Last Updated: August 3, 2026
Legal Disclaimer: This Privacy Policy has been carefully reviewed, verified, and approved by qualified legal counsel practicing under Pakistani jurisdiction in Karachi. It is fully compliant with applicable national regulations, cross-border data transfer protocols, and recognized international data privacy standards to govern our domestic and international moving operations.
1. Introduction
At Ishfaq Movers and Packers, we understand that trust is at the heart of every move. Whether you are moving your home or relocating your business locally within Karachi, across Pakistan, or internationally across borders, you are inviting us into an important and often stressful part of your life—and we take that responsibility seriously.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your personal data. It applies to all customers, website visitors, and individuals who contact us via phone, WhatsApp, email, or in person for a quotation, booking, or general inquiry.
By using our website ([https://ishfaqmovers.com](https://ishfaqmovers.com)) or engaging our domestic or international moving services, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.

-
Identity & Customs Verification: Government-issued identification (such as a CNIC for domestic moves, or Passport copies, visa copies, and detailed inventory valuation sheets for international freight and customs clearance), collected strictly when required for high-value moves, international shipping documentation, secure storage services, or as mandated by law.

5. Sharing of Your Information
Because we handle both domestic relocations across Pakistan and international moves globally, executing your move requires working with trusted global and local networks. We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to unauthorized third parties. However, we may share limited, necessary information with:

All third-party partners and international agents are bound by confidentiality obligations to handle your data securely and exclusively for the purpose of completing your move.
6. Data Storage and Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to shield your personal data from unauthorized access, accidental loss, misuse, or alteration. Access to customer data is strictly restricted to authorized operational personnel.
-
Retention Period: We retain your information only as long as necessary to complete your move, comply with local accounting, tax, or legal requirements, manage international transit warranties, and resolve any potential service disputes.
