Identification and contact details: name, address, pick-up and drop-off addresses, telephone numbers, and any other contact details you choose to provide when you get in touch with us.

Correspondence and feedback: information that you provide when you leave feedback, make a complaint, or otherwise correspond with us.

How We Collect Your Data

We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us by phone, through online enquiry forms, or via other communication methods that you use to request information or services. We may also receive your details from third parties where they are lawfully permitted to share your information with us, for example, comparison platforms or referral partners you have engaged with to find man and van services in Enfield Highway.

Lawful Basis for Processing

We only process your personal data where a lawful basis applies under data protection law. The main lawful bases we rely on are:

Contract: we process your personal data to provide you with quotes, confirm bookings, deliver man and van services, manage payments, and handle any aftercare or follow up. This processing is necessary for entering into or performing a contract with you.

Legal obligation: in some cases, we are legally required to retain and process certain information, for example financial records for tax and accounting purposes, and to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

Legitimate interests: we may process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and these interests are not overridden by your rights. This includes managing our customer relationships, improving services, ensuring the security of our operations, and handling queries or complaints.

Consent: where required by law, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We use your personal data to:

Respond to enquiries and provide quotations for man and van services in Enfield Highway.

Set up, manage, and fulfil your booking, including planning routes, arranging vehicles, and coordinating staff.

Process payments, manage invoices, and maintain accurate financial records.

Communicate with you about your booking, including confirmations, updates, and any necessary changes.

Handle customer service issues, complaints, and feedback so we can resolve any concerns and improve our services.

Protect our business, our customers, and our staff, including for security, fraud prevention, and to enforce our contractual terms.

Meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including record keeping and responding to requests from public authorities where required by law.

Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Customer and booking records: personal data relating to quotes, bookings, and the delivery of services is generally retained for a period that allows us to respond to queries, manage potential disputes, and comply with tax and accounting obligations. This will usually be between six and seven years from the end of our relationship with you, unless a longer period is required by law.

Enquiries without booking: if you make an enquiry but do not proceed with a booking, we may retain your information for a limited period to respond to follow-up queries and for internal reporting and analysis, after which it will be securely deleted or anonymised.

Marketing information: where you have agreed to receive marketing communications, we will retain the relevant data until you withdraw your consent or object to such processing, or until we determine it is no longer necessary.

Data Sharing and Processors

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with selected third parties where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and where appropriate safeguards are in place.

Service providers: we may use third-party service providers acting as data processors who assist us with functions such as payment processing, IT support, data storage, accounting, and communications. These processors act on our instructions and are only permitted to use your personal data to provide contracted services to us.

Professional advisers: we may share data with professional advisers such as accountants, insurers, or legal advisers where necessary for our business operations, for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or to obtain professional advice.

Authorities and regulators: we may disclose personal data where required to do so by law or in response to a valid request from a public authority, regulatory body, or law enforcement agency.

Business transfers: if we undergo a business reorganisation, sale, or transfer of all or part of our operations, your personal data may be transferred as part of that process, in which case the new controller will continue to use your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy or an updated policy which will be communicated to you.

International Transfers

Where we use service providers located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, such as using standard contractual clauses or relying on other lawful transfer mechanisms recognised under data protection law.

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data we hold against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include limiting access to personal data to staff and service providers who have a business need to know it and who are subject to confidentiality obligations. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

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 Highway customers in the Enfield Highway area, subject to certain legal limitations and conditions. Your rights include:

Right of access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how we use it.

Right to rectification: you can ask us to correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to erasure: in certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal requirement to retain it.

Right to restriction: you can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, for example while we are verifying its accuracy or considering an objection you have raised.

Right to object: you can object to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests as our lawful basis. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for legal claims.

Right to data portability: in certain circumstances, you can request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or ask us to transmit it directly to another controller where this is technically feasible.

Rights relating to consent: where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you can withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before consent was withdrawn.

Complaints and Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, or if you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights, you can contact us using the usual contact details you use to communicate with Man with Van Enfield Highway. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you are unhappy with how we process your personal data.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Any changes will be effective when the updated version is made available. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
