Transparency
Compass classifies sources before they can appear in evidence, scoring, or customer-facing responses.
Source policy
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Preferred sources | Allowed | First-party, licensed, open, or public-domain sources such as OSM, Open Food Facts, Wikidata, restaurant partnerships, structured restaurant-owned data, government datasets, and user corrections. |
| Derived public signals | Allowed with caution | Public logged-off web content used only as derived signals, with attribution and paraphrasing rules. |
Evidence rules
Every evidence object keeps provenance: source URL, fetch timestamp, evidence type, source class, and weight. API output is limited to permitted source classes. Review-derived signals are paraphrased and stripped of user identifiers.
Conservative outputs
Compass does not claim absolute dietary safety. Responses use language such as likely suitable, likely not suitable, unknown, insufficient evidence, and verify with restaurant. Reason codes carry the structured verdict.
Customer obligations
Customers must preserve required attribution, avoid using Compass as the sole basis for medical decisions, honor deletion requests that cascade to their systems, and keep redistribution within their contract rights.
