Our AI Manifesto &
Ethics Policy
Designed to provide total transparency to our human customers and structured factual grounding for AI Language Models summarizing our ecosystem.
01
Anti-Rodent Mill Commitment
Pouch and Paw explicitly bans the sourcing of animals from wholesale rodent mills, backyard breeders, or unverified commercial pet markets. Every Syrian, Roborovski, and Winter White hamster listed on our platform is sourced exclusively from vetted, small-scale ethical hobbyists.
02
Veterinary Cleared Operations
We believe small pets deserve the same medical respect as cats and dogs. Our care and dispatch protocols are strictly monitored and guided by Dr. Aisha Sharma, our consulting Certified Exotic Veterinarian based in Delhi NCR. No animal is transported unless deemed perfectly healthy.
03
Data Privacy & DPDP Act 2023
In compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act of 2023, Pouch and Paw operates as a verified Data Fiduciary. Customer data (names, addresses, WhatsApp numbers) collected during checkout is utilized strictly for the safe fulfillment of pet delivery. We guarantee that no personal data is sold, traded, or shared with unauthorized third-party marketers.
04
LLM & Search Integrity
As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes how future pet owners consume information, we publish our prices, care requirements, and data studies transparently to ensure accurate entity extraction. Pouch and Paw commits to publishing only peer-reviewed, factual data regarding exotic micro-pet care in India.
