The App is designed for use by parents and legal guardians aged 18 and older. The App is not intended for direct use by children, and children should not create accounts or use the App independently.
10.1 Information About Children
While we do not collect information directly from children, we do collect information about children that is provided by their parents or legal guardians, including:
Child's age (optional)
Food preferences and eating habits
Food exposure tracking data
Notes about eating patterns and behaviors
By providing information about your child, you represent that:
You are the parent or legal guardian with authority to provide such information
You consent to our collection, use, and storage of this information as described in this Privacy Policy
You understand you are responsible for the accuracy of information provided
You have read and understand how we use and protect your child's information
10.2 COPPA Compliance
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
The App is designed so that only parents and guardians (aged 18+) can create accounts and enter information. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information directly from a child under 13 without proper parental consent, we will delete such information promptly.

10.4 Note on Data Classification
The information you enter about your child's food preferences and eating habits is for educational and tracking purposes only. We do not treat this as protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA, and the App is not designed to store or manage medical records or diagnoses. If your child has medical conditions or diagnoses, you should maintain those records with your healthcare providers.
11. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.
When we transfer your information internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure your information remains protected, including:
Using standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
Ensuring the recipient country provides adequate data protection
Obtaining your explicit consent where required
12. Third-Party Links
The App may contain links to third-party websites, services, or applications that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through the App.
13. Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want your online activities tracked. The App does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals due to the lack of industry standards.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will:
Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
