Last updated: July 17, 2026

At Pet Rescue Blog, accessible from https://www.petrescueblog.com/, protecting the privacy of our visitors matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used, in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who We Are

Pet Rescue Blog is operated by Mian Ahaan, 57 Wellington Road, Wolverhampton. For any privacy-related question, contact us at [email protected].

This policy applies to our website only. It does not cover information collected offline or through any other channel.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Contact form submissions. If you contact us directly, we may collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
• Newsletter sign ups. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and, if provided, your name, in order to send you updates.
• Comments. If you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name, email address, and website (if provided), consistent with standard WordPress comment functionality.
• Log files. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time stamps, and referring or exit pages. This data is not linked to your identity and is used to maintain site security and understand aggregate traffic patterns.
• Cookies. See our Cookie Policy for full detail on what cookies we use and how to manage your preferences.

We rely on the following lawful bases to process personal data:

• Consent, for non-essential cookies, analytics, advertising, and newsletter sign ups. You can withdraw consent at any time through our cookie preference settings or by unsubscribing from emails.
• Legitimate interest, for responding to contact form enquiries and maintaining basic site security through log files.

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the site
• Understand how visitors use our content, so we can improve it
• Respond to enquiries sent through our contact form
• Send newsletter updates to those who have opted in
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse

We do not sell personal data to third parties.

How Long We Keep Your Information

• Contact form submissions are retained for as long as needed to resolve your enquiry, and no longer than 12 months.
• Newsletter subscriber data is kept until you unsubscribe.
• Comment data is retained for as long as the comment remains published, unless you request its removal.

Third-Party Services We Use

These providers may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where this happens, transfers are carried out under appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, as required by UK data protection law.

We do not control the cookies or data practices of these third parties directly. Please review their own privacy policies for full detail.

• Data portability, to receive your data in a portable format or have it transferred directly

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK’s supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk, if you believe your data has been mishandled.
