1. Our Services

Description of Service

Soulful CRM is a cloud-based CRM platform for managing client information, tracking sessions, generating AI-assisted summaries, accepting direct client bookings, sending practitioner-to-client emails and SMS messages, automating practice-related communications, and connecting third-party services via inbound and outbound webhook integrations. The Service is intended for organizational, administrative, and informational purposes only. Soulful CRM does not provide medical, legal, or licensed professional services.

Subscription Tiers and Feature Access

Soulful CRM offers a free tier and paid subscription tiers. The free tier permits management of up to 30 clients and includes session logging and basic client notes. AI features — including AI session recaps, AI client summaries, follow-up suggestions, and next session ideas — are available exclusively on paid plans. The practitioner client email feature, including the ability to send emails to clients and configure automated email triggers, is available on paid plans only. Feature availability is enforced at the server level and may change with notice.

No Medical Use / Protected Health Information

Soulful CRM is not designed, certified, or approved for the storage, management, or processing of Protected Health Information (PHI) as defined under HIPAA, or for any use subject to HIPAA. Users agree not to upload, store, or transmit any PHI or sensitive medical records through the Service. While practitioners may enter general wellness session notes, these notes must not include clinical diagnoses, medical records, or other content that constitutes PHI. Soulful CRM disclaims all liability for any such use of the platform.

AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate session recaps, client summaries, follow-up suggestions, and related outputs based on notes you provide. These AI-generated outputs are provided for informational and organizational purposes only. They may not be accurate, complete, or suitable for your specific situation. All AI-generated content should be reviewed by you before use or sharing. Soulful CRM assumes no liability for decisions made based on AI-generated outputs.

AI outputs are not used to make automated decisions with legal or significant effect on you or your clients. They are informational tools displayed to you for your discretionary review and use only.

Direct Booking Feature

Soulful CRM provides practitioners with an optional public booking page that allows clients to schedule sessions directly. By enabling this feature, practitioners acknowledge that their booking page is publicly accessible and that client information submitted through bookings — including name, email address, phone number, and session notes — will be stored within their Soulful CRM account.

Practitioners are solely responsible for managing their availability, honoring bookings made through the platform, and communicating with clients regarding any changes or cancellations. Soulful CRM does not send automated booking confirmation emails by default. Where SMS notifications are enabled by the practitioner, a single confirmation SMS may be sent to the client's provided phone number. Soulful CRM bears no responsibility for missed sessions or scheduling disputes.

Client data submitted through the booking form is subject to the practitioner's own privacy obligations toward their clients. Practitioners are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate consent to collect and store client information in accordance with applicable laws.

Practitioner Client Email Feature

Paid plan subscribers may use Soulful CRM to send emails directly to their clients from within the platform. These emails are sent from hello@soulfulcrm.com on behalf of the practitioner, with the practitioner's account email address set as the reply-to address. Clients who reply to these emails will reach the practitioner directly.

Practitioners may create reusable email templates and configure automated email triggers that fire when specific events occur — such as a client being added, a session being logged, or an appointment being booked. These triggers fire only for the practitioner's own clients and only when the client has an email address on file.

By using the client email feature, practitioners represent and warrant that:

  • They have obtained appropriate consent from clients to receive emails
  • All emails sent comply with applicable anti-spam and email marketing laws, including the CAN-SPAM Act and, where applicable, GDPR and CASL
  • They will not use the feature to send unsolicited, harassing, or unlawful communications
  • Email content does not infringe third-party intellectual property rights
  • They will honor any unsubscribe or opt-out request made by a client promptly and in compliance with applicable law

Soulful CRM reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the client email feature for any user found to be in violation of these requirements or applicable law. Practitioners are solely liable for the content of emails they send through the platform.

SMS Notification Feature

Practitioners may optionally enable SMS booking confirmation messages sent to clients via Twilio. By enabling this feature, practitioners represent and warrant that:

  • They have obtained appropriate consent from clients to receive SMS messages, in compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and any other applicable telecommunications regulations
  • They will not use this feature to send unsolicited, harassing, or marketing SMS messages
  • Any phone numbers collected through the booking page are used solely for booking confirmation purposes

Practitioners who use their own Twilio credentials are solely responsible for their Twilio account, associated billing, and compliance with Twilio's terms of service and applicable law. Soulful CRM bears no liability for SMS delivery failures, carrier fees, or regulatory violations arising from a practitioner's use of the SMS feature.

Webhook Integration Feature

Soulful CRM provides inbound and outbound webhook integration capabilities that allow practitioners to connect third-party services such as Zapier and Squarespace.

Inbound webhooks allow external services to submit client intake data directly to your Soulful CRM account via a secured endpoint authenticated with a unique per-user secret token. By enabling inbound webhooks, practitioners acknowledge that data submitted via this endpoint will be stored in their account as client and session records, and that they are responsible for ensuring any third-party service sending data to their endpoint does so with appropriate client consent.

Outbound webhooks allow Soulful CRM to transmit event data — including client information, session metadata, booking confirmations, and billing events — to a URL configured by the practitioner. By enabling outbound webhooks, practitioners acknowledge that client and billing data will be transmitted to the configured endpoint. Practitioners are solely responsible for the security, privacy compliance, and appropriate use of any third-party service they connect via outbound webhooks. Soulful CRM is not liable for data breaches, misuse, or regulatory violations arising from a practitioner's outbound webhook configuration.

