Who We Are and Scope of This Policy
Cleaners Uxbridge is a cleaning service provider offering domestic and commercial cleaning services in and around Uxbridge. For the purposes of data protection law, Cleaners Uxbridge is the controller of the personal data described in this Privacy Policy.

Personal Data We Collect
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data about you when you contact us, make a booking, or use our services:
Identification and contact details: name, postal address, service address, and other basic identifiers you provide to us so we can communicate with you and deliver our services.
Booking and service information: details of the services you request, preferred dates and times, access instructions for the property, special cleaning requirements, and records of communications relating to bookings or changes.
Payment and billing information: details required to process payments for services, such as the amount charged and payment status. If we use third-party payment processors, certain payment details will be collected and processed directly by those providers.

Usage information: limited information on how you interact with our website or online content, such as dates and times of visits and basic technical data needed for the security and proper functioning of our website.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the circumstances, we rely on the following lawful bases:
Performance of a contract: we process your personal data in order to provide our cleaning services, manage bookings, take payment, and communicate with you regarding the contract between you and Cleaners Uxbridge.
Compliance with legal obligations: we may process your data to meet legal or regulatory requirements, such as maintaining accounting records and complying with tax and audit obligations.
Legitimate interests: we may process your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. This includes managing and improving our services, responding to enquiries, preventing fraud, and maintaining the security of our systems and premises.
Consent: in limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where required to send 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 handle enquiries and provide quotations for cleaning services in the Uxbridge area.
To set up and manage bookings, schedule cleaners, and deliver the cleaning services you have requested.
To process payments, issue invoices, and manage any refunds or queries about charges.

Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with third parties only where necessary and in accordance with data protection law.
Service providers and processors: we may engage third-party service providers to act as processors on our behalf. These may include payment processing companies, information technology and system support providers, customer relationship management tools, and subcontracted cleaners or agencies involved in delivering our services. These processors are only allowed to process your personal data on our documented instructions and must keep it secure.
Professional advisers and authorities: we may share personal data with professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers and with regulatory bodies, law enforcement, or other authorities when required by law or where necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.
Business transfers: if we are involved in a business sale, merger, or reorganisation, your personal data may be transferred to a new owner or entity as part of that transaction, in line with data protection law.
International Transfers
Where we use service providers that are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, or that store data in other countries, we take steps to ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection. This may include using standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards as approved by data protection authorities.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and to meet any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we retain customer records for a period that allows us to manage ongoing services, respond to any questions or disputes, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. After the relevant retention period has expired, we will securely delete or anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures include limiting access to personal data to staff and service providers who need such access for legitimate business purposes and who are subject to confidentiality obligations.
While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no transmission of data or storage system can be guaranteed as completely secure. You should take care to keep any account details or access information secure.
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 Cleaners Uxbridge customers in the Uxbridge area, subject to certain conditions and legal limitations.
Right of access: you have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we use it.
Right to rectification: you can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to erasure: in certain circumstances, you can ask us to delete your personal data, for example where the data is no longer needed for the original purpose or you withdraw consent where consent was the lawful basis.
Right to restriction of processing: you may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as while we are verifying its accuracy or considering an objection.
Right to object: you have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling, and to object at any time to processing of your personal data for direct marketing.
Right to data portability: where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you may have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to request that it is transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you can withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before consent was withdrawn.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection if you believe that your rights have been infringed.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or how we process personal data.
