You may withhold personal data if (for example, you can enable or disable location services when you use our Services at any time through your Device settings); however, if you choose to do so, certain App features or Services may not function correctly.

  • provide you with promotional offers and information regarding products and Services from Sure Petcare or third parties where you have accepted or consented to receive such offers and information via the App or otherwise;
  • provide aggregate statistical data to advertisers and to our third party partners; and
  • generate aggregate data through the anonymization of your personal data.

Where applicable laws require a legal basis to process personal data, we rely on the following lawful bases:

  • where processing your data is necessary to comply with legal obligations; and
  • with your consent or at your direction, such as where you consent to receive direct marketing materials from us.

Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you may have the right under applicable law to withdraw such consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent before its withdrawal. Where applicable, you may withdraw consent, either through your account settings or by contacting us where indicated in below.

  • Potential purchasers or investors: in the event that we sell, assign or transfer some or all of our business or assets to a successor or acquirer, or if we are acquired by or merge with a third party, or if we file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, we may disclose, sell, assign or transfer all of your personal data as part of the transaction.

Your use of the App and Services may involve the transfer, storage and processing of your personal data in jurisdictions outside your country of residence. Please note that the privacy and data protection laws of such jurisdictions may not be as comprehensive as those in which you reside, in which case Sure Petcare will take measures to ensure your personal data is protected in accordance with applicable law. Where applicable law requires your consent for such transfers, you agree to the transfer by submitting your personal data to Sure Petcare.

Deleting Your Account

If you choose to delete your account, all your personal data shall be irretrievably deleted except for the right of the Company to keep certain data in line with its legal obligations and applicable data protection laws.

In particular, the Company shall keep your personal data to in relation to:

  • Direct sales data from purchases made with the App.
  • Support case information.
  • Other applicable data for establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, preventing fraud/ensuring security, etc.
