Most CRMs, and Nimble CRM is no exception, have some levels of privacy controls. I have always been of the opinion that CRM works best as a transparent and open database. Ideally, CRM is not just for salespeople. A unified database allows sales, marketing, and customer service departments to care for your clients.
