Privacy Policy

Last Updated: This privacy policy describes how Arborsist collects, uses, and protects information when you use our tree management and issue reporting system.

Information We Collect

Arborsist collects the following types of information to provide and improve our tree management services:

Email Address

When you submit a tree issue report, we collect your email address. This is used to contact you regarding your report, ask follow-up questions if needed, and notify you when the reported issue has been resolved. Your email address is stored securely and is only accessible to authorized personnel who need it to manage tree safety issues.

Photographs of Trees

When you submit a report, you may include photographs of trees. These photographs are used to assess the condition of trees, identify safety concerns, and document issues for resolution. Photographs are stored securely and are associated with the specific tree record and your report. They may be shared with authorized workers and office staff who are responsible for addressing tree safety issues.

Tree Locations

Arborsist collects and stores the geographic location (GPS coordinates) of trees that are registered in the system. This information is essential for identifying and locating specific trees, managing tree inventories, and responding to reported issues. Tree location data is used solely for tree management and safety purposes.

Issue Descriptions

When you submit a report, you provide a written description of the issue or concern. This information is used by office staff and workers to understand and address tree-related safety concerns. Issue descriptions are stored with your report and may be reviewed by authorized personnel.

All information collected by Arborsist is used exclusively for the purpose of managing tree safety and maintaining tree inventories. Specifically:

• Email addresses are used to contact reporters about their submissions and to provide updates on issue resolution.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
