Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:
- Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as marketing communications.
- Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as providing our pet care services.
- Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided these are not overridden by your rights and interests.
- Legal obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations.
Your Rights Under GDPR
As a data subject, you have the following rights:
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data we hold about you, or complete any incomplete data.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another data controller where technically feasible.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We will respond to your request within one month. In certain circumstances, we may extend this period by two months where necessary, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.
We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data or exercise any of your other rights.
There is no fee for exercising your rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of personal data where appropriate
- Access controls to limit access to personal data
- Regular security assessments and testing
- Staff training on data protection
International Data Transfers
Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence. When we transfer personal data to other countries, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
Complaints
If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Australia, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
