Communication records, including records of telephone calls where noted, written correspondence, and notes created during consultations or site visits that relate to your booking or enquiry.

Payment and billing information, including details necessary for invoicing, payment status and records of payments received. Where card payments are processed through a payment provider, we do not receive or store full card details, but we may receive confirmation of payment and limited transaction details.

Technical and usage data, where you interact with our online content, which may include the date and time of your enquiry, the source of your visit and general device or browser information. This information is typically collected through cookies and similar tools, subject to applicable law and your settings.

How We Collect Your Personal Data

We obtain personal data directly from you when you contact us by telephone, make an enquiry, request a quote, complete a form, provide information during a site visit, or book a service. We may also collect information when you interact with our online content or when you respond to our communications.

In some cases we may receive information about you from third parties, such as comparison or referral services that you have used to request quotations, or from business partners who support us in delivering services to you. In such cases we only process the data we need for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

Lawful Bases For Processing Personal Data

We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so under data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, we rely on the following lawful bases:

Performance of a contract: We process your data where it is necessary to enter into, or to perform, a contract for removal or related services, including providing quotations, arranging and carrying out moves, and managing associated administrative tasks.

Legitimate interests: We process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. These interests include managing and improving our services, handling customer queries, preventing fraud and misuse of our services, and maintaining business records.

Legal obligation: We may process certain data to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including tax and accounting requirements, and to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

Consent: Where required by law, we may rely on your consent, for example in relation to certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

To provide quotations, arrange surveys and prepare for moves or related services.

To perform removal and related services, including packing, storage, delivery and associated logistics, and to manage any follow-up or aftercare.

To handle enquiries, customer service requests, feedback and complaints.

To manage our relationship with you, including billing, payment collection, record keeping and communication about your bookings.

To manage, improve and protect our business operations, including quality assurance, staff training, risk management and fraud prevention.

To comply with applicable laws, regulatory requirements and enforce our contractual rights.

Data Sharing And Processors

We may share your personal data with carefully selected third parties where this is necessary for the purposes described above and where we have an appropriate legal basis. These third parties may include:

Service partners and subcontractors who assist with or carry out elements of your move or associated services in the South Kensington area and beyond.

Professional advisers such as accountants, insurers and legal advisers, where necessary for managing our business, obtaining professional advice or handling disputes.

Payment service providers who process payments on our behalf and help prevent fraud and misuse of payment methods.

Information technology and systems providers who host or support our operational systems, storage solutions, communication tools and security measures.

Public authorities, regulators, law enforcement or courts where we are legally required or permitted to disclose your data, or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others.

Where we engage third parties to process personal data on our behalf, they act as data processors and must only process your data in accordance with our instructions, with appropriate confidentiality and security protections in place.

International Data Transfers

In general, we seek to store and process personal data within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. If we need to transfer personal data to a country outside of these locations that does not have an adequacy decision, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are used to protect your personal data, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures, as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. In deciding how long to retain data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the data, the risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes of processing and whether those purposes can be achieved by other means, and applicable legal obligations.

Typically, we retain customer contract and billing records for a period required for tax and accounting purposes. Enquiry records and quotations that do not lead to a booking may be held for a shorter period, sufficient to respond to your questions and maintain business records. When personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised.

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk and may include access controls, physical security measures, staff training, secure disposal procedures, and regular review of our data protection practices.

Your Data Protection Rights

As an individual whose personal data we process, you have various rights under data protection law, subject to certain conditions and exemptions. These rights include:

The right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you and obtain a copy of that data, together with certain additional information.

The right to rectification: You can request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data about you be corrected or updated.

The right to erasure: You can request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or where you withdraw consent and no other lawful basis applies.

The right to restriction of processing: You can request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain situations, for example while we are verifying its accuracy or considering an objection you have raised.

The right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or performance of a contract and carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format, or request that it be transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.

The right to object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where processing is required for legal claims.

Rights in relation to consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Exercising Your Rights And Complaints

If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights or have questions about how we handle your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details provided in our customer communications or on our service materials. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority if you are concerned about how your personal data is being handled. In the United Kingdom, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, how we process personal data, or changes in law and regulatory guidance. Any revised version will apply to all customers and prospective customers of Removal Companies South Kensington in the South Kensington area from the date it is published.
