Does 1.3.5 apply if the form you're filling out is not about *you*?

The SC says, "The purpose of each input field collecting information *about
the user *can be programmatically determined when..."

Does "about the user" literally mean it must be information about the
person that is filling out the form?

For example, if I'm on my kid's school website and filling out a field trip
form and I fill in my name, contact number, etc, that's obviously
information about me. But if I'm also filling out information about my
child, such as their name, allergies, or whatever, that's not information
"about the user".

Does that mean the form fields regarding my child do not fall within 1.3.5?

If not, why not? Wouldn't the benefits of identifying an input field
regarding me also be beneficial for input fields not about me? Or would
that cause confusion? Say there was a birthdate field for me, and there's
technology that swaps out the birthdate label with an icon of a birthday
cake. But then there's also a birthdate field for my child. Would it be
confusing for both fields to have birthday cake icons and that's why the
success criteria only applies to input fields about me specifically?

Or, if the form I'm filling out is all about my child. No information
about me. It seems like the input purpose would be beneficial.
