Who is responsible for your information
BLACK FLEET DEV LTD, company number 14945869, registered at 16b Ripple Road Commercial Estate, Barking, Essex, United Kingdom, IG11 0RJ, is the controller for personal information handled through this company website. Contact partners@blackfleetdev.com, or write to our registered office, for privacy enquiries and requests.
Information we use
When you contact us, we use the name, email address, business information and message you provide. City Partnership applications also include your selected country and city, experience, company registration details where provided, decision-making role, fleet or chauffeur counts, licensing status, launch plans, budget readiness, availability, motivation and answers to practical business scenarios. Our team uses these answers to prepare discussions and assess operational readiness and the potential working relationship. We do not use this questionnaire to diagnose personality or mental health. Required fields let us assess and respond to your enquiry; without them we may be unable to do so. Please do not submit passenger records, identity documents, payment-card details or sensitive personal information through these forms.
Our hosting service processes technical information such as IP addresses, request times, requested pages and browser information to deliver and protect the website. The enquiry service uses a protected representation of the connection address to limit repeated submissions.
Purposes and lawful bases
We use enquiry information to respond, discuss your requirements and assess a potential business relationship. For business contacts, we rely on our legitimate interests in communicating with prospective customers and partners. Where you request steps towards a contract with you personally, we rely on taking those pre-contract steps.
We use technical information for our legitimate interests in maintaining website security, preventing abuse and investigating faults. We may also retain or disclose information where necessary to meet a legal obligation. An enquiry does not subscribe you to a marketing mailing list. We do not use these enquiries for solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.
Who receives information
Information is available to authorised people handling enquiries for Black Fleet Dev and the service providers needed to host the website and deliver email. Hostinger provides our hosting infrastructure. Professional advisers or authorities may receive relevant information where necessary for advice, legal obligations or legal claims. We do not sell enquiry information or automatically distribute it to City Partners.
Translation of applications
We use DeepL to translate written business answers into English for review by our team. The original answers are retained alongside the translation. Only the narrative answers requiring translation are sent to DeepL; contact fields are not sent separately. Do not include sensitive personal information or confidential customer details in your answers.
Where information is processed
The website hosting is configured in France, with hosting backups in Lithuania. Provider support and subprocessors may involve processing in other countries. Hostinger describes its processing arrangements and applicable transfer safeguards, including contractual safeguards for UK and EU data, in its Data Processing Addendum. You can contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your enquiry.
How long we retain information
We assess retention according to whether an enquiry remains active, whether follow-up has been agreed, whether it leads to a contract, and whether records are needed for a legal obligation or an actual or reasonably anticipated claim. We review closed enquiries and remove information that is no longer needed for those purposes. Security information is retained according to the period needed to prevent abuse or investigate a specific incident. You can ask us about the retention applicable to your information.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you can request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal information. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. If processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. We may need to confirm your identity when responding to a request. Contact us using the details above.
You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, or to the supervisory authority available to you under applicable law.
