Privacy Policy - Man With A Van Brookgreen

This Privacy Policy explains how Man With A Van Brookgreen collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data. It applies to all Man With A Van Brookgreen customers in the area, including anyone who enquires about, books, pays for, or receives removal, transport, delivery, or related services. We are committed to handling personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent way in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who We Are

For the purposes of data protection law, Man With A Van Brookgreen acts as the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. This means we decide why and how personal data is processed when we provide our services, manage bookings, communicate with customers, and meet our legal obligations.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We only collect data that is necessary for legitimate business purposes, service delivery, and legal compliance. The information we may collect includes:

  • Identity details such as your name and, where relevant, business name.
  • Contact details such as telephone number and email address.
  • Address and location information including collection, delivery, and billing addresses.
  • Booking information such as move date, service type, item details, access requirements, and special instructions.
  • Payment information such as payment status, transaction reference, and limited billing details.
  • Communication records including messages, quotes, complaints, and service updates.
  • Service-related records such as notes about property access, parking, item condition, and delivery completion.
  • Technical data that may be collected through our systems, such as device or log information if you contact us electronically.

We do not intentionally collect special category data unless it is necessary and you choose to provide it. Special category data includes information about health, religion, ethnicity, political opinions, or similar sensitive matters. If such data is provided by you incidentally, we will only use it where there is a lawful basis and appropriate protection.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use personal data only for specific and legitimate purposes. These include:

  • providing quotes and arranging bookings;
  • planning and carrying out removal or transport services;
  • communicating about schedules, access, delays, and service updates;
  • processing payments and maintaining financial records;
  • handling complaints, disputes, and customer support queries;
  • meeting tax, accounting, insurance, and legal requirements;
  • improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of our services;
  • protecting our business, staff, customers, and property;
  • detecting and preventing fraud, misuse, or unlawful activity.

We will never use your data in a way that is incompatible with the reason it was collected.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under data protection law, we must have a lawful basis before processing your personal data. Depending on the situation, we rely on one or more of the following:

Contract

We process your data when it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and to perform the contract once a booking is made. This includes handling quotes, scheduling, communication, and completing services.

Legal Obligation

We may process data to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, including accounting, tax, insurance, record-keeping, and responding to lawful requests from public authorities.

Legitimate Interests

We may process data where it is in our legitimate interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights. This may include managing operations, preventing fraud, improving services, and keeping appropriate internal records. We always consider whether the processing is necessary and proportionate.

Consent

In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where optional information is provided or where consent is needed for a specific activity. If consent is used, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing already carried out lawfully before withdrawal.

5. Sharing Your Data and Processors

We may share personal data with trusted third parties where necessary to operate our business and deliver services. These third parties act either as processors or, in some cases, as independent controllers. We only share the minimum data needed and require appropriate safeguards.

Examples of processors may include:

  • booking and administration software providers;
  • payment service providers;
  • IT and cloud storage providers;
  • email or communication platform providers;
  • accountants or bookkeeping services;
  • customer management and record-keeping systems;
  • legal, insurance, or dispute-resolution advisers acting on our behalf.

Processors are only allowed to use your personal data under our instructions and for the agreed purposes. They are required to protect the data and maintain confidentiality.

We may also disclose personal data if required by law, court order, regulatory obligation, or where necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of our customers, staff, or business.

6. International Transfers

If any processor stores or accesses data outside the UK, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms required by data protection law. We only use providers that offer suitable protection.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, insurance, or reporting requirements. Retention periods depend on the type of data and the reason we hold it.

  • Booking and service records are generally retained for a period needed to manage the service relationship and handle queries or disputes.
  • Financial and tax records are retained for the period required by law.
  • Correspondence and complaints may be retained for a reasonable period to resolve issues and maintain service records.
  • Technical and security logs are retained only as long as necessary for operational and security purposes.

When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted, anonymised, or destroyed.

8. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include restricted access, secure storage, staff awareness, password protection, and regular review of records and systems. While no system is completely risk-free, we take reasonable and proportionate steps to safeguard your data.

9. Your Rights

As a data subject, you have rights under data protection law. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal limitations. They include:

  • Right of access - you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification - you can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
  • Right to erasure - in certain circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data.
  • Right to restriction - you can ask us to limit how we use your data in certain cases.
  • Right to object - you can object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing, where applicable.
  • Right to data portability - where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request transfer of your data in a structured format.
  • Right to withdraw consent - where consent is relied upon, you may withdraw it at any time.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, we will respond within the time limits required by law and may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

10. Complaints

If you believe your personal data has been handled unlawfully or unfairly, you have the right to raise a complaint with the relevant data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue promptly and respectfully. We take privacy concerns seriously and will review any complaint carefully.

11. Children’s Data

Our services are intended for adults and business customers arranging removals or transport services. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children except where it is incidentally included in booking or delivery information and only where necessary and lawful. If we become aware that we have collected data unlawfully, we will take appropriate steps to delete or protect it.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal obligations, or data handling practices. Any updated version will apply from the date it is published or otherwise communicated. We encourage customers to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect personal data.
