Kingstone Pet Boarding / Nicola Bowers does not actively collect personal data. The only data we store is covered by the key lawful basis for data processing set out by ICO in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our ICO registration number is ZA737422.

Your name and contact information will be stored with your consent (or implied consent such as making an enquiry on our website) so that we may contact you in relation to your enquiry.

We may contact you in relation to an ongoing contract.

We have a duty of care to your pets before, during and after your stay. We are therefore required to maintain information about yourself and your pet. We will retain these records after your pets stay with us in case we need to contact you. For example, if in the unlikely event that one of the pets in our care is unwell during or after your pet’s stay, we may need to contact you. In the unlikely event that your pet is unwell after their stay with us, we may need these records to contact you or other customers. If you would like us to remove your data from our records, please contact us.

We may contact you in relation to legitimate business interest.

Your data will be kept on record for financial accounting purposes for which we are legally required to maintain records.

Where do we keep your information?

Our customer records are all in hard copy. Whilst your pet is boarding, where applicable, we will ask you to leave their vaccination certificates with us to comply with the license agreement. All of these documents are stored in individual folders in a locked filing cabinet. During your pets stay the only documents not retained in the locked cabinet will be ones relating to your pet’s daily care needs.
