Performance of a contract. We use your personal data to provide our moving and transport services, including generating quotes, managing bookings, communicating about your move, carrying out the work and handling payments. Without this information we would be unable to fulfil our agreement with you.
Legitimate interests. We may process your data where this is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided your rights and interests do not override these. For example, this includes managing and improving our services, handling enquiries and complaints, maintaining records, protecting our business from fraud and maintaining appropriate insurance.
Legal obligations. We may process your personal data to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations, including tax and accounting requirements, record keeping duties and responding to lawful requests from authorities.

Payment processors who handle card or electronic payments securely.
Providers of booking, scheduling, invoicing or customer management tools used to organise our work.
IT and communications service providers who support our systems, data storage and secure backups.
Professional advisers such as accountants or insurance providers, where necessary to manage our business and comply with legal obligations.
Where personal data is shared with third parties, Man with Van Greenford takes steps to ensure that appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place to protect your information.
International transfers
Where any of our service providers or data processors are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for any international transfers of personal data. These may include standard contractual clauses or other recognised protections under data protection law.
