Transmission and storage of data

The data that we hold about you may be transferred to and stored at facilities inside or outside our company and within or outside our immediate control. We use Wix and Google data storage locations, as well as physical paper recording. Your data may also be processed by staff who are not directly employed by us, and who may be located elsewhere in the world.

​

Although we will do our best to protect the privacy of your personal data at all times by using appropriate policies, procedures and technologies, we cannot guarantee that the transmission and storage of your data is completely secure. Similarly, although we will make every effort through backups and other mechanisms to protect your data against partial or complete loss, we cannot guarantee that your data will never be lost, nor that we will always be able to retrieve it if it is lost or if you or we delete it.

Use of data

We may make use of the data we hold about you (including in combination with other data we may receive from other sources) in a number of ways, including:

 

  • To provide the services that we offer to you or our other customers, or which you or they request from us.

  • To improve our services, and to develop new ones.

  • To determine which of our or a third-party’s products may be of interest to you or our other customers.

  • To communicate with you in respect of our existing or future products and services including, for example, to solicit your opinions on current or proposed product features.

  • To market and promote our services to you or others.

  • To calculate or otherwise automatically or manually determine derived information (including creditworthiness and other “scores”) relating to you, your pet(s), your behaviour and/or your use of our services.

​

We will never provide your data to third-parties for marketing their products or services unless expressly agreed beforehand.

Disclosure of data

In the course of our business, we may share your personal data and data about your dog within our company for the purposes outlined above, with other companies related to ours, and with selected third-parties, including:

​

  • Other people you have identified as being “co-owners” of your dog, and with whom you therefore wish to share your and your dog’s data. These co-owners of your dog may retain on-going access to such data until they voluntarily relinquish it.

  • Those who provide services to our business including, for example, banking and other finance providers including HMRC, postal and shipping providers (including outside the EEA), aforementioned providers of technical infrastructure or other similar services.

  • Advisors to our business.

  • Third parties to whom we may wish to sell our business.

 

When we share your information with third-parties, they may have the right to further share it internally and externally with additional third-parties who may not be inside the EEA.

​

We may also be under a legal duty or obligation to disclose your data, or we may need to do so to enforce our policies or agreements with you, or to protect our rights, property or the safety of people or animals. This may include exchanging information with others for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

​

If our company or its assets are licensed or acquired in part or whole by a third-party, data held by us and the rights and obligations contained in this policy may be part of the assets assigned and/or transferred.

Collaboration with partners

You may have come to our services through Rover.com or another third-party organisation with whom you may or may not have an existing relationship. We may have received information about you from these third-parties. We will never provide any information back to them about you, however, we will assume they already hold the information we have received about you and therefore may provide it to them again, even if you may have since removed such information from their control.

​

You have the right to withdraw your consent to such data sharing (see below). In some circumstances where you have a relationship with the third-party, you may be using their services and if you subsequently withdraw your consent for us to share your data with them, they may withdraw some or all of that service or benefit.

Deletion of data

We will offer you ways to delete some or all of your data.

 

We have the right to delete some or all of your data without your permission in any circumstances where we consider it appropriate to do so. This may include circumstances in which you have breached any of these or our other terms, in which we or you have modified or ended our relationship, in which you have requested such deletion, in which we have decided to do so for the purposes of purging our records of out-of-date or no-longer required information, or in which we are required by law or the instruction of a legal authority to do so.

​

If you or we intentionally delete your data, we will attempt to remove and stop using it. However, it may persist in backups and other archives that are impractical or impossible to alter, may have been processed or incorporated into data sets from which it cannot practically be removed, or may already have been shared with others who may retain it.

Legal basis for processing

We process the data listed in “Types of data” above on the basis that you have consented to our doing so, that it is necessary to provide our service, and that it is in our legitimate business interests to do so, as described in “Use of data” above.

You have the following rights in relation to our collection, storage and use of your personal data:

 

  • The right of access.

  • The right of rectification.

  • The right of erasure.

  • The right to restrict processing.

  • The right to object to processing.

  • The right to data portability.

  • The right to withdraw consent.

 

You also have the right to lodge a complaint to the Information Commissioner, and the right to ask us not to use your personal data for marketing purposes.

​

You can contact us on tbourner@gmail.com at any time to exercise any of these rights, and we may then direct you to an appropriate mechanism to achieve that effect.

 

As we further develop our products and services, we may make available further mechanisms for you to opt-out of particular ways that some or all of your personal data is held and/or used.

 

Should you choose to exercise one or more of your rights in respect of this policy, we may for reasons of practicality be unable to continue to provide some or all of the services we have previously provided to you.
