Depending on the circumstances, we process personal data on one or more of the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, such as responding to a storage enquiry or preparing a rental arrangement;
  • Performance of a contract, where you become a customer;
  • Compliance with a legal obligation, where processing is required by law;

5. How long we keep your information

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Enquiry information may be retained for a reasonable period after the enquiry has been dealt with so that we can manage follow-up communication and our business records.
