EngageCRM.io Privacy Policy
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in US and International privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.
What data do we collect?
Engage CRM processes two broad categories of personal information when you use our products and services:
Your personal information as a user/customer (or potential user/customer) of Engage CRM – information that we refer to as Customer Account Data, and The personal information of your contacts’ who use or interact with your business that uses Engage CRM’s platform – this category contains both your Customer Usage Data (e.g., communications metadata) and your Customer Content (e.g., the contents of communications). Engage CRM processes these categories of personal information differently because the direct relationship we have with you, our customer, is different than the indirect relationship we have with your contacts who interact by phone or text with you through our Platform.
What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our blog, website or app?
When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information or other details to help you with your experience.

How Engage CRM processes your personal information.
Engage CRM collects and processes your personal information in the following possible ways:
When you visit a Engage CRM public-facing website like engagecrm.io, sign up for a Engage CRM training event, like Two Days to Engage CRM, or make a request to receive information about Engage CRM or our products, like a Engage CRM demo; When you contact Engage CRM’s Sales Team or Customer Support Team; and When you sign up for a Engage CRM account and use our products and services. We call this personal information Customer Account Data.
Data protection (aka privacy) laws in certain jurisdictions, like the European Economic Area (EEA), differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A controller decides why and how to process personal information. A processor processes personal information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions. When Engage CRM processes your Customer Account Data, the Engage CRM entity with whom you are contracting is acting as a “controller”.
Broadly speaking, we use Customer Account Data to further our legitimate interests to:
-understand who our customers and potential customers are and their interests in Engage CRM’s product and services, -manage our relationship with you and other customers, -carry out core business operations such as accounting and filing taxes, and -help detect, prevent, or investigate security incidents, fraud and other abuse and/or misuse of our products and services. -personalize user’s experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested. -to allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.

How Engage CRM Processes Your Contacts’ Personal Information
Your contacts’ personal information typically shows up on Engage CRM’s platform in a few different ways which is obtained temporarily through API from your Engage CRM App database:
Communications-related personal information about your contacts, like your contacts’ phone numbers for number-based communications show up in our systems when you use or intend to use this information to contact your contact through use of our products and services.

Your contacts’ personal information may also be contained in the content of communications you (or your contacts) send or receive using Engage CRM’s products and services. This information is what we refer to as Customer Content.
As noted above, data protection (aka privacy) law in certain jurisdictions, like the EEA, differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. When Engage CRM processes Customer Content, we generally act as a processor. When we process Customer Usage Data, we act as a processor in many respects, but we may act as a controller in others. For example, we may need to use certain Customer Usage Data for the legitimate interests of billing, reconciling invoices with telecommunications carriers, and in the context of troubleshooting and detecting problems with the network.

We use Customer Usage Data and Customer Content to provide services to you and to carry out necessary functions of our business as a communications service provider. We do not sell your contacts’ personal information and we do not share your contacts’ information with third parties for those third parties’ own business interests.
How Long Do We Store Customer Usage Data and Customer Content and Exercising Choices About Contact Personal Information
Details regarding how long your contact personal information may be stored on Engage CRM systems and how to delete, access, or exercise other choices about contact data will depend on which Engage CRM products and services you are using and how you are using them.

When and Why We Share Your Personal Information Or Your Contacts’ Personal Information

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.
