This Privacy Policy applies to all services provided by Cleaners Wandsworth to individuals and businesses within the Wandsworth area.
Who This Privacy Policy Applies To
This Privacy Policy applies to all Cleaners Wandsworth customers, prospective customers and website visitors located in the Wandsworth area who contact us, request a quote, make a booking or otherwise provide personal data to us in connection with our cleaning services.
Personal Data We Collect
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:
Identity and contact details such as name, title, service address, billing address, and any other contact details you choose to provide.
Service information such as property type, access instructions, preferred dates and times for visits, details of services requested, and any special instructions you give us.
Communication data such as information provided when you contact us by phone, online form or other communication channels, including complaints, feedback and enquiries.
Booking and transaction data such as service history, booking dates, amounts charged, payment status and related administrative records. We do not store full card details; payment processing is handled by third party payment processors.
Technical and usage data such as information generated when you visit our website, including basic system logs and analytics data collected through necessary and analytics tools, to help us understand how our services are used and to improve them.
Any other information you choose to provide to us that is connected to the provision of cleaning services or related customer support.
Lawful Bases for Processing
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the context, the lawful bases we rely on are:
Contract: We process personal data to enter into and perform a contract with you for cleaning services, including handling bookings, providing services, taking payment and managing your account.
Legitimate interests: We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This includes managing our relationship with you, improving our services, handling queries, monitoring service quality, and preventing or investigating misuse or unlawful activity.
Legal obligation: We process certain personal data in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as accounting, tax and reporting requirements, as well as responding to requests from public authorities where required by law.
Consent: In some cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of marketing communications where consent is required. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How We Use Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
To provide and manage cleaning services in the Wandsworth area, including processing enquiries, providing quotes, confirming bookings and delivering services at the agreed location.
To manage payments, invoicing and accounting, including issuing receipts and dealing with any questions regarding payments or billing.
To communicate with you about your bookings, service updates, appointment reminders, changes to our terms and policies and any issues that may affect your service.
To respond to your enquiries, requests, complaints or feedback and to provide customer support.
To improve our services, operations and customer experience, including analysing service usage and reviewing customer feedback.
To maintain the safety and security of our staff, customers and property, including managing access instructions and service notes necessary for safe service delivery.
To comply with legal obligations and to protect our legal rights, including the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Data Sharing and Processors
We may share personal data with carefully selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. These third parties act as data processors or, in some cases, as separate controllers. Categories of such recipients include:
Service delivery partners such as self-employed cleaners or cleaning teams who carry out the services at your premises. They may receive information such as your name, service address, service details and access instructions strictly as needed to perform the service.
Payment processors and financial service providers that handle card or electronic payments on our behalf. These providers process payment data in accordance with their own security and compliance obligations.
IT and system support providers who supply or maintain our booking systems, customer management tools, communication platforms and secure data storage solutions.
Professional advisers such as accountants, auditors or legal advisers, where necessary for business management, legal compliance or the protection of our legal rights.
Public authorities and regulators where we are legally required to disclose information, for example for tax, accounting, law enforcement or regulatory reporting purposes.
We require all data processors to handle personal data securely and to use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed. We do not sell personal data.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet any legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and the nature of our relationship with you.
In general, we retain core customer and booking records for a period that allows us to provide ongoing services, respond to queries about past services and comply with legal record-keeping obligations. After the applicable retention period expires, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual.
If you request deletion of your personal data, we will review whether we are able to delete it in full or whether we must retain certain information for legal or regulatory reasons. In such cases, we will retain only the minimum information required and keep it securely.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include access controls, secure storage practices and limiting personal data access to personnel and contractors who need it for legitimate business purposes and who are subject to confidentiality obligations.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights apply to all Cleaners Wandsworth customers and prospective customers in the Wandsworth area, subject to certain legal conditions and limitations.
Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to obtain a copy of that data, along with information about how we use it.
Right to rectification: You have the right to ask us to correct or update personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data. This right is not absolute and may be limited where we need to retain information for legal or legitimate business reasons.
Right to restriction: You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, for example where you contest its accuracy or object to our processing.
Right to data portability: For certain data processed by automated means on the basis of consent or contract, you have the right to request that we provide you with a copy of your personal data in a commonly used format or that we transfer it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object: You may object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights and freedoms or where processing is required for legal claims.
Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
You are also entitled to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you are concerned about how your personal data is being handled. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concerns directly.
International Transfers
If we transfer personal data outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as relying on adequacy regulations or using standard contractual clauses, so that your data remains protected in line with applicable data protection laws.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, our data processing practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be effective when the updated version is made available. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
