When you complete the ‘Registrationr’ form on our website

When we conduct a personal interview with you during a home check to assess your suitability to foster or adopt a spaniel through SARR

When you contact us or we contact you in connection with either of the above

3. How do we use your personal data and what are our legal justifications for doing so?

We use your personal data according to what you have volunteered for via our web site: Fostering or adopting a dog

We use your data to match you with a dog needing foster care or adoption Dogs needing foster care or adoption can have complex needs, over and above those that any dog may need. It is important therefore that we determine the best home and family environment the meet the needs of a particular dog. For example, a dog that has been mistreated by males might be very fearful and/or aggressive towards males. We would therefore seek a home with females only.

Transporting Dogs

We use your data to identify the area of the country in which you live (so that we only request your help in areas to which it reasonable for you to travel), your contact details and the vehicle you will use for transporting; we also have to check that you have a current driving licence and insurance.

If you have adopted a spaniel through SARR, we rely on our contractual arrangements with you as the lawful basis on which we collect and process your personal data.

4. Who do we share your personal data with?

We will never sell any of your personal data to a third party. We do not share your data with other organisations, except at your request (for example, if you have applied to another rescue, as well as SARR, you might ask us to share data we gathered when we carried out your home check).
