Privacy Policy

geniusDPM is an education, coaching, consulting, and thought-leadership organization serving podiatrists, practice owners, associates, team members, healthcare professionals, and related organizations. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information you may voluntarily provide when you interact with the geniusDPM website and our related websites, tools, assessments, and services, including The S5 Method and the S5 Method Scorecard.

Information You Provide

When you choose to contact us through the website, you may voluntarily provide information such as your first name, last name, email address, an optional phone number, an inquiry topic, and the content of your message. You are under no obligation to provide this information, but doing so helps us respond to your inquiry.

Assessment Information

Some geniusDPM tools and assessments, including the S5 Method Scorecard, may ask you to voluntarily provide information such as your role, your practice priorities, and your responses to assessment questions. You are under no obligation to provide this information, but doing so allows us to calculate your assessment results and provide personalized educational feedback and recommendations.

The S5 Method Scorecard is a practice assessment tool. It is not intended for the submission of patient information or protected health information (PHI). Please do not include patient data or any individually identifiable health information in assessment responses or any other form on our websites.

• Deliver requested assessment results and related communications.
• Improve the website, our content, our tools, assessments, and frameworks, and the visitor experience.
• Operate and administer the business.

Phone Numbers and Text Messages

Providing a phone number through a website form does not automatically constitute consent to receive marketing text messages. If you separately provide consent to receive non-marketing SMS communications related to an inquiry, message frequency may vary, message and data rates may apply, and you may reply STOP at any time to opt out of further SMS communications.

We Do Not Sell Your Information

geniusDPM does not sell personal information to advertisers or third-party marketers.

The website may use cookies, analytics, and standard website technologies to understand how the site is used and to improve its performance and reliability. These tools may collect non-identifying technical information such as browser type, device information, and pages visited. You can typically control cookies through your browser settings.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may use trusted third-party service providers to operate the website, manage forms and communications, and deliver our services. These providers may process information on our behalf in accordance with their own policies. We do not control the privacy practices of third parties.

Third-Party Websites and Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites, including external resources such as book retailers. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website you visit.

Data Security and Data Retention

We take reasonable measures to help protect information submitted through the website. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information.
