Last updated: 1 October 2026
Who we are
This privacy policy explains how Murphy Transport Services (Scotland) Ltd, a limited company registered in Scotland (company number SC725281) with registered office at 3 Weavers Lane, Whitburn, West Lothian, EH47 0SD ("we", "us") collects and uses personal data when you visit https://murphytransport.co.uk or contact us. We are the data controller for that personal data.

The personal data we collect
We collect:
- Enquiries and quote requests: your name, email address, phone number and the message you send, and for a quote, the details of the work you describe.
- Technical data: the IP address, browser type and pages visited that our hosting provider records in routine server logs.
- Cookies: see our cookie policy for exactly what is set and when.
How and why we use personal data
UK data-protection law requires a lawful basis for every use:
| What we use it for | What data | Lawful basis (UK GDPR Article 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Answering your enquiry or quote request | Identity, contact and message data | Taking steps at your request before a contract, and our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us |
| Understanding how the site is used | Usage and technical data | Your consent, given through the cookie banner |
| Keeping the site and our records secure | Technical and correspondence data | Our legitimate interest in running the business safely |
| Meeting legal obligations (tax, accounting, disputes) | Order, invoice and correspondence records | Legal obligation |
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used. It runs only after you consent through the cookie banner, and you can withdraw that consent at any time. See our cookie policy.
Form security
Our forms use Turnstile, from Cloudflare, Inc., to check that a form is sent by a person. When you use a form, it reads your IP address and signals from your browser and device. We use it to stop automated abuse of our forms. That is part of keeping the site secure, so its lawful basis is our legitimate interest in running the business safely.
Turnstile relies on the security exemption in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR Schedule A1 paragraph 4(2)), so it needs no cookie consent.
Cloudflare acts for us when it secures the form. It also acts for itself, as a controller, when it uses what it reads to improve its bot detection; its Turnstile privacy notice, at www.cloudflare.com/turnstile-privacy-policy, covers that use.
Transfers outside the UK
Some of our providers process data outside the UK. When that happens we make sure a lawful safeguard is in place: a UK adequacy decision covering the destination, or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep personal data
We keep personal data only as long as we need it:
- Enquiry correspondence: kept while we deal with your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted.
- Records we must keep for tax and accounting: generally six years, as the law requires.
- Everything else: only as long as needed for the purpose we collected it for, then deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
Under UK data-protection law you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you
- have inaccurate data corrected
- have your data erased in many circumstances
- restrict or object to how we use it (including objecting to direct marketing, which we always honour)
- receive the data you gave us in a portable format
- withdraw any consent you have given, at any time
To exercise any of these, email [email protected]. We will respond within one month and will not charge a fee unless the law allows one. We may need to confirm your identity first.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal data, please complain to us first at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and deal with it without undue delay, as UK law requires. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, helpline 0303 123 1113.
Automated decision-making
We do not make any decision about you based solely on automated processing that would have a legal or similarly significant effect on you.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time; the date at the top shows when it last changed. Significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
