This Privacy Policy explains how Deep Cleaning Canary Wharf collects, uses, shares and protects personal data relating to customers and prospective customers within the Canary Wharf area. It is intended to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using our cleaning services or contacting us to request information or a quote, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all Deep Cleaning Canary Wharf customers and prospective customers located in the Canary Wharf area. It covers personal data collected in the course of providing our deep cleaning and related services, including data collected via phone, messaging applications, online enquiry forms, written correspondence and in-person discussions.
Data Controller
Deep Cleaning Canary Wharf acts as the data controller for the personal data we collect about our customers and prospective customers. As data controller, we determine the purposes and means of processing your personal data and are responsible for ensuring it is handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different categories of personal data depending on how you interact with us and which services you use. The main types of data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, title, home or business address, billing address, and means of communication you provide, for example email address or messaging handle.
Service and property details, such as property type, size, access instructions, parking information, photographs you choose to share for quotation purposes, and any specific cleaning requirements or notes about the premises.
Booking and transaction information, including dates and times of appointments, records of services requested and provided, quotations, invoices, payment status and methods used. Where required for payment processing, this may involve limited payment-related data, but card details are normally handled directly by our payment processors.
Communication records, including enquiries, complaints, feedback, and any correspondence between you and Deep Cleaning Canary Wharf, whether by phone, online messaging or in writing.
Technical and usage data, such as basic device or browser information, and general analytics relating to how you access or interact with our online content, where this is collected in a compliant manner.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use personal data for the following purposes:
To provide and manage our cleaning services, including responding to enquiries, preparing quotations, arranging appointments, planning work, carrying out cleaning services and managing aftercare.
To manage our relationship with you, including providing customer support, handling complaints, notifying you about changes to our services or terms, and maintaining accurate records.
To process payments and accounting, including issuing invoices, recording payments, performing financial reporting and meeting our tax and accounting obligations.
To improve our services, including monitoring service quality, analysing trends, developing new offerings and training staff.
To send relevant service-related communications, such as appointment confirmations, reminders or information about important changes directly connected to the services you receive.
To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests from regulatory authorities, law enforcement or courts, when required.
Lawful Bases for Processing
Deep Cleaning Canary Wharf relies on one or more of the following lawful bases for processing your personal data:
Performance of a contract, where processing is necessary to provide our cleaning services, prepare a quote at your request, or manage your bookings and related obligations.
Compliance with a legal obligation, where we must retain or disclose certain information to comply with laws, such as tax or accounting requirements.
Legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests and these are not overridden by your rights and interests. This may include improving our services, maintaining security and preventing fraud, and keeping records related to customer interactions.
Consent, in limited circumstances where we rely on your clear agreement to process your data for a specific purpose not covered by the other lawful bases. If we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time.
Data Sharing and Processors
We may share your personal data with trusted third parties that act as data processors on our behalf. These processors only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Typical categories of processors may include:
Payment processing providers that handle transactions and card payments securely.
IT and cloud service providers that supply hosting, storage, communication platforms or business applications.
Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, who may access limited data where reasonably necessary for the services they provide to us.
We may also share personal data with other third parties where required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of our staff and customers, or in connection with a business sale or restructuring, in which case appropriate safeguards will be applied.
International Data Transfers
Where any of our service providers or systems are located outside the United Kingdom, or store data in another country, we take steps to ensure that your personal data is afforded an equivalent level of protection. This may involve using standard contractual clauses or relying on adequacy regulations that recognise the receiving country as providing adequate protection.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
Customer and booking records are generally kept for the duration of our relationship with you and for a reasonable period afterwards, typically up to six years, to enable us to respond to queries, manage any disputes and comply with tax and accounting rules.
Where personal data is no longer required, we take appropriate steps to delete, anonymise or securely destroy it.
Security of Your Personal Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration or disclosure. These measures include limiting access to personal data to staff and processors who have a legitimate need to know, using secure systems where appropriate, and providing staff guidance on data protection responsibilities. While we strive to protect your information, no system can be guaranteed as completely secure.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, you have several rights in relation to your personal data. These rights may be subject to certain conditions and legal limitations. Your rights include:
The right of access, allowing you to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to obtain a copy of that data, along with certain related information.
The right to rectification, enabling you to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
The right to erasure, sometimes known as the right to be forgotten, allowing you to request deletion of your personal data where there is no longer a valid reason for us to keep it.
The right to restrict processing, allowing you to ask us to limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances.
The right to data portability, enabling you in some cases to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
The right to object, allowing you to object to certain types of processing based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
The right to withdraw consent, where we rely on consent as the lawful basis for processing your personal data. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Exercising Your Rights
If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights, or if you have questions or concerns about how Deep Cleaning Canary Wharf handles your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details provided on our official materials or through the channels you normally use to communicate with us. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable legal timeframes.
Complaints
If you believe that your personal data has not been handled in compliance with data protection laws, you have the right to raise your concerns directly with us in the first instance. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority responsible for data protection 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, legal requirements or data protection practices. Any changes will take effect when the updated version is made available. You are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.
