How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us, request a quotation, make a booking, speak with us by phone or in person, or communicate with us by other means.
We may also receive limited personal data indirectly, for example if a third party books a service on your behalf and provides your contact details and address so we can perform the service.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a valid legal basis under data protection laws. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Contractual necessity: We process personal data to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and to perform the contract for removal and transport services. This includes taking bookings, providing quotations, confirming arrangements, delivering the service, issuing invoices and managing payments.
Legitimate interests: We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where these are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This may include managing our day to day operations, improving our services, handling customer enquiries, preventing fraud or misuse of our services, and maintaining records of past work for reference and dispute resolution.
Legal obligations: We process certain data to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as tax, accounting and record keeping requirements.
Consent: In limited cases, where required by law, we may rely on your consent to process personal data for specific purposes. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time, although this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

International Transfers
Where any of our service providers are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will only transfer personal data where appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with data protection law, such as recognised adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
In general, contact and booking information, service details and related records are retained for a period aligned with applicable limitation periods and tax laws. This allows us to respond to questions, handle potential disputes, and meet our legal obligations.
Where data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include restricting access to personal data to those who need to know it for legitimate business purposes and ensuring that our systems and service providers apply reasonable security protections.
