Cannot update details unless you upgrade! what a joke!

I have been asked to update my pets details if there was a change as I hadn't logged in for a while. So I logged on and tried to take out my landline number and replace with another mobile number. Apparently they won't do this unless I upgrade, which would work out at £15 per year. At the moment Im on basic which is free. I do not want or need to upgrade, I would just like them to make one amendment. Ive emailed them to tell them that its outrageous to say you have to upgrade to make a a simple deletion & amendment. Absolute shoddy service. I await their reply.....
31.7.26 - have read their reply. Answer me this: Why is it that other microchip companies allow you to change details when necessary free of charge? Ive also read quite a few of your 1*, 2* & 3* reviews, it would seem that we all have the same problem! It seems to me that every review has been answered by "Ben", is Ben "flesh & blood"? or are these "AI" answers that we are getting? Its all very well citing all the so called "legal jargon" which by the way is very confusing, but also being told you have to upgrade to make a simple amendment, comes across as bullying!

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

Newbie Daisy - AMAZINGG!!!

I called this afternoon as I was struggling to get my cats details transferred over to my name from her old owner, everyone I spoke to was amazing and the wait on the phone was never long but Daisy (if i remember her name correctly) was absolutely amazing! Considering she only started a 2 months ago she was able to figure everything out, resolve my problem effectively, communicated what the problem was, great amazing customer service and fix everything for me. She’s an absolute stand out star! Thank you so much, Rory and I are very grateful! <3

An absolute scam, avoid. Use MyPet instead

Require you to enter a £15 per year subscription model in order to do trivial things like update your address, which is illegal under right to rectification under UK and GDPR regulations.
This discourages people from keeping their pet's microchips up to date, thereby making the whole system pointless.
I'd recommend owners go with a free to update service like MyPet instead.

Sometimes you wonder if the microchip is still doing its job.
Peanut had his chip inserted by identibase as a puppy and I am pleased to say it’s still there after 8 years.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review!

We're delighted to hear that Peanut's microchip is still working perfectly after eight years. It's completely understandable to wonder from time to time whether a microchip is still in place and functioning, so it must have been incredibly reassuring to hear it scan immediately during his recent health check at the vets.

Microchips are designed to provide a permanent form of identification for pets, and having them routinely checked during veterinary visits is an excellent way to ensure everything is working as it should. It's fantastic to hear that Peanut's chip was detected straight away, giving you continued confidence that, should he ever become lost, he can be identified quickly and reunited with you.

Keeping your contact details up to date alongside a working microchip is one of the most important steps any pet owner can take, and we're proud to play a part in helping keep pets safe and improving the chances of successful reunification should the unexpected happen.

Thank you again for sharing your experience. We're so pleased that Peanut's microchip continues to provide you with that valuable peace of mind, and we wish you both many more happy, healthy years together.

Warm regards,

Identibase has been an amazing company for me so far, i did have my boy neutered and chipped a couple of months ago and i’m glad i have the peace of mind knowing i can find him if he gets lost. my cheeky boy loves going out on his harness to eat grass to eat grass, my boy loves his grass but it is very very comforting to know if by chance my boy gets lost by wanting to be cheeky and try and run out his harness or trying to be sneaky and run past me when i’m going out im so comforted to know he’s chipped just incase, and the last time i had a phone call with someone at identibase they were very helpful and very understanding of me and my situation which i’m so thankful that i’m understood

Misleading subscription terms and predatory cancellation policy

I registered for the Identibase Identialert membership after my cat went missing, as there was no clear way to report a missing pet on their website without joining the membership plan. What they make extremely unclear during signup is that you are agreeing to a 12-month contract.
When I realized this, I immediately emailed to cancel within the cooling-off period. I was told that because I had identified my cat as missing, I had used the service and was barred from canceling—even within the cooling-off window. I followed up by phone to see if a customer service representative could rectify this, but they refused to help.
They provide very little clarity on what you are actually paying for, and the lack of transparency around contract terms feels predatory—especially when pet owners are in a vulnerable, panicked state with a lost pet. Given that pet owners don't choose which microchip company their pet is registered with, being stuck with this service is even more frustrating.
Avoid their paid services if you possibly can.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience, particularly as we appreciate how distressing it is when a beloved pet goes missing.

Firstly, we're very sorry that you found yourself in that situation, and we sincerely hope your cat was found safe and well.

We would, however, like to provide some additional context regarding the service you purchased, as we feel this is important for other readers.

The service you signed up for was our enhanced Missing Pet Protection (IdentiAlert) subscription. This service provides considerably more than simply allowing you to report a missing pet. Once activated, it immediately initiates enhanced reunification support, including sending alerts to registered keepers within a 5-mile radius of where your pet was reported missing, as well as notifying participating pet professionals, such as veterinary practices and other relevant organisations, within a 20-mile radius. These immediate actions are designed to maximise the chances of a lost pet being reunited with its keeper as quickly as possible.

During the purchase process, customers can choose to pay either annually or by monthly instalments. From your account, it appears that you selected the monthly payment option, which forms part of a 12-month agreement. This information is presented during the purchase journey and is included within the terms and conditions accepted when the subscription is taken out.

You also mention the cooling-off period. Under consumer legislation, where a customer asks for a service to begin immediately and that service has been provided, the right to a full refund during the cooling-off period does not generally apply once the service has been used. In your case, the enhanced missing pet services were activated and the alert process commenced following your request. As a result, the subscription had already begun delivering the benefits of the service.

We understand that no one wants to think about contracts when their pet is missing, and we genuinely sympathise with how emotional those circumstances can be. However, the enhanced reunification service we provide carries significant operational costs, and we're proud to offer it because it has helped reunite over 70% of reported missing pets with their keepers. Maintaining the technology, alerting systems, partnerships, and customer support required to deliver this service does come at a cost, which is why it is offered as a subscription.

We always welcome constructive feedback and will continue looking at how we can make our communications as clear as possible. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we sincerely hope your cat is now safely back home.

Warm regards,

Ben

Very efficient company

I had problems checking the migration of my dog's microchip number to Identibase - the system wouldn't let me log in so I rang to try and get some help. I spoke to Luke who was extremely efficient and very helpful and got me logged in within a couple of minutes - thank you again!

New to Identibase & Microchipping

New to Identibase and while one of my rehomed cats was already registered and transferring her to me was straight forward. I had several issues trying to add the second cat who needed to be re-chipped.
Identibase staff were very helpful and resolved my issue with speed and politeness and responded to my emails in a timely fashion.
