Privacy
MockNest is built for parents who set up practice for their child. This page explains what we store and why, in plain English. It is a product privacy notice for families using mocknest.co.uk.
Who the account is for
The signed-in account belongs to the parent or guardian. You add a child profile so practice and reports stay organised. The child uses the app under your account — they do not create their own login.
What we store
- Parent: email, sign-in details via our auth provider Clerk, optional name.
- Child profile: display name, year group, target exam year, and preferences you set.
- Practice data: which questions were shown, answers chosen, correct/incorrect, and when a sit happened — so we can show progress and what to practise next.
- Billing (if you subscribe): plan status and payment references from our payment provider Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on MockNest servers.
What we do not do
- We do not sell children’s data.
- We do not run a child social network, public leaderboard, or in-app chat between families.
- We do not use your child’s answers to advertise to them.
- We do not put essential service data into ad networks.
Why we need it
To run the service you asked for: save progress, show explanations, and give you a parent report. Auth keeps the nest private to your household.
Who we share data with
Only companies that help us run MockNest (processors), for example:
- hosting / database
- sign-in (Clerk)
- payments (Stripe), if you subscribe
- email delivery, if we use it for support replies
They may only use the data to provide that service to us. We do not sell personal data.
Children and UK data protection
Where we process a child’s practice data, we do so because you (the parent/guardian) created the account and asked us to provide the service. You can update or remove child profiles and request deletion as below.
How long we keep it
We keep account and practice data while your account is active. If you ask us to delete the account, we remove or anonymise personal data within 30 days, except where law requires a short retention (for example invoices or fraud prevention).
Your controls
- Update child profiles from the parent area.
- Request export or deletion by emailing hello@mocknest.co.uk from the parent email on the account (or via account settings when available).
- Cookies: see Cookies.
Questions?
Email hello@mocknest.co.uk. We reply to parents about account and data changes — not to children acting alone.
