Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data processed by Deep Cleaning Enfield in connection with our deep cleaning and related services provided to customers in the Enfield area, whether you contact us by phone, online enquiry, in writing, or in person.

Data controller

For the purposes of data protection law, Deep Cleaning Enfield is the data controller of the personal data described in this policy. This means we decide how and why your personal data is processed.

Personal data we collect

We only collect personal data that is relevant and necessary for providing our services, managing our relationship with you, and complying with our legal obligations. The categories of personal data we may collect include:

Contact details such as your name, address, property location, and any alternative contact address you provide to us. Communication details such as your chosen methods of contact and records of communications you have with us, including enquiries, booking confirmations and service feedback. Service information such as details about the property or premises to be cleaned, access information you choose to provide, preferred dates and times, and any specific cleaning instructions or notes you give us. Billing and payment information such as billing address, payment status, payment method used, and transaction records. We do not store full payment card details, but we may receive limited payment information from our payment providers where needed for reconciliation, accounting and fraud prevention. Usage and technical data such as information about how you interact with our website or online services, including basic analytics data, device information, and browsing actions and patterns.

How we collect personal data

We collect personal data in several ways. Directly from you when you request a quote, make a booking, contact us with a question, or provide information during or after a service visit. Automatically when you visit our website, through the use of cookies or similar technologies that collect limited technical information to help us improve our services. From third parties such as payment processors and service providers who support our operations, and who may share limited information with us in accordance with their own privacy obligations.

Lawful basis for processing

We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so under data protection law. The main lawful bases we rely upon are: Contract, where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, such as taking bookings, providing cleaning services, and managing your account. Legal obligation, where processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal requirement, such as record-keeping for tax or accounting purposes. Legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. These interests may include managing and improving our services, handling queries and complaints, preventing fraud or misuse, and maintaining business records. Consent, where you have clearly agreed to a specific use of your data, such as receiving certain types of marketing communications. When we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

How we use your personal data

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes: To provide and manage cleaning services, including organising visits, allocating staff, and following your preferences and instructions. To communicate with you about quotes, bookings, changes, cancellations, or follow-up questions. To process payments, manage invoices and handle any related queries. To respond to your requests, complaints or feedback and to improve the quality and safety of our services. To maintain accurate business and financial records. To protect our business, our staff and our customers, including detecting and preventing fraud or misuse of our services. To send you information about services that may be of interest to you, where we are allowed to do so by law or where you have given your consent.

Sharing your personal data and use of processors

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with trusted third parties where necessary for our business operations, in line with this Privacy Policy and data protection law. These third parties include: Service providers and processors that help us deliver our services, such as scheduling tools, customer management systems, website hosting providers, and payment processors. Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where necessary for our legitimate interests and legal obligations. Public authorities and regulators where we are legally required to share information, for example in response to lawful requests.

When we use third party processors to handle personal data on our behalf, we ensure that they only process personal data in accordance with our instructions, keep it secure, and comply with data protection laws. We have appropriate contracts in place with such processors.

Data retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. In general: Booking and service records are retained for a period that allows us to handle queries, complaints or repeat bookings and to meet our legal obligations. Financial and transaction records are retained for the period required by tax and accounting laws. Communications and enquiry records are kept for a reasonable time to allow us to respond and to improve our services.

When 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.

International transfers

If any of our service providers or processors are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection. This may include using standard contractual clauses or relying on other permitted transfer mechanisms under data protection law.

Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures include limiting access to personal data to those employees, contractors and service providers who need it for legitimate business purposes, using secure systems and ensuring that our staff are aware of their data protection responsibilities. While we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

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 Deep Cleaning Enfield customers in the Enfield area, subject to certain legal conditions and exceptions.

You have the right to access your personal data and to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold about you. You have the right to request erasure of your personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected and we have no legal requirement to retain it. You have the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you believe is incorrect. You have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including certain types of direct marketing. You may also have the right to data portability, allowing you to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.

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

Exercising your rights

If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights, or if you have questions or concerns about how we handle personal data, you can contact us using the contact details you normally use for Deep Cleaning Enfield. We may need to verify your identity before responding to some requests. We aim to respond to all valid requests within the time limits set by law.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your personal data, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concerns. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection authority in the United Kingdom.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, the law or how we process personal data. Any updated version will apply from the date it is published. We recommend that you review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
