What do we do?

We respect your rights and aspire for satisfying your requests within the statutory deadlines. We process your data as we expect others to process our data.

As a Hungarian company, we provide a cloud-based client management system. Protecting your personal data is a priority for us. In earlier times - before the GDPR — our goal was to comply with the German data protection rules, prescribing stricter rules and regulations than the Hungarian ones.

We take care of your data, transfer them via encrypted channels, never sell them to anyone else and never use them for any purposes other than for what you have provided them.

We have our website; we measure its use, maintain a log for security reasons, we have online marketing with targeted campaigns, we process the data given by you, as a data processor we help your company with the CRM solution.

If you require so, we will issue your data after identification. If you require so, we will erase your data.

  • Protecting your rights.
  • Identifying you, communicating with you.
  • Identifying your entitlements.
  • Customizing the system and marketing messages sent to you. Ensuring targeted, relevant messages based on the area of interest, industry, company type, deciding factor and job position.
  • Client support, consulting, product presentation, answering questions.
  • Creating statistics, analyses and decision support. Based on this, coordinating content and product development to produce actually used functions and actually read contents.
  • Software product development and safe operation.
  • Creation of services, service quality and security conditions undertaken in the General Terms and Conditions.
  • Compliance with our legal obligations.
  • Pursuing our legitimate business interests.

Data processed

We process the data given by you:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Phone
  • Website
  • LinkedIn/Facebook profile link
  • Billing address, place of business

We log the data for security reasons:

  • Viewed page/function
  • Browser cookie

We build a profile for marketing purposes:

  • What problem do you need to find a solution to, why you need CRM?
  • What are your main decision viewpoints?

The profile construction is based on the data you provide. Our goal is that the messages we send are really interesting and relevant to you. We also do not like receiving general messages that are not relevant to us.

Based on the profile data, we target and build newsletters manually with hand-made filters. There are no decisions based on automated data processing during the process.

We log the calls:

  • Call metadata (who-when talked with whom)
  • All incoming calls to our central number are recorded after the pre-recorded message is automatically played, for quality assurance reasons (in case of complaints and randomly selected calls, managers retrospectively listen to the recordings and develop the capabilities of the client service team through coaching).

As a data processor, we store the data recorded by you in the MiniCRM System. The range of these data depends on the fields you create, and this is your responsibility what data you capture in those.

Web analytics on the website

Please note that we use Matomo Analytics, Google Ads Remarketing, Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Facebook Pixel to measure the attendance of the www.minicrm.hu website and monitor visitor activity, prepare statistics, and optimise the performance of our ads.

The referred programs place so-called cookies in your browser, which store unique user identifiers. As a user of the MiniCRM website, you agree to the use of Matomo Analytics, Google Ads Remarketing, Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Facebook Pixel. You also agree to the monitoring and tracking of your activity and the use of all the services provided by the programs.

Additionally, you have the option to disable the capture and storage of information in cookies at any time in the future as described below. Please note that the settings and usage of Matomo Analytics, Google Ads Remarketing, Google Ads Conversion Tracking and Facebook Pixel programs fully comply with the requirements of the Data Protection Authority.

Matomo Analytics does not use a third-party cookie. The program is installed on MiniCRM’s server, and the collected data is accessible only by MiniCRM. We have configured Matomo Analytics in such a way that it does not collect IP addresses. The only personal data stored are the history of visited pages, the device, and the operating system used. These data do not allow for the identification of individuals.

Matomo Analytics

MiniCRM uses Matomo Analytics primarily for the production of its statistics, including measuring the effectiveness of its campaigns. Using this programme, MiniCRM mainly gets information on how many visitors have visited its Website and how much time visitors spent on the Website. The program recognizes the visitor, so you can track whether the visitor is a returning or a new visitor. Also, it can track the activity of the visitor, the traffic source and accessed pages.

With the Google Ads Remarketing programme, MiniCRM collects DoubleClick cookie data in addition to the usual data. The DoubleClick cookie allows you to use the remarketing feature that primarily ensures that the MiniCRM Website visitors can later see the MiniCRM ad on free ad surfaces. The MiniCRM ads are also displayed on external service providers’ websites, such as Google. MiniCRM and external service providers such as Google use their own cookies and third-party cookies (such as DoubleClick cookie) to collect users’ past visits to the Website for orientation and for optimizing and displaying ads.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking is designed to enable MiniCRM to measure the effectiveness of Google Ads. This is done using cookies placed on the User’s computer, which exist for 30 days.

Facebook Pixel

MiniCRM uses Facebook’s remarketing pixel to increase the efficiency of Facebook ads, to build a so-called remarketing list. So, after visiting the Website, you can see ads on external service providers websites, such as Facebook. Remarketing lists are not suitable for personal identification. They do not contain visitor’s personal information, only the browser software is identified. We use these lists also to exclude MiniCRM users from viewing ads/advertisements for the service they are already using.

