This Privacy Policy explains how Oven Cleaning Chelsea collects, uses, stores and protects personal data of its customers in the Chelsea area and surrounding neighbourhoods. It is intended to be clear and transparent so that you understand what information we hold about you, why we hold it, and how you can exercise your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and related data protection laws.
This Privacy Policy applies to all Oven Cleaning Chelsea customers in our service area, including individuals who make enquiries, book oven cleaning services, or otherwise interact with us in relation to our business.
Who we are and scope of this policy
Oven Cleaning Chelsea is a local oven cleaning service provider. For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, Oven Cleaning Chelsea is the controller of the personal data described in this Privacy Policy. This means we decide how and why your personal data is processed when you use our services or contact us.
This policy covers all personal data we collect in the context of providing our oven cleaning services, whether the information is collected online, over the phone, in writing, or in person at your property.
What personal data we collect
We collect and process different types of personal data depending on how you interact with us. The personal data we typically collect includes:
Identification and contact details: name, address, service address if different, and basic contact details such as your preferred method for us to contact you.
Booking and service information: details of your oven cleaning booking, such as date and time of the appointment, type and size of appliance, special access instructions, and any preferences you tell us about.
Communication data: information you provide when you contact us with enquiries, feedback, complaints, or requests, including records of messages and our responses.
Payment and transaction data: details relating to the payment for our services, such as payment amount, date, and confirmation. We do not store full payment card details; these are processed securely by our chosen payment processors.
Website and usage data: if you visit our website, we may collect technical and usage data such as your IP address, browser type, and how you navigate our website. This helps us understand and improve how our site is used.
Any other information you choose to give us: for example, if you provide additional details about your property or accessibility needs so that we can carry out our services safely and effectively.
Lawful bases for processing your data
We only process your personal data when we have a valid lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following lawful bases:
Performance of a contract: we process your personal data to enter into and fulfil our contract with you for oven cleaning services. This includes handling bookings, confirming appointments, carrying out the cleaning, and communicating with you about the service.
Legitimate interests: we may process your personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, and where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This includes improving our services, managing our business operations, maintaining accurate records, and responding to enquiries.
Legal obligations: we may process and retain certain information where we are required to do so by law, for example for tax, accounting, or regulatory reasons.
Consent: in limited situations, we may ask for your consent to use your personal data for a specific purpose, such as sending you certain types of marketing communications. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How we use your personal data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide oven cleaning services: managing bookings and schedules, confirming appointments, accessing your property as arranged, and carrying out the agreed work.
To communicate with you: responding to your requests and enquiries, providing service updates, and sending important information about your booking.
To manage our business: maintaining internal records, handling payments and invoices, dealing with complaints and disputes, and ensuring the quality and safety of our services.
To improve our services and website: analysing feedback, service history, and website usage to help us understand how our services are used and how we can improve them.
To comply with legal and regulatory requirements: fulfilling our record-keeping obligations and providing information to public authorities where we are legally required to do so.
Data sharing and processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with third parties where necessary for the purposes described above, and only to the extent permitted by law.
Service providers acting as processors: we may use trusted third parties to help us run our business. These may include payment processing providers, IT and hosting providers, booking or scheduling tools, and customer relationship management services. These service providers act on our instructions and are contractually required to protect your personal data and to use it only for the services they provide to us.
Professional advisers: we may share data with professional advisers such as accountants, auditors, or legal advisers where this is necessary for the services they provide to us.
Public authorities and law enforcement: we may disclose personal data where required to comply with a legal obligation, to protect the rights, property or safety of our business, our customers or others, or to detect and prevent fraud or other crimes.
In all cases where we share your data, we only provide the information that is strictly necessary, and we take steps to ensure your data remains protected.
Data retention and storage
We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Booking and service records: we typically keep records of bookings, services performed, and related communications for a period that allows us to handle any queries, complaints, or potential legal claims, and to comply with applicable record-keeping obligations.
Payment and financial records: we retain transaction data for the period required under tax and accounting laws.
Marketing and communications: where you have agreed to receive marketing communications, we keep your contact details until you opt out or we no longer need them for this purpose. If you unsubscribe, we will keep a record of your request to ensure we respect your preference.
At the end of the relevant retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you.
International transfers
If any of our service providers are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data protection laws. Where this occurs, we take appropriate steps to ensure your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection, such as using data transfer agreements that include standard data protection clauses approved under data protection law.
How we protect your data
We are committed to safeguarding your personal data. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access.
These measures include limiting access to personal data to those who need it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, using secure systems and processes where appropriate, and ensuring that our staff and service providers understand their data protection responsibilities.
Your data protection rights
As a data subject, you have a range of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. These rights apply to all Oven Cleaning Chelsea customers in our service area, subject to certain legal limitations and exceptions. Your rights include:
Right of access: you can request information about whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of the data we hold about you, together with certain details about how we use it.
Right to rectification: you can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you.
Right to erasure: in certain circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected.

Right to data portability: in some cases, you can request a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and ask us to transfer it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object: you can object to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests as our lawful basis. You also have the right to object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.
Rights relating to consent: where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew consent.

You can exercise your data protection rights or raise any concerns you may have about our use of your personal data by contacting us using your usual Oven Cleaning Chelsea contact channel. To help us respond efficiently, please provide your name, contact details, and a clear description of your request.
We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request to ensure that we protect your privacy and security.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority if you believe that your personal data has not been handled in accordance with the law. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly before you approach a supervisory authority.
