Introduction

Nortons Hiab Services Limited sellportablecabins.co.uk collects and processes your personal information in accordance with this privacy policy. This policy provides you with information regarding our obligations and your rights in compliance with UK data protection law and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Nortons Hiab Services Limited, registered in England and Wales under company number 06140715 and trading as Sell Portable Cabins, is the data controller for the information described below. Questions about anything on this page can go to info@sellportablecabins.co.uk, or by post to Norton Street, Off Hulme Hall Lane, Manchester, M40 8HD.

Trade Marks

Load handling equipment manufacturers and their logo such as HIAB and the HIAB logo are registered trademarks. Nortons Hiab Services Limited is not associated or affiliated with HIAB or other load handling equipment manufacturers, and expressly disclaims any and all rights to any such marks.

Information That We Collect From You

Information that you provide to us directly might include personal information such as your name, the organisation you are with, your email address, your telephone number, the postcode where a building is standing or where one is going, a description of the building, any photographs you upload, and whatever you write in the message box.

We also record the internet address (IP address) each submission is sent from. The only purpose is to count how many enquiries come from the same place within a short window, so that automated form abuse can be throttled without blocking real customers. That address stays in the database and is deliberately left out of the notification email that reaches our inbox. It is not used to identify you, to advertise to you, or for anything else.

We do not buy contact lists, we do not build profiles, and there is nothing on this site that quietly gathers information about you in the background.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We use your personal data to provide our services to you and process this on the legal basis of 'performance of contract' — the processing is necessary so that we can take the steps you have asked for before any contract exists, and afterwards to carry out the contract we have agreed. For the stored internet address, we rely on our legitimate interest in keeping the site usable and free of automated abuse, having weighed that against the very limited effect on you.

We respect your privacy at all times. Your information will never be disclosed or shared with others without your consent, unless required to do so by law.

Sharing or Disclosing Your Personal Data

Whilst we will never disclose or share your data with others without your consent, we use third party processors to provide our services; these companies will process or store your information on our behalf. We use third parties to process your data for web hosting and email.

Your details are not sold, rented, or handed to anyone for marketing. They are passed on only where a job requires it, such as a subcontractor or specialist involved in a particular lift. We ensure all processors acting on our behalf act in accordance with this privacy notice.

The personal data we hold about you
The categories of personal data concerned
The purposes of the processing
Details of whom your personal data has been or will be disclosed to

To ensure your data is protected, if we receive a request from you to exercise your rights, we will ask you to verify your identity before acting on the request.

International Transfers

Your personal data is processed within the United Kingdom. Where a transfer outside the UK takes place through a supplier we use, we will ensure the same high standard of protection for your personal data at all times.

Security and Safeguarding Measures

All personal data collected is transferred and stored securely, using industry standard encryption protocols, and approved transfer mechanisms such as TLS. Please note however, that we cannot guarantee that the measures we maintain will guarantee the security of the information.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Nortons Hiab Services Limited sellportablecabins.co.uk only retains personal information for as long as is necessary. Enquiries that turn into work are retained for as long as the job and our accounting and legal obligations require. Enquiries that go nowhere are looked over from time to time and removed once there is no longer a reason to keep them. Records used purely for rate limiting are short-lived by design. For further details on our data retention periods please contact us.

Photographs You Send Us

Pictures sent with an enquiry are stored on our server against your enquiry record and are used to assess condition and work out a figure. They stay internal. We will not put them on this website, in advertising, or anywhere else without asking you first and getting your agreement.

Cookies

A 'cookie' is a small text file sent from a website and stored on the user's computer by the user's web browser. Upon visiting a site that uses cookies, a cookie is downloaded onto your computer or mobile device. The next time you visit that site, your device will remember useful information such as preferences, visited pages or logging in options.

Cookies are widely used to add functionality to websites, or to ensure they work more efficiently.

To learn more about what cookies are, or how to control or delete them, then we recommend you visit aboutcookies.org for detailed guidance.

The list below describes the cookies we use on this site and what we use them for.

First Party Cookies

These are cookies that are set by this website directly.

PHPSESSID. Cookie generated by applications based on the PHP language. This is a general purpose identifier used to maintain user session variables, and is normally a randomly generated number. It is a necessary cookie native to PHP applications, and on this site it exists so that a form submission can be tied safely to your browser while you complete it. It disappears when the browser is closed.

CookieScriptConsent. This cookie is used by the Cookie-Script service to remember your cookie consent preferences. It is necessary for the cookie banner to work properly, and it is what stops the banner asking you the same question on every visit. It is stored for 30 days.

Third Party Cookies

These are cookies set on your machine by external websites whose services are used on a site — typically social sharing buttons, embedded video, mapping and analytics. This website sets none of them. There are no advertising cookies, no analytics scripts belonging to other companies, and no third-party trackers embedded in these pages. Both of the cookies described above are set by this site itself, and the consent banner is served from our own server rather than from anyone else's.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, raise it with us first — most problems are quicker to fix directly. Contact details are at the top of this page.

Changes to This Policy

Where our practices change, this page is amended to match. The wording here was last reviewed in September 2026.
