1. Who we are
woopf.com is operated by Australian Premium Animal Products Ltd, Office B3, 12/F, Causeway Bay Commercial Building, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong ("WOOPF™", "we"). We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. The same company runs PURRZ™ and ASK A VET™; each has its own privacy policy, and section 13 explains how the brands relate. Questions and requests: hello@woopf.com with "Privacy" in the subject.
2. The short version
We collect what we need to take, deliver and support your order, what you choose to tell us about yourself and your dog, and data about how you use the site. We share it only with the companies that help us run the store, listed by name in section 5. We never sell it. We keep order records for as long as tax law requires and the rest for as long as it is useful, with the periods in section 9. You can see, correct, delete or take your data, object to marketing and withdraw consent by emailing us, wherever you live.
3. What we collect, and where it comes from
From you: name, email address, delivery and billing address, phone number, the contents and history of your orders, order notes, messages you send us by email, form or chat, reviews and the photos in them, newsletter and SMS sign-ups, and the details you give in ambassador or trade applications. About your dog, when you give them: breed, weight, age, birthday and behaviour, used to recommend sizes and products. From your browser and device, automatically: IP address and approximate location, device and browser type, the pages you view, searches, cart and checkout events, and the referring ad or link, collected through the cookies and pixels in section 7, plus session replay of how visitors move through pages. From others: payment providers confirm whether a payment succeeded and give us the payment method and last four digits; carriers give us delivery scans; advertising platforms tell us which ad brought you; Shopify provides the account you log in with. We do not receive or store full card numbers, and we do not store passwords, because login is by a one-time code sent to your email.
4. What we use it for, and on what basis
To take, deliver and support your order and answer your messages (performance of our contract with you). To recommend sizes and products from what you tell us about your dog and what you have bought (our legitimate interest in running a useful store, and your consent where we ask for it). To send email and, if you opt in, SMS marketing (your consent, or the existing-customer rule where the law allows it; every message has an unsubscribe link, and section 8 has the detail). To measure how the site and our advertising perform and to show you our advertising on other platforms (your consent where the law requires it, otherwise our legitimate interest, with the choices in section 7). To prevent fraud, keep the store secure and keep the records the law requires (legal obligation and legitimate interest). We do not make decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects.
5. Who we share it with
Shopify Inc., which runs the store, checkout, customer accounts, Shop Pay and analytics and hosts our data. Payment providers: Shop Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and the card processor, which receive your payment details directly. Our warehouse in Shenzhen, China, and the carriers that deliver, which receive your name, address, phone number and the contents of the parcel; customs authorities may see the same. Klaviyo (email and SMS marketing, and on-site tracking of subscribers). Zendesk (chat and support). Judge.me (reviews). Lucky Orange (heatmaps and session replay). Google (Analytics, Ads and Tag Manager for measurement and advertising). hCaptcha and Google reCAPTCHA (the anti-bot check on forms). Meta Platforms (the Meta pixel and Conversions API for advertising measurement and audiences on Facebook and Instagram). TikTok (the TikTok pixel, for the same purpose on TikTok). Social Snowball (the ambassador programme). SparkLayer (trade accounts). Professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires disclosure. If the business is sold or merged, your data goes with it under this policy. Each service provider acts under a contract that limits it to our instructions; the advertising platforms also use the data they receive for their own purposes under their own policies. We do not sell personal data for money. Advertising pixels do share browsing data with Meta, Google and TikTok, which some laws treat as "sharing" or a "sale"; section 7 says how to stop it.
6. Where your data goes
We are in Hong Kong, our warehouse is in mainland China, Shopify stores our data in North America, and the other companies in section 5 process data in the United States and the European Union. Where data leaves the country you are in, we rely on the transfer safeguards the law provides, including standard contractual clauses in our contracts with providers, and on the protections in this policy.
