Privacy policy
What happens to the information you send us, set out plainly. Anything unclear here is worth asking about rather than assuming.
Who we are
Uxbridge Removals runs this website and is the data controller for the personal information described below. Our contact details are on the contact page.
What we collect, and what for
The quote form asks for a name, a telephone number, an email address, the two addresses, a moving date where one exists, and whatever you add in the notes. It exists so that we can answer the enquiry, arrange a survey and prepare a quotation.
Contact us by telephone or email instead and we hold only what you choose to tell us, for the same purpose. Google Analytics separately reports anonymous usage — pages opened, approximate location, device type — aggregated and identifying nobody.
Inventories on a long tenure
A survey of a long-held house produces a detailed inventory, and on this kind of work that document is unusually revealing about a household. It is held in the job file, used to prepare the quotation and to run the move, and released to the person who instructed us and to nobody else.
Where goods belonging to other family members are recorded on it, the same applies: the list goes to the person who instructed us, not to anybody who asks.
The basis we rely on
Enquiries and quotations rest on steps taken at your request ahead of a contract. After a booking we rely on performing that contract. Analytics rests on our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used, weighed against the aggregated nature of the data.
Who else sees it
Your enquiry goes to our own lead-handling system so that the right person picks it up. Beyond that it travels only where the job requires — a storage operator where goods are held, a customs agent and carrier on a European move, our insurers if a claim is raised.
Google reCAPTCHA protects the form against automated submissions, so Google receives technical information about your interaction with it. Nothing is sold, and nothing goes to other removals firms.
How long it is kept
Enquiries that never become bookings are held while the move remains a realistic prospect, then deleted. Completed job records, including inventories, are retained for the period accounting, insurance and the law require.
What you can ask for
A copy of what we hold, a correction, a deletion, or an objection to our use of it. Write and we will deal with it. Unhappy with the outcome? The Information Commissioner's Office accepts complaints.
Cookies
We set no advertising or tracking cookies of our own. Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA set theirs, and blocking those breaks nothing here beyond the form's spam protection.
