Data Controller
Movers Camden is the data controller in respect of the personal data we collect and process about you in connection with our services. This means we decide how and why your personal data is used and are responsible for ensuring it is handled lawfully and securely.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different types of personal data depending on how you interact with us and the services you use. The categories of personal data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, title, postal address, service address, billing address, and general location within Camden or the surrounding area.
Contact information, such as your preferred contact method and any other details you choose to provide when making an enquiry, booking a service or requesting a quotation.
Service and booking information, including details of properties you are moving from and to, access information, inventory lists, special handling instructions, dates and times of moves, and service preferences.
Billing and payment information, such as the amount charged, payment method and transaction references. We do not store full payment card details; these are handled by secure payment processors on our behalf.
Communication records, including emails, messages and notes of conversations with you, as well as any feedback, reviews or complaints you submit.
Technical and usage data, such as information about how you access and use our online services, including device information, approximate location, and basic analytics where used to improve our services.
Photographic or descriptive data, which may include photographs of access routes, property entrances or items to be moved, where this is necessary to provide a quotation, plan the move safely or evidence the condition of items where agreed.
How We Collect Personal Data
We collect your personal data in several ways:
Directly from you when you contact us for information, request a quote, book a service, provide instructions, make a payment, submit feedback or otherwise communicate with us.
From your use of our online services, where basic technical and analytics data is generated when you visit or use our website or contact forms.
From third parties, such as comparison or lead generation platforms, partner businesses that refer you to us, or payment service providers that confirm payment status.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the context, we rely on the following lawful bases:
Performance of a contract: We use your personal data to provide our moving and related services, to arrange quotations, confirm bookings, carry out the move, manage payments, and communicate with you about your services.
Compliance with legal obligations: We may process your data to comply with obligations such as record-keeping, tax and accounting requirements, and to respond to lawful requests from authorities.
Legitimate interests: We may process your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your rights and freedoms are not overridden. This includes using data to improve our services, manage our business operations, handle enquiries and complaints, protect our property and rights, and prevent fraud or misuse of our services.
Consent: In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where we send certain types of marketing communications by specific channels. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
To provide, administer and manage moving, packing, storage and related services you request from us.
To create and send quotations, confirm bookings, schedule moves and communicate about any changes or requirements.
To process payments, issue invoices, manage refunds where applicable and maintain financial records.
To respond to your enquiries, requests for information, feedback or complaints and to provide customer support.
To plan moves safely and efficiently, including assessing access, volume of goods and any special handling needs.

To comply with legal and regulatory obligations that apply to our business.
Data Sharing and Processors
We may share your personal data with trusted third parties where necessary for the purposes outlined above and where appropriate safeguards are in place. These third parties may act as data processors on our behalf, processing your data only in accordance with our instructions and data protection obligations.
Categories of recipients may include:
Service partners who assist in the provision of moving, packing or storage services where subcontracting or specialist services are required.
Payment service providers that process your payments securely.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
International Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, such as using standard contractual clauses or ensuring the recipient is in a country with an adequate level of data protection as recognised by applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to meet our legal, accounting or reporting obligations.
In general, we keep customer records, including contact details, service information and invoices, for a period aligned with statutory limitation and tax requirements. Communication records and associated documentation may be retained for a similar period in case of queries, disputes or claims.
Where we no longer need personal data, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures include restricting access to personal data to those employees, agents and processors who have a business need to know it, and requiring them to process data only on our instructions and subject to confidentiality duties.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. These rights include:
The right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with certain information about how it is used.
The right to rectification: You can ask us to correct or update inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
The 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 or where you withdraw consent and no other lawful basis applies.
The right to restrict processing: You can ask us to restrict the use of your personal data in certain situations, such as while we consider a challenge to its accuracy or our use of it.
The right to data portability: In some cases, you can request that we provide you or a third party with personal data you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
The right to object: You may object to certain types of processing, including processing based on our legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation. You also have the right to object at any time to the use of your data for direct marketing.
The right not to be subject to automated decision-making: You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects on you, unless certain limited conditions apply.
You can exercise your rights by contacting us with sufficient information to verify your identity and your request. We will respond in accordance with applicable data protection laws and may request additional information where necessary to confirm your identity.
Complaints and Contact
If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, you can contact us so that we can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed.
