3. AI-Powered Features

ThriveTable uses Claude AI, developed by Anthropic, to power our ThriveTable Companion feature. When users interact with the ThriveTable Companion feature, we collect anonymized topic data only (such as general subject categories). We do not store, read, or retain the actual content of any user messages. This data is used solely to improve our content library. AI responses are generated automatically and are for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute medical, therapeutic, or professional advice. Please review Anthropic's Privacy Policy for more information.

4. Medical Disclaimer

ThriveTable provides general pediatric feeding therapy information and strategies created by a licensed occupational therapist. The content in this app is intended for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

ThriveTable is not a substitute for professional medical advice from your child's healthcare provider. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your child's feeding approach, especially if your child has medical conditions affecting feeding, swallowing, or nutrition.

If you have concerns about your child's health or development, please consult your pediatrician or a qualified feeding therapist.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase (Firestore), a cloud database service provided by Google. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.

6. Third-Party Services

We work with the following third-party service providers, each of which processes data according to their own privacy policies:

• Google Firebase — Database and hosting services
• Stripe — Payment processing
• Anthropic — AI-powered features (Claude)

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data with our service providers solely to operate and improve ThriveTable. We may also disclose data as required by applicable law.

8. Your Rights

10. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

ThriveTable is designed for parents and caregivers of children. Our app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Parents and caregivers may enter information about their children (such as nicknames, birthdays, and food preferences) as part of setting up their family profile. This information is stored securely, used only to personalize the app experience, and is never shared with third parties or used for advertising purposes.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent, please contact us immediately at info@mythrivetable.com and we will delete it promptly.
