Privacy Policy - Man With Van Stockwell

This Privacy Policy explains how Man With Van Stockwell collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data in connection with the services it provides. It applies to all Man With Van Stockwell customers in the area, including individuals, households, and businesses who request or receive our removal, delivery, collection, or transport 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. This policy applies to personal data we collect when you contact us, request a quotation, book a service, make a payment, or otherwise interact with us.

1. Personal Data We Collect

We collect only the personal data that is necessary for us to provide our services, manage our business, and meet legal obligations. The exact information collected depends on the nature of the service requested.

Information you provide directly

  • Identity details such as your name
  • Contact details such as telephone number and email address
  • Service details including pickup and delivery addresses, access instructions, moving dates, and inventory information
  • Payment information such as billing address and payment confirmation details
  • Communication records such as enquiries, complaints, feedback, and special requests
  • Instructions relating to your move including items requiring care, handling preferences, or time constraints

Information collected automatically

We may also collect limited technical information when you contact us digitally or use online enquiry forms, including:

  • IP address
  • Device and browser information
  • Approximate location information
  • Usage data relating to service enquiries

We do not intentionally collect special category data unless you choose to provide it and it is necessary for the service. If such information is shared with us, we will handle it with additional care and only where permitted by law.

2. How We Use Personal Data

We use personal data only for specific and legitimate purposes connected with our services. These purposes include:

  • Providing quotes and responding to enquiries
  • Planning and delivering moving or transport services
  • Managing bookings, schedules, and operational logistics
  • Communicating with you about your service
  • Processing payments, issuing invoices, and handling refunds where applicable
  • Maintaining business and accounting records
  • Handling complaints and resolving disputes
  • Meeting legal, tax, insurance, and regulatory requirements
  • Improving service quality, security, and customer experience

Man With Van Stockwell will never use your data for unrelated purposes without a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.

3. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process personal data. Depending on the context, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Contract

We process personal data when it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and to perform the contract once services are booked. This includes handling your details to arrange collection, transport, delivery, invoicing, and customer support.

Legal obligation

We may process data to comply with legal obligations such as tax recordkeeping, accounting requirements, fraud prevention, and responding to lawful requests from public authorities.

Legitimate interests

We may process certain data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This may include maintaining records, improving operations, preventing misuse of services, and protecting our business and customers.

Consent

In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where you ask us to store information that is not strictly necessary for the service or where optional marketing communication is involved. You may withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the lawful basis for processing.

4. Sharing Data and Processors

We may share personal data with trusted third parties who help us operate our business. These parties act as processors or, in some situations, independent controllers. We only share the minimum information necessary and require appropriate safeguards.

Examples of processors may include:

  • Payment service providers for card and transaction processing
  • Accounting and bookkeeping providers
  • IT, cloud storage, email, and communications providers
  • Scheduling, invoicing, and customer management software providers
  • Insurance-related service providers when handling claims or incidents
  • Professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors, or tax advisers

Processors are required to act only on our instructions, maintain confidentiality, and use suitable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. We do not sell personal data.

We may also disclose information where necessary to comply with the law, enforce agreements, protect our rights, investigate fraud, or protect the safety of customers, staff, or the public.

5. International Transfers

If any of our service providers store or process data outside the UK, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent legal protections designed to keep your personal data secure.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. Retention periods depend on the type of data and the reason for processing.

  • Quotation and enquiry data is kept for a limited period to manage customer communication and business records
  • Booking and service records are retained for the duration of the contract and for a reasonable period afterwards
  • Invoices, receipts, and accounting records are retained for the period required by tax and financial laws
  • Complaints and incident records may be retained longer where needed to resolve disputes or meet legal obligations
  • Technical records are retained only for as long as necessary for security, diagnostics, or service improvement

When data is no longer needed, we will securely delete, anonymise, or archive it in accordance with our retention practices.

7. Data Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include secure storage, access controls, staff confidentiality duties, and restricted use of information on a need-to-know basis.

Although no system is completely secure, we work to reduce risks and review our safeguards regularly. If a personal data breach occurs and is likely to present a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will take steps in line with applicable legal requirements.

8. Your Rights

Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. Subject to legal limitations, these rights may include:

  • Right of access – to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification – to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Right to erasure – to request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances
  • Right to restriction – to request limited use of your data in certain situations
  • Right to object – to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing
  • Right to data portability – to receive certain data in a structured, commonly used format
  • Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent

You also have the right to make a complaint to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy with how your data is handled. We encourage you to raise any concerns with us first so we can try to resolve them promptly and fairly.

9. Marketing Communications

We do not send unsolicited marketing messages unless permitted by law and, where necessary, with your consent. If you receive optional marketing communications, you may object or unsubscribe at any time. Service-related communication, such as booking updates, invoices, or operational notifications, is not marketing and may still be sent where needed for contract performance or legal obligations.

10. Children’s Data

Our services are intended for adults arranging moving and transport services. We do not knowingly collect data from children except where it is incidentally provided in the course of household arrangements and only to the extent necessary for the service or legal compliance.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, operational, or service changes. 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 handle personal data.

12. Summary of Our Commitment

Man With Van Stockwell is committed to protecting customer privacy, using data responsibly, and maintaining transparency in all personal data processing activities. We collect only what we need, process it for lawful purposes, retain it appropriately, and respect your rights. This policy applies to all customers in the area and is designed to support fair, lawful, and secure handling of your personal information.
