3. Why we use your data, and our lawful basis

- Payment processing: contract
- Website and app analytics: legitimate interests, or consent for non-essential cookies
4. Our legitimate interests
Where we rely on legitimate interests we have carried out a balancing assessment in line with ICO guidance. Those interests are: ensuring passenger and driver safety, preventing fraud such as fake bookings and chargebacks, investigating complaints and resolving disputes, optimising dispatch operations, and protecting company assets.
We considered less intrusive alternatives, including manual logs and operating without CCTV, and concluded these were insufficient for safety and dispute resolution. Safeguards include clear signage where CCTV is fitted, restricted access to footage, short retention periods, encryption and access logging. This assessment is reviewed annually or after major operational changes.
5. Who we share your data with
- Dispatch software providers
- Payment processors
- Local authority licensing teams
- The police, where legally required
- Insurers, in relation to incidents only
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
6. How long we keep it
- Journey records: 12 to 24 months
- CCTV footage: 14 to 31 days, unless required for an incident
- Financial records: 6 years, as a legal obligation
- Website analytics data: 12 to 24 months
7. How we protect it
We use an encrypted dispatch system, role-based access controls and secure mobile devices. Access to CCTV footage is restricted and logged.
8. Your rights
You have the right to access your personal data, to have inaccurate data corrected, and to request erasure, restriction of processing, or to object to processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact office@seaskyluxurytransfers.com.

9. Driver and staff data
For drivers and staff we process name, address and contact details, driving licence and right-to-work documents, GPS location during shifts, CCTV footage where fitted, incident and complaint records, and payment and tax information.
Our lawful bases are contract for driver engagement, legal obligation for licensing and HMRC requirements, and legitimate interests for safety monitoring, fraud prevention and complaint investigation. Driver records are retained for 6 years after the contract ends; GPS logs for 3 to 12 months.
10. CCTV in vehicles
Where CCTV is fitted, signage is displayed in the vehicle. Images are recorded by Sea & Sky Luxury Transfers Ltd. under UK GDPR legitimate interests, for the safety of passengers and drivers. For enquiries about footage, contact office@seaskyluxurytransfers.com.
