Privacy Policy & Disclaimer
How Tree Service North Shore Auckland collects, uses and shares your information, and important information about this referral website.
Privacy Policy
Who we are
Tree Service North Shore Auckland (treeservicenorthshore.co.nz) is a tree service enquiry and referral website. We help North Shore and Auckland property owners connect with a local tree service contractor for tree removal, tree trimming, tree pruning, stump removal, hedge trimming and storm damage cleanup.
We are not ourselves a tree service contractor. When you submit an enquiry through this website or through one of our online advertisements, your details are passed on to a local, independent tree service contractor so they can contact you directly about your project.
Information we collect
When you fill out an enquiry form on this website, or respond to one of our online lead ads, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your phone number
- Details about your tree service job or project (e.g. the type of work, your property/site, and any information you choose to provide about your enquiry)
We do not collect payment information, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18.
How we use your information
We use the information you provide to:
- Understand what tree service service you’re enquiring about
- Pass your enquiry on to a local, independent tree service contractor so they can contact you, assess your job, and provide a quote
- Respond to any direct questions you send us
- Keep basic records of enquiries for quality and follow-up purposes
We do not sell your information to third parties, and we do not use it for any purpose beyond connecting you with a tree service contractor for the service you enquired about.
Who we share your information with
Your enquiry details (name, email, phone and job details) are shared with:
- A local, independent tree service contractor — who will contact you to discuss and quote your job.
- Our form and customer communication provider (GoHighLevel / LeadConnector) — the platform we use to securely collect and route enquiry form submissions.
- Advertising platforms (such as Google) — if you reach this website through an online advertisement, the advertising platform may process technical information about your visit, in line with its own privacy policy.
- Our website hosting provider (Cloudflare) — who hosts this website and may process standard technical/traffic data as part of delivering the site to your browser.
We do not share your information with any other third party, and we do not sell your personal information.
Cookies & tracking
This website, and the online advertisements that link to it, may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (including Google Ads tags) to measure ad performance and understand how visitors use our site. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.
Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information you provide, including using reputable third-party providers (GoHighLevel and Cloudflare) that maintain their own security standards. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
How long we keep your information
We retain enquiry information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose it was collected for — generally, until your enquiry has been completed or closed out, unless you ask us to delete it sooner or we are required to keep it for longer by law.
Your rights
Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to ask for access to the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it is wrong. You can also ask us to delete your information, or to stop passing your details on, at any time.
To make a request, contact us using the details below. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in how we collect or share information. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
