Your dog’s name stays in your browser.

The Data Fiduciary under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”), and the controller under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), is Pawgrins, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India (“we”), reachable at pawgrins@gmail.com.

This notice is also published under Rule 4 of the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011.

This website sets no cookies. It uses no analytics, advertising or social-media tracking technology. Its fonts and pictures load from its own server.

Our hosting provider, Hostinger, keeps routine logs of requests to the website. These may include your IP address, the page requested, the date and time, and your browser type. They are used only to keep the website secure and running.

If you type a dog’s name or complete a handover card, the website stores that text in your browser’s local storage under the keys “pawgrins.dogName” and “pawgrins.handover”. It is not transmitted to us and we cannot read it.

It remains until you clear it with the “Forget it” button above or through your browser’s settings. It reaches us only if you choose to include it in a message.

The enquiry form asks for your name, email address, country and area of interest, and optionally your phone number, your dog’s name and a message. The free-trial form asks for your name, phone number, area in Ahmedabad and your dog’s name, and optionally your email address, your dog’s age and a message. The “Get featured” form asks for your name, email address, country, city and the kind of work you run, and optionally a web address and a message. Every form has a consent box, which is never ticked for you.

At present no form service is connected. When you complete a form, the website shows you the drafted note and a button that opens your email application with it addressed to pawgrins@gmail.com. Nothing leaves your browser until you send it from there. Your email provider handles that message under its own terms until it reaches our mailbox. If we connect a form service, we will name it in this notice first.

We process the personal data you send on the basis of your consent (section 6, DPDP Act; Article 6(1)(a), GDPR), in order to reply to your enquiry, to arrange a free training session you have asked for, to consider featuring work you have told us about and, where you have asked, to tell you about the opening of Pawgrins.

Server logs are processed for the security of the website (Article 6(1)(f), GDPR). We do not use your personal data for profiling, automated decision-making or advertising.

We do not sell personal data or share it for advertising. A request for the free training session is passed to Vijay Rochani, who runs the sessions, so that it can be arranged. Our hosting provider (Hostinger), our mailbox provider (Gmail, from Google) may handle personal data on our behalf. We may disclose personal data where the law requires it.

Our hosting and mailbox providers work internationally, so your data may be stored or read outside your country. If you are in the EEA or the UK, we rely on your explicit consent or on steps you have asked us to take (Article 49(1)(a) and (b), GDPR). Websites we link to have their own notices.

We keep personal data only for as long as the purpose you gave it for requires, or until you withdraw consent, whichever comes first, unless a law requires us to keep it longer (section 8(7), DPDP Act). We then erase it. Server logs are kept for the period our hosting provider retains them.

You may access, correct, complete, update or erase your personal data, withdraw consent at any time, nominate another person to exercise your rights, and seek redress (sections 6 and 11 to 14, DPDP Act). Withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before it.

If the GDPR applies to you, you also have the rights of restriction, objection and portability (Articles 15 to 21). To use any of these rights, write to the Grievance Officer below. On request we will give you this notice in English or in any language listed in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India.

We do not knowingly seek personal data from anyone under 18, and we do not track or target children (section 9, DPDP Act). A person under 18 should ask a parent or lawful guardian to write to us. If we learn that we hold a child’s data without verifiable parental consent, we will erase it.

This website is a set of static pages served over an encrypted connection, and it keeps no database of visitors. We maintain reasonable security practices for our hosting and mailbox accounts (section 43A, Information Technology Act, 2000; section 8(5), DPDP Act).

No system is perfectly secure. If a personal data breach affects you, we will inform you and the Data Protection Board of India as the law requires.

Grievance Officer: Sameer Aasht, Founder, Pawgrins, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Email: pawgrins@gmail.com.

We will acknowledge a complaint within 48 hours and resolve it within one month. After writing to us, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India (sections 13 and 27, DPDP Act) or, if the GDPR applies to you, to the supervisory authority where you live (Article 77).

We will update this notice before any change in how we handle personal data takes effect, including before we add any analytics, cookie or form service. Where a change needs your consent, we will ask for it. Last updated 8 November 2026.
