Everything a grown-up might reasonably want to check before handing over the iPhone. No marketing on this page — only what the app actually does.
The shortest way to explain our children’s games is by what is missing from them.
Every action that is not play sits behind a parental gate. Foxy, the fox chef, asks your child to fetch a grown-up out loud, and then the screen asks for something a small child cannot supply.
A dark screen with large number buttons and one question: the year of birth of the adult. The answer only opens the door if it lands between 18 and 100 years ago. There is no arithmetic to do and no small print to read — it takes an adult about three seconds and stops a two-year-old completely.
The year is never saved. It exists only as characters on screen while it is being typed, and is discarded the moment the check is done. Nothing about it is written to the device or sent anywhere.
We never take your money. Every payment in an App Store app is charged by Apple to the adult’s Apple ID, using the payment method already on that account. We never see or hold a card number, and no purchase can happen without the account holder’s own authentication.
A purchase can only be reached through the grown-up gate described above. If you would rather the possibility did not exist at all on that device, iOS can remove it:
With that set, in-app purchase buttons stop working everywhere on the device, in our apps and in everyone else’s. If a purchase has already happened and you would like it back, the refund page explains how Apple handles that.
Each of these can be switched off in the Parent Zone or in iOS Settings, and play continues without any of them. Nothing here is recorded, stored or transmitted.
One more thing worth being exact about: the app sends nothing anywhere, but the progress and pictures it keeps live in its ordinary storage on your device, and iOS includes that storage in your device backup. If you have iCloud Backup switched on, they are part of that backup, like every other app’s data. That backup is yours and Apple’s; we cannot see or reach it.
Every gesture also has a plain tap alternative, so the game is fully playable with the microphone and motion both switched off.
The Parent Zone has a play timer. Set a number of minutes and Foxy announces that the kitchen is closing when the time is up — the game ends the session itself, so the grown-up is not the one taking the iPhone away.
Our position on every one of these is the same, and it is the simplest one available: we do not collect anything, so there is nothing to store, share, sell, secure or ask consent for.
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act governs collecting personal information from children under 13. We collect none — no name, no e-mail address, no photographs, no voice, no location, no identifiers, and no usage analytics. Nothing is therefore disclosed to any third party, because nothing exists to disclose. No verifiable parental consent mechanism is required, because no collection takes place.
No personal data within the meaning of the GDPR is processed by us. Progress, settings and any dish photos stay in the app’s own storage on your device, under your control, and are removed with the app. There is no profiling and no automated decision-making.
Apps in the Kids Category must not include behavioural advertising, must not send personally identifiable information or device identifiers to third parties, and must put purchases and links out of the app behind a parental gate. We meet all three, and our App Store privacy card is filed as Data Not Collected.
This is a one-person studio, and the person is a parent too. If something here is unclear, or you want to know exactly what the app does before you install it, write to me and I will answer properly.
