We follow the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), as updated by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
We do not ask for “special category” information about you, such as health details.

| Accounts, invoices, tax and accounting records | Legal obligation, and contract | 6 years after the order, as the law requires for financial records |
| Answering your questions and sorting out problems | Legitimate interests (running our business and helping customers) | As long as needed to deal with your enquiry, normally no more than 24 months |
| Preventing fraud and keeping the site secure | Legitimate interests | Security logs are kept for a short period, then deleted |
| Understanding how the site is used so we can improve it | Legitimate interests, and your consent where cookies need it (see section 7) | Analytics data is kept for a limited period set in our analytics settings |
| Saving your card for next time | Your consent (you choose at checkout) | Until you remove it from your account |
| Marketing emails or texts (see section 8) | Your consent | Until you ask us to stop |
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that has a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
Some of the companies above (for example Google, Stripe, PayPal and Automattic) may process information in countries outside the UK, including the United States. Where they do, the transfer is covered by a safeguard approved under UK law, such as the UK-US data bridge or the ICO’s International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum.
The website uses HTTPS encryption, payments are handled by regulated providers, and access to our systems is limited to the people who need it. No system is completely secure, but we work to keep your information protected and will tell you and the Information Commissioner’s Office if a breach puts your rights at risk.
Cookies are small files stored on your device. The law (PECR) lets us use some without asking you because they are needed to provide the service you ask for. For others we need your consent, or must give you a simple way to say no.
| What | Purpose | Do we ask first? |
|---|---|---|
| Basket and login woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart, wp_woocommerce_session_*, WordPress login cookies. These last for your visit or a couple of days. | Keep your basket, sign you in and keep checkout working | No, they are strictly necessary |
| Recently viewed products woocommerce_recently_viewed | Remember the products you looked at so we can show them to you again | No, it is a feature you see on the site |
| Payment security Stripe (__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid) and PayPal, set on cart and checkout pages | Prevent card fraud and make payments work | No, they are needed to take a safe payment |
| Your light or dark theme choice stored in your browser as “dlTheme” | Remember whether you chose the light or dark look | No, it only stores the choice you made |
| How you arrived WooCommerce order attribution (sbjs_*), kept for up to 6 months | Shows us roughly which links or searches lead to orders, so we can see what works | Used for statistics only. You can block it in your browser |
| Site statistics Google Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) and Jetpack Stats | Count visits and see which pages are useful | Google Analytics is set to run without cookies unless you give consent. If we add cookie-based analytics, we will ask you first |
Images on the site are delivered through Jetpack’s image network, which means your IP address is seen by that service when a page loads. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and Google offers an opt-out for Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Blocking the necessary cookies will stop the basket and checkout working.
We only send marketing emails or texts if you have asked us to, or in line with the “soft opt-in” rules for existing customers, and every message has a simple way to unsubscribe. Order and delivery messages are not marketing, so you will still get them. We also post offers on our Facebook page, which is covered by Facebook’s own privacy policy.
You have the right to:
To use any of these rights, email info@dogsliferawfood.co.uk. We will normally reply within one month, and we do not charge a fee. We may need to check who you are before we release information.
If you are unhappy with how we have used your information, please tell us first at info@dogsliferawfood.co.uk, by phone on 07971 980071, in writing or by message on our Facebook page. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days, look into it without undue delay and tell you the outcome.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, telephone 0303 123 1113.
Our website is for adults buying food for their pets. It is not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you think a child has given us information, please tell us and we will delete it.
The site links to other websites, such as Google reviews and Facebook. We do not control them and are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies when you visit.
We update this page when our practices or the law change. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. If we make an important change, we will say so on the website.
Tell us about your dog and we'll work out a daily starting amount of complete raw food, how to split it into meals, and how much you'll need each month.
This is a guide for complete raw food, not veterinary advice. Every dog is different, so weigh your dog every couple of weeks and adjust to keep a healthy body shape. If your dog has a health condition, is pregnant or nursing, please ask your vet.
