3. Food, allergy, and health responsibility

The content is general information, not medical care or individualized nutrition advice. Users must review labels, ingredient suitability, allergens, religious or dietary requirements, recalls, food-safety instructions, and cooking temperatures. In an emergency or for medical needs, consult an appropriate licensed professional.

4. Billing, access, refunds

The current MVP offer is a one-time $1 purchase for 30-day starter access. It does not automatically renew. Refund handling will follow the displayed policy and mandatory law.

5. Feedback and complaints

Feedback may be sent to info@ibfoodtech.com. A formal complaint may be submitted through the clearly labeled complaint link available on every page. We aim to respond to a written complaint within 15 business days; mandatory legal deadlines apply where different.

6. Intellectual property and personal use

Plans are licensed for the purchaser household’s personal, non-commercial use. They may not be resold, republished, scraped, or used to train another product without written permission.

7. Availability and changes

Content and features may change, but a material price or renewal-term change will be communicated in advance and handled as required by law.

8. Liability, governing law, disputes

[COUNSEL-DRAFTED LIABILITY CAP, GOVERNING LAW, VENUE, CONSUMER RIGHTS, AND DISPUTE LANGUAGE]

Legal review required: the provider is based in Latvia/EU but sells to US consumers. Counsel should address mandatory US consumer law, Latvian/EU establishment obligations, jurisdiction, taxes, complaint handling, and enforceability rather than relying on a generic US template.

Privacy notice structure

Privacy

Controller and contact

SIA “EDINGOLD Baltic”, registration No. 40203421744, Tīnūžu šoseja 17, Ikšķile, Ogres Municipality, LV-5052, Latvia, is the controller for website, paid starter access, support, and marketing data. Privacy contact: info@ibfoodtech.com.

Data collected

• Email address and source/campaign parameters for the free starter plan and $1 paid starter checkout.
• Checkout status, transaction identifiers, and limited billing metadata from Stripe; MealBloom should not store full card details.
• Delivery, support, complaint, suppression, and message-engagement records.
• Analytics events, device/browser data, IP-derived coarse location, and cookie choices where enabled.

Purposes and legal bases

Deliver requested content and paid starter access; process payments; provide service communications; comply with accounting and consumer-law duties; prevent fraud; measure the MVP; and send optional marketing only with the required consent or another valid legal basis.

Processors and transfers

Expected categories: hosting, database, Stripe, email delivery, analytics, support, and professional advisers. List each provider, purpose, location, and transfer mechanism before launch.

Retention and rights

Define separate retention periods for leads, customers, accounting records, consent evidence, support, analytics, and suppression lists. Provide access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction, portability, consent withdrawal, opt-out, and complaint channels as applicable. Respect US state privacy rights and GDPR rights without discriminating against users who exercise them.

Cookies and analytics

Start with necessary measurement only. If non-essential advertising or cross-site tracking is added, deploy a consent/opt-out mechanism appropriate to the user’s location and honor recognized preference signals where required.

Legal review required: because the provider is established in the EU, GDPR obligations may apply even when the initial audience is in the US. Counsel should also assess CCPA/CPRA and other US state thresholds, notices, opt-outs, data-processing agreements, international transfers, and children’s privacy.

AI transparency

Responsible use of AI

MealBloom may use AI tools to assist with recipe ideation, editing, layout, and operations. Subscriber-facing meal plans are human-reviewed before publication. AI output must not be treated as an authoritative allergen, nutrition, medical, price, or food-safety determination.

For this MVP, users do not directly interact with a chatbot and the service does not make high-risk automated decisions. A concise transparency statement is still included as a trust measure.

Legal review required: reassess EU AI Act Article 50 and other duties if a chatbot, synthetic people/voices, personalized health recommendations, automated nutrition claims, or public-interest AI text is later added.
