Personal data we collect about you

When using the term “personal data” in our Privacy Notice, we mean information that relates to you, either directly or in combination with other information that we may hold. The information we collect is from you as information voluntarily provided to us.

  • Information necessary for legal compliance;

Sharing your personal data

Portable Toilets Limited does not share your data with any other commercial organisation or public body, unless we have to do so either for legal or compliance reasons, or where it is more cost effective and efficient to use a third party to deliver a product or service on our behalf. We may need to pass on personal information if required by law or by a regulatory body. We sometimes employ third party providers to carry out tasks on our behalf. This can be due to operational or logistical reasons. The company operates a need to know basis in connection with sensitive personal data and does not disclose this data unless required by law so to do.

How and why we use your personal data?

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • to respond to, and deal with, a booking request or enquiry;
  • to process and administer booking requests, hire requests or other orders of our products and services;
  • for internal record keeping;
  • to contact you by e-mail or phone to facilitate the above;
  • to evaluate any job applications submitted to us and for the administration of the recruitment process;
  • for the performance of any contract the company may have entered into;
  • for compliance with legal, regulatory and other good governance obligations.

Legal basis for processing your personal data

The General Data Protection Regulation requires organisations to consider the legal basis on which they process personal data.

Portable Toilets Limited will process data in line with the following principles:

  • Where it is necessary to fulfil a contract with you for example, the provision of a hire service.
  • When it is in our legitimate interests to do so.
  • Where we have previously supplied you with goods or services, we may from time to time, telephone you or send you email communications containing marketing material highlighting goods and services which may be of interest to you.
  • If you do not wish to receive such material you will have the option to unsubscribe from further such communications.

How long do we keep personal data?

We will keep your personal data only for as long as we consider it necessary to carry out each processing activity. We maintain data retention criteria to help us implement this. This takes account of our legal and accounting obligations, balancing this with what would be reasonable. We are required to keep details of financial transactions for seven years to meet accountancy and HMRC requirements. We will anonymise or delete personal data after a period of seven years.
