FoodData Lookup answers nutrition questions from a local copy of USDA FoodData Central. This policy describes what the service handles when you use the Claude connector, the ChatGPT or Codex plugin, or call the HTTP server directly.
Food arguments select a database record and scale its nutrients. Profile fields select a published dietary reference intake. The session identifier keeps one conversation's profile from being applied to another. Connection logs are used to operate the service and respond to abuse.
The person who operates this server, and the hosting provider that runs it, can see the data above. Food lookups are answered from the local database and are not sent to USDA as a live query. Profile details are not sold, rented, or used for advertising.
The profile stays in process memory for that session. It is dropped when the conversation clears it, when the server evicts the oldest session past its in-memory limit, or when the process restarts. It is not written to a database. Meal arguments are not stored after the response is sent. The host keeps connection logs under its own retention settings.
You can tell the assistant to forget the profile, which clears the in-memory record. You can disconnect the connector or plugin at any time. There is no account to delete. To ask a question about this policy, use the support page.
