Who We Are
Rubbish Removal Notting Hill is a rubbish removal service provider operating in the Notting Hill area and surrounding neighbourhoods. For the purposes of data protection law, we are the data controller of the personal data that we collect and process about you in connection with the provision of our services.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal data, you can contact us using the details provided on our main contact channels.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different categories of personal data depending on how you interact with us and which services you use. The types of personal data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details such as full name, address, email address, telephone number, and any alternative contact details you provide.
Service and booking information such as details of the property where rubbish is to be collected, access instructions, preferred dates and times, description of the items to be removed, and photographs you may provide for quotation purposes.
Contract and billing information such as records of quotes provided, invoices issued, payment status, bank transfer references, and limited card transaction details processed securely via our payment providers. We do not store full card numbers or security codes.
Communication records such as emails, messages, and phone call notes relating to enquiries, bookings, complaints, feedback and other communications you have with us.
Technical and usage information such as basic technical data transmitted when you access our online services, including IP address, device type, browser type, and pages accessed. This information is used for security, service improvement and analytics.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us to request a quote, make a booking, ask a question, provide feedback, or otherwise communicate with us. This may be by telephone, email, through online forms or via other communication channels.
We may also receive some personal data indirectly through third party service providers involved in the operation of our website, payment processing or communication platforms. These providers act in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection laws.
Purposes and Lawful Bases for Processing
We only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. The purposes and corresponding lawful bases include:
To provide quotations, take bookings, and deliver our rubbish removal services. We process your contact and service information because it is necessary to enter into and perform a contract with you.
To manage payments, invoicing and account administration. We process billing and transaction data as part of performing our contract with you and to comply with our legal obligations relating to tax and financial reporting.
To respond to enquiries, requests and complaints. We process communication data as it is necessary for our legitimate interest in providing customer service and maintaining our business relationships with customers in the Notting Hill area.
To maintain safety and security, including confirming service addresses and access instructions where required. This processing is necessary for our legitimate interest in operating a safe and efficient service.
To send you important service updates, policy changes or notifications that may affect your bookings. This processing is necessary to perform our contract with you and to meet legal obligations.
To improve and develop our services, including analysing trends in customer requests and service usage. We rely on our legitimate interest in developing and improving our services, while using only the minimum data necessary and, where possible, using aggregated or anonymised information.
If we wish to use your data for marketing communications beyond what is permitted under our legitimate interests, we will seek your explicit consent and you can withdraw this consent at any time.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, and to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.
Customer records and contract-related information are generally retained for up to seven years from the end of our service relationship, to comply with legal and tax obligations and to handle any potential disputes.
Communication records that are not directly related to contracts or legal requirements may be retained for a shorter period, typically up to three years, unless we need to keep them for longer in the event of a dispute or ongoing enquiry.
Where we no longer need your personal data, we will securely delete it or irreversibly anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your personal data with trusted third parties who act as data processors on our behalf to support the delivery of our services, such as:
Payment processing providers who handle card or online payments securely.
IT and website service providers who host our systems, provide technical support, or help us manage communications and security.
Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers, where this is necessary for our legitimate business purposes and legal obligations.
These processors may only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and are required to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data.
We may also share personal data with law enforcement agencies, regulators or other authorities if required by law or where necessary to protect our rights, property or the safety of our staff, customers or the public.
International Transfers
Where any of our service providers are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, such as using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities or ensuring that the country offers an adequate level of data protection.
How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures include access controls, secure storage, encryption where appropriate, staff training and regular review of our data protection practices.

Right to restriction of processing You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as while we are verifying its accuracy or where you have objected to our processing.
Right to object You can object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds or the processing is required for legal claims.
Right to data portability Where our processing is based on your consent or on a contract and carried out by automated means, you can request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or transfer it to another controller where technically feasible.
