It is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and related data protection laws. By using our cleaning services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all customers and prospective customers of Cleaners Colliers Wood in the Colliers Wood area who request, use, or enquire about our cleaning services. It covers personal data collected through telephone communication, in-person communication, written correspondence, and any online contact forms we may use.

Data Controller

For the purposes of data protection law, Cleaners Colliers Wood is the data controller in respect of your personal data. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal information when you use our services in the Colliers Wood area.

Personal Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data about you:

Identification and contact details: name, address in the Colliers Wood area or surrounding locations, billing address, and other contact details such as your preferred methods of contact.

Service information: details about the cleaning services you request, property type and size, access instructions, preferred dates and times, and any special requirements you may specify.

Account and communication data: records of correspondence and communications with you, including notes of telephone calls and messages relating to bookings, quotes, or feedback.

Payment and transaction data: information relating to payments for our services, such as payment amounts, dates, and methods. We do not store full payment card details when using secure third-party payment providers.

Technical and usage data: limited technical information that may be collected when you visit any online resources we operate, such as approximate location, device type, and information about how you interact with our content, where applicable.

How We Collect Your Data

We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us to request a quote, make a booking, or ask a question about our services. This may be by telephone, in writing, or through any online form we provide. We may also receive personal data indirectly from third parties who help us provide services to you, such as payment processors, where this is necessary for fulfilling your booking or handling a payment.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so, as required by the UK GDPR. The main lawful bases we rely on are:

Contract: Processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, for example to provide cleaning services, issue quotes, manage bookings, and communicate with you about your appointments.

Legal obligation: Processing is necessary for us to comply with legal requirements, such as tax, accounting, and record-keeping obligations.

Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. For example, we may use your data to improve our services, manage our business operations, prevent fraud, or handle customer enquiries and complaints.

Consent: On some occasions, we may rely on your explicit consent, for example if we wish to send you certain types of marketing communications where these are not based on our legitimate interests. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

How We Use Your Personal Data

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

To provide cleaning services in the Colliers Wood area, including processing bookings, arranging staff visits, and managing access to your property.

To respond to your enquiries, provide quotes, and communicate with you about the services you request.

To manage payments, invoicing, and accounting records associated with your use of our services.

To improve and develop our services, including reviewing customer feedback and analysing service usage trends within the Colliers Wood area.

To maintain security, prevent fraud, and protect our business and customers.

To comply with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, and requests from authorised public authorities where we are legally required to do so.

Data Processors and Third Parties

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 data in accordance with our instructions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Examples of such processors include:

Payment processing providers that handle payments for our cleaning services in a secure manner.

IT and hosting providers that support our booking systems, email services, or data storage systems.

Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers, where necessary for our legitimate business needs or legal compliance.

Where processors are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Data Retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The specific retention period may vary depending on the type of data and the reason for processing.

In general, data related to bookings, invoices, and payments is retained for a period required by tax and accounting laws. Communication records and service details may be retained for a reasonable period to handle any queries, feedback, or potential disputes after the services have been completed.

When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures may include restricted access to personal data, staff training in data protection, and secure storage solutions. While we strive to protect your personal information, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Your Data Protection Rights

As a customer of Cleaners Colliers Wood, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data under the UK GDPR, subject to certain conditions and exemptions. These rights include:

Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation that we process your personal data and to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent and there is no other legal basis for processing.

Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to our processing.

Right to data portability: Where our processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, you may have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to request that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data that is based on our legitimate interests. We will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where processing is required for legal claims.

Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you can contact us using the contact details you already have for Cleaners Colliers Wood.

Complaints

If you are concerned about the way we handle your personal data, you have the right to complain to the relevant supervisory authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can attempt to resolve your concerns directly and promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, applicable laws, or data protection practices. Any updates will be effective from the date of publication. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
