When you use Shared Email Templates, we do all we can to protect your data. We adhere to the zero-trust and privacy-by-design principles. As a result, the files you attach and the images you insert get to your emails directly from your Microsoft 365 storage without any servers involved, both ours and third-party ones. But in today's world of cyber insecurity, who can blame you for feeling unsafe, especially when a software product is new to you? If you wonder whether you can get peace of mind without paying extra, you're on the right help page :)
Simple steps to make your content 200% secure
To protect your data in the best possible way when using Shared Email Templates, follow these simple steps:
-
Sign up with Microsoft work or school account credentials. In this case, your identity and credentials are protected by Microsoft as an identity provider.
-
Encrypt teams. We don't store your team passwords on our end. By using strong team passwords, you enable true end-to-end encryption. You pass your team password to your teammates yourself, via channels you trust, and it's only you and your team who know it.
-
Back up templates regularly in .xml format. With .xml format, you can easily restore your templates or transfer them to another team or account.
-
Back up templates regularly in .zip format. With .zip format, you get all your templates in a reusable form, HTML, that you can open in Word, in any browser, or even in a plain text editor. It means that you don't have to rely solely on our add-in for your templates, you're independent, and you can stop using the add-in at any time. You're always free to go.
-
Disable My Templates and Mail Merge by hiding them from users.
-
Use Azure account properties instead of user profile properties.
-
Attach images and files from shared OneDrive or SharePoint folders with the managed access control enabled. In this way, you'll control access to your files, including reading and changing them.
-
Grant Editor permissions only to those users who create templates.
-
Limit the use of templates to selected accounts or domains with the DisableIf macro.
That's all :)
