Lawful bases for processing
We rely on the following lawful bases under the UK General Data Protection Regulation to process your personal data:
Contract. We process your personal data when it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, including taking steps at your request before entering into a contract. This includes providing quotes, managing bookings, delivering cleaning services, 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. Our legitimate interests include managing and improving our services, responding to enquiries, maintaining accurate records, and promoting our services to existing or potential customers in a proportionate way.
Legal obligation. We process personal data when it is necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, for example in relation to tax or accounting laws and to respond to lawful requests from authorities.
Consent. In certain limited circumstances, we may rely on your consent, for example where required for specific types of direct marketing or for certain optional cookies or analytics tools. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time by contacting us or by using the options provided at the time your consent was collected.
How we use your personal data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide and manage our cleaning services in the Knightsbridge area, including taking bookings, confirming appointments, delivering services at your premises, and arranging any follow up visits.
To communicate with you about your bookings, enquiries, quotes, changes to services, or any issues that may arise in relation to the services we provide.
To manage payments, invoices, and accounting records, including confirming receipt of payment and dealing with billing questions or disputes.
To improve our services and operations, including reviewing feedback, monitoring service performance, and analysing aggregated usage information to understand customer needs.
To send you information about our services that may be of interest to you, where we are permitted to do so and in line with applicable marketing and data protection laws.
To protect our rights, property, and the security of our staff and customers, for example by keeping records of key communications and service details in case of disputes or complaints.
To comply with legal and regulatory obligations and to cooperate with authorities where we are required or permitted to do so by law.
Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and to satisfy any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we retain customer and service records for a period that allows us to manage our relationship with you, handle any queries or complaints, and demonstrate that we have provided services in a proper manner. Accounting and tax related records are kept for the period required by law.
When personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with an identified or identifiable individual.
Data processors and third parties
We may share personal data with trusted third parties who act as data processors on our behalf to help us provide our services and run our business. These may include:
Payment service providers who process payments and help us manage billing and refunds.
IT and hosting providers who store data and support our business systems and website.
Analytics and service providers who assist us in understanding how our website is used and how we can improve our services.
Professional advisers, such as accountants or legal advisers, where necessary for legitimate business and legal purposes.
These processors are only permitted to process personal data in accordance with our instructions and for the purposes we specify. They are required to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data and to comply with applicable data protection laws.
We may also need to share personal data with other third parties in limited circumstances, for example where we are under a legal obligation to do so or where it is necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others.
International transfers
Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area by our processors or service providers, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that an adequate level of protection is applied, in line with applicable data protection laws. This may include using standard contractual clauses or relying on adequacy regulations or decisions.
Data security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include limiting access to personal data to those staff, contractors, and processors who need it for legitimate business purposes, using secure systems where appropriate, and regularly reviewing our practices and safeguards.
While we take reasonable steps to protect personal data, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You should take care in how you share information with us and notify us promptly if you believe your data may have been compromised in connection with our services.
Your data protection rights
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and related legislation, you have several rights in relation to your personal data. These rights apply to all Deep Cleaning Knightsbridge customers in the Knightsbridge area, subject to certain conditions and legal exceptions:
Right of access. You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data, together with certain information about how we use it.
Right to rectification. You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to erasure. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete 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 legal basis for processing.
Right to restriction of processing. You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, for example while we verify the accuracy of the data or consider an objection you have raised.
Right to data portability. In some circumstances, you have the right to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine readable format and to request that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object. You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the lawful basis. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where processing is needed for legal claims. You always have the right to object to direct marketing.
Rights related to consent. Where we rely on your consent to process personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights, or if you have any questions or concerns about how Deep Cleaning Knightsbridge processes your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details provided on our website or in your service documentation. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request and we will reply within the time limits set by law.
You also have the right to raise a concern with the relevant data protection authority if you are not satisfied with our response. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any concerns directly.
