Lawful bases for processing your data
We only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the context, one or more of the following lawful bases may apply:
Contract. We process your personal data when it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you. This includes arranging, providing, and managing cleaning services, processing your bookings, and handling payments.
Legitimate interests. We process your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. These interests include managing our operations in the W2 area, improving our services, responding to enquiries, and maintaining records of services supplied.
Legal obligation. We may process your personal data where we are required to do so by law, regulations, or court orders, such as for accounting, taxation, or record keeping obligations.
Consent. In limited circumstances, we may rely on your consent, for example where we wish to send you certain forms of marketing communications that you have chosen to receive. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
How we use your personal data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To respond to enquiries, provide quotes, and discuss potential or requested cleaning services in the W2 area.
To schedule, manage, and deliver cleaning services at your property, including providing cleaners with the information needed to perform the service safely and effectively.
To process payments, issue invoices, and maintain financial and service records.
To manage our relationship with you, including handling complaints, service issues, rebooking, or cancellations.
To improve and develop our services, including monitoring service quality and training our staff and contractors.
To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.
Data retention and storage
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we retain:
Basic customer and booking records for a period reasonably necessary to manage repeat bookings and to deal with any queries or disputes.
Financial and invoicing records for the period required under applicable tax and accounting laws.
Communication records and complaint details for a period necessary to resolve the matter and demonstrate how it was handled.
Once personal data is no longer required for these purposes, we will securely delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Data processors and sharing of personal data
We may share your personal data with carefully selected third parties who act as data processors on our behalf. These processors are only permitted to process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. They are required to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data.
Examples of processors we may use include:
Payment processing providers who handle transactions and confirmation of payments for our services.
Booking and scheduling tools or software providers that help us manage enquiries and appointments.
Accountancy or administration services that assist us with financial records and compliance.
We may also share limited personal data with independent cleaners or subcontractors who deliver services on our behalf in the W2 area, but only to the extent necessary to perform the agreed services, such as your name, service address, and appointment details.
In addition, we may share personal data where required by law, regulation, or legal process, or in connection with a business sale, transfer, or restructuring, in which case appropriate safeguards will be applied.
International data transfers
Where it is necessary to use service providers located outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that your personal data receives a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to that provided under applicable data protection laws. This may include using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities or other legally recognised safeguards.
Security of your personal data
We take the security of your personal data seriously. We use a combination of technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. Access to personal data is limited to those staff, contractors, and processors who have a business need to know it and who are subject to confidentiality obligations.
Your data protection rights
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. Subject to certain conditions and exceptions, you may be entitled to:
Access your personal data and receive a copy of the information we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Request erasure of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for us to continue processing it.
Object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests, and your particular situation gives rise to such an objection.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format, where applicable.
Withdraw consent where we rely on your consent to process your personal data. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdraw it.
