Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, information generated through your use of the service, and in some cases, information from third parties.
Account Information
When you register, we collect your name, work email address, firm name, and a hashed password. We do not store plaintext passwords.
Firm and Client Data
To provide our service, you will upload documents, client records, and other data (“Firm Data”). This data belongs exclusively to your firm. We access it only to deliver and support the service.
Usage Data
We collect anonymized telemetry — page views, feature usage counts, error rates — to improve reliability. This data cannot be linked to individual users or clients.
Payment Information
Billing is handled by our PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We store only a payment method token and the last four digits of your card. Full card numbers never touch our servers.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information strictly to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Axos CRM service
- Process your subscription and billing
- Send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, security alerts)
- Respond to support requests and communications
- Enforce our Terms of Service and prevent abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use your Firm Data or your clients' personal information for advertising, profiling, product training, or any purpose other than delivering the service you paid for.
Data Retention
Tax documents and associated records are retained for a minimum of 7 years from upload to satisfy IRS record-keeping requirements (IRC § 6001). You may request earlier deletion of personal data outside the mandatory retention window subject to our Right to Erasure process.
Account information is retained for the duration of your subscription and for up to 90 days after termination to allow for account recovery. Anonymized aggregated usage statistics are retained indefinitely.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Rectification — Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Erasure — Request deletion of personal data outside mandatory retention windows
- Portability — Receive your data in a machine-readable format
- Objection — Object to processing in certain circumstances
- Restriction — Request we limit how we process your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@axoscrm.com. We will respond within 30 days.
Security Measures
We implement industry-leading technical and organizational measures to protect your data:
- AES-256-GCM encryption for all data at rest
- TLS 1.3 for all data in transit, with HSTS enforced
- Encryption keys isolated per tenant and rotated on a scheduled cycle
- SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, audited annually
- Role-based access control with complete audit logging
- Annual third-party penetration testing
- 24/7 security monitoring with a documented incident response plan
In the event of a data breach affecting personal data, we will notify affected customers within 72 hours as required by GDPR Article 33 and applicable US state breach notification laws.
International Transfers
Axos CRM operates infrastructure in the United States. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions, your data may be transferred to and processed in the US.
We ensure such transfers comply with applicable law through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms. Enterprise customers may request geographic data residency restrictions.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
A history of previous policy versions is available upon request.
