This Privacy Policy explains how Removal Companies Islington collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data relating to customers and prospective customers in the Islington area. It also sets out your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. This Privacy Policy applies to all Removal Companies Islington customers and users of our services in the Islington area, whether you contact us online, by post, or in person.
Removal Companies Islington acts as the data controller in relation to the personal data described in this Privacy Policy. This means that Removal Companies Islington determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data in line with applicable data protection laws.
We collect and process different types of personal data about you depending on how you interact with us and the services you request. The types of data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, postal address, property address for collection and delivery, and other basic contact details you choose to provide to us.
Service and booking information, such as details of your removal requirements, access information for properties, dates and times of moves, inventory of items to be moved as described by you, and correspondence related to quotations or bookings.
Payment and transaction details, such as information relating to the payment method you use, payment status, invoices, and records of transactions. We do not store full card details if you pay using card payment processors.
Communication data, including records of communications with you such as emails, written correspondence, and notes of telephone conversations relating to your enquiry or contract.
Technical and usage data, which may include information generated when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and general usage data, to the extent that this constitutes personal data under applicable law.
We may collect personal data directly from you when you request a quotation, make a booking, communicate with us about a removal service, or otherwise interact with our staff or website.
We may also receive data indirectly where you have authorised another person, such as an agent, landlord, or family member, to provide your details to arrange a removal service on your behalf.
We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis under the UK GDPR. The main purposes and lawful bases are:
To provide quotations and perform contracts. We process your identification, contact, and service information in order to provide quotations, confirm bookings, plan and carry out removals, issue invoices, and manage any related services. The lawful basis for this is that processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
To comply with legal obligations. We may process your data to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as tax, accounting, and record keeping obligations. The lawful basis is compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject.
To manage our business and services. We may use your data to manage customer relationships, handle enquiries and complaints, administer our website, and maintain accurate records. The lawful basis is our legitimate interests in running a safe and efficient business while ensuring appropriate safeguards for your privacy.
To send relevant service information. We may use your contact details to send you essential service communications relating to your booking or contract. The lawful basis is performance of a contract and our legitimate interests in keeping you informed of important updates concerning your service.
To send marketing communications. Where permitted by law and where we have your consent if required, we may send you occasional marketing communications about our services that may be relevant to you. You can withdraw consent or opt out of marketing communications at any time. The lawful basis is consent or our legitimate interests, depending on the channel used and your relationship with us.
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. The length of time we keep your data will depend on the nature of the information and the services provided.
Customer and contract records, including basic contact details, service information, and invoices, are generally retained for a period necessary to comply with tax, accounting, and limitation period requirements. After this period, data will be securely deleted or anonymised.
Enquiry information where no contract is formed may be retained for a shorter period to respond to your query and manage potential follow ups, after which it will be deleted or anonymised.
Marketing contact details are retained for as long as you remain subscribed or until you object to or withdraw consent for marketing. We will then remove you from our marketing lists within a reasonable period.
We may share your personal data with carefully selected third parties who act as data processors on our behalf. These processors may provide services such as payment processing, information technology support, data hosting, or customer management systems. These processors are contractually required to handle your data only in accordance with our instructions, to keep it secure, and to comply with applicable data protection laws.
We may also share your data with third parties acting as independent controllers where required by law or necessary for the performance of a contract. This may include insurers, legal or professional advisers, and regulatory or public authorities when required to do so.
Where we use third party movers or subcontractors to help deliver a removal service that you have requested, we may need to share relevant information such as your name, property address, and service details. These parties are required to handle your data in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.
Our primary operations are based in the United Kingdom and we aim to keep your personal data within the UK or the European Economic Area where possible. If we do transfer personal data outside the UK or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as using standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms recognised by data protection law, to protect your data to a standard essentially equivalent to that in the UK.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures may include access controls, secure storage systems, staff training, and procedures to manage and report data security incidents.
While we use reasonable efforts to protect your personal data, no transmission of information over the internet or any storage system can be guaranteed as completely secure. You are responsible for taking suitable precautions when communicating with us and for safeguarding any credentials or reference numbers provided to you.
Under the UK GDPR, you have certain rights in relation to your personal data, subject to specific conditions and legal exemptions. These rights include:
Right of access. You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and to obtain a copy of that data, together with certain information about how we process it.
Right to rectification. You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you is corrected or completed.
Right to erasure. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or if you withdraw consent where consent is the only lawful basis.
Right to restriction of processing. You may have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as while we are assessing a complaint or verifying the accuracy of information.
Right to data portability. In some cases, you have the right to receive personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible.
Right to object. You have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data that is based on our legitimate interests, including profiling based on those interests. We will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Right to object to marketing. You have the absolute right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If you object, we will stop using your data for marketing.
Right to withdraw consent. Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights or have any questions about how we handle your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details provided on our website or any correspondence you have received from us. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request to ensure the security of your data.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office if you believe that your data protection rights have been infringed. Further information on how to do this is available directly from the Information Commissioner's Office.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, our services, or our data protection practices. Any changes will take effect when the updated Privacy Policy is published. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
