Privacy Policy

Basically, I do not share any information I have on you to anyone or ever send you marketing.

But to comply with regulations I have to go into detail, so here goes….


This privacy notice explains how I, operating as Thompson&Pooch, use the personal information I collect from you - either through using my website, email, post, telephone communications and/or social media.


I am committed to protecting your privacy. By using this website, you are giving me permission to collect information for the purpose of providing my services. I will only use the information that I collect about you lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018).

Data control & processing (who)

Thompson&Pooch is the data controller and processor, that is because I make all the decisions about what data I collect, how it is used, how it is stored and with whom it is shared. 


I can be contacted at thompsonandpooch@outlook.com or telephoned at 07365 289 584.

I obtain information about you when you use the Thompson&Pooch social media platforms specifically Instagram (@ThompsonPooch), and Facebook (Thompson&Pooch) to contact me, comment, like or share a post.

I will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.


The only time your information will be shared is 

  • with your vet for the well-being of your dog

I can be contacted at thompsonandpooch@outlook.com or telephone at 07365 289 584.

Things out of my control

Non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) are transmitted normally over the Internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while I strive to protect your personal information, I cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to me, and you do so at your own risk.

This privacy policy applies only to Thompson&Pooch’s website‚ so I encourage you to read the privacy statements on the other websites you visit. I cannot be responsible for the privacy policies and practices of other sites even if you access them using links from my website.
