Under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) personal data is defined as:
“any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person”.

Who we are
McMurrays Haulage Ltd (“we”, “us”) is the operator of the website www.mcmurayshaulage.com. We collect, use and are responsible for certain information about you. When we do so, we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws.

How we use your information
We, McMurrays Haulage Limited, will collect and use your personal data for the delivery of transport and logistics services and to fulfil any contractual agreements between us or one of our partners using/providing our services. This information is used to process your orders, manage your account and to correspond with you in relation to your activities with us.

Why does McMurrays need to collect and store personal data?
In order for us to provide you with our transport/logistic services we need to collect personal data for the purpose of correspondence, delivery of services and billing. In any event, we are committed to ensuring that the information we collect and use is appropriate for this purpose and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.

In terms of being contacted for marketing purposes McMurrays Haulage Limited would contact you for additional consent.

Will McMurrays Haulage Limited share my personal data with anyone else?
We may pass your personal data on to third-party service providers contracted to McMurrays Haulage Limited in the course of dealing with you. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely. When we no longer need your data to fulfil this service, they will dispose of the details in line with McMurrays Haulage Limited’s procedures. If we wish to pass your sensitive personal data onto a third party we will only do so once we have obtained your consent, unless we are legally required to do so.

McMurrays Haulage Ltd will process (collect, store and use) the information you provide in a manner compatible with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will endeavour to keep your information accurate and up to date, and not keep it for longer than is necessary. McMurrays Haulage Limited is required to retain information in accordance with the law, such as information needed for income tax and audit purposes. How long certain kinds of personal data should be kept may also be governed by specific business-sector requirements and agreed practices. Personal data may be held in addition to these periods depending on individual business needs.

Under what circumstances will McMurrays Haulage Limited contact me?
Our aim is not to be intrusive, and we undertake not to ask irrelevant or unnecessary questions. Moreover, the information you provide will be subject to rigorous measures and procedures to minimise the risk of unauthorised access or disclosure.

How long will McMurrays Haulage Limited retain my information?
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with McMurrays Haulage Ltd. We may also retain your information for longer if we need it for insurance or legal purposes.
