Privacy policy
How we collect, use and protect your personal data, and the rights you have under UK GDPR. Oscar's Daycare is the data controller.
Who we are
Oscar's Daycare is the controller responsible for your personal data. You can contact us about privacy or your data at info@oscarsdaycarecentre.co.uk or by phone on 07342 225523.
What we collect
Account and contact details: your name, email, phone, and address and postcode (used for eligibility and to reach you).
Your dog’s details: name, breed, age, health and dietary notes, behaviour notes, vaccination evidence, vet contact, and an emergency contact - used to care for your dog safely. Plus your booking and payment history, and any dog-day updates and photos we share with you.
Payment is processed by our payment provider; we do not store your full card details.
Why we use it and our lawful basis
To provide the service you ask for and to administer your bookings and account (performance of a contract). To meet legal obligations such as tax record-keeping (legal obligation). To keep dogs and people safe and to run and improve our service (legitimate interests). We use photographs of your dog only with the consent you give, which you can withdraw at any time.
Who we share it with
We use trusted service providers who process data on our behalf under contract: our database and file hosting (Supabase, in the EU), payment processing (Stripe), and email and text notifications (Resend and Twilio). We do not sell your data. We may share information where we are required to by law or to protect the safety of a dog or person.
Where your data is held
Your data is held in the EU (London region). We do not move personal data to providers outside the UK or EU unless it is unavoidable and appropriate safeguards are in place.
How long we keep it
Booking and payment records: 7 years (HMRC requirement). Dog-day updates and photos: 2 years. Inactive dog profiles: 3 years from your last booking. Tour and enquiry requests: 12 months. We delete or anonymise data once it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, or provide it in a portable form. To exercise any of these, email us at info@oscarsdaycarecentre.co.uk. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk), though we would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
