We act as the data controller for the personal data we collect and process in connection with our services. This means we decide how and why your personal data is used, and we are responsible for ensuring that such use is compliant with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data processed about all Oven Cleaning Lambeth customers, prospective customers, and other individuals in the Lambeth area who contact us regarding our oven cleaning services. It covers data collected through telephone communications, written correspondence, messaging platforms, and any other means by which you interact with us in relation to our services.
Personal Data We Collect
We only collect personal data that is necessary for the provision and administration of our oven cleaning services. The types of personal data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, home address, service address, and preferred methods of contact. Booking and service information, such as requested service type, property access details provided by you, preferred dates and times, and notes relevant to the delivery of the cleaning service. Communication records, including information contained in messages or correspondence exchanged with you when you enquire, make a booking, or provide feedback. Payment-related information, such as records of payments, amounts, dates, and methods of payment. We do not store full card details where payments are processed through third-party payment providers. Technical and usage data, such as basic device or browser information where necessary for security and functionality when you communicate with us via online channels.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data in several ways. You may provide it directly when you contact us to request information, obtain a quote, or make a booking. We may also collect data when you confirm or amend an existing booking, or when you give feedback about the service you received. In some cases, data may be collected automatically through technical logs when you interact with us via online platforms or digital communications, to ensure the security and proper operation of our services.
Lawful Bases for Processing
Oven Cleaning Lambeth processes personal data only where we have a lawful basis under the UK GDPR. Depending on the circumstances, we rely on the following lawful bases:
Performance of a contract: We process your personal data when it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, for example, to manage bookings, deliver oven cleaning services, and handle your payment. Legitimate interests: We may process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your rights and freedoms do not override those interests. This includes managing our relationship with customers, improving our services, and handling routine business administration. Legal obligations: We may process personal data where necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as record keeping, accounting, and responding to lawful requests from regulatory or public authorities. Consent: In situations where we rely on your consent, we will make this clear at the point of collection and explain how you can withdraw that consent at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
To provide and manage oven cleaning services, including confirming bookings, arranging access to the property, and tailoring the service to your requirements. To communicate with you about your enquiry or booking, such as sending confirmations, updates, or changes to appointments. To process and record payments, handle invoices, and manage accounts and tax records. To respond to your questions, requests, feedback, or complaints and to provide customer support. To maintain and improve our business operations, including service quality and internal processes. To comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and to protect our rights, property, and safety, as well as those of our customers and others.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share it with third parties when necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In particular, we may share personal data with:
Service providers acting as data processors, such as IT support providers, booking system providers, communication tools, and payment processing companies, who assist us in delivering and administering our services. Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, where necessary for business operations, compliance, or the protection of our legal interests. Public authorities and regulators, where required by law or where necessary to comply with legal processes or lawful requests.
Whenever we engage data processors, we ensure that appropriate data processing agreements are in place. These agreements require processors to handle your personal data securely, use it only in accordance with our instructions, and comply with applicable data protection laws.
International Transfers
Where any of our service providers or their systems are located outside the United Kingdom, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions. In such cases, we take appropriate steps to ensure that your data is protected in accordance with UK data protection law. This may include using standard contractual clauses or relying on other recognised safeguards to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection.
Data Retention
Oven Cleaning Lambeth retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including the performance of our services and compliance with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. How long we keep your data depends on the nature of the information and the context in which it was obtained.
Typically, we retain core customer and booking records for a period that allows us to respond to queries, manage repeat bookings, and meet our legal obligations for financial and tax records. At the end of the relevant retention period, or when the data is no longer required, we will either securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be linked to you.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, secure storage methods, encryption where appropriate, and staff awareness of data protection responsibilities. While no method of transmission or storage is entirely risk free, we are committed to regularly reviewing and improving our security practices to safeguard your information.
Your Data Protection Rights
As an individual whose personal data is processed by Oven Cleaning Lambeth, you have certain rights under data protection law. These rights include:
Right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, together with information about how it is used. Right to rectification: You can ask us to correct or complete any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete. Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or where you withdraw consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing. Right to restriction: You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as when you contest its accuracy or object to its use. Right to object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests if you believe your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh our interests. Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine readable format, or transfer it to another controller where technically feasible. Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
