My co-founder handled the privacy policy so I've pinged him to provide a response. We'll get back to you as soon as possible!

EDIT: lynndotpy was right; it's required by law under COPPA if we have users under 13. It's the same reason that sites ask people for their age/birthday to check if they're under 13.

We want kids to be able to learn to cook too!



Still don't understand the "Your child" part. Does COPPA require the parent to sign up on behalf of their kid or something?


Yes, COPPA and the implementing regs require parental notice and affirmative consent: see 16 CFR Part 312, particularly §§ 312.4, 312.5
