Kid accounts have no email, no password and no prices. Link one to your account and you decide which games they see.
“No email, no prices, no strangers. This is the way.”
Kids register with NogginPrint: they type a name (any name — a nickname is fine), pick three pictures from a grid and a favourite colour. That combination is their login. There is no email field, no date of birth, and nothing that asks who they really are.
A kid account is the same site, cut down. They tick the cards they have, watch set progress fill up, build a binder, keep their graded cards — and that's it. Experience the site as a kid →
The "Never shown" list is enforced on the server, not hidden with a setting a child could change. A kid account that types the address of a locked game is sent back to their own page.
Linking is optional. An unlinked kid account works exactly as described above. Linking lets you widen it — and gives you the delete button.
On their page, under Grown-up link, they press Make a code. It looks like PK4M-7Q3X, works once, and expires after 24 hours.
Sign in to your own MasterSets account (it needs a verified email address), open Account → Kids and enter the code.
Their account now lists under yours. The child's page shows "Linked to your name" and the code disappears.
The name they typed, the pictures and colour they chose (stored as a one-way hash, never as the pictures themselves), the avatar they picked, and which cards they own. That is the whole record.
There is no email address, no date of birth and no real name required. Nothing about a kid account is shown to other users, and nothing is used for advertising — there are no ads on MasterSets. The full policy is on the privacy page.
It takes a child about a minute. Linking takes you about thirty seconds.
