How we collect personal data
We collect personal data in several ways, including:
Directly from you when you contact us by phone, via online forms, or in writing to request a quote, ask a question or make a booking.
During the provision of our oven cleaning services at your property, where we may confirm or update information such as your contact details and service preferences.
Automatically from your use of our website, through basic analytics tools that record technical data such as IP address and browser type.
From third party platforms that you may use to find or contact local service providers. In such cases, the platform may share the enquiry details you submit so that we can respond.
Lawful bases for processing
We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
Contract: We process your personal data to take steps at your request before entering into a contract and to perform our contract with you. This includes handling enquiries, providing quotes, managing bookings, carrying out oven cleaning services and handling payments.
Legitimate interests: We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where those interests are not overridden by your rights. Examples include improving our services, keeping basic records of past services for reference, responding to queries and complaints, and maintaining the security of our systems and premises.
Legal obligation: We process certain data to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as accounting, tax and record keeping rules.
Consent: In some cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of marketing communications that are not based on an existing customer relationship. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How we use your personal data
We use personal data for the following purposes:
To respond to enquiries, provide quotations and manage bookings.
To deliver oven cleaning services at your property and to communicate with you about your appointments.
To process payments, issue invoices and maintain accurate financial records.
To manage our relationship with you, including dealing with feedback, queries and complaints.
To send service-related messages such as appointment confirmations, reminders, updates or changes to our terms or policies.
To inform you about related services or offers where we are permitted to do so and where you have not opted out.
To operate and improve our website, services and customer experience, including through aggregated or anonymised analysis.
To protect our business, our staff and our customers, including preventing fraud and misuse of our services.
Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or to meet legal, accounting or reporting obligations.
In general, we retain customer records, including booking and payment information, for a period that allows us to respond to queries, deal with complaints, and meet tax and accounting requirements. After this period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised.
Enquiry information from potential customers who do not proceed with a booking is retained for a shorter period, sufficient to follow up on the enquiry and maintain basic records of our communications.
Where we rely on consent for marketing communications and you withdraw that consent, we will stop using your data for that purpose. We may keep a limited record of your request to ensure that your wishes are respected in future.
Data sharing and processors
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share data with third parties where necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or where we are legally required to do so.
We may share data with:
Service providers who act as data processors on our behalf, such as payment processing companies, booking or scheduling tools, customer management systems and basic website analytics providers. These processors are permitted to use personal data only to provide their services to us and in accordance with our instructions.
Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, where necessary to obtain professional services or comply with legal obligations.
Regulatory bodies, law enforcement or other authorities, if required by law or where necessary to protect our rights, property, staff or customers.
Where data is processed by third parties, we take steps to ensure appropriate contractual and technical safeguards are in place to protect your personal data.
International data transfers
Where our service providers or systems involve the transfer of personal data outside the United Kingdom, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are used to protect your data, such as standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms approved under data protection law.
Data security
We take reasonable and proportionate steps to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
Measures include restricting access to personal data to staff and contractors who need it to perform their duties, using appropriate physical and technical safeguards, and reviewing our procedures regularly to maintain security.
Your data protection rights
You have a number of rights in relation to your personal data under data protection law. Depending on the circumstances and subject to certain conditions, you may have the right to:
Access your personal data and receive a copy of the information we hold about you.
Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Request erasure of your personal data in certain situations, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and we have no legal obligation to retain it.
Object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to another service provider in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, where applicable.
Withdraw consent where we rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details on our website. We may need to verify your identity before we can act on your request, and we will respond within the timescales set by data protection law.
Complaints
If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, we encourage you to contact us in the first instance so that we can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
