Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 August 2026

1. Who We Are

Connect Solutions Ltd is a UK-registered company (Company No. 13683559). We operate the MTD4Trade and NestPilot mobile apps and this website. Contact us at info@connectsolutionsuk.co.uk with any questions about this policy.

2. What Our Apps Do

MTD4Trade helps sole traders and tradespeople meet HMRC Making Tax Digital requirements by capturing receipts, tracking expenses and mileage, and recording income for quarterly reporting.

NestPilot is a family awareness app designed to help busy parents manage household life. It provides a shared calendar, family profiles, expense tracking, shopping lists, document vault, and smart reminders. The app is used by parents and adult household members — it is not designed for children to use directly.

3. Information We Collect

MTD4Trade:

  • Account information: your email address and encrypted password (via Supabase Auth)
  • Receipt images and extracted data: photos of receipts, supplier names, dates, amounts, VAT, and line-item data extracted by AI
  • Manual expense entries: supplier, category, amount, and date
  • Mileage claims: miles driven and dates
  • Income data: quarterly income figures for MTD reporting
  • Job labels: labels you create to organise receipts and expenses

NestPilot:

  • Account information: your email address and encrypted password (via Supabase Auth)
  • Family profiles: names, dates of birth, allergies, medical conditions, medications, and emergency contacts you choose to add
  • Calendar data: events you create or import, and external calendar data (Apple/Google Calendar) you choose to sync (read-only)
  • Expense data: budgets, expense entries, and receipt images you photograph for OCR
  • Shopping lists: list names, items, and checked/unchecked status
  • Documents: files you upload to the document vault
  • Weather data: your approximate location (city/town level) for local weather advisories

Both apps:

  • Usage data: anonymous app interaction data to help us improve the service

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide the MTD4Trade or NestPilot app and its features
  • To generate reports and CSV exports for HMRC Making Tax Digital submissions (MTD4Trade)
  • To extract data from receipt images using AI (MTD4Trade) or on-device OCR (NestPilot)
  • To sync your family calendar and show relevant events (NestPilot)
  • To provide local weather advisories (NestPilot)
  • To send you reminders and notifications you have configured (NestPilot)
  • To communicate with you about your account or support requests
  • To improve the apps based on usage patterns

5. AI and On-Device Processing

MTD4Trade: Receipt images are sent to Google Gemini for text extraction and data structuring. Images are processed transiently and are not used to train or improve Gemini's underlying models.

NestPilot: Receipt images are processed on your device using Google ML Kit text recognition. Images are analysed locally and are not sent to any external server for OCR processing. Extracted text is stored only in your Supabase database.

6. External Calendar Sync (NestPilot)

If you choose to connect an external calendar (Apple Calendar or Google Calendar), NestPilot reads calendar data in read-only mode. We do not modify, delete, or create events in your external calendars. Calendar data is fetched via standard calendar protocols (CalDAV/ICS) and is not stored beyond what is needed to display events in the app.

7. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored on Supabase (hosted in the UK/Europe region). Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. We implement strict Row-Level Security ensuring each user can only access their own data.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. We share personal data only with:

  • Supabase — database and file storage (hosted in UK/Europe)
  • Google Cloud (Gemini) — AI receipt data extraction (MTD4Trade only)
  • Weather API providers — approximate location for weather advisories (NestPilot only, no personal data shared)
  • Apple/Google Calendar services — read-only calendar sync (NestPilot only, if you enable this feature)

Your financial and family data is yours and is not shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.

9. Children's Data (NestPilot)

NestPilot stores information about children (names, dates of birth, medical details) that is entered and managed by parents or adult household members. Children do not use the app directly. We do not collect data directly from children. Parents are responsible for the accuracy of information they enter about their children.

10. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, delete your data, and object to processing. Contact us to exercise any of these rights. We will respond within 30 days.

11. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data is permanently deleted within 30 days.

12. Cookies

This website does not use tracking cookies. Cloudflare may set essential cookies for security and performance. No personal data is collected through cookies on this site.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via the MTD4Trade or NestPilot app.
