Legal Disclaimers

1. General Disclaimer

PregSafe is a digital information service that provides ingredient safety guidance for food products and cosmetic/toiletry ingredients during pregnancy and when trying to conceive. The PregSafe app analyses ingredients, product data and user queries using a combination of our proprietary safety database and a large language model (AI) constrained to operate within predefined information sources.

PregSafe does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or personalised health recommendations. Nothing within the PregSafe app, website, chatbot, emails, social media content, or any other PregSafe communication should be interpreted as medical or clinical guidance.

Always consult your doctor, midwife, obstetrician or qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, skincare, medication, supplements, lifestyle or pregnancy care. If you have a medical concern, seek professional assistance immediately.

By using PregSafe, you acknowledge and agree that all decisions you make are your own and are made at your own risk.

2. No Medical Advice

All information provided through PregSafe is for general informational purposes only. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Ingredient safety ratings
  • Explanations of "avoid" or "use with caution" classifications
  • Food product safety flags
  • Nutritional or processing information
  • AI-generated responses within the PregSafe chatbot
  • Product examples or comparisons
  • TTC, pregnancy or postpartum safety guidance

PregSafe does not replace medical or dietary advice from a qualified healthcare professional. PregSafe is not a regulated medical device or diagnostic tool.

None of the information provided should be used to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure any condition, nor should it be used as the sole basis for any health-related decision.

3. Proprietary Safety Standards (Subjective Criteria)

PregSafe's cosmetic ingredient ratings ("Avoid", "Use with Caution", "No Risk Found") are based on our own independent research, interpretation of available evidence, and internal criteria. These standards are subjective and not universal.

Guidance may differ between:

  • Scientific organisations
  • Regulatory bodies
  • Medical professionals
  • Countries and governing authorities
  • Other ingredient safety databases

Our interpretations and classifications reflect PregSafe's chosen thresholds, priorities and risk considerations. You acknowledge and understand that other experts or organisations may reach different conclusions, and that ingredient safety remains an evolving field.

4. Food Data and Ingredient Lists (Accuracy & Limitations)

The PregSafe app accesses food product information from Open Food Facts, an external database containing millions of items. Open Food Facts includes data collected from product labels, manufacturer submissions and entries submitted by its community of users. Because some entries rely on user-generated information, occasional inaccuracies may occur, including:

  • Incomplete or outdated ingredient lists
  • Incorrect nutrition information
  • Mislabelled or duplicated products
  • Missing or inconsistent data

PregSafe cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or reliability of any ingredient list, nutritional data, processing score or product description sourced from Open Food Facts.

All safety guidance provided within the PregSafe app is generated solely from the information available in the product record at the time of your query. If the data is inaccurate or incomplete, the resulting guidance may be affected.

PregSafe does not assume liability for any outcome arising from inaccuracies within Open Food Facts or information submitted by its users.

5. AI Limitations & No Guarantees

The PregSafe chatbot is powered by a large language model that has been restricted to operate within PregSafe's defined data sources. However:

  • AI outputs may still be incorrect, incomplete or misunderstood
  • The chatbot may not always recognise product names or ingredient spellings
  • AI-based analysis cannot replace human judgment or clinical expertise

PregSafe does not guarantee that any response, explanation or safety classification is error-free.

You agree not to rely solely on AI-generated information when making decisions related to your health, pregnancy, fertility or childcare.

6. No Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PregSafe, its founders, employees, contractors and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or special damages arising out of or connected to:

  • Your use of the PregSafe app
  • Reliance on ingredient ratings or food safety guidance
  • Decisions you make based on our information
  • Adverse reactions, pregnancy outcomes or fertility outcomes
  • Inaccurate or incomplete product data
  • AI-generated responses
  • Changes in scientific knowledge or safety standards

You use the PregSafe app entirely at your own discretion and risk.

7. User Responsibility

By using PregSafe, you agree that:

  • You are responsible for verifying ingredient lists, product labels and dietary suitability.
  • You will consult your healthcare provider before making health-related decisions.
  • You understand that PregSafe's guidance is general and not tailored to your personal medical circumstances.
  • You accept that PregSafe's ingredient ratings are subjective and may not align with third-party organisations.
  • PregSafe has no responsibility for the consequences of your personal health, dietary or skincare decisions.

8. Scientific Change & Research Updates

Ingredient safety research, nutritional science and pregnancy guidance evolve over time. PregSafe does not guarantee that:

  • Information is always up-to-date
  • Safety ratings reflect the most recent scientific developments
  • All studies, data or emerging risks have been considered

We may update our criteria, research, database entries or classifications at any time without notice.

9. No Warranty

PregSafe provides all information "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. This includes (but is not limited to) warranties of accuracy, reliability, completeness, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose.
