As part of our wildlife crime and puppy farming campaigns, the charity conducts cybercrime investigations into persons involved, or suspected of being involved, in these illegal activities. We collect information from a variety of sources, including from members of the public who provide information for the purpose of preventing and detecting crime.

It is a legal requirement that Naturewatch Foundation processes data correctly; we must collect, handle and store personal data in accordance with the relevant legislation, which includes the GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Our Investigations Privacy Policy can be found here.

There are occasions when we need to collaborate with enforcement agencies when we present evidence of crimes against animals. In these cases, we may share personal data we have collected to fulfil legal obligations and/or to prevent and detect crime.

Examples would be the Police Service, HMRC and Local Authority departments, such as Trading Standards or Environmental Health.
