Junior Nibblers & Child Safety

1. A Parent Is Built Into Every Junior Account

• Parent-linked by design. A Junior Nibblers account is linked to an adult's account. There is no standalone kid account.
• Signup needs the parent. A junior joins with a parent's email address and the parent's consent.
• Nothing counts until a parent signs off. When a kid submits a Challenge Training activity, the linked adult reviews and signs off on it first. Only then are points earned and the next tier unlocked.

2. Non-Competitive — By Design, Not by Promise

• The real challenge board is 18+ only. Competitive food challenges — the timed, eat-it-all kind — are for adults.
• Juniors are listed separately. Junior Nibblers are never ranked against adults and never appear on the competitive board.
• The junior track is lifestyle, not eating contests. It's called Challenge Training: Daily Chore, Clean Your Plate, and Workout activities in five gentle, progressive tiers. Kids build good habits; they do not race a clock against a pile of food.

3. Almost No Data on Kids

• Under-13 registration is minimal: first name, last initial, and state/country. That's it — nothing more is collected at signup.
• No public profiles for juniors beyond that minimal listing in their own separate, non-competitive division.

4. Photos Are Reviewed Before Anyone Sees Them

• Location data is stripped. Uploaded photos are re-encoded, which removes EXIF/GPS location data from the file.
• Every photo waits for a human OK. Member challenge photos — including the Crew Photos panels on country pages — sit in an approval queue. Only approved photos ever appear on the site.

5. The Safety Rules, in Writing

Our Eating Guide carries a Safety First section on every read, and it applies to the whole brand:

• Fun, not a dare. Stop if you feel ill. Never attempt a challenge alone.
• Check with a doctor first if there is any health condition.
• Juniors sit the competitive part out — that line is printed in the guide itself, not just here.
