Introduction

The AbbeyPet General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Policy documents the necessary information required to effectively manage Data Protection. The UK’s first Data Protection Act was passed in 1984 and the second Act was passed in 1998, coming into force on 1 March 2000. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was passed in 2016 and comes into force after a two-year preparation period on 25 May 2018. GDPR originated in the European Parliament but will be fully absorbed into UK law regardless of the UK exiting the European Union. It defines the policies, procedures, criteria for and areas of application, and roles, responsibilities and authorities.

This document’s intended audience can be any member of AbbeyPet Animal Behaviour Clinic or any customer or client for which we hold or intend holding personal (company) information.

Personal Data Protection.

AbbeyPet Animal Behaviour Clinic will respect privacy and your rights to control your personal data. Our principle guidelines are simple. We will be clear about the data we collect and why. Customers or individuals who send us data will have that data protected by us. We do not and will not sell your data to third parties. We will only pass your contact information on should you request us to do so, should you have copied others into communications or should it be for the purposes of our delivery to you.

The prime purpose of collecting your personal data is to enable us to contact you. Whether we’re collaborating with you and others or working with you or others we will only gather your personal address, telephone contact details and email / website information for our reference. Should you supply your work contact details these will be treated in the same way as personal details.

This Statement (the ‘Statement’) explains the personal information we collect from you, either directly or indirectly, and how we will use it. Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you or that we can link to you. The Statement also elaborates on the choices you can make about the data we collect, and how we and you can control these decisions. Please read this Statement carefully to understand how we may collect, use and share your personal information. The terms ‘we’, ‘us’ or AbbeyPet’ are each intended as reference to AbbeyPet Animal Behaviour Clinic.
