Privacy Policy
The New Pet Times treats your personal data with care and follows applicable privacy laws. This policy explains what we collect during reservation, application, and use of the service, and how it is used and protected.
1. What we collect
We collect only the minimum needed to provide the service.
- When you reserve or apply — your name, email address, and pet details (name, breed, birthday, etc. — optional)
- When you use the service — the photos you upload, your interview answers, and your story content
- At payment — information needed for payment (handled by a payment processor; card numbers are not stored by us)
- Collected automatically — access logs, device/browser info, and cookies (for improvements and analytics)
2. How we use it
- To receive and guide your reservation or application
- To provide the service, including hardcover production and shipping
- To respond to inquiries and send notices
- To improve service quality and run analytics
3. Retention
In principle, we delete data without delay once its purpose is fulfilled. Where the law requires retention (e.g., contract and payment records under e-commerce law), we keep it for the required period.
If you request deletion, we erase any data we are not legally required to keep, without delay.
4. Sharing with third parties
We never provide or sell your personal data to outside parties without your consent, except where required by law.
5. Processing entrusted to others
To run the service, some tasks — payment processing, shipping, printing and production, and email delivery — may be entrusted to outside providers. We manage and supervise them to keep your data safe, and the specific providers will be listed here in time for launch.
6. Protecting your photos and content
The photos and memories you provide are kept as private records and are never published, shared, or used as examples without your explicit consent. We never invent facts you didn't share as if they were real memories.
7. Your rights
You can request to access, correct, delete, or stop the processing of your personal data at any time. Contact the privacy officer below and we'll handle it without delay.
8. Deletion
Once the retention period passes or the purpose is fulfilled, data is destroyed without delay — electronic files are erased irrecoverably, and printouts are shredded or incinerated.
9. Security measures
We take reasonable safeguards to protect personal data, including access controls, encryption in transit, and access logging.
