How We Use Your Personal Data

How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to.

Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests.
  • Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

You can find out more about the types of lawful basis that we will rely on to process your personal data in the Glossary section below.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data although we will get your consent before sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message.

Where required by law we will also ask you for consent for us to send you direct marketing communications by email and / or text. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so.

We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate. Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data.

MARKETING

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

PROMOTIONAL OFFERS FROM US

 

We may use your Identity Data, Contact Data, Pet Data, Technical Data, Profile Data, Usage Data & Marketing and Communications Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have:

  • requested information from us or purchased goods or services from us;
  • entered into a competition;
  • signed up to one of our community groups / schemes such as Lead the Way, Puppy Club and/or the Breeder Scheme;
  • subscribed to one of our newsletters such as Tailchaser Times;
  • signed up to receive promotional offers from us;
  • signed up to our loyalty scheme;
  • received a rehoming pack;
  • engaged with one of the Burns campaigns;
  • attended one of our events,

and you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

DIRECT MARKETING BY EMAIL AND TEXT

Although our general approach to marketing is to only send marketing communications by email and text to individuals where we have their consent to do so (such consent can be withdrawn at any time), we may send marketing communications to companies, Scottish partnerships, limited liability partnerships or government bodies by email and text without consent (in this case our legal basis of processing would be legitimate interests).

THIRD-PARTY MARKETING

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party for their own marketing purposes.

OPTING OUT

You can ask us or our third party data processors to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us (using the contact details set out above) at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal data provided to us as a result of a product/service purchase, warranty registration, product/service experience or other transactions.

COOKIES

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our websites may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see the cookie policy on our website.

 CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.
