biometric identifiers
• Identity documents (passport, driver's license, etc.)
• Medical records or detailed health information
• Financial information (credit cards, bank details)
• Sensitive personal data about third parties

We reserve the right to block or remove content that violates these guidelines.

6. How Our AI Works

Our AI approach prioritizes accuracy and transparency:

• Real Data Grounding: When logging meals, our AI prioritizes matching against real, verified food entries from our database rather than generating estimates from scratch
• Transparent Breakdown: AI breaks down complex meals into individual ingredients so you can inspect and verify each component
• Editable Results: Every AI-generated entry can be edited by you to correct any inaccuracies
• Context-Aware: When you have a personal coach, their notes and guidance are incorporated into AI responses for more relevant advice

7. AI Disclosure

In compliance with applicable laws and transparency requirements:

• AI-powered chat features are clearly labeled as AI assistants, not humans
• AI-generated content (such as workout plans and nutrition plans) is identified as AI-generated
• You are always interacting with an AI system when using chat-based logging features

8. Limitations of AI

AI technology has inherent limitations that you should be aware of:

• AI may misinterpret ambiguous descriptions or unconventional foods
• Calorie and nutritional estimates are approximations that may differ from actual values
• AI cannot account for allergies, intolerances, or medical conditions you haven't explicitly mentioned
• AI responses may occasionally be inconsistent or unexpected
• AI cannot replace the judgment of qualified health and fitness professionals

9. Your Control Over AI Features

You have full control over AI features in Goated:

• Opt-Out: You can disable AI features entirely in Settings → Data & Privacy → AI Features
• Edit or Delete: Any AI-generated content can be edited or deleted at any time
• Data Export: Request an export of all your data including AI interactions
• Account Deletion: Delete your account to remove all data, including AI interaction history

If you disable AI features, you will not be able to use natural language logging, AI-generated plans, or personalized AI coaching suggestions.

10. Third-Party AI Services

Goated uses third-party AI services to power certain features. These services:

• Process data according to their own privacy policies and terms
• Are selected based on their privacy and security practices
• May change over time as we improve our AI capabilities

Your data is transmitted securely to these services and is used solely to provide AI functionality within Goated.

AI technology evolves rapidly. We may:

• Update, improve, or modify AI features at any time
• Add new AI capabilities with future app updates
• Discontinue specific AI features if necessary
