Scope and Data Controller

Removal Company Mayfair is the data controller for the personal data described in this Privacy Policy. As data controller, Removal Company Mayfair determines the purposes and means of processing personal data and is responsible for ensuring that such processing complies with applicable data protection laws.

Types of Personal Data We Collect

Removal Company Mayfair may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

Identification and contact details: name, title, postal address, email address, and contact numbers you choose to provide, as well as the addresses for collection and delivery locations.

Service and contract information: details of the services you request, property access information relevant to the removal, inventory lists, special handling instructions, and related notes necessary to perform the contract.

Billing and payment information: billing address and transaction records such as amounts paid, payment method type, payment status, and invoicing history. Full payment card details are handled only by secure payment processors and are not stored by Removal Company Mayfair.

Communication records: copies of correspondence, enquiry details, call notes, and any feedback or complaints you provide.

Website and technical information: when you visit our website, we may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, and basic usage data through logs or similar technologies, where permitted by law and subject to your preferences.

Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Data

Removal Company Mayfair processes personal data only where there is a valid lawful basis under data protection law. The main lawful bases we rely on are:

Contract: processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract. This includes providing quotations, planning removals, communicating about bookings, and completing the services you have requested.

Legal obligation: processing is necessary to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as tax, accounting, and insurance obligations, as well as to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.

Legitimate interests: processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of Removal Company Mayfair or a third party, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. Legitimate interests include managing and improving our services, maintaining business records, handling customer queries and complaints, and protecting our business and property.

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

How We Use Personal Data

Removal Company Mayfair uses your personal data for the following purposes:

To provide quotations, respond to enquiries, and administer bookings and contracts for removal and related services.

To plan and carry out removal, packing, transport, and storage operations, including coordinating staff and vehicles and managing access to properties.

To issue invoices, process payments through third-party payment service providers, and maintain financial and accounting records.

To communicate with you about your booking, service updates, changes, and after-service support, including resolving issues or complaints.

To manage risk, improve service quality, train staff, and maintain internal records and documentation.

To comply with legal obligations, respond to legal claims, and cooperate with regulatory or law enforcement authorities where necessary and lawful.

Data Sharing and Processors

Removal Company Mayfair does not sell your personal data. We may share personal data with third parties only where necessary and lawful, including the following categories:

Service providers and processors: trusted third parties that process personal data on our behalf and under our instructions, such as IT and system support providers, secure data storage providers, payment service providers, and customer management system providers. These processors are bound by contractual obligations that require them to protect your data and use it only in accordance with our instructions.

Operational partners: where necessary to fulfil your contract, we may share limited personal data with subcontractors or partner companies assisting with specialist transport, storage, or related services. Such sharing is restricted to what is required to deliver the services you have requested.

Professional advisers: accountants, insurers, auditors, or legal advisers who require access to certain records to provide professional services or to protect our legal rights.

Authorities and legal bodies: law enforcement agencies, regulators, courts, or other public bodies where we are required to do so by law or where it is necessary to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our staff, customers, or the public.

Whenever we use processors, we take steps to ensure that your personal data is handled securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

International Transfers

Removal Company Mayfair aims to keep personal data within the United Kingdom or other jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of data protection. If it becomes necessary to transfer personal data to a country that does not provide the same level of protection, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms, in accordance with data protection laws.

Data Retention

Removal Company Mayfair retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Service and contract records are typically retained for a period that allows us to address queries, manage potential legal claims, and comply with statutory retention obligations. Financial and invoicing information is retained for the period required by tax and accounting laws. Communication records may be kept for a reasonable period to support customer service and complaint handling.

When personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised, or otherwise removed from our systems in accordance with our data retention procedures.

Data Security

Removal Company Mayfair takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, restricted permissions, and staff training on data protection responsibilities.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is entirely secure. If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority in accordance with legal requirements.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under data protection law, individuals whose personal data we process have certain rights. These rights apply to all Removal Company Mayfair customers and prospective customers within our service area, subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions.

Right of access: you have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data, along with certain information about how it is used.

Right to rectification: you have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to erasure: in certain circumstances, you may request the deletion of your personal data, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing.

Right to restriction of processing: you may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as where you contest its accuracy or object to its processing, while we consider your request.

Right to object: you have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests or to direct marketing at any time.

Right to data portability: when processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, transmit it to another controller.

Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
