Under UK data protection law, we must have a lawful reason for using your personal information.
We may process your information because:
It is necessary to fulfil a contract with you.
For example, when you place an order, we need to use your name, contact details and delivery information to process and fulfil that order.
We have a legal obligation.
We may need to retain certain information for accounting, tax or other legal purposes.
We have a legitimate interest.
We may use information where it is reasonably necessary to operate, protect and improve our business, provided that our interests do not override your rights and interests.
You have given us consent.
Where consent is required, including where you choose to subscribe to our marketing emails, you can withdraw your consent at any time.
If you choose to join the Paws On The Cut mailing list, we will use the information you provide, such as your name and email address, to send you email updates.

occasional other information we think may be of interest to our subscribers.
We use a double opt-in process for mailing-list subscriptions.
After submitting the signup form, you will receive an email asking you to confirm that you wish to subscribe. You will not be treated as a confirmed marketing subscriber until you complete that confirmation process.
We may keep a record of your subscription, including when and how you subscribed and confirmed your subscription, so that we can demonstrate that appropriate consent was obtained.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link contained in our marketing emails or by contacting us.
Withdrawing your consent to marketing will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent, and it will not prevent us from contacting you where necessary in connection with an order or other service you have requested.
