FAQ
Frequently asked questions

Existing customers switch on crisis tracking immediately. For new customers we run an accelerated onboarding; contact us and we will tell you honestly what is possible in your timeframe.

Yes. Agencies run isolated workspaces per client with role-based access. See our agencies page.
What happens to the data after the crisis?
