FirstDay privacy policy
Last updated 11 September 2026.
FirstDay turns the school's emails and PDFs into one calendar, one supply list and one form tracker. This policy explains what is kept, where it sits, and who can reach it.
What you forward is sent to Anthropic to be read
This is the part you are least likely to assume, so it is here rather than at the bottom. When you forward an email or upload a PDF, its full contents are sent to a large language model run by Anthropic, which reads it and returns the dates, the supplies and the forms. The whole document goes, including anything the school put in it that you were not thinking about.
This is information about a child
School correspondence names your child, their class, their teacher and often their school. You are entering it, and it is held as your record as their parent.
We ask for as little about them as the app can work with: a name to tell one child's list from another's, and a year or class where a document mentions it. There is no date of birth field, no photograph, no address and no school login. Your child has no account here, we will never contact them, and nothing about them is used for anything but building your own lists.
What is stored
- Your email address, and whether your subscription is active.
- Each child you set up, by the name you gave.
- Documents you forward or upload, and the structured records read out of them.
- Deadlines, supply items and form statuses, with the dates they are due.
- A record of reminders sent, so the same one is not sent twice.
What is not stored
No password, because there is not one. Signing in is by a code sent to your email address. No school portal credentials, no child's date of birth, no photographs, no grades and no payment details.
Who can see it
You, and nobody else using the app. Every table checks the signed in account against the owner of the row before returning anything. There is no school view, no teacher access and no sharing between parents. We do not sell any of it, we do not send it to advertisers, and nothing about a child is used for advertising in any form.
Who else is involved
- Anthropic receives the documents you forward, as above.
- Supabase hosts the database and sends the sign in codes.
- Resend delivers reminder emails, and receives your email address and the contents of that reminder.
- RevenueCat sits between the app and the app store and tracks whether your subscription is active. It receives the purchase events and an identifier for your account.
- Apple handles the payment itself. Card details go to Apple and never to us.
Deleting it
Deleting your account removes your profile, every child you set up, every document and everything read out of them, immediately and unrecoverably.
