We may also collect technical data automatically when you visit our website or digital platforms through the use of standard cookies or similar technologies that help us understand how visitors use our services.
Lawful Bases for Processing
We rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under the UK GDPR to process your personal data:
Contract. We process your data when it is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract and to perform a contract with you. This includes providing quotes, confirming bookings, carrying out man with a van services, and managing payments and invoices.
Legal obligation. We process certain data where necessary to comply with our legal obligations, for example in relation to taxation, accounting, and record keeping.
Legitimate interests. We may process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Our legitimate interests include managing and developing our services, responding to enquiries, improving customer experience, ensuring network and information security, and handling disputes or claims.
Consent. In limited cases we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you are free to withdraw it at any time.

We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide quotes, confirm bookings, and deliver our man with a van services in the Yeading area.
To manage our relationship with you, including handling enquiries, updates, changes to bookings, and customer service communications.

To protect our rights, property, and safety, and those of our customers, staff, and third parties, which may include the detection and prevention of fraud or misuse of our services.
Data Processors and Third Parties
We may share your personal data with trusted third-party processors who act on our instructions and provide services that support our operations. These processors may include:
IT and hosting providers that store data and support our digital systems.
Payment service providers that process card or online payments securely on our behalf.
Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where necessary.
Customer management or booking system providers that help us organise and manage bookings and communications.
Where we use processors, we require them to keep your data secure, to use it only in accordance with our instructions and applicable law, and to maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data.
We may also share data where we are legally required to do so or where it is necessary to protect our legal rights or the rights of others.
International Transfers
If any of our service providers or data processors are located outside the United Kingdom, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place before any personal data is transferred. Such safeguards may include standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms recognised under data protection law to ensure that your data continues to be protected to a high standard.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we retain customer and booking records for a period that allows us to respond to queries, manage any disputes or claims arising from our services, and meet statutory retention requirements. This may include retaining financial records for the period required by tax and accounting regulations.
When personal data is no longer needed, we will securely delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Your Data Protection Rights
As a customer or user in the Yeading area, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data under the UK GDPR. These include:
Right of access. You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you and to receive information about how it is processed.
Right to rectification. You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data is corrected or updated.
Right to erasure. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and no other lawful basis applies.
Right to restriction of processing. You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain situations, for example while we are verifying its accuracy or assessing an objection.
Right to object. You may object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests where you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our interests. You also have the right to object to direct marketing at any time.
Right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent or on a contract and carried out by automated means, you may have the right to receive your personal data in a commonly used, machine-readable format and to request that it is transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Where we rely on consent as a lawful basis, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Security of Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks associated with the processing of your data.
