PETstock will only collect your personal information by lawful and fair means, and not in an unreasonably intrusive manner.

It is PETstock’s usual practice to collect information directly from you when you:

We may collect information about you from a third party or a publicly available source, but only if you have consented to such collection, or would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information in this way.

Where we can, we will allow you to deal with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym. For example, if you wish to review a product or make a comment about our service, you are able to do this anonymously.

However, in some circumstances, PETstock may need to collect your personal information to provide you with a delivery or other service. In some cases, if you do not provide the required personal information we will not be able to provide you with that service.

If we receive information about you from a third party and it is not information we need in respect of our business activities, we will destroy or de-identify that information (provided it is lawful to do so). If we receive information in error (e.g. via social media) we will act promptly to remove the content.

Any personal information that you provide via our websites or directly is collected and managed by PETstock.
