Our Policy

We treat your dog as if it were our own, that's our policy plain and simple.

Privacy Policy

This is the privacy notice of Waggles. In this document, "we", "our", or "us" refer to Waggles.  

Our registered office is at 24 Kingsway Park, Kingsbridge TQ71HJ .

Introduction

This privacy notice aims to inform you about how we collect and process any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. In the context of the law and this notice, “process” means collect, store, transfer, use or otherwise act on information. It tells you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal

information. Our policy is not just an exercise in complying with the law, but a continuation of our respect for you and your personal information.

We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide to us, and hope that you reciprocate.

Our policy complies with the Data Protection Act 2018 (Act) accordingly incorporating the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The law requires us to tell you about your rights and our obligations to you in regard to the processing and control of your personal data. We do this now, by requesting that you read the information provided at http://www.knowyourprivacyrights.org

​Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.

 

Data Protection Officer

We have appointed a data protection officer (Suzi Colton) who is responsible for

ensuring that our policy is followed.

If you have any questions about this privacy notice, including any requests to exercise

your legal rights, please contact Suzi Colton on bigbuffabear@gmail.com

Data we process

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you.

We have collated these into groups as follows:

Your identity includes information such as first name, last name, title, date of birth,

and other identifiers that you may have provided at some time.

Your contact information includes information such as billing address, delivery

address, email address, telephone numbers and any other information you have

given to us for the purpose of communication or meeting.

Transaction data includes details about payments or communications to and from

you and information about products and services you have purchased from us.

Technical data includes your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version,

time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system

and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

Marketing data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us;

communication preferences; responses and actions in relation to your use of our

services.

We may aggregate anonymous data such as statistical or demographic data for any

purpose. Anonymous data is data that does not identify you as an individual.

Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered

personal information in law because it does not reveal your identity.

For example, we may aggregate profile data to assess interest in a product or service.

However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information

so that it can identify you in any way, we treat the combined data as personal

information and it will be used in accordance with this privacy notice.

Special personal information

Special personal information is data about your race or ethnicity, religious or

philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union

membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data.

We do not collect any special personal information about you.

If you do not provide personal information we need

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we

have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able

to perform that contract. In that case, we may have to stop providing a service to

you. If so, we will notify you of this at the time.

The bases on which we process information about you

The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process

different categories of your personal information, and to notify you of the basis for each

category.

If a basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant then

we shall immediately stop processing your data.

If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and

of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process

your information.

Information we process because we have a contractual obligation

with you

When you buy a product or service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and

conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.

In order to carry out our obligations under that contract we must process the

information you give us. Some of this information may be personal information.

We may use it in order to:

  • ·verify your identity for security purposes

  • ·sell products to you

  • ·provide you with our services

  • ·provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services and how to

  • obtain the most from using our website

We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you

have requested we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.

We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or

is terminated by either party under the terms of the contract.

Information we process with your consent

Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between

us, such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you more information

about our business, including our products and services, you provide your consent to

us to process information that may be personal information.

Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this

information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.

If you have given us explicit permission to do so, we may from time to time pass your

name and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide

services or products you would find useful.

We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw yourconsent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us abigbuffabear@gmail.com. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our

website or our services further.

Information we process for the purposes of legitimate interests

We may process information on the basis there is a legitimate interest, either to you

or to us, of doing so.

Where we process your information on this basis, we do after having given careful

consideration to:

  • ·whether the same objective could be achieved through other means

  • ·whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm

  • ·whether you would expect us to process your data, and whether you would,

  • in the round, consider it reasonable to do so

For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:

  • ·record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our business.

  • ·responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you

would expect a response

  • ·protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party

  • ·insuring against or obtaining professional advice that is required to manage

business risk

  • · protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so

Information we process because we have a legal obligation

Sometimes, we must process your information in order to comply with a statutory

obligation.

For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so

request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court

order.

This may include your personal information.
