Privacy Policy - Man With A Van Parsonsgreen

This Privacy Policy explains how Man With A Van Parsonsgreen collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data when providing moving, transportation, and related services. It applies to all Man With A Van Parsonsgreen customers in the area, including prospective customers, current customers, and individuals who interact with us in connection with our 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

Man With A Van Parsonsgreen operates as a service provider for removals, deliveries, transportation, and associated booking and customer support activities. In the context of data protection law, we act as the data controller for personal data collected and used in connection with our services, meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing that data.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect only the personal data necessary to provide our services, manage customer relationships, and meet legal obligations. The types of data we may collect include:

  • Identity details: name, title, and any relevant business or household identifier.
  • Contact details: address, email address, telephone number, and service location information.
  • Booking information: service dates, collection and delivery details, property access notes, item descriptions, and instructions for transport.
  • Payment information: billing details, payment status, and transaction records. Where card payments are used, payment processing may be handled by secure third-party providers.
  • Communication records: messages, emails, call notes, complaints, and feedback.
  • Service and operational data: vehicle allocation, route planning, staff notes, and records needed to complete the job safely and efficiently.
  • Technical data: limited information such as device or browser data if collected through digital systems used to manage bookings or customer correspondence.

We do not intentionally collect special category data unless it is provided by you and is necessary for a specific request, for example where access requirements or health-related considerations affect the delivery of a service. If such data is needed, we will only process it where a lawful basis applies and additional safeguards are in place.

3. How We Use Personal Data

We use personal data for the following purposes:

  • To provide quotes and manage bookings.
  • To deliver moving, collection, delivery, and transport services.
  • To communicate with customers about service arrangements, changes, or issues.
  • To process payments, issue invoices, and keep financial records.
  • To handle customer enquiries, complaints, and claims.
  • To improve service quality, operational planning, and customer experience.
  • To comply with legal, tax, accounting, insurance, and regulatory obligations.
  • To protect against fraud, misuse, or security incidents.

We will not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the reason it was collected unless we have a valid legal basis and you are informed where required.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data only where a lawful basis under UK GDPR applies. Depending on the circumstances, the lawful basis may be one or more of the following:

  • Contract: where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, such as providing a quote, arranging a move, or completing a delivery.
  • Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with tax, accounting, insurance, or other legal requirements.
  • Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as running our operations, improving services, preventing fraud, and maintaining records, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
  • Consent: where we ask for your permission, for example for certain optional communications or when special category data is involved and consent is the appropriate basis.

When we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the impact on individuals and ensure that our interests do not unfairly affect your rights. When consent is used, you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

5. Retention of Personal Data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, insurance, and dispute-resolution requirements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of record and the reason for keeping it.

  • Booking and service records: retained for a period necessary to manage the service and address any follow-up issues.
  • Financial and invoicing records: retained in line with statutory accounting and tax requirements.
  • Complaint and claims records: retained for as long as needed to resolve the matter and to protect our legal position.
  • Communication records: retained for a reasonable period to support customer service and business administration.

When personal data is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymise it securely. Some records may be retained longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations or where a longer retention period is justified by a legitimate business need.

6. Processors and Third Parties

We may share personal data with trusted third-party service providers who act as processors on our behalf. These providers are only allowed to process data under our instructions and must protect it in accordance with applicable data protection law. Examples of processors may include:

  • Payment service providers that handle secure transactions.
  • Accounting and bookkeeping providers that assist with financial administration.
  • IT and software providers that support booking systems, communication tools, and data storage.
  • Customer support or administration providers that help manage enquiries and operational records.

We may also disclose personal data where required by law, court order, or regulatory request, or where necessary to protect our rights, property, staff, customers, or the public.

We do not sell personal data.

7. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction. These measures are designed to reflect the nature of the data and the risks involved. Access to personal data is restricted to individuals who need it for legitimate business purposes.

Although we work to safeguard personal data, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If a data incident occurs, we will respond in accordance with our legal obligations and take appropriate steps to reduce any potential harm.

8. Your Rights Under Data Protection Law

You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be subject to conditions or exceptions under the law. They include:

  • The right of access: to request confirmation of whether we process your data and to obtain a copy of it.
  • The right to rectification: to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • The right to erasure: to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
  • The right to restrict processing: to ask us to limit how we use your data in certain situations.
  • The right to data portability: to receive certain data in a structured, commonly used format where applicable.
  • The right to object: to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
  • The right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

If you believe that your data protection rights have been breached, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any concerns directly and promptly.

9. International Transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so that your data remains protected to the standard required by law. This may include using service providers located in jurisdictions with adequate data protection standards or relying on approved contractual protections.

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 handling practices. Any changes will apply from the date of publication of the revised policy. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
