Lawful Bases For Processing Your Data
We will only use your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so under data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, we rely on the following lawful bases:

Legal obligation: We may process your information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, such as record keeping, accounting, tax requirements, waste transfer documentation and responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
Legitimate interests: We may process your information where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This includes managing and improving our services, handling queries and complaints, protecting our business from fraud or misuse, and keeping records of our interactions with you.
Consent: In some cases we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of marketing. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.

To communicate with you, including responding to enquiries, sending booking confirmations and reminders, and updating you about changes or issues affecting your service.
To manage customer relationships, including recording your preferences, handling complaints, and monitoring the quality of our services.
To operate and improve our business, including analysing service usage, training staff, monitoring performance, and maintaining appropriate records.

Data Retention
We will keep your personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.

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

These may include payment processing providers, IT and hosting providers, email and communications platforms, customer relationship management systems, waste transfer partners and professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers.
These processors act on our instructions and are required to keep your data secure and confidential. We take steps to ensure that appropriate data processing agreements and safeguards are in place.
We may also share personal data with public authorities, regulators, law enforcement agencies or insurers where required by law or where it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect our rights, customers or staff.

Where our service providers are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, or where data is processed or accessed from outside these regions, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data, in accordance with data protection law. This may include using standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms approved by relevant authorities.
Security Of Your Data
We take 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 and ongoing review of our security practices.
