    • Google Remarketing – Our website uses a remarketing advertising service. Our remarketing service is provided by Google and other companies that show our ads on websites across the Internet. With remarketing you may see ads for our products you have previously looked at. As an example, suppose you visit a website that sells computers, but you do not buy a computer on your first visit to that website. The website’s owner might like to encourage you to revisit his/her website and buy a computer by showing you his/her ads again on other websites that you visit. We use remarketing for similar purposes. For this to happen, Google will read a cookie that is already in your browser, or they place a cookie in your browser when you visit our website or other websites using remarketing.

  1. Processing with your Consent

We will only use your personal data for the purposes listed above and for the purpose of which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. If we need to use your data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. When you are introduced to us by our business partners, those partners should ask you (verbally or in writing) for your consent to share your personal details with Movinghub, or their white-label name of the service that is powered by Movinghub, and provide information on how they will be used. If you were introduced through a Movinghub partner(eg. estate agents) we may share your information with the organisation that referred you to help them analyse their referral volumes and view your customer journey, such as the contact you have received from Movinghub, and allow them to communicate with you about other move-related services.

MARKETING AND PROMOTIONS

We rely on your consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data in relation to marketing communications via phone, email and SMS. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, by using the unsubscribe feature on email communications, or calling the phone number on our website. You can also email support@movinghub.com. You may receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased services from us, or if you provided your details when you entered a competition or promotion and have not opted out of receiving that marketing. Your personal information will not be passed to any third-party organisation for marketing purposes, without your express opt-in consent.

  1. Transfers of your Personal Data to other parties

We may need to share your personal data with third parties for the purposes of the processing set out above (section 4). External third parties include service providers necessary for the fulfilment of contracts you selected for your property, such as:

– Electricity and Gas providers

– Councils and Waterboards

– Telecommunications providers

– Insurance providers

Note, if Movinghub shares your personal data with a service provider necessary for the fulfilment of the contract, the service provider’s privacy notice may differ to ours. We encourage you to read the privacy notice of any service provider that you place an order with through Movinghub.

  1. Data Security

Movinghub has put in place a number of industry-standard security measures to make sure your data is safe from loss, misuse, or alteration. Our security systems are regularly reviewed and continually upgraded to keep your data safe. Movinghub has taken every possible measure to give absolute security to our customers in their dealings with us:

  • When we ask you to enter your personal information, that information is encrypted and protected with the best encryption software in the industry – SSL.
  • While on a secure page, such as our application form, the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when you are just searching. You will know when transmitted data is safe by the appearance of a security notice when you enter a secure page. Secure web pages can also be identified by their URL, they begin with

‘https://’, while standard pages begin with ‘http://’.

  • Your personal information is stored in our database, which is located in the UK. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instruction and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do So.
  1. Data Storage

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for. By law, we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers, for tax purposes. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be used to identify you, such as for statistical purposes and system improvements – in which case we may use this information indefinitely. In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data from our systems, see below (section 8) on your legal rights.

  1. Your Legal Rights

Under current data protection legislation you have legal rights in relation to your personal data. These are outlined below:

  • Right to be informed – about the collection and use of your personal data, the purpose of processing, security and retention periods of your data.
  • Right to request access to your personal data (also known as “data subject access request”) – enables you to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and confirm it is being processed.
  • Right to erasure – enables you to ask us to delete or remove your personal data when there is no longer a good reason for us to retain it
  • Right to restrict processing of your data – enables you to request the restriction or suspension of processing your personal data. You must have a reason for requesting the restriction, such as:
    • if you believe the data is inaccurate
    • if the data has been unlawfully processed but you do not want us to erase it
    • you need us to retain the data, not erase it, in order to establish or defend a legal claim
    • you have objected to our use of your data and a decision is being made as to whether the objection will be upheld
  • Right to data portability – enables you or a third party you have chosen, to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

  • Object to processing – enables you to object to the processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest, and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground, as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
