Dogs Walk This Way and your privacy
In our mission to rescue dogs in the UK and abroad, we inevitably collect and process some personal data. This policy explains what information we collect from you, how it’s used, and how you can manage or delete any information about you that we hold.
What information do we collect?
Sometimes we’ll ask you to fill out a form on our website. For example, to apply to adopt a dog, to send us a message or enquiry or to download a document. We’ll only ever use that personal data to contact you for a different purpose IF you’ve given us explicit consent – usually by ticking a box when you submit the form.
Sometimes we’ll ask you to fill out a form on a third-party website, like EventBrite. They have their own privacy policies, but we’ll treat your personal data as if you gave it to us directly.
Almost all websites use cookies – small text files that are stored on your device – to make the user experience better and ours is no exception. We use third-party cookies from services like Google Analytics which, while they give us lots of data, can’t be used to identify you personally.
Your device (computer, phone etc) also sends information about you, like where you are, what operating system you’re using, and what network you’re accessing the internet from. We also access this data via third-party services like Google Analytics, but we’re not interested in using it to identify you personally (though we may use it to figure out what company you work for).

How do we use your data?
If you’ve given us permission, we’ll use your data to send you marketing materials. These might consist of email newsletters and notifications about events we’re planning. If you’re very important, we might call you, but again, we’ll only contact you for the purpose, and via the medium, that you’ve given us permission for.
How do we keep your data safe?
All the forms we use, including those on third-party sites, make use of SSL encryption. We also make sure that your personal data is only accessible by appropriately trained staff.
If required to do so, we may have to share your personal information with the police, regulatory bodies or legal advisors. In any other circumstances, we’ll only share your data with third-parties if we have your explicit and informed consent.
