Does ClickDimensions Store Any of My Data?
ClickDimensions does not directly access or copy your CRM database. Your data is maintained safely and securely in your database. However, limited amounts of data will be submitted through our web services. The specific data elements submitted and then processed by ClickDimensions depends on which tools you use and what fields you choose to include in your emails, surveys, forms and profile management page.
Is the communication between ClickDimensions and my CRM secure?
Yes. If you register your CRM using an address that starts with HTTPS, then our connection to your CRM will always be securely encrypted using the SSL certificate you've installed on your CRM website (or the one used by Microsoft for CRM Online). Note that self-signed SSL certificates are not supported.
How does ClickDimensions connect to my CRM?
ClickDimensions communicates with your CRM using only Microsoft-documented methods to connect to CRM's web services. ClickDimensions does not communicate or connect to SQL Server, Active Directory, or any other server or network applications. All of our functionality is delivered through Microsoft's SDK (Software Development Kit) methods for Dynamics CRM. Microsoft has also designated the ClickDimensions solution as Certified for Microsoft Dynamics (CfMD). For detailed information on ClickDimensions connectivity, read here.
Who has access to ClickDimensions servers?
ClickDimensions' application is entirely hosted in Microsoft's Windows Azure system in Microsoft data centers. As such, physical access to the servers and network resources that host the ClickDimensions application is restricted to Microsoft personnel. ClickDimensions personnel do not have physical access to these resources. See Microsoft's Windows Azure Trust Center for more information. Remote access to the production environment is restricted to the ClickDimensions CTO. The ClickDimensions application production environment is a separate network from ClickDimensions' internal operations network. Therefore, ClickDimensions employees, such as developers and technical support individuals, do not have access to the ClickDimensions production application.

At any time after installing ClickDimensions, you can change the password our system uses from within CRM by clicking on Settings > ClickDimensions Settings > Service Credentials. (Note that you must update it here prior to actually changing the password for the user.) See here for more.
What are the IP addresses of ClickDimensions' service in Azure?
