In the case of using the Trees under Control app, we process personal data according to the position in which you act, as follows:
We only use your personal data for purposes related to the relationship, the performance of our obligations under the contract, the provision of contractual communication and the provision of our services. Thus, we process personal data on the basis of the performance of contractual obligations within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1(b) of the GDPR.
We are also required to keep accounting records and comply with other legal obligations (e.g. taxes, etc.). In this case, we process your personal data on the basis of fulfilling legal obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
In addition to the purposes mentioned above, we will also process your personal data for the purpose of possible litigation and debt recovery, whereby this processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1(f) of the GDPR. We may also use technical information based on the legitimate interest of ensuring the functionality and quality of our services.
If you register on our website and give us your consent, we use your email address for the purpose of sending you commercial communications. The legal basis for this processing is therefore your consent pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1(a) of the GDPR. In every commercial communication we send you, you will find an option to unsubscribe and opt-out of receiving further commercial communications. As part of the newsletter, we also send information provided by the CSOP Arborist Academy, especially invitations to their training courses or their information about the field of arboriculture.
However, we do not need your consent to send you information that is related to the use of the services we provide, which is usually technical information or confirmation emails; these emails are again sent on the basis of the performance of contractual obligations within the meaning of Article 6 paragraph 1(b) of the GDPR.
