- Full contact and lead records
- Sales pipeline data (opportunities, deal stages)
- Email correspondence with customers and prospects
- Notes, tags and custom properties
- Activity history (calls, meetings, tasks)
Data Subjects
Who is affected by the processing?
Under Art. 30 GDPR, you must document the categories of data subjects per processing activity. In typical use, these include:
- All contacts, leads and customers
- Employees with CRM access
Concrete Impact
What does this mean in practice?
Your entire CRM (all contacts, all deals, all email correspondence) is stored with a provider under US law. This is the single largest data protection lever in a B2B stack.
Note: This is a risk description, not a specific incident. Whether access occurred in your case depends on many factors. What can be documented: the risk must be named in your TIA and mitigated with additional measures.
