What information does The Snobby Dogs group hold on its clients?

Online Third-Party Software (Premier EPOS Software/Google Forms)

Snobby Dogs uses online third-party software to record service requests and service agreements, and to forward electronic invoices to clients. The data held is that which has already been submitted via means described at Paragraphs 3 a), b), c) and d), above.

All internet-based accounts as described throughout this Policy (with the exception of snobbydogs.co.uk) are protected by the clients own email and password log in. Whilst all accounts are password protected, Snobby Dogs cannot guarantee the security of clients’ data contained on the servers of any internet-based or third-party software provider. That said, Premier EPOS and Google are also GDPR compliant.

If a client or former client wishes to know what data is held on them by Snobby Dogs, they can do so by submitting a written (including electronic) request via any means to Snobby Dogs. They will receive any information we hold within one calendar week.  Charges may apply.

 

Deletion of personal data – the ‘right to be forgotten’

If personal data is no longer necessary to the purpose for which it is intended, it will be deleted. If a client/prospective client wishes for personal data to be deleted, they can do so by written request (via any means). They will receive confirmation of such within one calendar week.

 

Transferring data to third parties

Snobby Dogs reserves the right to move personal information to other services or systems, without notice to the client, which have been identified to benefit the service Snobby Dogs provides.

Data Breaches

Should a personal information breach occur on the part of a software provider, Snobby Dogs will inform the client immediately. It is the responsibility of that provider to inform their respective data protection authority (in the UK it is the Information Commissioner’s Office). Should the breach occur on the part of Snobby Dogs, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office will be informed within 72 hours, following investigation into the breach. The client will be informed of the breach.
