05Our lawful bases for using your information
Depending on the circumstances, we process your personal data because:
Contract
Processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to fulfil a confirmed booking.
For example, we need your pickup location, destination and contact details to assess and provide your requested journey.
Legal obligation
We may need to retain or process certain information to comply with legal, licensing, accounting, tax or regulatory requirements.
Legitimate interests
We may process information where this is reasonably necessary for the operation and protection of our business, including customer service, record keeping, preventing misuse and improving our services.
We will only rely on legitimate interests where those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
Consent
Where consent is specifically required, for example for certain types of marketing communication or optional cookies, we will ask for it separately.
You may withdraw consent at any time.
06Journey and booking records
We maintain records of journey requests and confirmed bookings.
These records may include:
- customer details
- journey details
- booking reference
- booking status
- fare
- payment status
- relevant correspondence
- notes required for the management of the journey
These records may be retained where reasonably necessary for licensing, legal, insurance, tax, accounting or dispute-resolution purposes.
08Payment information
Where payments are made through a third-party payment provider, we may not directly receive or store your full card details.
Payment information will be handled in accordance with the relevant payment provider's own privacy and security procedures.
09How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, tax, licensing, accounting, insurance and regulatory requirements.
Different information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Booking and financial records may be retained for several years where required for legitimate business or legal purposes.
Enquiries that do not result in a booking may generally be deleted sooner unless there is a legitimate reason to retain them.
10Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:
- unauthorised access
- loss
- misuse
- disclosure
- alteration
- destruction
No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we take appropriate steps to minimise risk.
12Links to other websites
Our website may occasionally contain links to external websites or services.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. You should review their privacy information separately.
13Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law gives you rights including the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you
- ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- request deletion of your information in certain circumstances
- request restriction of processing
- object to certain processing
- request transfer of information in certain circumstances
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and our legal obligations.
To exercise any of these rights, contact info@chffr.com.
14Complaints
If you have concerns about the way we handle your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.
You also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
