We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Whenever we process your personal data, we are required to identify and maintain a valid "lawful basis" (i.e. a legally compliant justification) for the processing. To help you to understand what we do with data and why, we have described the various relevant lawful bases that we rely on in the table below.  Where we rely on our legitimate interests, we will always make sure that we balance these interests against your rights.

 

How and why we use your personal data

What is our legal justification for processing your personal data

To provide you with the information and services that you request from us (i.e. to complete certain tasks, processes, and to communicate with you regarding those services that you request from us and respond to your questions and comments).

We rely on our contractual arrangements with you as the lawful basis on which we collect and process your personal data in relation to an order for products and services.

Alternatively, in some scenarios, we rely on our legitimate interests as a business (for example, it is in our interests to measure client satisfaction and troubleshoot client issues).

 

To measure the quality and effectiveness of our services, including how satisfied our Site visitors and our clients are and provide customer service (including troubleshooting in connection with your requests for services or when you ask us questions by email, on the phone or on social media).

To prevent or detect crime, fraud or abuses of our products and services or our Site and to enable third parties to carry out related technical, logistical, research or other functions on our behalf related to these purposes.

In some circumstances we will use your personal data because it's necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation (for example, if we receive a legitimate request from a law enforcement agency).

In other cases (such as the detection of theft, fraud or ensuring security of our Site) we will rely on our legitimate interests in keeping our employees and our Site secure and to prevent theft and fraud.

To send you newsletters, updates, information about new products or services, or information about pet treatments and wellbeing, that we think might interest you including via email, text message or post.

Unless we are contacting you in a business to business capacity, we will only use your personal data to send you electronic marketing messages if we have consent from you to do so (or if you are an existing client and have not opted out of receiving marketing materials).

In some cases, we will rely on our legitimate interests to send these types of communication (our legitimate interest in marketing and advertising our products).

You can amend your preferences or opt out from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe links within our marketing messages, by using the following link: [link] or by contacting us at the contact details set out at part 17 of this privacy notice below.

To measure or understand the effectiveness of advertising we serve to you and.

To carry out market research or similar surveys.

To find out more about the visitors to our Site and our client base as a whole (and not to find out more about you as an individual) to ensure that the products and services that we offer are most likely to interest our Site visitors and clients.

We may use cookies to do this.

We have a legitimate interest to make sure that we are providing you with the information that we think is most relevant to you.

We will not place cookies other than "strictly necessary" cookies on your device unless you have told us that you are happy for us to do so, but using the toggle on/off option of our Cookies Banner when you visit our Site. For information on how we use cookies, please see our cookie policy [link]

To notify you about changes to our services and terms and conditions.

We rely on our contractual arrangements with you as the lawful basis for this processing. In some cases, we rely on our legitimate interests as a business to send you these updates.

For administrative or business purposes, where you contact us for a particular reason other than those set out above, such as to report problems with our Site.

We have a legitimate interest to respond to your contact for the purposes of administering our business.

 

5. What if you fail to provide personal information?

 

Please make sure you provide us with certain information when requested as if you don't we may not be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you (such as, to provide you with products or services), to offer you our products or services (when you asked us for an offer) or to consider you for one of our open positions (if you applied for one). In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us, be unable to offer you our services or products or to consider you for a position with our company, but we will make our best efforts to notify you if this is the case at the time.

 

6. Change of purpose

 

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal information for a purpose other than that for which it was collected, we will provide you, prior to that further processing, with information about the new purpose, we will explain our legal justification for doing so and we will provide you with any relevant further information. We may also issue a new privacy notice to you.

If you want to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us (using the contact details set out at part 17 of this privacy notice below).

Where your personal information is processed outside of the UK and EEA, we will ensure that we take the necessary steps to protect your personal information as required by data protection laws.

 

If we feel that we can’t ensure the adequate protection of your personal information we will not share your personal information until and unless you have provided us with your explicit consent to do so, after we explained to you the risk of consenting to such transfer of your personal data outside the UK, EEA or territories who are considered to have an adequate level of protection of personal data.
