Learn how Tail Stocks collects, uses, protects, and handles information when you use our wholesale marketplace, create an account, place an order, or communicate with our team.

Effective May 30, 2026

Your business information deserves responsible handling.

Tail Stocks respects the privacy of the businesses, customers, representatives, and individuals who use our marketplace. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, shared, and protected when you interact with Tail Stocks.

Tail Stocks is operated by PET MASTERS INC.

How we approach your information

Our privacy practices are designed around responsible collection, legitimate business use, and appropriate protection of customer information.

Purposeful Collection

We collect information that helps us operate the marketplace, process transactions, verify businesses, and serve our customers.

Responsible Protection

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

Reasonable Retention

Information is retained only as reasonably necessary for business, transaction, legal, accounting, security, and regulatory purposes.

01

Who We Are

Tail Stocks is a B2B wholesale marketplace operated by PET MASTERS INC. The marketplace is designed primarily for pet shops, veterinary clinics, resellers, online sellers, and other businesses purchasing pet products for resale or business use.

For purposes of applicable Philippine data protection laws, PET MASTERS INC. is responsible for personal information collected and processed through Tail Stocks where it determines the purposes and means of such processing.

We process personal information in accordance with applicable Philippine laws and regulations, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and its applicable implementing rules and regulations.

02

Information We May Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Tail Stocks. We may collect information that you provide directly to us, information generated through your use of the marketplace, and information received from service providers or other legitimate sources.

Name, email, mobile number, business name, account details, billing address, delivery address, and related contact information.

Business Verification

Business registration information, permits, tax information, business addresses, online business information, and other reasonable verification details.

Orders & Transactions

Products, quantities, prices, quotations, invoices, discounts, payment status, order history, refunds, claims, cancellations, and related records.

03

04

Business Verification

Tail Stocks may verify information submitted by customers when determining eligibility for wholesale access or other marketplace services.

Verification may include reviewing documents provided by the customer, reviewing publicly available business information, confirming information directly with the customer or its authorized representative, or using other reasonable verification methods.

Tail Stocks may request additional information where reasonably necessary to verify an account, prevent fraud, comply with legal requirements, or protect the marketplace.

05

Orders, Quotations & Transaction Records

Tail Stocks maintains records relating to orders and transactions for legitimate operational, accounting, customer service, tax, legal, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution purposes.

Because Tail Stocks operates a marketplace involving multiple partner suppliers, information relating to product availability, sourcing, consolidation, payments, deliveries, claims, and customer communications may form part of the transaction record.

Records may continue to be retained after an order has been completed, cancelled, refunded, or otherwise closed where reasonably necessary or legally required.

06

When Information May Be Shared

Information may be shared only where reasonably necessary for legitimate marketplace, transaction, delivery, payment, professional, security, or legal purposes.

Partner Suppliers When necessary for sourcing, fulfillment, availability, or claims.
Logistics Providers Recipient and shipment information necessary to deliver an order.
Payment Providers Information necessary to process, verify, investigate, or refund payments.
Authorized Services Providers and professional advisers supporting legitimate operations.

We aim to limit information shared with partner suppliers to information reasonably necessary for their role. Where a supplier does not need the identity or contact details of the end customer, Tail Stocks does not need to provide that information merely because the supplier participates in the transaction.

07

Payment Information

Tail Stocks may work with banks, payment gateways, payment processors, financial institutions, and other authorized payment service providers.

Information necessary to initiate, authenticate, complete, verify, refund, or investigate a payment may be exchanged with the applicable provider.

Where payment credentials are processed directly by an authorized payment provider, Tail Stocks may receive transaction information such as payment status, payment reference, amount, and payment method without receiving or retaining complete payment card credentials.

Payment providers may independently process certain information according to their own privacy policies, regulatory obligations, fraud prevention requirements, and security standards.

08

We Do Not Sell Personal Information

Tail Stocks does not sell or trade customers' personal information as a business product.

Your information is not our product.

Information is shared only where there is a legitimate business, transactional, legal, security, or other lawful purpose.

09

Fraud Prevention & Marketplace Security

Tail Stocks may process account, order, payment, transaction, device, technical, verification, and communication information where reasonably necessary to protect customers, PET MASTERS INC., partner suppliers, and the marketplace.

This may include identifying suspicious transactions, duplicate or fraudulent accounts, bogus orders, unauthorized payment activity, account misuse, attempted fraud, security threats, or violations of our Terms & Conditions.

Where reasonably necessary, Tail Stocks may request additional verification, restrict an account or transaction, or preserve relevant information for investigation or legal purposes.

10

Cookies & Website Information

The Tail Stocks website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate website functions, maintain user sessions, remember preferences, improve security, understand website usage, measure performance, and improve the customer experience.

Certain analytics, advertising, or measurement technologies may also be used where permitted by applicable law.

Browser settings may allow users to control or restrict certain cookies. Disabling cookies necessary for website operation may prevent some Tail Stocks features from functioning properly.

11

Marketing Communications

Where permitted by applicable law, Tail Stocks may use customer contact information to communicate relevant marketplace information, including new products, brands, promotions, Tail Points or rewards information, marketplace features, account updates, and other business related offers.

Customers may request to stop receiving optional promotional communications.

Operational communications necessary for an account or transaction, including order confirmations, payment requests, availability updates, delivery information, security notices, policy updates, and customer support communications, may still be sent where necessary.

12

Incomplete Orders & Follow Ups

If a customer begins an order, requests a quotation, submits information relating to a transaction, or otherwise expresses an intention to purchase but does not complete the transaction, Tail Stocks may use the information provided to follow up regarding the incomplete order or quotation.

Such communication may include assistance with completing the transaction, clarification of product availability, payment information, or other information directly related to the customer's request.

Customers may tell Tail Stocks if they no longer wish to receive follow ups regarding an incomplete transaction.

13

Legal & Regulatory Disclosures

PET MASTERS INC. may disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, subpoenas, tax requirements, regulatory obligations, or lawful requests from government or law enforcement authorities.

Information may also be used or disclosed where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, investigate suspected unlawful activity, enforce agreements, protect legal rights, or protect the safety and security of customers, employees, suppliers, and other persons.

14

Data Retention

PET MASTERS INC. retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, for legitimate business requirements, or as required or permitted by applicable law.

Different types of records may be retained for different periods. Transaction, invoice, accounting, tax, payment, corporate, security, and dispute records may need to be retained after a customer account is closed.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary and there is no lawful basis for continued retention, PET MASTERS INC. may securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of the information in accordance with applicable requirements.

15

Data Security

Information Protection

PET MASTERS INC. uses reasonable organizational, administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse, or destruction.

Access to information is limited where reasonably appropriate based on operational responsibilities and legitimate business needs.

No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can guarantee absolute security. Customers are also responsible for protecting their account credentials and should notify Tail Stocks promptly if they believe their account or information has been compromised.

16

Data Processing & Storage Locations

Tail Stocks may use service providers and infrastructure that process or store information in the Philippines or other jurisdictions.

Where personal information is transferred or processed outside the Philippines, PET MASTERS INC. will take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances to ensure that such processing is conducted consistently with applicable Philippine data protection requirements.

18

Correcting Your Information

Customers should maintain accurate and current account and business information.

If information is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, customers may update information through available account features or contact Tail Stocks for assistance.

Tail Stocks may request reasonable verification before making certain changes in order to protect the customer and prevent unauthorized modification of an account.

19

Account Closure & Privacy Requests

Customers may contact Tail Stocks to request closure of their marketplace account. Where legally applicable, customers may also request deletion or blocking of personal information.
