This Privacy Policy covers personal data we collect in connection with our services, including when you contact us, request a quote, make a booking, use our website, or otherwise interact with us as a customer or potential customer in our area.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different types of personal data depending on how you interact with us. This may include the following categories of information:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, address, previous and new addresses for a move, and other basic contact details you provide to communicate with us.
Service and booking information, such as details about the services you request, dates and times of moves, property access details you provide, and any special instructions relating to your booking.
Communication records, including emails or messages you send to us and notes of conversations we have when you contact us with questions, feedback or complaints.
Payment related information necessary to process payments and manage accounts, such as payment status and billing history. We do not store full card details if payment is taken through a third party processor.
Website and usage data, such as basic technical information that may be collected when you visit our site, including log data and information about how you use our pages, in order to operate, maintain and improve our services.
Any other information you choose to provide to us that is relevant to the provision of our services, for example information about access restrictions at your property or particular service preferences.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the context, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
Contractual necessity. We process personal data to take steps at your request before entering into a contract and to perform our contract with you. This includes providing quotes, managing bookings, carrying out moves and related services, and handling payments and billing.
Legitimate interests. We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. This may include managing and improving our services, responding to enquiries, maintaining business records, and protecting our business from fraud or misuse.
Legal obligations. We may process and retain certain information where necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, for example accounting, taxation or responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
Consent. In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where we choose to send certain types of marketing communications by electronic means and consent is required. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
To provide our services, including giving quotes, planning and carrying out moves, managing bookings, and delivering customer support.
To communicate with you about your enquiry or booking, including confirming arrangements, notifying you of changes, and responding to your questions or feedback.
To process payments, issue invoices, manage your account with us and maintain accurate business and financial records.
To manage, operate and improve our business, services and website, including monitoring usage, troubleshooting issues and improving the customer experience.
To comply with legal and regulatory requirements and to cooperate with law enforcement or public authorities where we are legally required to do so.
To protect our rights, property and safety, and that of our customers and third parties, for example in connection with suspected fraud, misuse or legal claims.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
In general, we retain customer and booking information for a period necessary to provide our services and to handle any queries, complaints or disputes that may arise afterwards. Financial records and documents that support our accounts may be kept for the periods required by tax and accounting laws.
When we no longer need your personal data for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Sharing Your Personal Data and Use of Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with selected third parties where necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with data protection law.
Service providers acting as data processors may process personal data on our behalf to help us deliver our services. These may include companies providing data storage, booking management tools, customer communication systems, payment processing or accounting support.
We only use processors that provide sufficient guarantees that they will implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data and act only on our documented instructions.
We may also share personal data where required by law, regulation or legal process, or where necessary to protect our rights or the rights of our customers or others.
If we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area via our service providers, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with data protection law, such as standard contractual clauses or an equivalent approved mechanism.
Your Data Protection Rights
You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data under data protection law. These rights may be subject to certain conditions and exemptions. Subject to those, your rights may include:
The right of access. You can request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with certain information about how we process it.
The right to rectification. You can ask us to correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
The right to erasure. In some circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or where you withdraw consent and we have no other legal basis for processing.
The right to restrict processing. You can ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in certain situations, for example while we check its accuracy or our grounds for processing it.
The right to data portability. In some cases, you may request that we provide your personal data to you or to another organisation in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format, where this is technically feasible and the processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
The right to object. You can object to our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, particularly where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis. You also have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.
The right to withdraw consent. Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you are concerned about how we handle your personal data. In the United Kingdom this is the Information Commissioner's Office.
Security of Your Personal Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks presented by the processing and the nature of the personal data.
While we take reasonable steps to safeguard your personal data, no system can be completely secure. You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions when providing your personal data and using our services.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the date of the update and the latest version will apply from the time it is made available.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your personal data in connection with Movers Tufnell Park services in your area.
