Privacy & Cookie Policy
This policy explains how ALogistics collects, uses and protects your personal information when you contact us or use our website. We only collect what we need to quote and carry out your move or delivery, and we never sell your details.
1.Who we are
ALogistics provides home and business removals, collections and deliveries across Surrey, London and beyond.
For the purposes of UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), ALogistics is the "data controller" responsible for your personal information. You can reach us using the details in section 9.
2.The information we collect
We collect personal information in the following ways:
- When you contact us by phone, WhatsApp or our website enquiry button — the details you choose to share, typically your name, contact number, collection/delivery addresses and a description of what you need moved.
- Automatically — like most websites, our hosting provider logs limited technical data (such as your IP address and browser type) to keep the site secure and working.
3.How we use your information
We use the information you give us to:
- respond to your enquiry and answer your questions;
- prepare and provide quotes or estimates for the work you ask about;
- arrange, carry out and follow up on work you book with us;
- keep our own records and meet our legal and tax obligations.
Our lawful bases for this are our legitimate interests (to deal with enquiries and run our business), taking steps at your request before entering a contract, and, where it applies, your consent or compliance with a legal obligation.
4.Who we share it with
We use a small number of trusted providers to run our website and handle enquiries:
- Vercel — hosts our website and may process limited technical/server-log data.
- WhatsApp / Meta — if you message us on WhatsApp, your message is handled under their terms.
- Google Fonts — serves the fonts used on the site.
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we only share it where it is necessary to deal with your enquiry, to run our website, or where the law requires it.
5.International transfers
Some of the service providers above (for example our website host and the providers that deliver web fonts or messaging) may process data on servers outside the UK. Where that happens, your information is protected by appropriate safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or equivalent contractual protections.
6.How long we keep it
We keep enquiry details only for as long as we need them — to respond to you, to provide a quote, and to keep reasonable records of work and customers. Enquiries that do not lead to work are normally deleted within around 24 months. Records relating to completed work may be kept longer where we are required to do so for tax, insurance or legal reasons.
7.Cookies & how the site works
This website does not use advertising or analytics tracking cookies. We only use the storage that is strictly necessary for the site to work.
Our web fonts are served by Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address in order to deliver the fonts to your browser. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; doing so will not stop you using this website.
8.Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
- ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete;
- ask us to delete your information, or to restrict or object to how we use it;
- ask us to transfer your information to another provider, where that applies;
- withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, just contact us (section 9). You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK regulator, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113 — though we'd appreciate the chance to put things right first.

10.Changes to this policy
