Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your information

Last updated: July 26, 2026

At PetLoza, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, including name, email, phone number, payment information, and pet details. We also collect usage data and device information automatically.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and improve our services, process transactions, communicate with you, ensure platform safety, and comply with legal obligations.

Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data to perform our contract with you, comply with legal obligations, protect legitimate marketplace safety interests, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and, where required, based on your consent.

Information Sharing

We share information with service providers, other users (as necessary for bookings), and when required by law. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Service Providers and Processors

We use trusted providers for hosting, analytics, email, customer support, payments, identity verification, fraud prevention, file storage, and communications. Stripe may process payment, payout, and KYC data under its own terms and privacy notices.

Payments, KYC, and Compliance Data

For payments, payouts, refunds, chargebacks, fraud prevention, sanctions checks, and sitter verification, we may process transaction details, identity status, Stripe account identifiers, and compliance outcomes. We do not store full card numbers.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption, secure servers, and regular security audits.

Retention

We keep account data while your account is active. After deletion, anonymized account/profile/pet records may remain to preserve booking integrity, while booking, payment, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute, support, and security records are kept only for required legal periods or legitimate claim and safety needs.

International Transfers

Some providers may process data outside Lithuania or the European Economic Area. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent legal protections.

Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies for login, security, routing, checkout, and saved preferences. Optional analytics events are used only after you accept analytics cookies and can be turned off again in Settings.

Your Rights

You have the right to be informed, access your data, correct inaccurate data, request erasure, restrict processing, object to certain processing, and request portability where GDPR conditions apply.

Exercising Your Rights

You can update profile details in Settings, delete your account from Settings > Preferences, or contact privacy@petloza.com for access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, or consent withdrawal requests. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Account Deletion

When you delete your account, PetLoza removes your original email from the active account record, revokes active sessions, disables login, and anonymizes core account, profile, and pet information. Some booking, payment, dispute, tax, security, and support records may be retained when required by law or needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Regulator Contact

If you believe your privacy rights have not been respected, you may contact us first or lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, including the Lithuanian State Data Protection Inspectorate where applicable.
