The American Board of Podiatric Medicine (“ABPM,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to respecting the privacy of individuals who interact with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information obtained through the ABPM Mobile Application (the “app”), which is one of the Services covered by ABPM’s Privacy Policy.
By accessing or using the app, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with its terms, please do not use the app. This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with ABPM’s Privacy Policy, Data Use Policy, and Terms of Use.
We limit data collection and processing to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate for the disclosed purposes.
Depending on how you interact with the app, we may collect information that identifies you or relates to you, including:
We may also receive information from third parties involved in podiatric medical education, training, examination, or credentialing processes.
We use collected information to:
The app and our websites use cookies and similar technologies to support functionality and analyze usage. Session-based cookies expire when your browser closes. You may manage cookies through your browser or device settings.
We may use tools to understand how users interact with the app and our websites.
We may share information with service providers, partners involved in certification activities, during organizational changes, or to comply with legal obligations. Access to ABPM data is limited to individuals and entities with a legitimate operational need. ABPM may use third-party platforms to process or store data, subject to contractual safeguards.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not permit third parties to use ABPM data for their own independent commercial purposes.
We implement reasonable safeguards to protect personal information. No transmission method is completely secure.
Information is retained as necessary to meet operational, legal, and accreditation obligations, and is disposed of appropriately when it is no longer required.
Because your app account is part of the record that establishes and maintains your ABPM certification, certification-related information is retained as part of ABPM’s certification records and is addressed through ABPM’s certification relinquishment process rather than through ad hoc deletion.
You may request deletion of your personal data by emailing admin@podiatryboard.org. We will process your request within 3–5 business days and notify you by email once it has been completed.
Certification-related information that establishes and maintains your credential is retained as described in Data Retention and is handled through ABPM’s relinquishment process. Other personal data associated with your use of the app can be deleted on request.
Individuals are responsible for ensuring their information is accurate and up to date.
The app is operated from the United States. By using the app, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States.
The app is not intended for children under 13.
We are not responsible for third-party websites linked through the app.
You may opt out of non-essential communications.
This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically.
