When you contact us by phone, in writing, or in person to request information, a quotation or to make a booking.

When you complete a quotation or booking form, whether online or offline.

When you communicate with us during the planning and performance of your removal, including any instructions, feedback or queries.

When we record operational details during site visits, surveys or on the day of the move, to ensure we can provide our services safely and efficiently.

In some cases, we may receive limited personal data about you from third parties, for example from landlords, estate agents or business contacts who are helping to coordinate a move on your behalf. We will only use this information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under one or more of the following lawful bases set out in the UK GDPR:

Contract: Processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, for example to provide quotations, make bookings, plan your removal, carry out the move and handle any aftercare or queries.

Legal obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as accounting, tax and insurance requirements, and to assist with law enforcement or regulatory enquiries where we are legally required to do so.

Legitimate interests: We may process your data on the basis of our legitimate interests, provided they are not overridden by your rights and interests. These legitimate interests include managing and improving our business, maintaining appropriate records, preventing fraud, ensuring the security of our staff and customers, and promoting our services to existing customers in a proportionate and privacy-respecting way.

Consent: In limited circumstances, we may rely on your explicit consent, for example where required for specific types of marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time by contacting us and we will stop the relevant processing.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

To provide quotations, confirm bookings, schedule moves and deliver our removals, packing and storage services.

To communicate with you regarding your enquiry, quotation, booking, move date, delivery arrangements and any follow up actions.

Data Sharing and Processors

We may share your personal data with trusted third parties where necessary for the purposes described above, including:

Service providers who act as data processors and help us deliver our services, such as IT service providers, software providers, secure document storage providers and professional advisers. These processors are only allowed to process your data according to our instructions and must protect it appropriately.

Payment service providers and financial institutions where processing is necessary to handle payments, refunds or related financial transactions.

Insurance providers and brokers where required for arranging or administering cover in relation to your move.

Public authorities, regulators, law enforcement agencies and courts where we are legally required or permitted to disclose personal data.

We do not sell your personal data. Any sharing is carried out in a proportionate way and with appropriate safeguards.

International Transfers

Our services are primarily provided within our local area. Where it becomes necessary to transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision, in accordance with data protection law.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. In general:

Enquiry and quotation information is retained for a limited period to allow us to follow up on your enquiry and manage our business records.

Contract and move-related records are kept for a number of years after completion of the service, to fulfil legal obligations and in case of any legal claims or queries about the services provided.

Marketing preference information is retained while you remain subscribed or until you object to or opt out of receiving marketing communications.

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it, unless we are required by law to keep it for a longer period.

Security of Your Personal Data

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures include restricting access to personal data to those staff and processors who need it to perform their duties, using secure storage solutions, and implementing appropriate policies, training and controls.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data, subject to certain conditions and exemptions. These rights include:

The right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with information about how we use it.

The right to rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you.

The right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing.

The right to restrict processing: You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in specific situations, for example while we are verifying the accuracy of data that you have contested.

The right to data portability: In some cases, you can ask us to provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format, or to transmit it to another controller where this is technically feasible.

The right to object: You have the right to object at any time to processing that is based on our legitimate interests, including profiling based on those interests. You also have an absolute right to object to direct marketing, including any profiling related to direct marketing.

Where we rely on your consent for processing, you also have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal.

Exercising Your Rights and Complaints

If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights, or if you have questions or concerns about how we handle your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details provided in our standard communications and documentation. We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably possible and within the time limits set by data protection law.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office or another competent supervisory authority if you believe that your data protection rights have been infringed. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve any concerns.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements or how we process personal data. Any updated version will apply from the date it is issued. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
