Your rights: We consent is considered given when you ask us to complete a service for your pet or based on a contract between us (e.g., when you book a cremation).
You have the right to withdraw your consent by requesting us not to carry out your pet cremation before the service has taken place. The service is considered taking place upon collection. If you withdraw your consent (e.g., by opting out of the service with us), we will stop processing your data as requested.
Be aware that if you have used our services, we will still need to hold onto your data. That is because the contract between us and you is the basis for using your data (rather than consent).
If you are concerned about the processing of your data, please contact our DPO (see above).
If you are unhappy with our use of your data, you also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office, which supervises data protection in the UK. You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data. You also have the right to request that we correct or remove your data, when there remains no legal basis for us keeping it.
