Failing to provide this data when requested may result in delay or inability to offer our services to you.   **What we do with your data** Once we receive your data either from you or the relocation company handling your move we process and store it internally in our Miami office. We’ll only keep your personal data as long as we need it and ensure it is securely destroyed when it is no longer required. If, at any point, we are made aware by you or by the transportation agent that any of your data is incorrect, immediate action will be taken to rectify this in our internal system and any agent we have shared data with will also be informed and instructed to amend their records accordingly. In the unlikely event of any data breach, we will inform you, the relocation company (if applicable) and, where required, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) immediately. If a request is made by you or the transportation agent (if applicable) your data can be sent to you in an easily read format.

Very often these puppies or kittens do not exist. When purchasing a puppy or kitten, please make sure that you are dealing with a legitimate company. --- #### Western Union and MoneyGram There are many unscrupulous who use email addresses that resemble our company (or one of many legitimate pet shipping companies) to try and get your to pay for pet shipping services they have no intention of providing. Here at My Pet Cab, we never ask for payments via Western Union or MoneyGram.
