We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. The main lawful bases we rely on are:
Contractual necessity: We process personal data to provide our services, respond to enquiries, give quotes, confirm bookings, carry out moves, and manage payments. Without this information, we may be unable to enter into or perform a contract with you.
Legitimate interests: We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your rights and freedoms are not overridden, for example to manage our operations, protect our business, improve our services, ensure security, and handle customer queries and complaints.
Legal obligations: We may process certain data to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, for example relating to tax, accounting, insurance, or responding to lawful requests from authorities.
Consent: In limited situations, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of optional marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.

6. Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with trusted third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:
Service providers acting as data processors who support our operations, such as information technology and hosting providers, payment processors, and providers of business and administrative services. These processors are only permitted to process your data in accordance with our instructions and must protect it appropriately.
Professional advisers such as accountants, auditors, or legal advisers, where this is necessary for legitimate business and legal purposes.
Regulatory bodies, government authorities, law enforcement agencies, and insurers, where we are legally required to do so or where such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety or that of our customers or others.
Where we use data processors based outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, in accordance with data protection law.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of providing our services, complying with legal, accounting, and reporting requirements, and handling potential disputes.
In general:
Booking and service records, including basic contact details and service information, are kept for a period that allows us to meet legal, tax, and insurance obligations and to address any issues that may arise after a move.
Financial records, including invoices and related documents, are kept for the period required by applicable tax and accounting laws.
Communications and enquiries that do not lead to a booking may be retained for a limited time for administrative purposes and then deleted or anonymised.
When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
8. Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include limiting access to personal data to staff and service providers who need it for legitimate business purposes and requiring them to handle the data in a confidential and secure manner.
While we take reasonable steps to protect personal data, no system or transmission of data can be guaranteed as completely secure. You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions when sharing personal information with us and for safeguarding any communication channels you use.
