Legal obligation: We may process your data where this is necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, such as record keeping, tax and accounting requirements, and responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
Legitimate interests: We may process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. This may include managing our relationship with you, improving our services, protecting our business, and handling enquiries or complaints.
Consent: In limited circumstances we may rely on your consent, for example where we use optional cookies or where we send certain types of direct marketing communications that require consent. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
To provide quotes, manage bookings and deliver our moving and related services.
To communicate with you about your requests, bookings, service updates and any changes that may affect you.
To process payments, issue invoices and maintain accurate financial and business records.

Data Retention
Movers Enfield retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and to meet any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
In general, we will store your core customer and contract information for a period that reflects applicable limitation periods for legal claims and statutory record-keeping obligations. After this period, data will be securely deleted, anonymised or archived where it is no longer required for the original purpose.
The exact retention period may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the services provided and our legal obligations. We review our retention periods regularly to ensure that data is not kept for longer than necessary.
Data Sharing And Processors
We may share your personal data with third parties where this is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, where we have a legal obligation to do so, or where you have provided your consent.
Service providers acting as data processors may assist us with activities such as secure data hosting, information technology support, payment processing, accounting and administration. These providers are only permitted to process your personal data on our instructions and must provide appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it.
In some cases we may need to share limited personal data with subcontractors or partner organisations involved in delivering your move, such as additional vehicles or specialist services, where this is necessary to complete your booking.
We may also disclose your information to professional advisers, insurers, regulators or law enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law, to protect our rights or to help detect and prevent fraud or other unlawful activity.
We do not sell your personal data.
International Transfers
Movers Enfield aims to keep your personal data within the United Kingdom or within locations that provide an adequate level of data protection. If it becomes necessary to transfer your personal data outside the United Kingdom, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent lawful mechanisms, to protect your information.
How We Protect Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data we hold against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures may include restricted access controls, secure storage solutions, staff training, internal policies and regular review of our security practices.
While we do our best to protect your personal information, no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed as completely secure. You also play a role in protecting your data by keeping your own information and any account details, where relevant, safe and secure.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data held by Movers Enfield. Subject to certain conditions and lawful exceptions, these include:
Right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we hold personal data about you and obtain a copy of that data.
Right to rectification: You can request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data is corrected or updated.
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 purpose for which it was collected.
Right to restriction of processing: You can ask us to restrict how we use your data in certain situations, such as while we are considering a request for rectification.
Right to data portability: Where the processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format, or that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object: You can object to processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, including certain forms of direct marketing, and we will consider your request in light of our legal obligations and your specific circumstances.
Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been infringed. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can seek to resolve any concerns.
Children's Data
Movers Enfield services are not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we discover that we hold personal data relating to a child in circumstances where consent or another lawful basis has not been properly established, we will take steps to delete that information.
