It applies to all Man With A Van Brentcross customers in the area, whether services are booked for home moves, office moves, item delivery, or related transport assistance.

1. Who We Are

For the purposes of data protection law, Man With A Van Brentcross acts as the data controller for the personal information we collect and use in connection with our services. This means we decide why and how your personal data is processed. We only process personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so and where it is necessary to provide our services, manage our business, meet legal obligations, or protect our legitimate interests in a fair and proportionate way.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information that is relevant and necessary for providing moving and transport services. This may include:

  • Identity information such as your name and, where relevant, business name.
  • Contact details such as your telephone number and email address.
  • Address and location details such as pickup and delivery addresses, access notes, and parking instructions.
  • Booking details such as service type, moving date, time preferences, inventory lists, and special handling requests.
  • Payment and billing information needed to process transactions, issue invoices, and keep financial records.
  • Communication records including emails, messages, call notes, complaints, and service-related correspondence.
  • Usage and technical data if you interact with our online services, such as device information, browser type, and basic analytics data.
  • Special instructions that may be required to safely carry out your move, such as access restrictions or fragile item handling.

We do not intentionally collect more data than is required. We also do not seek to gather sensitive information unless you choose to provide it and it is genuinely necessary for service delivery or legal compliance.

3. How We Use Your Personal Data

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  • To provide moving, loading, transport, and delivery services.
  • To manage bookings, quotes, scheduling, and customer support.
  • To communicate with you before, during, and after service delivery.
  • To prepare invoices, receive payments, and maintain financial records.
  • To handle complaints, claims, and service enquiries.
  • To improve our operations, training, planning, and service quality.
  • To maintain security, prevent fraud, and protect our property, staff, and customers.
  • To comply with legal, accounting, and tax obligations.

We will always ensure that our use of personal data is proportionate and limited to what is necessary for the purpose concerned.

4. Lawful Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when permitted by law. Depending on the situation, our lawful bases may include:

Contract

We process your personal data where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you. This includes managing bookings, arranging moving services, processing payments, and delivering the services you requested.

Legal Obligation

We may process and retain certain information to meet our legal obligations, such as accounting, tax, insurance, and record-keeping requirements.

Legitimate Interests

We may use personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Examples include service management, customer support, business improvement, internal administration, and fraud prevention.

Consent

In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where it is required for optional marketing activities or certain non-essential processing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

5. Sharing Your Information

We may share personal data with trusted processors and service providers who help us operate our business. These may include:

  • Payment processors that handle card or electronic payments securely.
  • Accounting and bookkeeping providers that support financial administration and tax compliance.
  • IT and cloud service providers that store data or support our systems, backups, and security.
  • Communication service providers that help us send emails or manage customer messages.
  • Insurance providers, advisers, or legal professionals where necessary for claims, disputes, or compliance.

We require all processors to handle personal data securely, to use it only according to our instructions, and to comply with data protection law. We do not sell your personal information.

6. International Transfers

Where any processor stores or processes data outside the UK, we will take appropriate safeguards to protect your personal information. These may include adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses, or equivalent legal protections. We ensure that any transfer is carried out lawfully and securely.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and in line with legal and operational needs. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, but in general:

  • Booking and service records are retained for as long as needed to manage the service and resolve queries.
  • Financial and tax records are retained for the period required by law and standard accounting practice.
  • Communication records are kept for a reasonable period to support customer service and evidence of instructions.
  • Complaint or claims-related records may be retained longer where needed to defend legal claims or meet insurance requirements.

When data is no longer needed, we will securely delete, anonymise, or destroy it.

8. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, staff confidentiality obligations, and regular review of our data-handling practices. Although no system can be completely secure, we take data protection seriously and work to reduce risks wherever possible.

9. Your Rights

Under data protection law, you have a number of rights regarding your personal data. Subject to legal limits and verification requirements, these may include:

  • The right to be informed about how your data is collected and used.
  • The right of access to a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

  • The right to restrict processing in some situations.
  • The right to data portability for certain information you have provided to us.
  • The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.
  • Rights related to automated decision-making where such processing applies.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, we will respond within the time limits set by law. We may need to verify your identity before actioning your request.

10. Children’s Data

Our services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children except where it is incidentally included in a booking or service arrangement provided by an adult customer. If we become aware that we have collected such data without a lawful basis, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. Marketing

We may send service-related messages where necessary for the performance of a contract or legitimate business communication. We will only send marketing communications where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent. You may opt out of marketing at any time. We will respect your preferences and stop such communications promptly.

12. Complaints and Your Right to Raise Concerns

If you have concerns about how your personal data is handled, we encourage you to raise them so we can review and address the issue. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data protection rights have been breached. We aim to handle all privacy matters fairly, promptly, and transparently.
