Purposes And Lawful Basis For Processing
Removals Denmark processes personal data only when there is a lawful basis to do so under the General Data Protection Regulation. The main purposes and lawful bases are:
To provide our services. We process your personal data to prepare quotations, plan and carry out removals, manage storage, and provide customer support. This processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
To manage customer relationships. We process your data to respond to inquiries, handle complaints, send service-related notifications, and maintain our internal records. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in operating and improving our services and maintaining high standards of customer service.
To comply with legal obligations. We may process personal data to comply with tax, accounting, and other regulatory requirements, or to respond to lawful requests from public authorities. This processing is based on the need to comply with a legal obligation.
To improve and secure our services. We may use technical and usage data to maintain and improve our website, internal systems, and service planning, and to ensure the security of our operations. This is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the efficient and secure operation of our business.
Marketing communications. Where permitted by law and where you have not opted out, we may use your contact details to send information about similar services from Removals Denmark. In some cases this is based on legitimate interest, and in other cases on your consent. You can object to or withdraw consent for marketing at any time.
Data Retention
Removals Denmark will not retain personal data for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the applicable legal requirements:
Customer and contract records are generally retained for the duration of the contractual relationship and for a reasonable period afterward in order to handle any queries, disputes, or legal claims, and to comply with statutory retention obligations.
Accounting and tax-related information is retained for the period required under applicable financial and tax legislation.
Communications and inquiries from prospective customers who do not enter into a contract with us are retained for a limited period necessary to manage the inquiry and follow-up, after which the data is securely deleted or anonymised.
Technical and usage data is retained for a period necessary to analyse and improve our services and to maintain security, after which it is deleted or anonymised where possible.
Once the relevant retention period has expired, or where data is no longer needed, Removals Denmark will securely delete or anonymise the personal data.
Use Of Data Processors And Third Parties
Removals Denmark may engage carefully selected third parties to process personal data on our behalf. These data processors act only under our instructions and are contractually required to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data.
Examples of such processors include providers of information technology and hosting services, customer relationship management systems, secure payment processors, and other service providers that support our operational and administrative functions.
In addition, personal data may be shared with independent third parties where required:
Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, when necessary for legitimate business purposes or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Public authorities or law enforcement agencies, where required by law or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, the rights of our customers, or the safety of individuals.
Where we use data processors or share data with third parties, we ensure that appropriate data protection and confidentiality obligations are in place in accordance with applicable law.
International Data Transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area by or on behalf of Removals Denmark, such transfers will only take place where appropriate safeguards are in place. These may include the use of standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms recognised under data protection law to ensure that your data continues to be protected.
Data Security
Removals Denmark takes the security of personal data seriously and implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures include controlled access to systems, secure storage of records, and staff awareness of data protection responsibilities.
While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We continue to review and enhance our security measures in line with technological developments and industry standards.
Your Rights Under Data Protection Law
As a data subject within the scope of this Privacy Policy, you have several rights in relation to your personal data, subject to certain conditions and legal limitations:
Right of access. You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, to obtain a copy of that data and related information.
Right to rectification. You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal data and the completion of incomplete data.
Right to erasure. In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or where you withdraw consent and no other legal basis applies.
Right to restriction of processing. You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data where you contest its accuracy, where the processing is unlawful, or where we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims.
Right to data portability. Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, you may request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object. You have the right to object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling related to such interests, and to object to processing for direct marketing purposes.
Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that your personal data has been processed in violation of applicable data protection law.
