Introduction

The Campus Tree is a networking & communication company.

We understand that you are aware of and care about your own personal privacy interests, and

we take that seriously. This Privacy Notice describes the Campus Tree’s policies and practices

regarding its collection and use of your personal data, and sets forth your privacy rights. We

recognize that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to time

update this Privacy Notice as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy

policies.

Campus Tree’s personal data policies or practices. If you would like to exercise your privacy

How we collect and use (process) your personal information

Campus Tree collects personal information about its website visitors and customers. With a few

exceptions, this information is generally limited to:

● Name

● Email

● Event Interests

● Contact List

● Demographical Information


 

We use this information to provide prospects and customers with services.

We do not sell personal information to anyone and only share it with third parties who are

facilitating the delivery of our services. For example, we only collect user's contacts when user's opt-in during registration, specifically for allowing the user to send a friend request to the contacts they choose. This information is not stored or collected.

From time to time, Campus Tree receives personal information about individuals from third

parties. Typically, information collected from third parties will include further details on your

employer or industry. We may also collect your personal data from a third party website (e.g.

LinkedIn).

 

Use of the Campus Tree Website

As is true of most other websites, Campus Tree’s website collects certain information

automatically and stores it in log files. The information may include internet protocol (IP)

addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the

internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of Campus

Tree’s website, including a history of the pages you view. We use this information to help us

design our site to better suit our users’ needs. We may also use your IP address to help

diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website, analyze trends, track visitor

movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor

preferences.

Campus Tree has a legitimate interest in understanding how members, customers and potential

customers use its website. This assists Campus Tree with providing more relevant products and

services, with communicating value to our sponsors and corporate members, and with

providing appropriate staffing to meet member and customer needs.

 

Sharing information with third parties

The personal information Campus Tree collects from you is stored in one or more databases

hosted by third parties located in the United States. These third parties do not use or have

access to your personal information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval. On

occasion, Campus Tree engages third parties to send information to you, including information

about our products, services, and events.

A list of our third party sub processors can be found here:

Amazon Web Services

Secureframe

 

We do not otherwise reveal your personal data to non-Campus Tree persons or businesses for

their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) it’s in connection with Campus

Tree-hosted and Campus Tree co-sponsored conferences as described above; (3) the

information is provided to comply with the law (for example, compelled by law enforcement to

comply with a search warrant, subpoena, or court order), enforce an agreement we have with

you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our

employees or others; (4) the information is provided to our agents, vendors or service providers

who perform functions on our behalf; (5) to address emergencies or acts of God; or (6) to

address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf. We

may also gather aggregated data about our services and website visitors and disclose the results

of such aggregated (but not personally identifiable) information to our partners, service

providers, advertisers, and/or other third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

The Campus Tree website connects with third party services such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter

and others. If you choose to share information from the Campus Tree website through these

services, you should review the privacy policy of that service. If you are a member of a third

party service, the aforementioned connections may allow that service to connect your visit to

our site to your personal data.

 

Transferring personal data to the U.S.

Campus Tree has its headquarters in the United States. Information we collect about you will be

processed in the United States. By using Campus Tree’s services, you acknowledge that your

personal information will be processed in the United States. The United States has not sought

nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR.

Pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR, Campus Tree is providing for appropriate safeguards by

entering binding, standard data protection clauses, enforceable by data subjects in the EEA and

the UK. These clauses have been enhanced based on the guidance of the European Data

Protection Board and will be updated when the new draft model clauses are approved.

Depending on the circumstance, Campus Tree also collects and transfers to the U.S. personal

data with consent; to perform a contract with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest

of Campus Tree in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. Campus Tree

endeavors to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data

and to use it only consistent with your relationship with Campus Tree and the practices

described in this Privacy Statement. Campus Tree also enters into data processing agreements

and model clauses with its vendors whenever feasible and appropriate. Since it was founded,

Campus Tree has received zero government requests for information.

The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other countries’ privacy

laws provide certain rights for data subjects. Data Subject rights under GDPR include the

following:

  • Right to be informed

  • Right of access

  • Right to rectification

  • Right to erasure

  • Right to restrict processing

If you wish to confirm that Campus Tree is processing your personal data, or to have access to

the personal data Campus Tree may have about you, please contact us.

You may also request information about: the purpose of the processing; the categories of

personal data concerned; who else outside Campus Tree might have received the data from

Campus Tree; what the source of the information was (if you didn’t provide it directly to

Tree erase that data or cease processing it, subject to certain exceptions. You may also request

that Campus Tree cease using your data for direct marketing purposes. In many countries, you

have a right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority if you have

concerns about how Campus Tree processes your personal data. When technically feasible,

Campus Tree will—at your request—provide your personal data to you.

Reasonable access to your personal data will be provided at no cost. If access cannot be

provided within a reasonable time frame, Campus Tree will provide you with a date when the

information will be provided. If for some reason access is denied, Campus Tree will provide an

explanation as to why access has been denied.

For questions or complaints concerning the processing of your personal data, you can email us

at justin@campustree.live. Alternatively, if you are located in the European Union, you can also

have recourse to the European Data Protection Supervisor or with your nation’s data protection

authority.

 

Data storage and retention

Your personal data is stored by the Campus Tree on its servers, and on the servers of the

cloud-based database management services the Campus Tree engages, located in the United

States. The Campus Tree retains service data for the duration of the customer’s business

relationship with the Campus Tree and for a period of time thereafter, to analyze the data for

Campus Tree’s own operations, and for historical and archiving purposes associated with

Campus Tree’s services. Campus Tree retains prospect data until such time as it no longer has

business value and is purged from Campus Tree systems. All personal data that Campus Tree

controls may be deleted upon verified request from Data Subjects or their authorized agents.
