GDPR Compliance

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

Our Commitment to Data Protection

While fuzzy-wheel is based in Australia and primarily operates under the Australian Privacy Principles, we recognize that some of our clients may be covered by the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are committed to respecting the data protection rights of all individuals.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Contractual Necessity: To provide pet care services you have requested
  • Legitimate Interest: To improve our services and maintain business operations
  • Consent: For marketing communications and optional data uses
  • Legal Obligation: To comply with applicable laws and regulations

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are covered by GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

Right to Rectification

You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. This right is subject to legal retention requirements.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You can request that we restrict processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a portable format and to transmit it to another data controller.

Right to Object

You can object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.
