Privacy Policy — BandBack Move

Privacy Policy

BandBack Move · Effective 24 July 2026 · Version 2.0

Plain English Summary: We collect your moving details to build your personalised moving plan. That part is free and always will be. If — and only if — you tick the box asking us to, we’ll pass your details to relevant moving companies so they can contact you about your move. We’re paid a referral fee when we do this. You’ll still get your full moving plan whether you tick it or not. You can withdraw that permission at any time by emailing [email protected].

1. Who we are

BandBack Ltd is the data controller for personal data collected through BandBack Move (bandback.co.uk/move).

2. What data we collect

When you use BandBack Move, we collect the following categories of personal data:

3. How we use your data

Compliance with legal obligationsLegal obligation

4. Who we share your data with, and how we’re paid

4.1 When you click a partner link

Most of the time, you share your own data. You tap a link in your checklist, you land on a partner’s website, and you decide what to tell them. We don’t send them anything — we just record that you clicked, so we know which parts of the checklist are useful. Where we have an affiliate arrangement, the partner pays us a commission if you go on to buy something. This never increases the price you pay.

4.2 When you opt in to partner contact

If you tick the partner contact box during sign-up, we may pass your details directly to relevant companies so they can contact you about your move. We receive a fee from those companies for the introduction. We want to be straightforward about that: this is how BandBack Move stays free to use. We are not a charity and we are not pretending otherwise. But it only ever happens if you have actively ticked the box, and you can change your mind at any time. If you don’t tick the box, your details are never passed to anyone for marketing purposes, and you still get the complete moving plan.

This list reflects our partners as at the date of this policy. It changes from time to time — the current version of this page is always the accurate one.

Important: When we refer you to a regulated firm (FCA, SRA, RICS), they conduct their own onboarding and apply their own privacy policy from that point. BandBack Ltd does not provide regulated financial, legal or surveying advice. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage.

4.4 Other recipients

4.5 What we will not do

5. Referral fees and commercial relationships

BandBack Move is free for users. We are paid in two ways: affiliate commission when you click through and purchase from a partner, and referral fees where you have opted in to partner contact. These commercial arrangements are disclosed throughout the platform. They never increase the price you pay, and you are never under any obligation to use a partner service.

6. Data retention

We retain your personal data for up to 2 years from your move date, or until you request deletion, whichever is sooner. Records of consent — including the wording you agreed to and the timestamp — are retained for as long as we hold your data plus a further 12 months, so that we can demonstrate the basis on which your data was processed. Anonymous analytical data may be retained longer. Magic login tokens expire 24 hours after creation.

7. Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the right to:

Withdrawing partner contact consent: Email [email protected] with the subject line “Stop partner contact” and we will remove your consent within 5 working days. You’ll keep your moving plan and your account. Please note: if your details have already been passed to a partner before you withdraw, that partner holds its own copy under its own privacy policy. We will tell you which partners received your details so you can contact them directly.

To exercise any other right, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
