ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

If Contact Data is lost within the Services, users have no recourse to ActiveCampaign as a backup source, because users bear sole responsibility for independent backup.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

You must maintain your own Contact Data backups outside of and entirely independent from ActiveCampaign's Services.
