About us
Security Self Storage Limited (‘SSSL’) takes your privacy very seriously. This Data Privacy Statement describes how SSSL collects and uses your personal data and sets forth your privacy rights.
We recognise that information privacy is an ongoing responsibility, and so we will from time to time update this Data Privacy Statement as we undertake new information security practices or use new technology to collect personal data, where it is appropriate.
What we need to know about you and how we use that information
All our services require your personal data. Exactly what personal data we require varies on the service. However, most of our services require certain personal data. This typically includes:
- The full name of the customer; and
- An email address and/or phone number for the customer.
Other personal information we may collect includes:
- Financial information (e.g. payment card information).
For private jobs, payment card information is provided directly by customers, either in person or via phone call, and entered into a PCI/DSS-compliant payment processing service. SSSL does not, itself, process or store payment card information. We use an online virtual payment terminal where transactions take place with our payment provider.
- Data collected by our website (e.g. web form enquiries).
We collect personal data submitted to us using our web enquiry form. Our website also collects certain information automatically and stores it in log files, for example internet protocol (IP) addresses. We use this information to help us design our site to better suit our users’ needs.
Our website is maintained by Futurenet Publishing. They only handle personal data collected from SSSL’s website at our instruction and this is only ever for statistical analysis purposes to inform our marketing team.
Our website uses Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use and navigate the site.
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie can’t read data off your hard drive or read cookie files created by other websites. Cookies do not damage your system; they allow us to respond to you as an individual.
A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than personal data you choose to share with us.

Securing your personal information
All our employees and third parties who require access must use multi-factor authentication to gain access to our servers. Employees are granted different privileges to ensure access to personal data is limited to a need-to-know basis.
We will store your personal data for the duration of the service. We retain personal data longer, only when we are legally obliged to do so. When it is no longer necessary for to retain your personal data, we securely erase and shred hardcopies.
