I don't know that it matters much, I wouldn't really expect a 12 year old to be
interested in GnuCash anyway... and besides, 12 year olds know how to get
around most age restrictions.
I don't think that there's anything tracking related that the Alphavantage API
key gets them. They can already get the requesting IP and associate the list of
requested prices with it just like all of the other price sources. That's not
to say that GnuCash users who use price quotes or online banking aren't exposed
to tracking, just that it's not limited to Alphavantage. It's anyway pretty
minor compared to web-browser use, so I went looking for Epiphany's age rating
and couldn't find one.
