Privacy Policy

DSM Consulting Group LLC respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information you share through this website.

Information we collect

Only what you choose to submit through our forms: your name, email, optional phone, organization, location, professional background and message. Talent Network applicants may submit one resume, stored in DSM's private Google Drive folder. Documents are quarantined pending a malware safety review and are never publicly shared.

What not to send

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account data, patient information or protected health information (PHI). We do not need it and will delete it if received.

How we use and protect it

To respond to inquiries, evaluate teaming opportunities and contact you about consulting opportunities. Submissions are stored in a secured database that is not publicly accessible. Access is limited to specifically authorized DSM administrators who must sign in with a password and a second verification step. Any email alerts we receive about new submissions contain only the inquiry category and time, not your details. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

Copies in DSM's private spreadsheets

After a submission is saved in our secured database, the same details are added as a row in a private Google Sheets spreadsheet that DSM administrators use to review submissions: Contact & Partnership Inquiries for Contact and Government & Public Sector Partnership forms, and Talent Network Applications for Talent Network submissions. Both spreadsheets sit in DSM's private Google Drive folder, are visible only to specifically authorized DSM accounts, and are never published or shared publicly. A Talent Network row holds the same application details as the website record plus the resume file name; the resume document itself stays a separate private Drive file and is never placed inside the spreadsheet.

Retention

General business and Talent Network submissions are kept for no longer than 24 months and are then deleted automatically. Associated resumes are queued for private Google Drive deletion; interrupted deletions are retried daily. A contents-free record of deletion is kept for audit purposes. Spreadsheet rows are not covered by that automatic deletion: they are kept until a DSM administrator removes them, so ask us to remove your row and we will remove it together with your submission. Submissions that become part of a formal contracting record may be retained longer where required by law or contract. You can ask us to delete yours sooner at any time, subject to those legal obligations.

Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information at any time through our contact form.
