Our privacy approach
We keep the Visual Prep experience focused on learning, not unnecessary data collection. We do not sell personal information, we do not require learners to create a public profile to browse this static website, and we aim to limit information handling to what is needed to operate, improve, secure, and support the service.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how Visual Prep (“Visual Prep,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with our certification preparation website, related landing pages, email links, exam-prep content, and any Visual Prep-branded mobile or web study experience that links to this policy.
Visual Prep helps learners prepare for professional certification, licensure, aptitude, and career exams through practice questions, rationales, review tools, readiness guidance, and exam-style study structure. Because many learners use our resources during busy work or school schedules, we write this policy in plain language so you can understand what may happen with your information.
This policy is not a contract for clinical, educational, legal, or financial advice. It explains privacy practices for the Visual Prep service and should be reviewed together with any app store, payment processor, or third-party platform policies that apply to your use.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies when you visit the Visual Prep website, browse our certification prep catalog, contact us by email, request information about an exam track, or use a Visual Prep app or study tool that links to this page.
Some services that support Visual Prep may have their own privacy practices. For example, your browser, email provider, app store, device operating system, analytics provider, hosting provider, or payment platform may process information under their own terms. We do not control those independent policies, but we try to keep our own use of data limited and understandable.
- Website visitors: You can browse the static website and certification catalog without creating an account.
- People who contact us: If you email Visual Prep, we receive the details you choose to provide.
- App or study-tool users: Study activity may be stored locally on your device or handled as described inside the applicable app experience.
3. Information we may handle
Visual Prep is designed to avoid collecting more information than necessary. Depending on how you interact with us, the following categories of information may be handled.
Information you provide
Your name, email address, certification goal, message content, partnership inquiry, support request, or other details you choose to send to us.
Study-related activity
Practice progress, selected exam tracks, flagged topics, quiz performance, or readiness indicators may be stored locally or used to power the learning features you request.
Technical and diagnostic data
Device type, browser type, operating system, error logs, crash reports, timestamps, and basic performance data may be used to keep the service stable and secure.
Transaction information
If purchases are offered through an app store or payment provider, that provider handles payment details. Visual Prep does not need your full card number to provide study content.
Information we do not intentionally collect
We do not intentionally ask for sensitive health records, government identification numbers, full payment card details, protected patient information, or clinical records as part of normal exam preparation use. Please do not send private patient data, employer confidential information, or other sensitive material through support email.
4. How we use information
We use information only for reasonable purposes connected with operating Visual Prep, improving the learning experience, communicating with users, and protecting the service.
- Provide the service: Display certification prep content, organize exam tracks, support practice and review workflows, and make the website or app function properly.
- Respond to requests: Reply to support messages, partnership inquiries, custom app requests, feedback, or questions about certification tracks.
- Improve learning tools: Understand which features need refinement, fix errors, improve content organization, and make study sessions easier to complete.
- Maintain safety and reliability: Diagnose crashes, prevent misuse, troubleshoot bugs, monitor performance, and protect the website or app from unauthorized activity.
- Manage business operations: Maintain records of communications, comply with legal obligations, enforce terms, and manage provider relationships.
5. Local storage, cookies, and similar technology
The Visual Prep website may use browser storage, cookies, or similar technologies for basic functionality, preferences, performance, or security. For example, a browser may remember display preferences, search filters, or other non-sensitive settings that make the site easier to use.
Some Visual Prep app features may store study progress directly on your device so you can continue practice sessions, review missed topics, and see progress indicators. Local data can usually be removed by clearing browser storage, deleting app data, or uninstalling the app, depending on the platform.
You can often adjust cookie and local storage settings in your browser or device controls. Disabling certain storage features may affect search, saved progress, or other convenience features.
6. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We also do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Information may be shared only when necessary for the service, when you direct us to share it, or when required for legal and operational reasons.
- Service providers: Hosting, email, analytics, support, security, app distribution, or payment providers may process information for Visual Prep under their own technical safeguards and contractual obligations.
- Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, valid legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Visual Prep, users, or others.
- Business transfers: If Visual Prep is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate protections.
- With your direction: If you ask us to connect you with a partner, respond to a specific request, or process a communication, we may use the information you provide to complete that request.
7. Retention
We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Support messages may be retained so we can respond to you, improve service quality, and maintain business records.
Technical logs and diagnostic information are typically retained for a limited period needed to troubleshoot, secure, and improve the service. Study progress stored locally on your device may remain until you clear it, reset the app, delete the app, or use available deletion controls.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These safeguards may include access controls, limited internal access, provider security controls, secure hosting practices, and routine review of technical issues.
No website, app, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. You can help protect your information by avoiding the submission of sensitive personal data through general contact channels and by keeping your device, browser, and app store account secure.
9. Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of certain personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Contact information: You can ask us to update or delete information you previously sent to us, subject to reasonable verification and legal exceptions.
- Local study data: You can often remove locally stored progress by clearing browser data, resetting app data, or uninstalling the app.
- Communications: You can stop optional marketing emails by using available unsubscribe instructions or contacting us.
- Platform controls: App store purchases, subscriptions, device permissions, and crash-report settings may be managed through your device or app store account.
To make a privacy request, contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We may need enough information to verify your request and locate the relevant records.
10. Children’s privacy
Visual Prep is designed for learners preparing for professional certification, licensure, aptitude, and career exams and is not directed to young children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Visual Prep, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
11. International users
If you access Visual Prep from outside the country where our providers operate, your information may be processed in jurisdictions with different data protection rules. When information is transferred or processed internationally, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards and service providers that support responsible privacy and security practices.
12. Third-party links and platforms
The Visual Prep website or app may link to third-party websites, app stores, professional organizations, certification bodies, email services, or payment platforms. Their privacy practices are not controlled by Visual Prep. Review the policies of those third parties before providing information to them.
13. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, technology, or privacy practices. When we make changes, we will update the effective date on this page. Material changes may be highlighted on the website or communicated through reasonable channels when appropriate.
Your continued use of Visual Prep after an updated policy is posted means the updated policy applies to your use going forward.
