Last updated: 20 October 2026
1. Data controller

2. What we process and why
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Managing appointment requests and answering enquiries | Name, phone, email, pet details and reason for the visit | Consent and pre-contractual measures (art. 6.1.a and 6.1.b GDPR) | Up to 1 year from the last contact if no relationship is formed |
| Providing veterinary services and invoicing | Identification and contact details, tax data, the animal's clinical record | Performance of a contract and legal obligation (art. 6.1.b and 6.1.c GDPR) | Throughout the relationship and 6 years after the last invoice |
| Sending reminders about appointments, vaccinations, deworming and check-ups by WhatsApp, text message or email, which may be sent automatically | Name, phone, email, the animal's name and the dates of its appointments and treatments | Your consent, given by ticking the reminders box on the form or at the clinic (art. 6.1.a GDPR) | Until you withdraw your consent, which you can do at any time by replying “STOP” to the message or writing to vetdrecabezas@gmail.com |
| Marketing communications | Name and email | Explicit consent (art. 6.1.a GDPR) | Until consent is withdrawn |
We do not process special categories of personal data. Clinical data relates to the animal, not to its owner.
3. Recipients
We do not share your data with third parties except where legally required. Our practice management software, web hosting, web form delivery (FormSubmit), email, messaging and automated reminder tools, and accountancy providers act as processors under article 28 GDPR agreements. Where your insurance policy requires it, and with your authorisation, we will send the insurer the reports and invoices needed. Some providers may carry out international transfers covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
4. Your rights
You may exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability, and withdraw your consent, at any time by writing to vetdrecabezas@gmail.com or by visiting either clinic with proof of identity. If you believe your request has not been handled properly, you may lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (www.aepd.es).
5. Security
We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or alteration: per-user access control, encrypted communications, daily backups and staff training in data protection.
6. Minors
The services offered through this site are aimed at people over the age of 14. We do not knowingly collect data from younger children without their guardians' consent.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect legal changes or new services. The version in force is always the one published on this page, with its update date.