Disable cookies

If you want to manage or disable cookie settings, you can do so in your browser. This option can be found in the cookies/ tracking features placement menu depending on the browser toolbar. Usually, you can use the Tools > Preferences > Privacy settings to set which tracking features you enable/disable on your computer.

Principles of data processing

  • The Data Controller manages the Personal Data by the principles in good faith, fairness, and transparency, as well as the applicable legislation and the provisions of this Brochure.
  • The Data Controller uses the Personal Data that are indispensable for the use of the Services by the consent of the User concerned and solely in compliance with the purpose limitation.
  • The Data Controller processes Personal Data only for the purpose specified in this Brochure and the relevant legislation. The scope of the Personal Data processed is proportionate to the purpose of data processing and cannot be expanded (data minimization).
  • The Personal Data of a person who has not reached the age of 18 are not processed by MiniCRM as a business software provider.
  • The Data Controller does not transfer the Personal Data it processes to any third parties other than the Data Processors specified in the present Brochure, and, in some cases referred to in this Brochure, the External Service Providers. Except as provided in this clause, the use of the data in a statistically aggregated form, that cannot contain any other data suitable for identifying the User concerned, shall not constitute Data Processing or data transfer.
  • In certain cases, including official court or police inquiries, legal proceedings against copyright, property or other breaches, or their reasonable suspicion, the violation of Data Controller’s rights, the jeopardising of the provision of Services, etc., the Data Controller makes accessible to third parties the available Personal Data of the User concerned.
  • The Data Controller’s System may collect data on the activity of Users that cannot be combined with other data provided by Users during registration, nor with any other data generated by the use of other websites or services.
  • The Data Controller is responsible for the rectification, limitation or deletion of the Personal Data it processes and on notifying the affected User, and those to whom the Personal Data were previously transferred for the Data Processing
  • Notification is not required if it does not violate the rightful interest of the data subject in light of the purpose of Data Processing.
  • The Data Controller ensures the security of Personal Data, takes the technical and organizational measures and establishes the procedural rules that ensure that the recorded, stored, or processed data are protected or prevented from being accidentally lost, or unlawfully destructed, accessed to, used, altered or disclosed. The Data Controller requests all third parties to whom Personal Data is transmitted to comply with this obligation.
  • Given the relevant provisions of the GDPR, the Data Controller is not obliged to designate a Data Protection Officer.
  • The Data Controller is responsible for compliance with the principles.

Confidential data processing

MiniCRM processes recorded data confidentially doing everything to ensure the security of the data and uses them to ensure the proper functioning of the Website. This includes, inter alia, sending email and SMS to you and the contact details you provided, in which case the message will be sent through that service provider.

MiniCRM will never sell or loan your personal information to a third party for marketing purposes. By a summons, court decision or in the context of civil proceedings, MiniCRM may, if necessary, transfer your personal data and other relevant information.

Also, MiniCRM can assure or exercise its statutory rights and defend itself against legal actions.

For the safe processing of data, MiniCRM selects the IT tools used to process the data so that, during the operation, the data processed can be accessed only by MiniCRM as authorised for this purpose, the data credibility be preserved, no alteration of the recorded data occur outside the recording procedure, the recorded data be protected from unlawful access.

The data processed by MiniCRM may be transferred when requested by an authority or court, or by law, whereas MiniCRM will notify its users of this fact in its newsletter if this is not in conflict with the official or court request, or the related legal requirement.

Access of our staff to personal data

For our staff, we only provide the access to strictly necessary to work with the personal data processed by us. We log every access, and we ensure only strictly restricted access to the data saver feature.

Our salespersons, consultants, client support staff and developers do not even see the personal data recorded in your own MiniCRM system. If you provide access to your system to our colleague through the “Invite a Consultant” feature, he or she will only see your settings, not your data.

If because of integration development or debugging we reload the system to a test or development environment, it can only retrieve data through such a channel where data in a production environment are destroyed during the backup. Thus, in test and development environments, randomly generated characters can be found in the place of personal data (e.g., name, email, phone number, address) in the system.

Data backups are made using two-key encryption. Thus, even the employees who have access to the data backup file do not access the saved data in the absence of an “offline stored” key required for decoding.

Only the narrowest group of people required to operate production servers has access to the servers with live data. Every access is strictly logged after three-factor authentication: VPN key, SSH key, user password.

Data security

Data security is a complex issue in case of systems processing sensitive business data. Internal rules and processes of MiniCRM ensure that data security and privacy requirements are met in all areas:

  • Data security
  • Network security
  • Data separation
  • Contact
  • Data backup, disaster prevention
  • Identification and access control
  • Security-conscious software development

All data stored in the MiniCRM System are stored physically in the territory of the European Union or a country that GDPR considers equivalent in the context of privacy and are subject to the EU privacy directives.

