Online access is provided for the purpose of providing data and/or accessing data in order to reunite a lost animal on the Petlog database. An animal professional is an individual or authorised employee of the following organisation types and referred to within these terms and conditions as the ‘Authorised Agent’.

Authorised agent organisation types:

• Local authority
• Police

Access to an online account by an authorised agent is on the condition that you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions or any revision thereof, and The Kennel Club reserves the right to withdraw access at any time without notice if these terms and conditions are not adhered to.

You must not pass your login details to any other party. Access will be allocated to one individual only; any additional members of staff wishing to gain access must apply separately. These Terms and Conditions must be brought to the attention of all your employees.

Where any individual in the employment of an authorised agent with authorised access to the database that is no longer in the employment of the authorised agent, The Kennel Club must be informed immediately, whereupon that access authorisation will be deleted.

If you choose, or you are provided with, a user identification code, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any third party. We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms and conditions.

Keeper and pet information must only be utilised for the reuniting of stray or lost animals and for no other reason. The Kennel Club does not accept responsibility for any act that may occur arising from the misuse of this information.

The information is confidential and is the property and copyright of The Kennel Club. The data supplied by you must not be used or be made available to any other party other than authorised agents searching details of a pet’s owner by a named authorised agent i.e. dog warden, vet surgery, police authority.

The data is believed to be accurate at the time it is supplied to The Kennel Club by third parties.

The Kennel Club accepts full responsibility for holding this information under the terms of the Data Protection Acts 2018 and General Data Protection Regulation.

The information you provide will be held on the Petlog database for the duration of the animal's lifetime. You are responsible for the accuracy of all information which you may input.

There are currently several microchip databases that are compliant with the compulsory microchipping regulations. DEFRA requires as part of the legislation for all compliant microchip databases to provide each other the means to identify which database a microchip is held.

When you enter a microchip number into Petlog’s 'Look Up a Microchip service', the number is checked against Petlog’s database and an enquiry is also made to the other databases, this may take several seconds in order to be completed.

If the number is valid and the microchip can be located, the status of the microchip, plus name and contact details of the database(s) is returned. Please note only the microchip number is checked and no personal data on the owner/keeper or animal is shared.

It is possible a microchip number may be known to one or more databases, in this scenario you will need to contact all the listed databases in order to identify which database has the most up to date information.

Should we be unable to contact one or more of the databases at any given time, we will try to determine which database it should be located on by premise of the manufacturer prefix number.
