We use your information to prepare quotes, book and schedule your move, talk to you about your job, invoice you, and meet our legal obligations. We don’t use it for anything unrelated to these purposes.
4. Legal basis and consent
We process your information with your consent, which you give when you send us an enquiry. We also process it where we need it to carry out the contract you asked for, or where the law requires it. You can withdraw your consent at any time, but we may then be unable to quote or complete your move.

6. How long we keep it
We keep your information only for as long as we need it for the purposes above, or for as long as tax and accounting law requires. After that, we delete it or remove anything that identifies you.
