Where UK data protection law applies, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases.

Contract

We process personal information where necessary to process your order, take payment, arrange delivery, provide updates, handle returns or refunds, and provide related customer service.

Legitimate interests

We process personal information where necessary to keep our website secure, prevent fraud, protect our business, improve services, respond to enquiries, and manage ordinary store operations, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Consent

We rely on consent for non-essential cookies and similar technologies, and for electronic direct marketing where consent is required.

Legal obligation

We process personal information where necessary to meet tax, accounting, consumer-law, record-keeping, and other legal or regulatory requirements.

7. What we do not do

For clarity:

  • We do not sell or rent personal information.
  • We do not intentionally collect special category data for ordinary ecommerce orders.
  • We do not store full payment card numbers on our own systems.
  • We do not make marketing consent a condition of purchase.
  • We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through ordinary ecommerce activity.
  • We do not use customer support information for unrelated purposes without a lawful reason.

8. Cookies, pixels, and similar technologies

We use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to support the operation of our website and understand how it is used.

These technologies may be used to:

  • keep the site and checkout working properly
  • remember preferences
  • measure traffic and site performance
  • understand product and page engagement
  • improve customer experience
  • support advertising measurement or remarketing
  • manage cookie, privacy, or consent preferences where available

Some cookies are necessary for the website and checkout to work properly. Other cookies or similar technologies may be used for analytics, advertising, personalisation, or remarketing where enabled.

In the UK, non-essential cookies and similar technologies generally require consent. Strictly necessary cookies may be used without that consent where they are genuinely necessary for the service requested.

You can manage your choices through our cookie banner, cookie settings, or browser settings where available. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.

9. Marketing communications

If you subscribe to receive marketing from us, we may send you promotional emails or SMS about products, offers, restocks, and related store updates.

You can withdraw your consent or opt out at any time:

  • for email, by using the unsubscribe link in the message
  • for SMS, by following the opt-out instructions in the message
  • by contacting us at support@fluffypuppypetstore.com

If you opt out, we may still send non-marketing messages that are necessary for your order, delivery, return, refund, or customer service request.

10. Sharing personal information

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

We may share personal information with trusted third parties that help us operate our business, including:

  • Shopify and other ecommerce platform or website hosting providers
  • payment processors and checkout providers
  • fraud-prevention and security providers
  • warehousing, fulfilment, shipping, and delivery partners
  • customer service, email, SMS, and communications providers
  • analytics and advertising providers, where lawfully used
  • professional advisers and service providers supporting our operations
  • legal, regulatory, government, or law-enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law

We aim to limit sharing to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant service or lawful purpose.

11. Shopify, payments, and service providers

We use Shopify and other service providers to operate our online store, checkout, payments, analytics, customer support, and related ecommerce services.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf or as otherwise described in their own terms and privacy notices.

Payment information is generally handled by third-party payment providers. We do not store full payment card numbers on our own systems.

12. International transfers

Because we operate an international ecommerce business, some personal information may be processed, stored, or accessed outside the United Kingdom.

This may happen when we use service providers, cloud systems, payment providers, support tools, analytics tools, advertising partners, or fulfilment partners located in or operating from countries outside the United Kingdom.

These locations may include the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and countries in Asia or other regions where our providers or fulfilment partners operate.

Where a restricted transfer takes place, we use an appropriate safeguard under UK data protection law where required, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, contractual commitments, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

13. Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and for related legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, security, and business needs.

Typical retention periods may include:

  • Order and transaction records: up to 6 years, or longer where required by law
  • Customer service correspondence: up to 2 years after the last interaction
  • Marketing preferences and consent records: until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent, and for a reasonable period afterwards to maintain suppression records
  • Cookie, privacy, and consent preference records: for a reasonable period needed to record and honour the choice
  • Analytics and security logs: for the period set by the relevant tool or system configuration

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we aim to delete it, anonymise it, or securely destroy it.

14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed for an online retail business to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or unauthorised access.

These measures may include:

  • encrypted website connections
  • access controls
  • provider access management
  • fraud monitoring
  • internal limitation of access on a need-to-know basis

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. If you believe your information has been used without authorisation, please contact us promptly.

15. Your rights in the United Kingdom

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • be informed about how your personal information is used
  • access the personal information we hold about you
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • request erasure in certain circumstances
  • request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • receive your personal information in a portable format where applicable
  • object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • object at any time to processing for direct marketing
  • withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
  • lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office

To exercise your rights, contact us at support@fluffypuppypetstore.com.

Please include the email address associated with your order or customer interaction where possible so we can locate your information.

We may need to verify your identity before responding.

16. Complaints

If you have a concern about how your personal information is handled, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), which is the UK supervisory authority for data protection matters.

17. Children

Our store is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children as part of ordinary ecommerce activity.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate involvement from a parent or guardian, please contact us.

18. Automated decision-making

We may use automated tools for analytics, fraud screening, advertising measurement, and store operations.

We do not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects on customers in the ordinary course of operating our store unless we are lawfully permitted to do so and provide the required safeguards.

19. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, technology, service providers, or legal requirements.

When we update it, we will post the revised version on this page and change the “Last updated” date.
