This Privacy Policy explains how Removal Companies Kensington collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data relating to customers and potential customers in the Kensington area. It is designed to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using our services as a customer in the area, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to all Removal Companies Kensington customers, as well as individuals who enquire about or use our services, within the Kensington area. It covers personal data collected through our website, by phone, in person, and through any other communication or booking channels we use to provide removal and related services.
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data when you contact us, request a quote, make a booking, or use our services:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, address, property access details, and general location information relevant to your move.
Communication details, including information you provide when you contact us for quotes, make enquiries, give feedback, or lodge complaints.
Service and booking information, such as the date and time of your move, collection and delivery addresses, inventory or description of goods to be moved, special handling requirements, and any notes relevant to carrying out the service.
Payment and transaction information, which may include payment confirmations and billing details. Where card payments are processed through third party payment processors, we do not retain full card details.
Technical data, which may include IP address, device information, and basic usage data about how you interact with our website, where applicable and to the extent necessary for site operation, security, and basic analytics.
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us by phone, complete forms on our website, request a quotation, make or amend a booking, or when you communicate with us in writing or in person.
We may also obtain personal data from third parties where you have authorised them to share information with us, for example comparison sites, partner agents, or referring businesses used for arranging removal services in the Kensington area.
We rely on the following lawful bases under the UK GDPR to process your personal data:
Contractual necessity: We process your personal data where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, such as providing quotes, confirming bookings, planning routes, and carrying out the removal service.
Legitimate interests: We process data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided your rights and freedoms do not override these interests. This includes managing our business operations, improving our services, responding to enquiries, maintaining records, and ensuring the security of our staff, vehicles, and customers.
Legal obligation: We may process your personal data when it is necessary to comply with legal obligations, including tax, accounting, and insurance requirements or to respond to lawful requests from authorities.
Consent: In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain forms of marketing communication where required by law. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide removal and related services, including preparing quotations, planning logistics, delivering your items, and handling any follow up queries.
To manage customer relationships, including handling enquiries, comments, compliments, and complaints.
To administer bookings and payments, including issuing invoices, processing transactions through our chosen payment processors, and maintaining financial records.
To improve and develop our services, for example by analysing common queries, reviewing operational performance, and training staff.
To maintain safety and security, including the safety of our staff and customers and the security of your possessions while they are in our care.
To meet legal and regulatory requirements, such as record keeping, accounting, insurance purposes, and responding to lawful requests from regulatory bodies.
We may share your personal data with trusted third parties who act as data processors on our behalf. These processors are engaged under written contracts that require them to protect your data and use it only in accordance with our documented instructions.
Categories of processors we may use include:
IT and hosting providers who support our websites, booking systems, and data storage.
Customer management and communication service providers used for handling enquiries, scheduling jobs, or managing customer interactions.
Payment service providers who securely process card or online payments in line with relevant security standards.
Professional advisers, such as accountants, insurers, or legal advisers, where necessary to manage our business and comply with legal obligations.
Where necessary, and only when lawful, we may also share data with law enforcement, regulators, or other authorities.
We do not sell your personal data.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law and regulations.
Customer and booking records are typically kept for a period that allows us to manage our relationship with you, handle any complaints or disputes, and meet our tax and accounting obligations. After this period, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
Data used purely for enquiries, where no contract is formed, may be retained for a shorter period to allow us to follow up on your query and to manage business records. Marketing preferences are kept for as long as you remain opted in and are deleted or suppressed when you opt out.
Our core operations are based in the United Kingdom and we aim to keep your personal data within the UK or the European Economic Area where possible. If we need to use a processor or service provider located outside the UK or EEA, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections, to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures may include restricted access to systems, secure storage of physical records, staff training on data protection responsibilities, and steps to ensure that any processors we use maintain appropriate security standards.
As a data subject under the UK GDPR, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights apply to all Removal Companies Kensington customers in the Kensington area, subject to certain legal limitations:
Right of access: You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with certain information about how it is used.
Right to rectification: You may ask us to correct or complete personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no longer a lawful basis for us to retain or use it, subject to our legal and regulatory requirements.
Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we restrict our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we verify its accuracy or consider an objection you have raised.
Right to object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and we will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where processing is required for legal claims.
Right to data portability: In certain cases, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine readable format or transmit it to another controller where technically feasible and lawful.
Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights or have questions about how we handle your personal data, you can contact Removal Companies Kensington using the contact details provided on our website or through the usual communication channels you use to reach us. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request to protect your data from unauthorised access.
If you are concerned about how we process your personal data, you can contact us in the first instance so that we can try to resolve your concerns. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority for data protection in the United Kingdom.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or data processing practices. Any updated version will be made available through our usual customer communication channels, and the revised policy will apply from the date it is published.
