This Privacy Policy covers all personal data processed by us in connection with enquiries, bookings, and the provision of our services within our service area.
Types of Personal Data We Collect
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, residential address, service address, and any preferred contact details you choose to share with us. Service and booking information, such as details of the properties we visit, types of appliances to be cleaned, booking dates and times, and any specific instructions you provide. Transaction and payment information relating to payments for our services, such as payment method and amounts paid. We do not store full payment card details. Communication records, including information you provide when you contact us by phone, online form, or other channels, such as questions, feedback, or complaints. Technical and usage information relating to your use of our website, such as approximate location and device type, where this is collected via cookies or similar technologies, subject to your consent where required by law.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data from you directly when you make an enquiry, request a quote, make a booking, or communicate with us in any way. We may also collect data when you use our website, including through cookies and similar tools, to improve our site and services, in line with your cookie preferences. In some cases, we may receive limited personal data from third parties, for example where someone books a cleaning service on your behalf and provides your contact details and address.
Lawful Basis for Processing Your Data
We only process your personal data where we have a lawful basis under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and related data protection legislation. Depending on the circumstances, our lawful bases may include:
Contract: To take steps at your request before entering into a contract and to perform our contract with you, for example to manage bookings, provide oven cleaning services, and process payments. Legal obligation: To comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, for example record-keeping and tax obligations. Legitimate interests: To pursue our legitimate business interests in a way that does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms, for example to respond to enquiries, improve our services, manage our business operations, and protect our rights. Consent: In limited cases where we rely on your consent, for example for certain types of direct marketing communications or optional cookies on our website. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We may use your personal data for the following purposes:
To handle enquiries, provide quotes, and manage bookings and appointments. To deliver oven cleaning and related services at the agreed address. To manage billing, process payments, and issue invoices or receipts. To communicate with you about your booking, including confirmations, reminders, and any changes or follow-up. To respond to your questions, feedback, or complaints and provide customer support. To manage our business operations, including internal administration, reporting, and quality control. To send you marketing communications about our services, where we are permitted to do so by law or where you have given your consent. You may opt out of marketing at any time. To maintain the security of our systems, prevent fraud, and protect our legal rights.
Data Sharing and Use of Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with carefully selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and where they act as data processors on our behalf. These may include:
Payment processing providers that handle card or online payments. IT and web hosting providers that support our website, booking tools, and data storage. Customer management or scheduling systems that help us organise and deliver services. Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, where needed for our business operations and compliance.
These processors only act on our documented instructions, are subject to contractual obligations to protect your data, and are not permitted to use your personal data for their own purposes. We may also share personal data where required to do so by law, regulatory authorities, or to protect our legal rights or the safety of our customers and staff.
International Data Transfers
Where any of our service providers or systems involve the transfer of personal data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with data protection law. These safeguards may include the use of standard contractual clauses or other legally recognised transfer mechanisms.
Data Retention
We will keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide our services, meet our legal and tax obligations, and resolve any disputes. In general, we retain most customer and transaction records for a period that reflects applicable limitation periods and regulatory requirements. When your personal data is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
How We Protect Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. Measures may include access controls, secure storage, encryption, and staff awareness about data protection responsibilities. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no system can be completely secure and you should take care when sharing personal data with us.
Your Data Protection Rights
As an Oven Cleaning Kingston customer or prospective customer within our service area, you have a number of rights under data protection law in relation to your personal data. Subject to certain conditions and exemptions, these may include:
The right of access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we use it. The right to rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data. The right to erasure: You can ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where it is no longer needed for the original purpose and there is no legal reason to keep it. The right to restrict processing: You can ask us to restrict the use of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while we consider a request to rectify it. The right to data portability: You can, in certain situations, ask us to transfer your personal data to you or another provider in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. The right to object: You can object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests, including profiling based on those interests, and you feel your rights and freedoms outweigh our interests. You also have an absolute right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. Rights related to consent: Where we rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing, you can withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
