Petlab encourages you to review the privacy statements of any websites you choose to navigate to, from Petlab, so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Petlab is not responsible for how those third parties use your personal data, or for their privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Petlab websites.


Purpose of this Policy


This Privacy Policy is provided in accordance with Petlab’s obligations under applicable privacy and data protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation in the EU and the UK, as applicable (GDPR) (Applicable Data Protection Law).


Definitions in this Privacy Policy shall be as set out in the Applicable Data Protection Law. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the term “personal data” means any information which identifies you or which allows you to be identified when combined with other information. It does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data).


For the purposes of Applicable Data Protection Law, Petlab is a data controller, for example, when collecting personal data from our customers to provide them with products and/or services and to send them marketing information. This Privacy Policy applies in the context where Petlab is a data controller.


Collection of your Personal Information


Petlab may collect and process personal data, such as your name and email address if you enter these on the contact form on our website or to fulfil our contractual obligations to provide our products or services, invoice and receive payment for products or services, send legal updates, and news and information about our products or services or when we deal with enquiries or complaints.


Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, we may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This information is used for the operation of the website and the services provided by Petlab, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Petlab website and services.


We do not expect to collect any Special Categories of Personal Data (such as details about 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) pursuant to the provision of our website or our products or services and Petlab requests that you do not share such data with us and shall not request this data from you unless it is required to deal with a specific issue and it complies with Applicable Data Protection Law.

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including through:

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 the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with our services). In this case, we may have to cancel the contract you have with us but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.


Purposes for which we will process your personal data and legal basis


Petlab collects and uses your personal information to operate its website(s) and deliver the products and services you have requested including processing your account application.

  • • 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 or regulatory obligation.


Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to you via email or text message (although we may also rely on legitimate interests where appropriate). You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us.


We have set out below, in a table format, a description of how we may 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.

Petlab may use your personal information to inform you of products or services available from Petlab and our partners. Petlab may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of our website and our products and services. Petlab does not sell, rent or lease or provide in any other way its customer lists to third parties.


Petlab may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit within Petlab and which products and services our users access. This data is used to deliver customised content to Petlab customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.


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 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, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.


Disclosure and International Transfers of Personal Data


Petlab may share your personal data with trusted partners, contractors and other group companies to help provide our products and services, including to perform credit-checks, fraud prevention, analysis, provide you with products or services, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support and IT support, market research, or to securely store your data. All such third parties are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.


We require all third parties we share personal data with to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions and applicable law.


We may also transfer your personal data to third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy.


Some of our service providers or partners may process your personal data in countries outside of the UK/EEA that do not have equivalent data protection laws to the UK/EEA. In addition, your personal data may be accessed by our group entities located overseas, such as Petlab Co. Inc in the US to enable them to provide intra-group services to Petlab. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA or UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it as when it is within the UK/EEA by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:


  • • Where the transfer of your personal data is to a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission or the UK Government or other regulatory authority.

  • • Where we use specific contracts approved by the European Commission, the UK Government or other regulatory authority which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK/EU. For transfers of personal data from Petlab Group Limited to Petlab Co. Inc, we have entered into Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your data (a copy of which is available on request from our Data Protection Officer, using the contact details provided above).

  • • Where the personal data is protected by Binding Corporate Rules.


Petlab may disclose your personal information, without notice, if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

(a) conform to the edicts of the law or regulation or comply with legal process served on Petlab or the site;

(b) protect and defend the rights or property of Petlab; and,

(c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of customers of Petlab, or the public.


Additional Information regarding Third Party Tracking Services


Personal Data is collected for the following purposes and using the following services:


Interaction with external social networks and platforms


The website may incorporate links to social media platforms, such as a Facebook Like button, LinkedIn button, Twitter Tweet button and social widgets. This type of service allows interaction with social networks or other external platforms directly with our websites. The interaction and information obtained through our websites are always subject to your privacy settings for each social network. This type of service might still collect traffic data for the pages where the service is installed, even when users do not use it.


Data security


We have put in place and will maintain appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, accessed, altered or disclosed in an unauthorised way. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.


Data retention


Petlab will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.


To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Data is reviewed regularly for relevance. Any data deemed no-longer relevant is deleted. Petlab shall keep personal data of customers seven years from the date of closing an account. If your account application is declined Petlab will keep this personal data for 5 years from the decision. If your account is subject to any dispute or complaint it will keep personal data relating to this issue for 6 years from the case being closed. Petlab shall keep emails of clients and prospective clients for as long as it has a lawful basis to do so.


If you have a question about our data retention periods please contact us at dpo@thepetlabco.com.

Children Under Thirteen


Petlab does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website or our services.

We respect your privacy and will give you an opportunity to opt-out of receiving unsolicited direct marketing communications by email. You may opt-out of receiving any or all marketing communications from Petlab by contacting us or selecting the “Unsubscribe” option on our email.


Your Legal Rights


You have the right to:


Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.


Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.


Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.


Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object. You also have the right to ask us to stop using your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time.


Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.


Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided and which you consented for us to use or where we used the information to enter into or perform a contract with you.


Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.


No fee usually required.


You will not usually have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights set out above). 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.


What we may need from you


We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.


Time limit to respond


We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.


Complaints


In the event that you have a complaint about our treatment of your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory body, the Information Commissioner - ico.org.uk. Details of how do to this are set out at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/. However we welcome the opportunity to resolve any complaint and we would respectfully request you to first refer your complaint to our Data Protection Officer (whose contact details are stated at the beginning of this Privacy Policy), prior to making a complaint to the Information Commissioner.


Changes to this Privacy Policy


Petlab will occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to how we process personal data. Petlab will inform you of any material changes, but encourages you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to be informed of how Petlab is processing and protecting your information.


Contact Information


Petlab welcomes your questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy. If you have a query, please contact Petlab at dpo@thepetlabco.com.
