What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?​

Some data protection laws say that we are allowed to use personal information only if we have a proper reason to do so. This includes sharing it outside The Pawerful Rescue. These laws say we must have one or more of these reasons:

​

• Consent: you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose;

• Contract: we need to process your personal data for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract;

• Legal obligation: processing your data is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations);

• Vital interests: processing your data is necessary to protect someone’s life;

• Legitimate interests: the processing of your data is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests. A legitimate interest is when we use your data in ways you would reasonably expect and which have a minimal privacy impact, or where there is a compelling justification for the processing. But even then, it must not unfairly go against what is right and best for you. If we rely on our legitimate interest, we will tell you what that is.

 

Who we share your personal information with​

Your personal data will be treated as strictly confidential and will only be shared within The Pawerful Rescue itself for purposes connected with The Pawerful Rescue. We will never sell your data. We will only share your data with third parties outside of The Pawerful Rescue with your consent.

 

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:​

• If we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply the terms of our Privacy Policy and other terms or agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Pawerful Rescue or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud prevention; and

• When they are working as part of The Pawerful Rescue.
