This Privacy Policy explains how Removal Companies Bow collects, uses, stores and protects personal data relating to our customers and prospective customers in the Bow area. It also describes your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy applies to all Removal Companies Bow customers and service users located in the Bow area who engage with us, whether online, by phone, in writing or in person.
For the purposes of data protection legislation, Removal Companies Bow is the data controller in relation to the personal data we process about you. This means we decide how and why your personal data is used, and we are responsible for ensuring that it is handled lawfully and securely.
We collect and process personal data that is necessary for us to provide removal and related services, to operate our business, and to comply with our legal obligations. The types of personal data we may collect include:
Identity and contact details, such as your name, title, postal address, collection and delivery addresses, and any alternative contact person you nominate.
Contact details, such as your preferred contact methods and any correspondence you send to us or that we send to you.
Service and booking information, such as the type of removal service requested, property access details, inventory of items to be moved, special handling requirements, dates and times of moves, and instructions related to your booking.
Payment and transaction information, such as payment method, billing address, and details of products or services you have purchased from us. We do not store full payment card details; these are handled by our payment service providers.
Usage and communication data, such as information you provide when you complete forms, request a quote, respond to surveys, provide feedback or make a complaint.
Technical data, where applicable, such as anonymised or aggregated data about how you access our website or digital services, including device information, browser type and general location data, to help us improve our services.
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us for a quote, make a booking, enter into a contract with us, provide feedback, or otherwise communicate with us. We may also receive personal data indirectly, for example from comparison websites, partner businesses, or other third parties that you have authorised to share your details with us for the purpose of arranging removal services.
We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. These lawful bases include:
Performance of a contract: We use your personal data to provide our services to you, including providing quotes, confirming bookings, carrying out removals, and handling payments.
Compliance with legal obligations: We may process your data to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as tax and accounting rules, and to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
Legitimate interests: We may process your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This includes managing and improving our services, maintaining security, training staff, and handling customer queries and complaints.
Consent: In some circumstances we may request your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, such as sending certain types of marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide and manage removal and related services you request, including quotes, bookings, scheduling and delivery of services.
To manage our relationship with you, such as responding to enquiries, providing customer support, and communicating with you about your booking or contract.
To process payments, manage invoices and maintain accurate financial and transactional records.
To improve our services, including reviewing service quality, training staff and developing new offerings.
To send you information about our services that may be relevant to you, where permitted by law and where you have not opted out of such communications.
To comply with legal and regulatory requirements and to protect our rights, property and safety, and that of our customers and staff.
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with trusted third parties who act as data processors on our behalf, for example:
IT and systems providers who host or support our business systems and tools.
Payment service providers who process payments and prevent fraud.
Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers, where necessary for business operations or to obtain advice.
Subcontractors or partner companies that help us provide removal services, for example additional vehicles or specialist handling services.
These processors are only allowed to use your personal data in accordance with our instructions and for the specified purposes. We put in place appropriate contracts and safeguards to ensure that your data is protected and that processors comply with data protection laws.
We may also share personal data with public authorities or law enforcement agencies where required by law or where necessary to protect our legal rights.
Our services are primarily provided within the United Kingdom. If we ever need to transfer your personal data outside the UK or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as using approved contractual clauses or transferring data to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide our services, to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements, and to resolve disputes.
In general, we keep records relating to contracts, bookings and financial transactions for up to six years after the end of the relevant financial year to comply with legal and tax obligations. Data that is no longer required will be securely deleted, anonymised or archived in line with our retention policies.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures include access controls, secure storage, staff training, and procedures for managing suspected data breaches. While we take reasonable steps to safeguard 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 apply to all Removal Companies Bow customers in the Bow area, subject to certain legal conditions and exemptions. Your rights include:
Right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of the data we hold about you.
Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected or where you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing.
Right to restriction of processing: You can request that we restrict our use of your personal data in certain situations, such as while we are investigating a concern you raise about its accuracy.
Right to data portability: In some cases, you can request that we provide you with your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format, or that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object: You can object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, including profiling based on those interests. You also have an absolute right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.
Rights in relation to automated decision making: You have rights to safeguards where decisions are taken about you based solely on automated processing that has legal or similarly significant effects, although we do not generally use such automated decision making in our services.
You can exercise your data protection rights by contacting us and explaining which right you wish to exercise and providing enough information to identify yourself. We may need to request additional information to verify your identity before responding. We aim to respond to all valid requests within one month, or within any extended period permitted by law for complex or multiple requests. There is normally no fee for exercising your rights, although we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on clearly unfounded or excessive requests.
If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, we encourage you to contact us so that we can try to resolve your concern. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority for data protection if you believe that your rights have been infringed.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements or for other operational reasons. Any updates will be made available through our usual communication channels. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
