Privacy Policy - Man And Van Woodgreen

This Privacy Policy explains how Man And Van Woodgreen collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when providing services to customers in the Woodgreen area. It applies to all Man And Van Woodgreen customers in the area, including individuals and businesses that request quotes, make bookings, receive moving or delivery services, or otherwise interact with our services.

We are committed to handling personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent way in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. This policy is designed to help you understand what information we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who may process it on our behalf, and what rights you have in relation to your personal data.

1. Data We Collect

We collect only the data that is necessary to provide our services, manage our business, and meet legal obligations. The type of information we may collect includes:

  • Identity details such as your name and title.
  • Contact information such as your address, email address, and telephone number.
  • Service details such as pickup and delivery addresses, move dates, item descriptions, access information, and special instructions.
  • Billing and payment information such as invoice details, payment status, and transaction records. We do not retain card details unless required through secure payment systems operated by third parties.
  • Communication records such as emails, messages, booking notes, and complaint correspondence.
  • Technical information where relevant, such as device or browser information if you contact us through digital channels.
  • Vehicle and property access information where needed for logistics, safety, and service planning.

We do not intentionally collect special category data unless it is strictly necessary and you have provided it for a specific service reason, for example where access arrangements require health-related information. In such cases, we will handle it with particular care and only where a lawful basis applies.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use personal data to operate our services efficiently and responsibly. Typical purposes include:

  • Providing quotes and confirming bookings.
  • Planning and carrying out removals, deliveries, and related services.
  • Contacting you about your booking, schedule changes, or service requirements.
  • Preparing invoices, processing payments, and maintaining financial records.
  • Responding to questions, complaints, and customer support requests.
  • Protecting our business against fraud, misuse, or legal claims.
  • Complying with tax, accounting, insurance, and other legal obligations.

We only use your information for purposes that are compatible with the reason it was collected, unless we are required or permitted by law to use it for another purpose.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process personal data. We rely on the following bases depending on the activity involved:

Contract

We process your data when it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you. This includes taking bookings, delivering services, managing schedules, and handling payments.

Legitimate Interests

We may process data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This may include service administration, business record-keeping, fraud prevention, and improving our operations. We always consider whether the processing is necessary and proportionate.

Legal Obligation

We may process and retain data when required by law, such as for tax records, accounting, insurance matters, or lawful requests from public authorities.

Consent

In limited situations, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain optional communications or if you provide sensitive information that is not otherwise necessary for the service. Where consent is used, you may withdraw it at any time.

4. Data Sharing and Processors

We may share personal data with trusted third parties who act as processors or independent controllers, but only where necessary and with appropriate safeguards. These may include:

  • IT and software providers that host booking, email, storage, or communication systems.
  • Payment processors that securely handle transactions.
  • Accountants and bookkeeping providers who support financial and tax compliance.
  • Insurance providers where claims or incidents require assessment.
  • Professional advisers such as legal or compliance advisers when necessary.
  • Subcontractors or service partners who assist in delivering a booked job under our instructions.

All processors are required to handle personal data securely, use it only for the agreed purpose, and comply with data protection law. We do not sell personal data. We do not share data with third parties for their own marketing purposes without a valid legal basis.

5. Retention of Personal Data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service provided.

  • Booking and service records are typically retained for a period necessary to manage follow-up queries, disputes, and business records.
  • Financial and invoice records are retained for the period required by tax and accounting law.
  • Communication records may be kept for a reasonable time to support customer service and evidential purposes.
  • Incident or claims records may be retained longer where needed for insurance or legal defence.

When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted, anonymised, or otherwise disposed of in a safe manner. Where deletion is not immediately possible due to technical or legal reasons, we will isolate the data and limit further use.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, staff awareness, and careful handling of documents and records.

Although no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, we work to maintain a level of security appropriate to the risks involved. If a personal data breach occurs and it is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will respond in line with applicable law.

7. Your Rights

As a data subject under GDPR, you have several rights in relation to your personal data. Depending on the circumstances, you may be entitled to:

  • Access your personal data and request a copy of the information we hold about you.
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Erase personal data in certain situations, sometimes called the right to be forgotten.
  • Restrict how we process your data in certain cases.
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
  • Data portability for data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used format where applicable.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority if you believe your data has not been handled in line with data protection law. We encourage you to raise any concerns so we can address them promptly.

8. Children’s Data

Our services are aimed at adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children unless it is necessary for service delivery and provided by an adult customer. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without appropriate consent or justification, we will take steps to delete it where required.

9. International Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent protective measures required by law.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or data processing practices. Any updated version will apply from the date it is published or otherwise communicated. We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how your data is handled.
