My Privacy Policy has been updated to reflect changes required as per the GDPR, effective May 25th 2018.

As Paw Saga I am committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of my customers. As such, I wish to remind you of the control you have over your personal information held by me.
I have updated my Privacy Policy with which details when and why I collect your personal information, how I use it, the limited conditions under which I may disclose it to others, and how I keep it secure.

 

WHAT IS GDPR?
The introduction of GDPR introduces a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection and processing of personal information of individuals within the European Union.
It aims to improve your privacy and give you greater control over your personal data and how it is collected, processed, and stored.

 

WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?
Personal data is defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU Regulation 2016/679) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. This, in turn, covers any data held which may enable a person to be identified.

 

HOW I USE YOUR INFORMATION AND MY LEGAL BASIS FOR DOING SO
I use your data where this use is necessary in order to complete an order or because you have requested for something to be done so that you can enter into a contract with me
(eg: provide information to us in order to receive a quotation or layout/design of a product). In the event that you have subscribed to my mailing list, I also use your data to keep you updated on new products and promotional activities.

 

WHAT DATA DO I COLLECT?
