How We Collect Personal Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us to request information or a quotation, make a booking, enter into a contract for our services, or provide feedback. We may also collect personal data when you respond to any service-related communications.
In some circumstances, we may receive your details from another person who makes a booking on your behalf, such as a family member, landlord, tenant, property manager, or employer, where this is necessary to arrange and deliver services at a particular premises.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a valid lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the context, the lawful basis will be one or more of the following:
Contractual necessity. We process your personal data to enter into and perform our contract with you, including providing quotations, booking appointments, delivering carpet cleaning services, issuing invoices, and handling payments.
Legitimate interests. We 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 may include managing our relationship with you, responding to enquiries, improving our services, and maintaining accurate business records.
Legal obligation. We may process your personal data where it is necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as tax, accounting, and record-keeping requirements, or to respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
Consent. In limited circumstances, we may rely on your consent, for example where we send you certain types of optional marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time, and we will explain how to do so at the time we request it.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use your personal data to provide and manage our services, communicate with you, and operate our business in an efficient and safe manner. This includes:

Delivering the services at the correct address and according to the specifications you provide.
Processing payments, managing billing, and maintaining appropriate financial records.
Responding to your questions, comments, or complaints, and resolving any issues related to our services.

Where permitted, informing you about important changes to our services, service area, or terms and conditions.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The retention period will depend on the type of data and the purpose of processing.
Information related to bookings, service delivery, and payments is normally retained for a period that allows us to respond to any queries or complaints, and to meet tax and accounting obligations. This is usually several years after the end of our relationship with you, in line with legal and regulatory requirements.
Where personal data is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it, or securely store it in an archived form if required for legal, regulatory, or legitimate business purposes.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with limited third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with data protection law.
Service providers and processors. We may use carefully selected third party service providers to support our business operations, such as providers of payment processing, accounting, booking or scheduling tools, and secure data storage. These providers act as data processors and are contractually required to process personal data only in accordance with our instructions, to keep it secure, and to comply with data protection requirements.
Professional advisers and authorities. We may share data with professional advisers such as accountants, auditors, or legal advisers, and with public authorities or law enforcement agencies where this is required by law or necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.
In all such cases, we limit the personal data provided to what is necessary for the relevant purpose and take appropriate measures to protect your privacy.
International Transfers
Where 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 is afforded a level of protection that is essentially equivalent to that provided under UK data protection law. This may include relying on adequacy regulations, or putting in place appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, together with additional safeguards where required.
Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include limiting access to personal data to personnel and service providers who need it for legitimate business purposes, using appropriate technical and organisational safeguards, and regularly reviewing our security measures.
While no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, we strive to protect your information and to respond promptly to any suspected data security incident, in line with our legal obligations.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. These rights are subject to certain conditions and legal exceptions, and we will explain these if you make a request. Your rights may include:

Right to erasure. In certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data.
Right to restriction. You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, for example while we are considering a request for rectification.

Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent or a contract and by automated means, you may have the right to receive that data in a structured, commonly used, and machine readable format and to have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object. You may object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis, particularly for direct marketing purposes.
