Who We Are
Holland Park Man and Van is a man and van service provider operating in and around the Holland Park area. When this Privacy Policy refers to we, us, or our, it means Holland Park Man and Van as the controller of your personal data. As the controller, we decide how and why your personal information is processed.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different types of personal data depending on how you interact with us. This may include:
Identification and contact details such as your name, address, pick-up and drop-off addresses, email address, and any other contact details you choose to provide when you contact us or book a service.
Booking and service information such as the date and time of your booking, type of service requested, inventory or description of items to be moved, access details for properties, and any special instructions you provide.
Communication records such as information you provide in phone calls, text-based messages, or other communications with us, including enquiries, complaints, and feedback.
Payment-related information such as payment status, method of payment and transaction details. We do not store your full card details if payment is made through a third-party payment processor.
Technical and usage information such as basic device and browser information, and how you interact with our website or online forms, to the extent that this is collected through standard logs or similar tools.
Any other information you choose to provide to us that is relevant to organising and delivering our services.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us by phone or through online forms, when you request a quote, make a booking, or communicate with us about an existing or previous booking. We may also receive personal data about you from third parties where you have authorised someone else to arrange a service on your behalf, or where a third party passes us your details to complete a booking.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We rely on different lawful bases under the UK GDPR depending on the purpose of our processing:
Contractual necessity: We process your personal data to enter into and perform a contract with you, for example to provide a quote, confirm and manage your booking, deliver the requested services, communicate about your booking, and handle payments.
Legitimate interests: We process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This may include improving our services, managing our relationship with you, maintaining records of past moves, and protecting our business from fraud or misuse.
Legal obligations: We may process and retain certain personal data to comply with legal, regulatory, or tax obligations, such as record-keeping and accounting requirements.
Consent: In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of optional marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To respond to your enquiries and provide quotes for our services.
To create and manage your bookings, schedule jobs, and deliver the services you request.
To communicate with you about your booking, including confirmations, updates, and any changes or issues.
To manage payments, refunds, and related financial transactions.
To provide customer support, handle complaints, and resolve disputes.
To maintain internal records of services provided and transactions completed.
To improve our services, processes, and customer experience, including reviewing feedback.
To comply with legal and regulatory obligations and to protect our rights, property, and safety, including in connection with preventing fraud or misuse.
Data Sharing and Processors
We may share your personal data with selected third parties where necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.
Service providers and processors: We may use third-party service providers to support our operations, such as payment processors, IT system providers, website hosting, and administrative support services. These third parties only process your personal data on our instructions and are required to protect your data and keep it confidential.
Drivers and subcontractors: Where we use trusted drivers or subcontractors to fulfil your booking, we may share relevant information such as your name, contact details, address, and service requirements so that they can complete the job.
Professional advisers and authorities: We may share personal data with professional advisers including accountants or legal advisers, or with law enforcement and regulatory authorities, where necessary to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
Data Transfers
Our services are primarily provided within the United Kingdom. If it becomes necessary to transfer your personal data outside the UK or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws, such as using standard contractual clauses or transferring to countries that have been formally recognised as providing an adequate level of protection.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we keep booking and transaction records for a period required by tax and accounting rules. Communications and other records may be kept for a reasonable period to respond to queries, manage potential disputes, and improve our services. When personal data is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Security of Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include limiting access to personal data to those who need it for their role, using appropriate security controls for our systems, and requiring any third parties who process data on our behalf to implement suitable safeguards.
While we take reasonable steps to secure your information, no system can be completely secure. You should take care when sending information to us and ensure that any device or channel you use is appropriately protected.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under the UK GDPR, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be subject to certain conditions and legal exceptions, but we will respect and facilitate them wherever possible.
Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation that we process your personal data and to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification: You have the right to ask us to correct or complete personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to ask us to delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purpose 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 can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as where you contest its accuracy or object to its processing.
Right to data portability: In some cases, you have the right to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to request that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is required for legal claims.
Rights relating to consent: Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights under data protection law or have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, you can contact us using the usual contact methods you use to reach Holland Park Man and Van.
