About This Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information. We collect personal information when you use our website(s), mobile apps, and other online and offline products, services, and experiences (collectively, the “Services”). Please take a moment to read this Policy in its entirety.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or how we use your personal information, please contact us via email at support@geniusofyou.com.
What Personal Information We Collect and How We Collect It
We collect personal information that you provide directly to us:
-
Contact information: If you sign up to receive our newsletter, emails, or text messages, we will collect your name, email address, and any other information needed to contact you.
-
Payment information: To order products or services, you provide payment details. Financial information is collected and stored by a third-party payment processor. Use and storage of that information are governed by the processor’s privacy policy.
-
Survey information: You may provide additional personal information when you fill out forms, respond to surveys or questionnaires, provide feedback, participate in promotions, or use other features of the Services.
Survey & Research Data
When you participate in our surveys, we may collect demographic information, including ethnicity, sex, and profession. This information is used solely to understand broad population-level patterns and trends.
-
Participation is voluntary — you may skip any question.
-
Individual responses are not made public; results are reported only in aggregate.
-
We do not report statistics for groups with fewer than 200 respondents, nor analyze highly specific combinations (e.g., profession + ethnicity + sex).
-
You may request deletion of your data at any time.
Survey data is subject to the same security and retention practices described below.
How We Use Your Personal Information
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
-
To send you newsletters, information, or marketing about our Services.
-
To reply to your questions, inquiries, or customer service requests or to send you notices, updates, security alerts, or support and administrative messages.
-
To provide information about the Services you request or which may interest you.
-
To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities to improve the Services.
-
To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities, and to protect the rights and property of us and our customers.
-
To carry out obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
-
Survey demographic information is analyzed only at the group level to identify population trends and patterns. Individual-level survey responses are never shared publicly or used to make decisions about participants.
How We Share Your Personal Information
We may share your personal information in the following ways:
-
In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business.
-
When legally required, such as to comply with a court order or law enforcement. We will only disclose your personal data if we have a good-faith belief that such sharing is required under applicable law.
Survey data is never shared outside the research team, except in de-identified, aggregated form for research replication or audit purposes. Individual survey responses are never released publicly.
Your Marketing Choices
-
You will receive marketing messages only if you have asked to receive them or provided your information.
-
You may opt out of marketing messages at any time via the unsubscribe link or by contacting support@geniusofyou.com.
-
Survey participation and demographic responses are not used for marketing purposes.
Retention of Your Data and Deletion
Your personal information will not be kept longer than necessary for the specific purpose for which it was collected.
-
Survey demographic data may be retained indefinitely for research purposes.
-
You may request deletion of your personal or survey data at any time.
-
Once survey data has been fully anonymized and de-linked from any identifying information, it may no longer be possible to delete specific responses.
When deciding retention periods, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, potential risk of harm from unauthorized use, why we need it, and any relevant legal requirements. Retention may also occur to comply with legal obligations or for evidential purposes.
International Transfers
We will ensure that any transfer of personal information to countries outside of the United States occurs pursuant to appropriate safeguards.
Risk Considerations (Survey-Specific)
While we take steps to minimize risk, demographic survey data carries a theoretical possibility of re-identification in very small groups. We mitigate this risk by:
-
Reporting only aggregated results for sufficiently large groups (minimum 200 respondents).
-
Avoiding analysis of highly specific demographic combinations.
-
Restricting access to survey data to authorized research team members only.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Please check this page periodically for the latest information on our privacy practices.
