  1. How We Use Cookies

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system.

Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

  1. If You Fail To Provide Personal Data

We may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter with you if you are unable to provide personal data that is either required by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you. For example, if you are looking to receive a transportation quote from us by filling in our online form, we require your email address and telephone number in order for us to contact with you with the quote.

  1. How We Use Personal Data

We only use your data for when the law requires us to and to provide you with the services and products you request, in particular for the following reasons:

  • To fulfil a contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you
  • Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests
  • Where we need to comply with a legal and regulatory obligation
  • Processing payment

In line with the GDPR (2018), we will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for and the activities previously set out in this Privacy Policy.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into consideration the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete the data. Please contact us if you wish for data to be deleted before the legal retention period.

We may also anonymise your personal data so it can no longer be associated with you for research, statistical or business purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

  1. Your Legal Rights

  • To correct, erase or restrict the processing of your personal information
  • Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

  • To object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing)
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent
