Forgotten Animals will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to protect the personal information that it holds from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

No data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Forgotten Animals cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us over the internet, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to try to ensure its security both on our systems and while in transit between our systems and the systems of the companies who provide us with various services.
Forgotten Animals will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to destroy or de-identify personal information should Forgotten Animals no longer need the information and the information is no longer required to be kept by law or an order of a court/tribunal.
