Directly from you when you contact Movers Brixton by phone, through a website form, or in writing to request a quote, make a booking, or ask a question.
During the delivery of services, when you provide further details required to complete a move, such as access instructions or updated contact information.
From third party service providers, such as payment processors, who supply confirmation that a payment has been authorised or completed.
Automatically through website technologies, where limited technical and usage information is required to maintain the security and performance of the website.
Lawful Bases for Processing
Movers Brixton processes personal data only when there is a lawful basis to do so. The main lawful bases relied upon are:
Contract: Processing is necessary to enter into and perform a contract with you, including providing quotes, confirming bookings, delivering moving services, handling payments, and communicating with you about your move.
Legal obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as tax, accounting, insurance, and record keeping obligations.
Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of Movers Brixton in operating and improving the business, such as managing customer relationships, ensuring the security of systems and property, handling queries and complaints, and preventing fraud, provided your rights and interests do not override those interests.
Consent: On occasion, Movers Brixton may rely on your consent, for example if you choose to receive certain optional marketing communications. Where consent is used, you can withdraw it at any time.

Categories of recipients may include:
Service providers and contractors who support Movers Brixton operations, such as IT and hosting providers, communication platforms, and customer management systems. These organisations act as data processors and only process personal data on documented instructions from Movers Brixton.

International Transfers
Where any service providers or systems used by Movers Brixton involve transferring personal data outside the United Kingdom, Movers Brixton will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses, so that your data remains protected to standards equivalent to those in the United Kingdom.
Data Retention
Movers Brixton keeps personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, customer and booking records are retained for a period that allows Movers Brixton to respond to questions about services provided, comply with tax and accounting rules, and manage any potential legal claims. After the relevant retention period expires, data is securely deleted, anonymised, or archived in a manner that no longer identifies individuals.
Data Security
Movers Brixton takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures may include restricted access to systems, secure storage methods, and staff awareness of data protection responsibilities.
While Movers Brixton strives to protect personal data, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Individuals are encouraged to take care when providing personal data and to report any suspected security issues involving Movers Brixton promptly.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, individuals have a number of rights in relation to their personal data processed by Movers Brixton. These rights apply subject to certain conditions and exemptions.
Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation of whether Movers Brixton processes your personal data and to request a copy of that data, along with information about how it is used.
Right to rectification: You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal data held about you is corrected or updated.
Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that your personal data is deleted, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal requirement to retain it.
Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that the use of your personal data is limited in certain situations, for example while a dispute about its accuracy or use is being resolved.
Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, you may have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where it is based on legitimate interests, including profiling based on those interests. Movers Brixton will stop processing unless there are compelling legitimate grounds to continue or the processing is required for legal claims.
Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Exercising Your Rights and Complaints
If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights in relation to Movers Brixton, you can contact Movers Brixton using the usual communication channels you use for services or inquiries. Movers Brixton will respond in accordance with legal requirements and may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority for data protection if you are concerned about how your personal data is being handled. However, Movers Brixton encourages you to contact the business first so that any concerns can be addressed directly.
