Who do Parcel Royale Share your personal data with?

To elaborate further on who we share your personal data with, Parcel Royale Ltd discloses the information to the following entities:

Our employees and Independent Courier Riders who are acting on our behalf may access your personal data to provide you with products and services. Similarly, if you contact us with an enquiry or complaint, our customer service team members will have access to your personal data.

When providing our services to our customers, we may share your personal data with them. For example, if a customer has arranged for delivery to your address, we will share updates and confirmation of delivery with the customer. This confirmation may include details of where the item was delivered, the signature of the recipient and an image of where the item was delivered.

If you request for a pickup or delivery through an online shopping platform with whom we partner, or if we are delivering items that you have purchased from them, we may share your personal data with them to provide updates on the location of your item and proof of delivery.

We may share your personal data if we are legally required to do so by law or regulations.

Fraud Prevention and Security

Fraud prevention and security are important aspects of Parcel Royale's service. To prevent fraud and money laundering, we may share some of the personal data we have about you with fraud-prevention agencies. These agencies will use your data to verify your identity, prevent fraudulent activities and maintain security. By sharing your data with such agencies, we can ensure that our services are being used by legitimate individuals and not misused by fraudulent ones.

It's important to note that if fraud is detected, you may be refused certain services, finance, or employment. This is a security measure to protect our legitimate customers and to ensure that our services are being used correctly. Therefore, it is imperative that you provide honest and accurate information when using our services. Additionally, we take appropriate security measures to protect the personal data that we hold about you, in line with relevant laws, regulations, and industry guidelines.

Sharing your Personal Data Abroad

Sharing your personal data overseas is a possibility, particularly if we use a service provider or technology provider based outside of the UK. In such cases, we may need to share your data with them to provide the product or service you requested or to process your payment details. Additionally, we may have to engage with support services that are based overseas.

However, it's worth noting that we will ensure that your personal data is protected by law or by a contract that is in compliance with UK laws. This is essential to maintain the protection of your personal data when it's being processed, handled, or transferred outside of the UK. We have measures in place to ensure that we comply with the latest data protection laws and that your personal data is being handled securely while adhering to industry best practice guidelines.

The Duration your Personal Data is kept by us

Parcel Royale only retains your personal data for as long as it's needed to fulfil the product or service provided to you. This means that the length of time we keep your data may vary depending on the nature of the service or product being offered.

However, it is imperative to note that there might be legal requirements that mandate us to keep your data for a specific period. Therefore, the retention period may have to be extended so that we comply with these legal requirements.

Despite this, we are committed to ensuring that your personal data is only kept for as long as it's necessary. Once it's no longer required, we will delete your data securely to protect you against unauthorised access or use. We take appropriate measures to ensure that we comply with all applicable data protection laws and guidelines while providing a high-quality service to our customers.
