This policy applies to all Movers Belsize Park customers and prospective customers in the area, including individuals and business contacts who engage with our moving and related services.
Scope and Data Controller
Movers Belsize Park is the data controller for the personal data described in this Privacy Policy. This means that Movers Belsize Park determines the purposes and means of processing your personal data and is responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws. This Privacy Policy applies to personal data processed in connection with enquiries, quotations, bookings, service delivery, aftercare, and any related communications with customers in the Belsize Park area.

Technical and usage data related to our website and online tools, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and interaction data, collected through server logs and similar technologies. This is generally processed in an aggregated or pseudonymised form wherever possible.
How We Collect Personal Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us by phone, through online forms, in person, or through other communication channels to request information, obtain a quotation, or make a booking. We may also collect additional information when you provide feedback, leave reviews, or contact us with queries or complaints.
In some cases, we may receive limited personal data about you from third parties, such as comparison websites, referral partners, or business partners, where you have expressed an interest in our services or requested that your details be shared with moving companies in the Belsize Park area.
Lawful Bases for Processing
Movers Belsize Park only processes personal data where there is a lawful basis under the GDPR. The main lawful bases we rely on are:
Contractual necessity: We process personal data to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, and to perform a contract for moving and related services. This includes providing quotations, managing bookings, delivering services, and handling payments.
Legitimate interests: We process personal 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 managing our relationship with customers, maintaining and improving our services, preventing fraud, securing our systems, and handling basic marketing communications to existing customers about similar services.
Legal obligation: We process personal data where necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including record-keeping, tax, accounting, and responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
Consent: In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain optional marketing communications or the use of non-essential cookies or similar technologies. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
How We Use Personal Data
Movers Belsize Park uses personal data for the following purposes:
To respond to enquiries, provide quotations, and give information about our services.
To manage bookings, plan and perform moves, and provide related services requested by you.
To process payments, issue invoices, and maintain accurate financial and service records.
To communicate with you about your booking, any changes, and aftercare or follow-up messages.
To improve our services, train staff, and manage quality and customer satisfaction.
To comply with legal obligations and to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
To send limited marketing communications about our services where permitted by law and where you have not opted out.
Data Retention
Movers Belsize Park retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. In general:
Service and booking records, including contact details and move details, are usually kept for a period that enables us to manage our relationship with you, respond to queries, and meet legal obligations.
Financial and transaction records are kept for the retention periods required under applicable tax and accounting laws.
Marketing contact information is retained while you remain subscribed or until you opt out, after which we will retain a minimal record to ensure we respect your opt-out request.
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data will be securely deleted, anonymised, or archived in a way that ensures it is no longer used for active processing.
Data Sharing and Processors
Movers Belsize Park does not sell personal data. We may share personal data with third parties where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with data protection law. These third parties may include:
Service providers acting as data processors, such as IT support providers, hosting companies, customer relationship management systems, email and communication platforms, payment processors, and accounting or administrative service providers. These processors only process personal data on our instructions and are subject to strict confidentiality and security obligations.
Professional advisers, including accountants, auditors, or legal advisers, where necessary for business operations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Public authorities, regulators, or law enforcement agencies, where required by law or where we consider it necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of our customers, staff, or others.
If Movers Belsize Park is involved in a business reorganisation, merger, or similar transaction, limited personal data may be shared with relevant parties under appropriate safeguards.
International Transfers
Where Movers Belsize Park uses service providers located outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, personal data may be transferred internationally. In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses, to provide a level of protection for your personal data that is essentially equivalent to that in the UK and EU.
Data Security
Movers Belsize Park implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include access controls, secure systems and devices, staff training, and procedures for handling and reporting data protection incidents. While we take these steps to protect personal data, no system can be completely secure and you should take care when sharing information with us.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data, subject to certain conditions and exceptions. These rights include:
The right to be informed about how your personal data is used, as set out in this Privacy Policy.
The right of access to obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data.
The right to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
The right to erasure in certain circumstances, for example where data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal basis for continued processing.
The right to restrict processing in certain situations, such as where you contest the accuracy of personal data or object to processing and we are considering your request.
The right to data portability, allowing you to request the transfer of certain personal data to another controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling, and to object to direct marketing at any time.
The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significant effects, unless permitted by law and subject to appropriate safeguards.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you can contact Movers Belsize Park using the contact details provided on our website or service documentation. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.
Complaints and Contact

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority for data protection in the country where you live or work or where you consider that a breach of data protection law has occurred.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Movers Belsize Park may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or services. Any significant changes will be communicated in an appropriate way, and the latest version will apply to all ongoing processing of personal data.
