Compliance process with respect to international data privacy
The CRM module follows the principles of EU Safe Harbor and other Privacy domains. We don’t collect any data from users for our use, except during the payment process which is pretty typical for all web-based services. All other information including a user’s location, email and phone number are needed only for those users to run their business on our platform. For example, if they need to print their address, email and phone number on their proposals or invoices. The CRM module never uses information provided by our users and hence does not mandate users to provide any of that information. All PII and sensitive information are completely optional. The CRM module does not provide any of our client data to third parties. Our policies clearly indicate that clients own their data and we never intend to use their information. We do make an exception to this policy and indicate clearly in our terms of use that we may be forced to share client data with law enforcement in accordance with appropriate legal procedures.
