Who we are
Margate Removals is the data controller for information you send through this website. Our contact address for data protection matters is hello@margate-removals.co.uk.
What we collect
When you complete the quote form we collect your name, phone number, email address, the pickup and drop-off addresses, your preferred moving date if you give one, and anything you write in the notes. If you email us, we hold the contents of that email.
The quote form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA. Google receives technical information about the request in order to tell a person from an automated submission, subject to Google’s own privacy policy and terms.
Keyholders and third parties at the property
Where you nominate a keyholder, a cleaner, a letting agent or anybody else who will be at the property, we hold their name and a contact number for the purpose of the job only. We do not add them to anything, we do not contact them about anything else, and we delete those details with the rest of the file.
Please make sure the person you nominate knows you have given us their details.
Condition photographs
We photograph properties at both ends as a matter of course and send the photographs to you. They are held with the job file as our own record of the condition of the property, and they are deleted with it. They are not published, not used in marketing, and not shared with anybody who is not party to the job.
Why we hold it
To prepare and send a quote, and to organise the work if you go ahead. That is our legitimate interest in responding to an enquiry you started, and where you book, our performance of a contract with you.
We do not use your details for marketing unless you ask us to, and we do not sell or pass them to lead-generation companies.
Who sees it
Our own staff and crew, and our hosting and email providers, who process it on our behalf under contract. If the job involves a storage facility or a partner crew at the delivery end, we share only what they need to do the work.
How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not become bookings are deleted once they are plainly stale. Completed jobs are kept for as long as we need them for accounting, insurance and claims purposes, and then deleted.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email hello@margate-removals.co.uk and we will deal with it. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a request you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
