We are committed to complying with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who We Are
Cleaners Camberwell is a cleaning services provider operating in the Camberwell area. In relation to the personal data we collect, we act as a data controller. This means we decide how and why your personal data is processed when you use our services, visit our website, or contact us to make an enquiry or booking.
Personal Data We Collect
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data about you:
Identification and contact details such as name, postal address, and any other contact information you choose to provide when booking or enquiring about services.
Service and booking details such as service address, property type and size, preferred dates and times, instructions for access, and details of services requested.
Billing and payment information such as billing address and records of payments made, payment status, and related transaction information. We do not store full card details where third-party payment processors are used.
Communication records such as enquiries, complaints, feedback, and any correspondence between you and Cleaners Camberwell.
Usage and technical data such as IP address, device information, and basic analytics data collected through your interactions with our website, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us to request a quote, make a booking, confirm or amend your service, provide feedback or reviews, or communicate with us by any means. We may collect data automatically as you use our website, subject to your browser settings and applicable laws. We may also receive limited data from third-party platforms where you have made an enquiry or booking through them and they are authorised to share that information with us.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so under data protection laws. Depending on the context, we rely on the following lawful bases:
Contract. We process personal data to take steps at your request before entering into a contract and to perform our contract with you, for example to manage bookings, provide cleaning services, and handle payments.
Legal obligation. We process certain information to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, including tax, accounting, and record-keeping obligations.
Legitimate interests. We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate interests and those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. Examples include responding to enquiries, improving our services and website, managing our business operations, preventing fraud, and protecting our legal rights.
Consent. Where required by law, we may rely on your consent for specific processing activities, such as certain types of marketing communications. You can withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We may use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide our cleaning services, including processing enquiries and bookings, arranging attendance at your property, and managing your account.
To communicate with you about your bookings, including confirmations, updates, reminders, and any changes or issues relating to your services.
To manage payments, invoicing, refunds, and related financial administration.
To respond to your questions, feedback, or complaints and to provide customer support.
To administer and protect our business, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, and security.
To improve the quality, efficiency, and user experience of our services and website.
To send you service-related information and, where permitted, limited marketing communications that may be of interest, subject to your marketing preferences and rights.
Data Sharing and Processors
We may share your personal data with selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and where permitted by law. This can include:
Service providers acting as data processors who provide services such as IT support, website hosting, booking systems, customer relationship management, analytics, and payment processing. These processors are only permitted to process your data on our instructions and must implement appropriate safeguards.
Professional advisers including accountants, auditors, or legal advisers where this is necessary for the services they provide to us.
Authorities and regulators where we are legally required to do so or where necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
International Transfers
Where any of our service providers are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place before transferring your personal data. These safeguards may include the use of standard contractual clauses and other recognised transfer mechanisms under data protection law to protect your information.
Data Retention
We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, personal data relating to bookings and service provision will be stored for the duration of your relationship with us and for a reasonable period thereafter to manage queries, disputes, and legal obligations. Financial and transaction records are typically retained for the period required by tax and accounting laws.
When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection laws, you have certain rights in relation to your personal data. Subject to conditions and exemptions in the law, these rights may include:
Right of access. You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data, along with related information.
Right to rectification. You can ask us to correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to erasure. In some circumstances, you can request the deletion of your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or where you withdraw consent and there is no other lawful basis.
Right to restriction of processing. You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data in certain situations, such as while we verify its accuracy or assess an objection.
Right to object. You can object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling, and to direct marketing at any time.
Right to data portability. In certain cases, you can request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format or that we transfer it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to withdraw consent. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your data protection rights have been infringed.
Security of Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage. Measures may include access controls, secure systems, staff training, and regular review of our security procedures. While we strive to protect your information, no system can be guaranteed as completely secure.
Children
Our services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18 without appropriate consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without proper consent, we will take steps to delete such data as soon as reasonably possible.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. Any updated version will apply from the date it is made available. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your personal data.
