Technical and usage information, such as information about how you use our website and services, including basic device and browser information and interaction with online forms where applicable.
Optional information, such as feedback, reviews, and any additional instructions or notes you choose to provide that relate to your move or our services.
We may collect your personal data in several ways, including:
When you contact us directly by phone, in writing, or via online forms to request information, a quotation, or to make a booking.
During the course of providing removal or associated services, including pre-move surveys, on-site visits, and communications before, during, and after your move.
From third parties where lawful and appropriate, for example referral partners or comparison services that you have used and where you have given them permission to share details with us.
Through our website and related digital services, where we may collect limited technical and usage data in order to operate and improve our services.
Removal Companies Waterloo will only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis under applicable data protection laws. The lawful bases we rely on include:
Contract: We process your data where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, for example to provide quotations, confirm bookings, carry out removals, and manage payments.
Legal obligation: We process certain data to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as record keeping, taxation, and responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
Legitimate interests: We may process your data for our legitimate business interests, such as managing our operations, improving our services, handling queries and complaints, preventing fraud, and ensuring the security of our staff and customers. We always balance these interests against your rights and freedoms.
Consent: In some cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for specific marketing communications where required by law. Where we rely on consent you can withdraw it at any time.
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide you with quotations, handle enquiries, and manage bookings for removal and related services.
To plan and carry out removal services, including assessing property access, arranging transport, and managing staff allocation.
To communicate with you about your enquiry or booking, including confirmations, updates, and service-related notifications.
To process payments, maintain financial and administrative records, and manage invoices and accounts.
To respond to complaints, feedback, or claims, and to resolve disputes.
To manage our website, understand service usage, and improve the quality, safety, and efficiency of our operations.
To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including tax, insurance, and accounting requirements.
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share your data with carefully selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. These third parties act as data processors or, in some cases, independent controllers. They may include:
Service providers who support our operations, such as information technology providers, secure data storage services, payment processors, and companies providing communication tools.
Professional advisers including accountants, insurers, and legal advisers, where required for business management, insurance claims, or legal reasons.
Subcontractors or partner firms involved in fulfilling part of your removal or associated services when necessary for your booking.
Public authorities, regulators, or law enforcement agencies, where we are legally required to do so or where it is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our customers or staff.
Whenever we use data processors, we ensure that appropriate data protection agreements are in place and that they only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and applicable law.
In general, we aim to keep your personal data within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. If it becomes necessary to transfer your data to a country outside these areas, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as recognised adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses, as required by data protection law.
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with our legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. The exact retention period may vary depending on the nature of the data and our relationship with you, but typically includes:
Enquiry and quotation records for a reasonable period after our last contact, in order to respond to follow-up questions and manage our business records.
Booking, service, and financial records for the duration of our contractual relationship and for a period afterwards as required by law, including tax and accounting rules.
Complaint, incident, and claim records for as long as reasonably necessary to manage and defend potential legal claims.
When personal data is no longer required for these purposes, we will securely delete, anonymise, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our data retention practices.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include access controls, secure storage, staff training, and the use of reputable service providers. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no system can be completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be subject to legal conditions and limitations. Your rights include:
The right to be informed about how your data is collected and used, which is the purpose of this Privacy Policy.
The right of access to obtain confirmation that we process your personal data and to request a copy of the data we hold about you.
The right to rectification to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected.
The right to erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten, in certain circumstances where there is no longer a lawful basis for us to continue processing your data.
The right to restrict processing in certain situations, for example while we verify the accuracy of data or consider an objection.
The right to data portability, allowing you, in some cases, to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
The right to object to processing where we rely on legitimate interests or where your data is used for direct marketing.
The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where such a decision has legal or similarly significant effects, unless certain conditions are met. Removal Companies Waterloo does not typically rely on fully automated decision making for customer-related decisions.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us using the contact details provided in your service documentation or on our official communications. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
We may use your contact details to send you information about similar services that may be of interest to you, in accordance with applicable law. You can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in our communications or by contacting us using the details in your service documentation. Opting out of marketing will not affect service-related communications that are necessary for your booking or our contractual relationship.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or services. Any updated version will be made available through our normal communication channels and will include the date on which it came into effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, how we handle your personal data, or if you wish to make a complaint, you can contact Removal Companies Waterloo using the contact details provided in your booking documents or other official correspondence.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your relevant data protection supervisory authority if you are unhappy with how we have used your data. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns directly before you contact a supervisory authority.
