Application Security and Data Security

  • What information is collected by LeadFormix?
    • LeadFormix DOES NOT collect sensitive or private information such as logins, passwords, and credit card information.
    • LeadFormix collects the following types of information:
      • Referring website and search terms used by the visitor to arrive at the website
      • Pages visited by the visitor and anchor text clicked on by the visitor
      • Contact Us forms filled by the visitor
      • IP address of the visitor
  • Is the contact information uploaded by the customer into LeadFormix kept private?
    • Yes. LeadFormix does not sell or make available customer contact information or contact information stored in LeadFormix to third parties. LeadFormix is similar to an email application such as Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook which allows our customers to manage contact information and lead information. This information is private.
    • LeadFormix employee access to customer accounts is restricted to Technical Operations and Customer Services staff on a need-to-know basis to troubleshoot or remediate customer-reported issues.
  • What is the Password policy for LeadFormix Application?
    • When a new user is signed in the application randomly assigns a new password.
    • The user on receiving the same can change it at his end by logging in into the application.
    • The Password guidelines permit the user to create a password with a minimum of six Alphabet characters + one Numerical + one Special character
    • Passwords created are never transmitted or stored in their original form, so third parties cannot compromise them. Additionally, in those cases where LeadFormix allows linking to third party on-demand systems, customer authentication information to those systems is stored in encrypted form, with the encryption keys stored separately and in an access-limited way.
  • How is customer data protected from unauthorized access?
    • All data access is gated through Authentication and Authorization checks.
    • User authentication is performed using username + password combination. Authorization is checked using ACLs (Access Control Lists) implemented in the backend servers. LeadFormix service is built upon a scalable multi-tenant SaaS (Software as a Service) model.