When external integrations are turned on (e.g., Google Calendar), the data concerned may get outside the EU territory, so when turning on these integrations, the system will require prior consent from users.

Technology

MiniCRM regularly updates all applied software for the protection from known platform attacks at all levels (Tools used by employees, Server operating system, Virtualization layer, Guest operating system, application).

Our servers are located in one of Europe’s most secure data centers (Dataplex/Magyar Telekom). We use a redundant and scalable infrastructure that does not have any point/device which failure would cause a loss of service.

Encrypted data backups are made automatically on a daily basis and transferred to other data centers to ensure data recovery in case of a disaster.

We adopt accepted industry solutions such as the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM).

Access protection

Physical access to infrastructure is very limited. In each case, proper identification is required.

Since its inception, the MiniCRM System has been built as a multi-user service; the entire platform and infrastructure provide logical separation of data. The use of external identification services (Single-Sign-On) is supported (Google Account, OpenID).

Network security

Multiple level firewall protection separates data storage servers from the outside world. Internet connectivity is provided only by dedicated load balancing servers. Application servers and data storage servers operate in internal network separated from each other, a connection between them is provided via an intermediate firewall/load balancing layer.

Production/test/intergration test/development environment operate in a separate network.

Multilevel intrusion attack alert and phishing attack alert protect the stored data. Unused services, protocols, and software become removed. All our servers are built on a minimal basis; only the required software is installed.

We control the effectiveness of our processes and internal rules by external security audits.

Availability

The availability of business applications is critical. Our infrastructure, built with dozens of quality servers, ensures that the failure of any component does not lead to a complete service failure.

Container-based architecture is not only conducive to security; individual services can be automatically migrated between servers, providing continuous availability and balancing the different loads of different periods.

The MiniCRM contract guarantees at least 99.9% availability. The planned availability of the infrastructure used is 99.99% per month. Independent external monitoring service measures the availability between 99.98% and 99.99% on a monthly basis, including any downtime during pre-announced night-time maintenance as a service failure.

Data backup and disaster prevention

All data recorded in the MiniCRM System are mirrored on multiple media and multiple servers in almost real-time. Distributed, redundant data storage ensures that failure of any of the hardware devices does not lead to data loss.

Automatic data backup is made daily and transferred in encrypted form to a data center outside of Hungary.

Every day backup is automatically tested. Databases are loaded from backup to the dedicated server, and a thorough, multi-step process runs through restored systems. The testing system collects the logs and analyzes the expected test results. It sends a daily report to the operating team.

Identification and access control

All and any access is only possible through specified user accounts to ensure traceability.

Strong passwords protect user accounts, the rules found in the app provides password strengths. Each password is stored as a highly encrypted, one-way “salted” hash value.

The users with administrator privileges can manage user accounts in the client system.

Accounts are protected against incorrect password attempts by an automated blocking system that locks out the IP address and user account after several incorrect attempts.

Two-factor identification

Users can turn on two-factor authentication. In this case, after login with a valid email address and a password from a new device, the MiniCRM System will ask for an additional security code. This can be either SMS or TOTP (Google Authenticator) code.

Security-conscious software development

Security is not only a subsequent idea; it is an integral part of our development processes. New developers are engaged in detailed training to understand data security and privacy issues adequately.

There are several layers of application design, and the platform has built-in protection against the most commonly encountered attack interfaces/modes.

After each change, automatically running tests, automated integration tests, and static code analysis tools monitor the quality.

Security-sensitive code parts are monitored separately, and changes to these parts can be added to the next version after compulsory code review.

Reliability

In addition to data security and availability, it is of utmost importance that users rely on the solution as a registration system. Based both on objective and subjective considerations.

A Registration System is required to be a credible source of the data elements and information it processes. It should be possible to track what, by whom and when was recorded, modified or placed to recycle bin.

The rules determined in the development stage ensure the validity of the data and the integrity of the relationships between interrelated data.

Up-to-date technology

Without a separate upgrade/follow-up/development fee, we always provide a system supporting current technologies.

We continuously update not only the software running on our servers but also the “building blocks” of the framework system seen by the users. This way, we ensure that once delivered solutions will work during many years with the then current browser/notebook/mobile device combinations.

Automatically scales itself

The MiniCRM System is fast not just at launch, but with a dozen of users and some thousand records. As the data accumulate and the number of users increases, the platform automatically allocates more resources always to meet the needs.

Duration of data processing

In compliance with the requirements of GDPR, we process your data with predetermined limitation period for each group of data processed.