Webhook secrets must be kept confidential. Practitioners should revoke and regenerate their webhook secret immediately if they believe it has been compromised. Soulful CRM reserves the right to disable webhook access for any account found to be misusing these features.

System Email Automation and Communications

Soulful CRM includes a system-level automated email engine that sends transactional and onboarding-related emails to registered users (practitioners) based on account activity, inactivity, or defined time delays. These system emails are sent from hello@soulfulcrm.com using Resend, a third-party email delivery provider.

By creating an account, you consent to receiving onboarding, product update, and account-related emails from Soulful CRM. This includes the following behavioral trigger emails sent during your trial period based on your onboarding progress:

  • A welcome email sent immediately upon account creation
  • A guidance email sent approximately 24 hours after signup if no client has been added yet
  • A guidance email sent approximately 48 hours after a first client is added if no session has been logged yet
  • A guidance email sent approximately 24 hours after a first session is logged if the AI recap feature has not yet been used
  • A re-engagement email sent approximately 5 days after signup if the AI recap feature has not been used
  • A trial expiration notice sent approximately 2 days before your 14-day trial expires if you have not yet upgraded

Each of these emails is sent at most once per user. Every system email includes a one-click unsubscribe link in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act. You may opt out of non-essential automated communications at any time by clicking that link — no login required. Strictly transactional emails (password reset, billing notifications) cannot be opted out of as they are necessary to operate your account.

Soulful CRM may track whether system emails are opened using a standard tracking pixel. This data is used solely to measure the effectiveness of our communications and improve the product. It is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Onboarding and Activity Tracking

Soulful CRM tracks certain in-app events — such as creating a client, logging a session, or generating an AI recap — for the purpose of personalizing your onboarding experience and delivering relevant guidance. Specifically, eight named milestone events are recorded in our database at most once per user. These same events are also transmitted server-side to PostHog, our product analytics provider, to measure activation rates and improve the onboarding experience. This data is used internally and is never sold or shared for advertising. You may request deletion of this data at any time by deleting your account or contacting us directly. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

In addition, general ongoing activity events — such as creating a client, logging a session, generating an AI recap, or upgrading your subscription — are tracked to power the automated email trigger system described in this section. A full description of events collected, their purpose, and retention periods is available in our Privacy Policy at soulfulcrm.com/privacy.

You may request deletion of all onboarding event data at any time by deleting your account or contacting us at hello@soulfulcrm.com.

User Responsibility for Data

Users are solely responsible for all data, content, and information they input, upload, or store within the Service, including all client email content, SMS message configurations, webhook payloads, and automated trigger configurations. Users agree not to submit any content that is unlawful, harmful, confidential without authorization, or in violation of any applicable regulations or third-party rights. Soulful CRM does not actively monitor user content and disclaims responsibility for user-submitted data.

Account Termination and Data Deletion

Users may request deletion of their account and associated data at any time through the account settings page. Upon account deletion, Soulful CRM will take reasonable steps to delete user data from active systems within a commercially reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required for legal, security, or operational purposes. Certain residual data may remain in backups for up to 90 days before being permanently deleted.

2. Data Processing — Practitioner as Controller

When you use Soulful CRM to store, manage, and process personal information about your own clients — including names, contact details, session notes, booking records, webhook intake submissions, SMS communications, and email communications — you are acting as the data controller for that information. Soulful CRM acts as the data processor, processing your clients' personal information only on your instruction and only as necessary to provide the Service.

As the data controller, you agree to:

  • Have a lawful basis for collecting, storing, and processing your clients' personal information
  • Inform your clients that their personal information is being stored and managed in a third-party CRM system
  • Obtain appropriate consent before emailing or sending SMS messages to clients through the platform
  • Ensure that any third-party services you connect via inbound or outbound webhooks handle client data in compliance with applicable privacy law
  • Honor your clients' requests to access, correct, or delete their personal information in a timely manner
  • Comply with all applicable privacy and data protection laws in your jurisdiction and your clients' jurisdictions, including but not limited to the CCPA/CPRA, CAN-SPAM, TCPA, and, where applicable, GDPR
  • Not store PHI or other data categories for which you do not have a valid legal basis or appropriate safeguards

Soulful CRM processes client data entered by practitioners only as instructed through use of the Service features. We do not use your clients' data for any independent commercial purpose and do not share it beyond the subprocessors identified in our Privacy Policy who are necessary to deliver the Service.

Subprocessors involved in data processing include: Supabase (database storage), Vercel (hosting), Resend (email delivery), Twilio (SMS delivery), OpenRouter / Anthropic / OpenAI / Mistral (AI recap generation, when triggered by you), and Stripe (payment processing). A current list of subprocessors and their roles is maintained in our Privacy Policy at soulfulcrm.com/privacy.

You indemnify Soulful CRM against any claim, liability, or regulatory action arising from your failure to meet your obligations as data controller, including claims brought by your clients regarding their personal information, and any regulatory action arising from your use of the webhook, SMS, or email features.

3. Intellectual Property Rights

We own or are the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, text, and graphics (collectively, the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos (the "Marks").

Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Services solely for your internal business purposes. Any breach of these Intellectual Property Rights will constitute a material breach and your right to use the Services will terminate immediately.
