This Privacy Policy explains how Man and Van Swiss Cottage collects, uses, stores and protects personal data relating to customers and prospective customers in the Swiss Cottage area. It is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and all applicable data protection laws. By requesting a quote, booking a service or otherwise interacting with Man and Van Swiss Cottage, you acknowledge that your personal data will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Scope and who this policy applies to
This Privacy Policy applies to all Man and Van Swiss Cottage customers and prospective customers in the Swiss Cottage area, including individuals, households and business clients who contact us, request information, obtain quotations or use our services. It also applies to visitors who access our information and choose to provide personal data to us in connection with our man and van services.
Personal data we collect
Man and Van Swiss Cottage collects and processes personal data that is necessary to provide and manage our services. The types of personal data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details such as name, address, service addresses, billing address and basic contact details required to provide our services.
Service and booking information such as preferred service date and time, collection and delivery addresses, access details and any special instructions you provide to enable us to carry out your move or delivery safely and efficiently.
Correspondence and communication data such as information contained in messages you send to us, feedback you provide, and records of communications related to enquiries, bookings, complaints or support.
Payment-related information such as payment confirmations and transaction details necessary for invoicing and accounting. We do not store full payment card details when third party payment processors are used.
Technical and usage information where relevant, such as basic technical data about how you access our information, to the extent required for security, service delivery or analytics. This may include date and time of interaction and technical identifiers depending on the tools or platforms used.
How we collect personal data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us to request a quotation, make a booking, ask a question or provide feedback. This may be by phone, via an online form, through messaging tools or in person.
We may also receive personal data from third parties where necessary to provide our services, for example if another person books our services on your behalf, or where business partners provide booking details to us. In such cases we take reasonable steps to ensure that the information is accurate and that you have been informed about the sharing of your data.
Lawful basis for processing your data
Man and Van Swiss Cottage processes personal data only where we have a valid lawful basis under the UK GDPR. Depending on the specific activity, the lawful bases we rely on include:
Contractual necessity where processing is required to enter into or perform a contract with you, such as when you request a quote, book a service or ask us to take pre-contractual steps.
Legal obligation where processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws, such as tax, accounting or regulatory requirements, including retention of certain records.
Legitimate interests where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. These interests may include operating and improving our services, preventing fraud, securing our systems, managing enquiries and defending legal claims.
Consent where you have given clear consent for a specific purpose, for example certain types of marketing communications where required by law. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, and this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
How we use your personal data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide and manage our services including handling enquiries, preparing and sending quotations, confirming bookings, planning routes, carrying out moves and deliveries, and managing after-service support.
To communicate with you including responding to questions, confirming details of your bookings, providing updates about scheduled services, and dealing with any complaints or feedback.
To manage our business operations including accounting, invoicing, debt recovery, record keeping, quality control, training and internal reporting.
To maintain safety and security including verifying addresses and access instructions, managing incidents and protecting our staff, vehicles and property.
To comply with legal and regulatory obligations including retention of financial records and responding to lawful requests from public authorities where required.
To improve our services including analysing service usage patterns, enhancing customer experience and tailoring our services to the needs of customers in the Swiss Cottage area.
Data sharing and processors
Man and Van Swiss Cottage may share personal data with carefully selected third parties where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and permitted by law. These third parties may act as data processors, processing your data on our behalf and under our instructions. Categories of such processors may include:
Payment and billing service providers who process payment transactions and assist with invoicing and accounting.
IT and technical service providers who host or support our systems, communication tools and data storage, and who may have controlled access to personal data to provide these services.
Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where necessary for compliance, auditing, or in connection with legal claims or regulatory matters.
Other service partners such as subcontracted drivers or additional vehicles where required to fulfil your booking, and only to the extent needed to provide the requested services.
Where third parties act as processors, we require them to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data and to process it only in accordance with our documented instructions and applicable data protection law.
We may also share personal data with public authorities, law enforcement or regulatory bodies where we are legally required or permitted to do so.
Data retention
Man and Van Swiss Cottage keeps personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and to meet any legal, accounting or reporting obligations.
In general, we retain customer and booking records for a period that allows us to manage ongoing services, handle any queries or disputes, comply with tax and accounting rules and demonstrate compliance with our obligations. At the end of the relevant retention period, we securely delete or anonymise personal data so that it can no longer be linked back to an identifiable individual.
The exact retention period may vary depending on the type of data, the nature of the service provided and applicable legal requirements. Factors considered include statutory limitation periods for claims, regulatory guidance and operational needs.
International transfers
Where personal data is processed or stored outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area by our service providers, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. These safeguards may include the use of recognised transfer mechanisms or contractual protections that ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Data security
Man and Van Swiss Cottage takes data security seriously and implements appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. Measures may include access controls, secure storage, minimisation of data collected and staff awareness.
While no system can be entirely secure, we continuously review our security measures and adjust them in line with technological developments and risk assessments relevant to our man and van operations in the Swiss Cottage area.
Your data protection rights
Under data protection law, you have certain rights in relation to your personal data processed by Man and Van Swiss Cottage. These include:
The right of access to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data, together with information about how it is used.
The right to rectification to request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data.
The right to erasure, in certain circumstances, to request that we delete personal data where there is no longer a lawful basis for us to retain it, subject to legal obligations and legitimate interests.
The right to restrict processing in certain cases, for example where you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing and we are verifying the position.
The right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including certain types of direct marketing, in which case we will stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.
The right to data portability where applicable, allowing you to receive personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
Where processing is based on consent, the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Exercising your rights and complaints
If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights in relation to the services of Man and Van Swiss Cottage, or if you have questions about how your personal data is handled, you can contact us using the normal communication channels you use to arrange our services.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority if you believe that your data protection rights have been infringed. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concerns directly.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
Man and Van Swiss Cottage may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, in how we process personal data or in applicable legal requirements. Any changes will take effect when the updated policy is made available.
