Privacy Policy
Last updated · June 2026
FirstPass NP (“we,” “us”) is a board-certification prep platform for nurse practitioners (FNP & AGNP — the AANP and ANCC exams). This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've written it in plain language and we try to collect as little as possible.
What we collect
Account information. If you create an account, we collect your email address, an optional first name, and a password (handled securely by our authentication provider — we never store your password in plain text). You can use much of FirstPass NP anonymously, without an account.
Study and usage data. Your practice answers, readiness, streaks, study plan, and progress. Most of this is stored on your own device; if you create an account, it is also saved to our database so it follows you across devices.
AI tutor messages.When you ask our AI tutor (Flo) a question, your message and the relevant question context are sent to our AI provider to generate a response. Don't share personal health information or anyone's private data with the tutor — it is a study tool.
Basic analytics.We record first-party, privacy-minded usage events (for example, “started a practice session”) to understand and improve the product. We also use Google Tag Manager to load measurement and advertising tags (such as Google Analytics and Google Ads), which set cookies and receive your device and usage data so we can understand how people find us and how well our ads work. We don't sell your data.
No patient or protected health information
FirstPass NP is an exam-preparation tool, not a clinical system. Do not enter real patient information or protected health information (PHI) anywhere in the app. We do not knowingly collect PHI.
How we use your information
To provide the service: run your practice, compute your readiness, sync your progress, and answer your tutor questions. To improve the product and content. To communicate with you about your account or important changes. We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with (service providers)
We rely on a small set of providers who process data on our behalf: a database and authentication provider, a hosting provider, an AI provider that powers the tutor, a marketing and messaging platform, and analytics and advertising providers (Google). They may only use your data to provide their services to us. We don't sell your personal information.
Cookies and local storage
We use browser local storage and essential cookies to keep you signed in and to save your progress and preferences. Our analytics and advertising tags (loaded through Google Tag Manager) also set cookies to measure traffic and ad performance. You can block or clear these in your browser settings, or use a tracker-blocking extension, without losing access to the app.
Your choices and rights
You can browse our public pages without an account. Studying in the app requires one, because your readiness, progress, and study plan are tied to it. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data by emailing us, and we'll action it. Deleting your account removes your synced data from our database. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA; email us to exercise them.
Data security and retention
We use reputable providers and reasonable safeguards to protect your data, though no system is perfectly secure. We keep account data while your account is active and delete or anonymize it on request.
Children
FirstPass NP is intended for NP students, practicing NPs, and other adults. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the product evolves; we'll revise the date above. Questions or requests: support@firstpassrn.com, the shared support inbox for FirstPass RN and FirstPass NP.
