Your privacy is important to us at DBS Packers And Movers, and protecting your privacy remains our top priority. This Privacy Statement explains in detail how we guarantee the protection of your privacy. We respect the online privacy of our clients. We hold client information in strict confidence.

Requesting Your Information

We will occasionally request personal information such as a client’s name, address, email address, occupation, and hobbies. Simply providing us with your information will allow us to offer you products and services that we believe you will be interested in. When you choose to provide us with personal information via the Internet, which we or our business partners may request, we will inform you of how this information will be used. When we request your personal information for any reason, we will provide a link to this policy so that you are aware of our intentions.

Privacy of Personal Information

We will take every precaution to protect the privacy of your personal information. These steps include limiting access to databases containing client information, communicating this policy statement to company employees, and establishing and enforcing penalties for violations of this statement. The company will not sell, rent, or give its customers’ personal information to other businesses so that they can use it to market their own goods and services. When we contract with other companies to market or advertise our products or services, we will insist that they protect sensitive client information with legally binding agreements. We will vigorously enforce all privacy agreements with other organisations. We collect personal information from our clients in order to strengthen our relationships with them.

On occasion, we solicit client feedback on our products and services. These comments enable us to determine which products and services our clients should be made aware of based on their individual requirements. We will only communicate with clients via e-mail or other online delivery methods if they have consented to receive such messages. If clients believe they are receiving our communications in error or no longer wish to receive them, they should notify us and their names will be removed from our mailing lists. Our organisation will use email and paper mail to communicate with clients sparingly. If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy, please contact us.
