Lawful Bases For Processing Your Data

We only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the context, we rely on the following lawful bases under data protection law:

Contract: we process your personal data to enter into and perform a contract with you, for example to provide rubbish removal services, manage bookings, communicate with you about your service, issue invoices and collect payment.

Legal obligation: we may process your data to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as record keeping, tax and accounting requirements and obligations relating to health, safety and environmental regulations.

Legitimate interests: we process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This may include managing our business operations, improving services, responding to enquiries, preventing fraud, ensuring the security of our systems and establishing or defending legal claims.

Consent: in some limited circumstances 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 by contacting us using our published contact details or by using any unsubscribe options provided.

Sharing Your Personal Data With Processors And Third Parties

We may share your personal data with carefully selected third parties that act as data processors on our behalf. These processors may include:

Payment service providers who process your payments securely.

IT and hosting providers who support our website, email and other systems.

Customer management and communication platforms used to schedule jobs, send confirmations and manage customer interactions.

Professional advisers such as accountants, insurers and legal professionals where required for business or legal reasons.

We may also share your personal data with other third parties where required by law, in connection with legal proceedings, to protect our rights, property or safety, or in the context of a business sale or restructuring, provided that any recipient is required to keep the information confidential and use it only as permitted by law.

International Transfers

In some cases, our service providers may be located or may store data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as using standard data protection clauses approved by relevant authorities or relying on equivalent data protection frameworks, so that your personal data remains protected to a standard substantially equivalent to that required under the UK GDPR.

Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it and to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

In general, we retain customer and booking records for a period that allows us to handle queries, disputes and tax or regulatory requirements. Communication records may be kept for similar periods in order to demonstrate how we handled requests and services.

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.

Security Of Your Personal Data

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, encryption where appropriate, staff training and regular review of our security procedures.

While we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information, no system can be completely secure. You should also take care when providing your personal data, especially when using public networks or shared devices.

Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These include:

Right of access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.

Right to data portability: in some cases, you can request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format so that you can transfer it to another organisation.

Right to object: where we process your personal data based on our legitimate interests, you can object to this processing if you believe it impacts your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.

Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the details provided on our website or service documentation. We may need to confirm your identity before fulfilling your request, and we will respond within the time limits set by law.
