Sales Insights standard features

For specific privacy information about Sales insights standard features, refer to the paragraphs below.

By enabling the Relationship Assistant feature, limited exchange data, which includes a sender's name and email address as well as excerpts of the email body, are retrieved (but are not stored in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement), for the purpose of showing relevant insights of your email. Further, the Relationship Assistant feature can be configured to retrieve information with regards to news, financials, and flight information, by sending out requests to external components such as MSN Money and Bing (which are not considered Microsoft Dynamics 365 Core Services). An administrator can enable and disable the Relationship Assistant feature by navigating to Settings > Intelligence Configuration, clicking the Relationship Assistant tab, and then making the appropriate selection.

The external components involved with Relationship Assistant functionality are detailed in the following sections.

Bing

Relationship Assistant uses Bing to search for relevant news to display to a user by using the account names from that user’s Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement data.

MSN Money

Relationship Assistant uses MSN Money to show relevant stock information to a user by using the account ticker symbol from that user’s Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement data.

By enabling Email Engagement, a Embedded intelligence feature, when an email marked with the Follow setting is sent from Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement, information about interactions with the email by recipients will be collected and stored in Azure for the purposes of computing recipient activity KPIs and interactions on “followed” emails.

A system administrator enables Email Engagement by provisioning the feature from the Email Engagement tab within Embedded intelligence. Administrators can subsequently disable Email Engagement in the organization from the Intelligence Configuration node, under Settings.

When the feature has been disabled, emails sent from Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement cannot be followed, either from the user interface or programmatically. Also, recipient interaction data will no longer be collected on sent emails that were marked with the Follow setting. Any data previously collected will remain in Azure and will be available again if the feature is re-enabled in the organization. Data is retained for 90 days after customers terminate their subscription with Microsoft. Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement users can also disable the Embedded intelligence - Email Engagement functionality on a per Contact or per Lead basis by changing the Follow Email setting under Contact Preferences.

Azure components and services that are involved with Email Engagement functionality are detailed below.

Note: For more information about additional Azure service offerings, see the Microsoft Azure Trust Center.

Azure Storage Account

The Email Engagement feature uses Azure Storage Account to temporarily store email interaction blobs.

By enabling the Auto Capture feature, Exchange data is retrieved by Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement, but not stored, to show email activity to the signed-in user. Users can explicitly 'track' these emails to copy Exchange emails into Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement as an Email Activity, to be shared with the appropriate users as configured by Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement permissions.

An administrator enables and disables the Auto Capture feature by navigating to Settings > Intelligence Configuration, clicking the Auto Capture tab, and then making the appropriate selection. A user can also disable the Auto Capture feature on the Email tab within Personal Options, by changing Show email not tracked in Dynamics 365 in the Activities list to No.

Data protection

Data as it is in transit between user devices and the Microsoft datacenters are secured. Connections established between customers and Microsoft datacenters are encrypted, and all public endpoints are secured using industry-standard TLS. TLS effectively establishes a security-enhanced browser to server connection to help ensure data confidentiality and integrity between desktops and datacenters. API access from the customer endpoint to the server is also similarly protected. Currently, TLS 1.2 (or higher) is required for accessing the server endpoints.

All the data stored as part of sales insights are encrypted using Microsoft encryption keys.
