Our lawful basis for using your information

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, for example for certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies, you can withdraw your consent at any time.

Payments

Payments made through our website are processed using third-party payment providers.

Payment providers may collect and process information needed to complete your payment and prevent fraud.

We do not receive or store your full payment card details.

The payment provider you use will process your information in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Delivery and order fulfilment

Where your order is being delivered, we may share the information necessary to complete the delivery with postal, courier or delivery service providers.

This may include your name, delivery address and other contact information where required for delivery.

We only share information that is reasonably necessary to fulfil your order.

If you choose to receive marketing emails or updates from us, we may use your name and email address to send you news, product updates, information about where we are trading and other Paws On The Cut updates.

You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications will not prevent us from contacting you where necessary about an order you have placed.

Some cookies are necessary for the website and online shop to function correctly. These may be used for features such as maintaining your shopping basket, processing checkout and remembering essential website settings.

  • analytics and website security providers.

We may also disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights.

We do not sell your personal information.

How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Order and transaction information may be retained where necessary for accounting, tax and legal record-keeping requirements.

Information used for marketing purposes will be retained until you unsubscribe, withdraw your consent where applicable, or we determine that the information is no longer required.

We may retain limited information where necessary to record that you have asked us not to contact you for marketing purposes.

How we protect your information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

We also aim to limit access to personal information to those people and service providers who reasonably need it to operate our business.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
