Information Sharing and Service Providers
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only where reasonably necessary with authorised Alpha Movers staff, moving crews, drivers, subcontractors, insurers, professional advisers, hosting providers, communications providers, and other service providers involved in delivering or supporting our services.
Our website may connect you to third-party services such as Google Forms, WhatsApp, email, Facebook, and hosting services. Those providers process information under their own privacy policies. We take reasonable steps to work with providers that protect personal information appropriately.
We may also disclose information when required by law, a court order, an insurer, or a lawful request from a competent authority.
Cookies and Technical Data
Our website may use essential technical features and hosting logs required for security, performance, and reliable operation. If analytics, advertising, or additional tracking technologies are introduced, this policy and any required consent controls will be updated. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
Data Security
Alpha Movers uses reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, provide moving services, maintain required business records, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable law. Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymised where reasonably practicable.
Your Rights Under POPIA
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal information, ask us to correct or delete inaccurate or unnecessary information, object to certain processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or lodge a complaint with South Africa's Information Regulator.
