    • the exercise of official authority; or
    • your legitimate interests.

        • the accuracy of the personal data is contested (unless it is verified);
        • you believe that the processing is unlawful;
        • you believe that Petiboo no longer requires your personal data for the purpose it was initially collected, but you require your data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

  7. Right to data portability: you have the right to request the transfer of your personal information to another organisation.
  8. Right to withdraw consent: you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you wish to do so, you can contact us, and we will implement this. Please note, however, that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal.

8. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The security of your personal information is of utmost importance to us, so we have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, no method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security regarding the transmission of personal information to and from the Site.

9. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy and data protection policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

10. DO NOT TRACK

Please note that because there is no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) signals, currently we do not respond to DNT browser signals and we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.

11. CHANGES

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy frequently to remain informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of those changes.
