🔷 CRM
🔹 Unified Database. By using Hookfish CRM with other parts of the Subscription Service, you understand that all Contact Information will be stored in a unified database of Contacts associated with your subscription, and that all workflows you use will pull from this unified list of Contacts. While there’s no charge for Contacts in Hookfish, if you subscribe to our Full-Service Marketing Hookfish Products, you will be charged for Contacts as part of your fee for those products, even if they are added through Hookfish and whether or not there is an email address associated with a Contact. If a Contact is imported from Hookfish into our Full-Service Marketing Hookfish Products without an associated email address, it cannot be automatically de-duplicated so may result in duplications within your Hookfish account.
🔹 Outbound Calling via Hookfish.in. We do not guarantee the availability of our Hookfish outbound calling feature in any or all geographical areas. If you are interested in obtaining a list of countries to which we currently offer outbound calling, please contact our Support team. We may update this list at any time without notice to you. We may also disable your ability, or charge you a fee, to make calls to certain countries if we choose to, even if we generally offer outbound calling to these countries. One reason we may do this is if you are making a disproportionate or excessive number of calls to these countries.
🔷 Facebook and Instagram
🔹 Facebook Ads
🔹 If you share any data from your Hookfish Account with Facebook, as part of our Ads integration, Facebook’s ad terms will apply: https://www.facebook.com/legal/self_service_ads_terms. As part of the integration, the Subscription Service receives user token with permissions on ad accounts and pages. The Subscription Service can view but does not store all the ad accounts and pages that you have permission for. Facebook will share with the Subscription Service: settings details (e.g., name, budget, bid strategy, creative) and performance metrics (impressions, clicks, etc.) for all campaigns, ad sets, and ads in the ad accounts the user has “connected” to the Subscription Service. If you choose to sync leads, the Subscription Service will receive webhook updates when a new lead form submission occurs on a page a user has connected to your account. The Subscription Service will pull all lead submissions for Pages the user has connected. The Subscription Service will log these submissions as form submissions in the CRM.
🔹 Facebook and Instagram :
🔹 If you choose to connect your Facebook and/or Instagram account with our Social Tool (subject to your product tier), as part of posting to Facebook and/or Instagram through the Subscription Service, the Hookfish platform will store your posts and publish only at the time you schedule. Additionally, the Subscription Service will add tracking code to any post URL generated through the Hookfish Platform, solely for the purpose of tracking clicks. The Subscription Service stores comments and replies on your posts, as well as analytics for the performance of your posts.
🔹 Ad Network Pixel and Tags :
🔹 The Subscription Service will receive the selected ad network (for all Ad Network) pixel/tag identification as part of connecting you account to that network. The Subscription Service will automatically place this pixel/tag on the user’s website pages where hookfish tracking code is present. This pixel/tag sends and tracks information about your website visitors back to the network, enabling conversion tracking and website audience creation.
