1. Overview

Service CRM is field service management software for trade contractors and home services businesses. It’s cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS). Field staff uses the software via a native app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, and office staff can access the Service CRM dashboard via a web browser on their Mac or PC.

Service CRM is committed to maintaining the privacy of your personal information.

The primary purpose of this policy is to communicate to you how Service CRM deals with your personal information. It explains how we collect, use and disclose your personal information, as well as other information or data associated with you and your use of our services. It also informs you about rights and responsibilities you have regarding your personal information, in association with your use of our services.

We believe in informed consent at Service CRM. We therefore encourage you to read this policy carefully, to help you make an informed decision about sharing your information with us.

By accessing or using our website or software, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy as well as our Terms of Service.

This policy does not apply to third-party websites, products, or services even if they link to our Services, and You should consider the privacy practices and policies of those third parties carefully.

2. Information We Collect

Service CRM collects personal, business and non-identifiable information about You. This privacy policy is primarily concerned with how we deal with Your personal information.

End-customer personal information

Special categories of data

ServiceCRM does not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive special categories of data, such as personal information relating to race, ethnic origin, political association, trade union membership, religious beliefs, criminal records or health information.

If you want Your testimonial removed, please contact us at privacy@servicecrm.com./> ‍

Your contacts associated with your social media accounts, Service CRM’s social media contacts, and browsers of the applicable social media, in connection with any of Your social media activity related to Service CRM. ‍

Any other entity for which You have provided express consent for disclosure of Your information.

5. Security

Service CRM takes reasonable physical, technical and administrative precautions to protect Your information from loss, theft, or unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

Service CRM's servers are secured by SSL Certificates issued by Amazon, so all data transferred between You and Service CRM is encrypted, including data transferred to iPhone and iPad devices.

Service CRM is built from the ground up using Amazon's Cloud Computing technology. Your account data is backed up every 24 hours to Amazon's S3 infrastructure in multiple locations around the world. Data is redundantly stored on multiple devices across multiple facilities in an Amazon S3 Region (note this multi-region service is not available if You are located within the European Economic Area).

Notification of breach

Should Service CRM become aware of any accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure, or breach of personal information, if such a breach represents a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, Service CRM will notify You of the breach as soon as possible.

Username & password security

It is your responsibility to protect the security of your Service CRM username and password. Service CRM staff, and independent Service CRM Partners, do not have access to your password and will never ask for your password. Your Service CRM password should be unique.

6. Advertising & Choice

Service CRM will not sell or otherwise disclose Your information to marketers or promotional third parties without your consent.

Service CRM may use your information for the purpose of sending you training, marketing or promotional communications, related to the Service, or which we determine may be of interest to you due to being relevant to Your business or industry.

You may opt out of these communications via ‘unsubscribe’ mechanisms. However, note that we may still send You communications important to Your use and our provision and administration of the Service to You.

7. Access to Your Information & Retention of Information

You may access your information via Your Service CRM account or through a request to us.

You have the ability to access, alter or correct Your personal information within Your Service CRM account. It is Your responsibility to ensure the personal information You provide us is complete, accurate and up to date.

You can request, at no charge, all personal and other information we hold about you in writing at privacy@servicem8.com. Following an information request, if you believe any of the information we hold about you is unnecessary, inaccurate, out of date or incomplete, please contact us at privacy@servicem8.com.

To request removal of Your personal information from any websites or forums controlled by Service CRM, please request this in writing through privacy@servicem8.com .

We will process Your requests as soon as reasonably practicable. If it is not reasonable, practical, or appropriate for us to process Your request in the manner you have requested, or we determine it to be frivolous or vexatious, we will advise you accordingly.

You may access a backup of all data within Your Service CRM account once every 24 hours (in your Online Dashboard, go to Settings > Backup).

You may close Your Service CRM account at any time. This will terminate Your access to the Service and result in the immediate deletion or anonymization of your account data, including historic backups, stored in various locations around the world. However, note that Service CRM may have a variety of obligations to retain some or all of Your personal and other information for certain periods.

8. Use of Services by Minors

You may not use the Service if you are under 16 years of age, unless Service CRM is provided with the appropriate parental or legal guardian consent.

9. International Transfers

Our services are global and account data (including Your personal and other information) may be stored and processed in any country where we have operations or where we engage service providers, and we may transfer Your information to countries outside of Your country of residence, which may have data protection rules that are different to those of Your country. In these cases we will take measures to ensure that any such transfers, and Your information and account data, remain protected.

If You are located within the European Economic Area (EEA), your account data will be housed in data centres within the EEA. Note that certain personal information and account data may still be transferred outside of the EEA for the purpose of provision of the Service to You. In these cases, Service CRM has taken measures to ensure such transfers are provided an adequate level of protection and remain in accordance with applicable data protection law. You can read about Service CRM & the EU's General Data Protection Regulation here.

10. Responsibilities for processing and controlling personal information

Through provision of the Service to You, Service CRM has an obligation to process Your personal and other information, and account data, as directed by You as part of Your use of the Service, and in accordance with this policy and our Terms of Service. Under this policy and as a data controller, Service CRM has certain obligations to ensure the privacy of Your personal and other information.

In turn, Your use of the Service involves You collecting, holding and using certain personal and other information about Your customers and any other personal data. You determine and control the entry, use and retention of any personal information within your account. You should be aware of Your responsibilities as a data controller when collecting, holding and using personal information about Your customers, and the corresponding rights of Your customers or data subjects.

If You collect, hold and use a third party's personal information as part of Your use of the Service then You warrant to us that You have the third party’s consent to do so.
