Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different types of personal data depending on how you interact with us and the services you request. This may include:
Identity and contact details: name, address, pick-up and drop-off addresses, email address, and any other contact details you choose to provide.
Booking and service information: dates and times of your booking, inventory details relating to your move, access instructions, special handling requirements, and any notes you provide regarding the service.
Payment and billing information: payment method details, partial card details as processed by payment providers, billing address, and records of payments made, including amounts and dates. We do not store full card details ourselves when payments are processed through third-party payment processors.
Communications data: information included in your emails, forms, or other messages you send to us, as well as records of our communications with you such as quotes, confirmations, and customer support messages.
Technical and usage data: limited technical data such as your device type, browser type, basic log information, and general location information derived from your IP address, where this is necessary for security, service performance, or to provide quotes relevant to your area.
Feedback and reviews: information you provide in feedback, reviews, or testimonials about our services.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data in the following ways:
Directly from you when you request a quote, make a booking, contact us, or communicate with us in any way.
Automatically when you visit our website or use our online tools, through basic logs and cookies where applicable.
From third-party service providers such as payment processors, when they confirm the status of your payment or provide fraud-prevention information.
Lawful Bases for Processing
We will only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the situation, this may include:
Contract: Processing necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, for example to provide quotes, confirm bookings, deliver moving services, communicate about your booking, and process payments.
Legal obligation: Processing necessary to comply with legal requirements, such as maintaining tax and accounting records or responding to lawful requests by public authorities.
Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This includes managing our relationship with you, improving our services, preventing fraud, securing our systems, and handling complaints and disputes.
Consent: In some limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where required for certain types of optional marketing or for the placement of non-essential cookies. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide our services: creating and managing your booking, planning and carrying out your move, communicating with you about your service, and handling changes, cancellations, or follow-up visits.
To manage payments: processing your payments, issuing invoices and receipts, and dealing with refunds and payment-related queries.
To provide customer support: responding to your requests, questions, and complaints, and maintaining a record of these communications.
To manage our business: internal administration, accounting, auditing, quality control, staff training, and service improvement.
To ensure security and prevent fraud: verifying identity where appropriate, monitoring for suspicious activity, and protecting our systems and services.
To comply with legal and regulatory obligations: maintaining records required by law and cooperating with lawful information requests from authorities.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide our services, meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and resolve disputes.
In general, we keep core booking and invoicing information for a number of years after your last interaction with us, in line with tax and accounting retention requirements. Communications and service notes may be retained for a similar period to enable us to respond to queries and manage any potential claims.
When personal data is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely store it in a way that means it is no longer used actively, except where further retention is required by law.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients where necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy:
Service providers and processors: third-party companies that provide services to us, such as payment processing, IT hosting, website maintenance, email and communication tools, and accounting or administrative support. These providers act as data processors and only process your data on our documented instructions and subject to appropriate safeguards.
Professional advisers: accountants, auditors, or legal professionals where reasonably necessary for the management of our business, legal compliance, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Public authorities: law enforcement, regulators, or other public bodies where we are legally required to disclose information or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
Drivers and operational staff: members of our operational team who require access to your contact details and service information in order to carry out the moving services you have requested.
Where data is shared with processors, we put in place appropriate contracts and safeguards to ensure that your personal data is protected and processed in accordance with applicable laws.
International Data Transfers
Where any of our service providers or processors are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, for example by using contracts that include standard data protection clauses approved by relevant authorities or by ensuring that the recipient is in a country recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.

Right to rectification: You can request that we correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and no other lawful basis for processing applies.
Right to restriction: You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as while we are verifying its accuracy or assessing an objection you have raised.
Right to object: You can object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, including any direct marketing activities.
Right to data portability: You can request that we provide you with the personal data you have given us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and, where technically feasible, ask us to transmit that data to another controller, where the processing is based on contract or consent and carried out by automated means.
Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal.