7. Cookies, pixels and similar technologies
Essential: Shopify's cookies for the cart, login, country and currency, security and fraud prevention, and the anti-bot check (hCaptcha or Google reCAPTCHA) on forms. These cannot be switched off. Analytics: Shopify analytics, Google Analytics, Judge.me and Lucky Orange, which records mouse movement, clicks, scrolling and page views to show us where the site confuses people; text typed into forms is masked and the payment page is not recorded. Advertising: the Meta pixel and Conversions API, the TikTok pixel, Google Ads tags and Klaviyo on-site tracking, which measure our advertising and let us show our ads to people who visited the store. Your choices: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland a cookie banner asks before analytics and advertising cookies are set, and you can change your answer from the footer; in California and other US states with a right to opt out of sale or sharing, the "Do not sell or share my personal information" link in the footer does that, and a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser is treated the same way; everywhere, your browser can block or delete cookies, and Meta, Google and TikTok each offer ad settings of their own. We do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals, because there is no agreed standard for them.
8. Marketing
We send email marketing to people who subscribe or who buy from us and do not opt out, and SMS only to people who opt in to it separately. Every email and SMS has an unsubscribe route, and you can also email us to stop. Opting out of marketing does not stop order and delivery emails. We do not currently upload customer lists to advertising platforms to build audiences; if that changes, this section will say so first.
9. How long we keep it
Order, payment and invoice records: seven years after the order, because tax and accounting law requires it. Your account: until you ask us to delete it. Messages and chat transcripts: two years after the last message. Marketing profiles: until you unsubscribe or two years after you last opened or clicked, whichever is first. Reviews: while the product is sold, or until you ask for yours to be removed. Session replay recordings: thirty days. Analytics data: up to fourteen months in identifiable form, aggregated after that.
10. How we protect it
Payments are processed by PCI DSS compliant providers and we never hold full card numbers. Login is by one-time code, so there is no password to steal. Access to customer data inside the business is limited to the people who need it to serve you. Every provider in section 5 is bound by contract to protect what it receives. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; if a breach ever affects your data, we will tell you and the regulator as the law requires.
11. Your rights, and how to use them
Wherever you live, you can ask us what personal data we hold about you and receive a copy in a portable format; have it corrected; have it deleted, except what tax and accounting law makes us keep; object to marketing or to processing based on legitimate interest; restrict processing while a complaint is resolved; withdraw a consent at any time; and opt out of the sharing described in section 7. Your orders and account details are also visible at woopf.com/account. Email hello@woopf.com with "Privacy" in the subject, or write to the address in section 1. We may ask you to confirm your identity, usually by replying from the email address on the account. We answer within thirty days. We will never treat you differently for using these rights. If you are unhappy with our answer, you can complain to the privacy regulator where you live: in Hong Kong the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, in Australia the OAIC, in the United Kingdom the ICO, in the European Union your national data protection authority, and in California the Attorney General or the California Privacy Protection Agency.
12. Children
The store is for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under sixteen, and we delete it if we learn we have.
13. Your dog, and the other brands
What you tell us about your dog is used to recommend sizes and products and is kept with your customer record; it is not health data and we do not treat it as such. Health records, medical history and anything you tell a vet belong in the ASK A VET™ app, which has its own privacy policy and is where the Smart ID Tag and the GPS tracker create their profiles when you activate them. WOOPF™, PURRZ™ and ASK A VET™ are run by the same company. We do not use your WOOPF™ details to market PURRZ™ or ASK A VET™ to you unless you have opted in to hear from them, and each brand's list is kept separate.
14. Changes, and how to reach us
When this policy changes in a way that matters, we email account holders and subscribers before the change takes effect and update the effective date above; small corrections are made on the page. Questions, requests and complaints: hello@woopf.com with "Privacy" in the subject, the contact form at woopf.com/pages/contact, or post to Australian Premium Animal Products Ltd, Office B3, 12/F, Causeway Bay Commercial Building, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
