Communication records, such as details of enquiries, quotations, confirmations, complaints, feedback, and any other correspondence you have with us in relation to our services.

How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes.
To provide and manage our services, including responding to enquiries, supplying quotations, confirming bookings, planning routes, and carrying out moves and related transport services.
To manage our relationship with you, including handling customer service queries, responding to feedback or complaints, and providing important updates about booked services.
To administer payments, including issuing invoices, processing payments via approved payment processors, and maintaining appropriate financial records.
To improve and develop our services, including reviewing feedback, monitoring service quality, and analysing how customers use our services so we can make improvements.
To comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as record keeping, tax obligations, and responding to lawful requests from authorities.
To protect our business, our staff, and our customers, including preventing and investigating fraud, ensuring the security of our systems, vehicles, and property, and enforcing our contractual terms.
Lawful Bases for Processing
We rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under the UK GDPR when processing your personal data.
Performance of a contract. We need to process your data to enter into and fulfil our contract with you, for example to provide a quotation, confirm your booking, and carry out the move.
Legitimate interests. We may process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided that these are not overridden by your rights and interests. Examples include improving our services, maintaining appropriate records, and protecting our business from fraud or misuse.
Legal obligations. We may process your data to comply with legal duties, such as tax and accounting requirements, insurance obligations, or responding to lawful requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
Consent. In some cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where you choose to receive certain optional communications that are not strictly necessary for providing our services. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we keep customer records, booking information, and related correspondence for a period consistent with legal limitation periods and tax record keeping obligations. This allows us to respond to queries about past services, deal with potential disputes, and meet our regulatory responsibilities.
Where data is no longer needed, we will either securely delete it or irreversibly anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.
Data Sharing and Processors
We may share your personal data with carefully selected third parties where necessary for the operation of our business and the delivery of our services. These third parties act as data processors or, in some cases, as independent controllers.
Service providers and contractors who help us deliver our services, such as subcontracted drivers, removal teams, or storage providers, may receive details such as your name, contact information, and service address when needed to complete the move.
Payment processors and financial institutions may process payment related information to complete transactions and manage refunds or chargebacks where necessary.
Professional advisers such as accountants, auditors, or insurance providers may have access to certain records where required for accounting, auditing, claims handling, or legal advice.
Regulatory and law enforcement authorities may receive data where we are required or permitted to disclose information to comply with legal obligations or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, staff, or others.
Where we engage third party processors, we require them to use your personal data only as necessary to provide the contracted services and to protect it in line with data protection laws.
International Transfers
Our primary operations are based in the United Kingdom. If we ever need to transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include the use of standard contractual clauses or transfers to countries that have been recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.
Security of Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures include limiting access to personal data to those staff and contractors who require it to perform their duties, using secure methods of communication where appropriate, and keeping our systems under review to maintain security standards.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights apply to all Man with Van Enfield Town customers and prospective customers in our service area, subject to certain legal limitations and exemptions.
Right of access. You have the right to request confirmation that we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data, along with information about how it is used.
Right to rectification. You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
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 needed for the purpose for which it was collected and we have no other legal basis to retain it.
Right to restriction of processing. You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as while we are verifying its accuracy or considering an objection you have raised.
Right to object. You may have the right to object to our processing of your personal data based on our legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will stop processing the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
Right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent or on a contract and carried out by automated means, you may request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to withdraw consent. Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal.
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 protection practices. Any updated version will apply to all Man with Van Enfield Town customers and prospective customers in our service area from the date it is published. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we process your personal data.
