2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data through the following channels:

• Waitlist Sign-up: Name, email address, and whether you are joining as a pet owner or a prospective carer, when you submit our waitlist form.
• Contact via WhatsApp or Email: Name and message content when you contact us directly.

We do not collect payment information at this stage. MiCompanio is currently in pre-launch and no bookings or transactions are processed through this website.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

• To add you to our launch waitlist and notify you when MiCompanio goes live in August 2026.
• To send you relevant pre-launch updates about the platform, if you have consented.
• To respond to your enquiries about becoming a carer or using the platform as a pet owner.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: When you submit the waitlist form, you consent to us storing your contact details and sending you launch-related communications. You can withdraw this consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests: We may process enquiry data to respond to questions and maintain basic business records, where this does not override your rights.

You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing anjana@micompanio.com and we will remove you from the waitlist immediately.

5. Storage and Retention

Your personal data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and access controls. We retain waitlist data until MiCompanio launches and for up to 12 months thereafter, or until you request deletion, whichever comes sooner. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting anjana@micompanio.com.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights:

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You can request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure: You can request deletion of your data at any time.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Data Portability: You can request your data in a structured, commonly used format.
• Right to Object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at anjana@micompanio.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your personal data:

• Base44 (website hosting and waitlist database) — stores waitlist form submissions securely.
• WhatsApp Business — used for direct carer enquiries only, subject to Meta's own privacy terms.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

8. International Data Transfers

Where third-party service providers store or process data outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in line with GDPR requirements.

9. Cookies

Our website uses only essential functional cookies. For full details please see our Cookie Policy.
