Privacy Policy

We process personal data in line with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What we collect

Your name, email address, partial location (UK postcode, converted to approximate coordinates), dog profile details and photographs, swipes and matches, messages between members, and membership status.

Why we use it

To operate matching and messaging, to show approximate distance between members, to take payment for memberships, to keep the community safe, and to meet legal obligations.

What other members see

Your first name, your dog profiles and photos, and an approximate distance in miles. Your full postcode, email address and exact location are never shown.

Storage and retention

Data is stored securely in the UK/EEA. Dog photos are held in private storage and served only through short-lived signed links. We keep your data while your account is active and delete it on request.

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a portable copy of your data, and object to processing. Contact privacy@pimpmyhound.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
