Our legal basis for collecting personal data
Collecting personal data based on consent
The collection of personal data based on consent from the data subject will be done by using a “Consent Box” that you will have to tick off as a prerequisite to use our platform. By clicking the box, you agree that you have read and understood this Privacy Statement, and then you acknowledge the type and extent of personal data that will be logged in our system concerning you as an individual.
Collecting personal data based on contracts
We use personal information for fulfilling our obligations related to contracts and agreements with
customers, partners, and suppliers.
Collecting personal data based on legitimate interest
We may use personal data if it is considered to be of legitimate interest, and if the privacy interests of the data subjects do not override this interest. Normally, to establish the legal basis for data collection, an assessment has been made during which a mutual interest between CleanQuote and the individual person has been identified. We will always inform individuals about their privacy rights and the purpose for collecting personal data.
What type of personal data is collected?
We collect the following personal data:
