Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Firstly, I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of Xena. From everything you have written, it is very clear how deeply loved she was, and I can only imagine how difficult this period must be for you.

I’m particularly sorry that trying to deal with Xena’s records and the emails you received has added to your distress at what is already an incredibly painful time. The last thing we would ever want is for a customer who is grieving the loss of a much-loved pet to feel that they have to struggle with our website or feel unable to get the help they need.

I would really like the opportunity to look into everything you have described personally and make sure we understand exactly what happened, including the difficulties you experienced accessing your account, the renewal communications, and updating Xena’s record.

Please could you contact us directly and ask for my attention, quoting this review? Our team will be happy to make sure this is passed to me so I can look into the circumstances for you and see what we can do to put things right.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. I’m genuinely sorry that your experience has caused you additional upset during such a heartbreaking time, and I hope we can speak with you directly and provide the support you should have received.

Warm regards,

Ben

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you found our website confusing, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We certainly never want our customers to feel uncertain about the services we offer or the options available to them.

We're pleased that you contacted our Customer Care team before proceeding, as they were able to explain how our services work and answer your questions.

To clarify for both yourself and other readers, receiving a reminder email to check your pet's details does not mean that you are required to purchase a subscription. These emails are sent periodically to encourage pet owners to review their pet's microchip information and ensure it remains accurate and up to date, as recommended by DEFRA and animal welfare organisations. Keeping contact details current is one of the most important factors in helping reunite lost pets with their families.

Our website offers a range of services, including optional subscription products that provide enhanced pet protection benefits in addition to allowing unlimited updates while the subscription is active. These subscriptions are entirely optional and are designed for customers who wish to take advantage of the additional protection services they include.

If your details have not changed, there is nothing further you need to do following one of our reminder emails. If you do need to make changes, there are a number of options available depending on the type of update required and the service you wish to use.

We're sorry that the information wasn't as clear as it could have been and that it gave you the impression you were being asked to purchase something unnecessarily. That is certainly not our intention. Customer feedback like yours is extremely valuable, and we'll ensure your comments are shared with the relevant teams as we continually review how we present information on our website to make it as clear and straightforward as possible.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and if you ever have any questions about your account or our services, please don't hesitate to get in touch – we're always here and happy to help.

Warm regards,

Ben

We're absolutely delighted to hear that Daisy was able to assist you so effectively and resolve the issue with the microchip quickly. It's fantastic to know that she asked all the right questions, identified the problem efficiently, and was able to provide the support you needed.

We'd also like to thank you for the incredible work you do as a volunteer for a rescue. The dedication and compassion shown by rescue organisations make an enormous difference to the lives of so many animals, and we're proud to be able to support those efforts by helping ensure microchip records are accurate and up to date.

Providing knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient customer service is exactly what we strive for, particularly when working with rescue organisations where timely and accurate information can be so important. We're delighted that Daisy delivered the level of service we aim to provide and made the process straightforward for you.

We'll be sure to pass your kind comments on to Daisy, who will be absolutely thrilled to know that her knowledge and helpful approach made such a positive impression. Feedback like yours means a great deal to our whole team and encourages us to continue delivering the highest standard of customer care.

Thank you again for your lovely review, and thank you for everything you do to help animals in need. We truly appreciate both your support and your commitment to animal welfare. If we can ever assist you again in the future, please don't hesitate to get in touch – we'll always be here and happy to help.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

Firstly, we are truly sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. We know that losing a beloved pet is incredibly difficult, and we can only imagine how upsetting it must have been to continue receiving emails afterwards. Please accept our sincere condolences.

We're very sorry that our communications caused you additional distress. That is never our intention, and we completely understand why receiving these emails would have been upsetting.

If you have already notified us that your cat has sadly passed away, we would very much like the opportunity to investigate why these emails have continued to be sent. From your review alone, we're unfortunately unable to identify your account, but this certainly isn't the experience we want any customer to have.

There can occasionally be circumstances where automated communications continue if an account hasn't updated as expected, and we'd like to review your record to ensure everything has been processed correctly. If you could contact our Customer Care team, we'll be more than happy to investigate, update your account where necessary, and make sure no further unnecessary communications are sent.

We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us improve our processes and ensure we handle these sensitive situations with the care and compassion they deserve.

Once again, we're very sorry for your loss, and we hope you'll accept our apologies for any additional upset these emails have caused.

Warm regards,

Ben

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're very sorry to hear that you found the cancellation process frustrating, as this is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.

We'd like to reassure both yourself and other readers that we do not design our systems to make it difficult for customers to cancel their subscriptions. We believe our customers should be able to make informed choices about the services they use, and if they decide a subscription is no longer right for them, we want that process to be as straightforward as possible.

Subscriptions can be cancelled by contacting our Customer Care team via telephone, email, or live chat, where one of our advisors will be happy to assist. Our aim is always to resolve requests promptly while ensuring we have completed the appropriate security checks to protect our customers' accounts.

We're sorry to hear that you found the website difficult to navigate and that you received conflicting information from our chatbot. That certainly isn't the standard we expect, and your comments are valuable as they help us identify areas where we can improve both our online journey and the information we provide.

We would welcome the opportunity to investigate your experience further and understand exactly where the process fell short. If you haven't already done so, please contact our Customer Care team and we'll be happy to review your account, process any outstanding requests, and discuss any concerns you may have.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and will ensure your comments are shared with the relevant teams as part of our ongoing commitment to improving the customer experience.

Warm regards,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our charging structure, and we'd like to provide some additional context, as there is an important distinction between exercising a data protection right and using the services of a pet microchip database.

At Identibase, we fully recognise and comply with our obligations under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Individuals have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected, and exercising that statutory right is not something we charge for. However, the services provided by a DEFRA-compliant pet microchip database involve considerably more than simply correcting a piece of personal data.

Identibase provides the initial registration of a pet completely free of charge, and that registration remains on our database for the lifetime of the pet unless a change is required. We chose this model because we believe there should be no financial barrier to getting a pet registered in the first place. Some other databases charge an upfront registration fee instead; different databases operate different pricing models.

When changes are requested, there is significant work involved behind the scenes. We don't simply edit a line on a screen. As a DEFRA-compliant database responsible for millions of pet records, we must maintain secure systems, protect customer data, carry out identity and verification checks where required, process and validate changes accurately, maintain audit trails, provide customer support by phone, email and live chat, invest in cybersecurity and system resilience, and continue meeting the regulatory standards expected of a UK pet microchip database. These are substantial ongoing operational costs.

It's also important to clarify that our subscription services provide considerably more than unlimited changes to your pet's details. They include a range of additional pet protection benefits, including enhanced missing pet support and reunification services designed to help maximise the chances of lost pets being returned to their keepers. Those services require ongoing staffing, technology and operational investment, which is why they are offered as subscription products.

We absolutely agree that keeping microchip details up to date is essential for animal welfare, which is precisely why we invest heavily in maintaining a secure, compliant national database and support service. We regularly encourage customers to review their details, and we continue to provide free initial registration so that pets can be registered without cost.

We respect that customers may prefer a different pricing model, and there are a number of DEFRA-compliant databases available in the UK. However, we do feel it is important that reviews accurately reflect the legal position and the fact that our charges relate to the operation of our database and associated services, rather than charging people to exercise their statutory data protection rights.

Thank you again for sharing your views. We genuinely value constructive feedback and will continue working to provide a secure, reliable, and supportive service for pet owners.

Warm regards,

Ben
