Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process personal data that is necessary for providing our oven cleaning services and managing our relationship with you. Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of information:
Contact details such as your name, address, and your preferred method of communication. Booking and service information such as details of the property where the service is to be carried out, preferred dates and times, and any specific service instructions you provide. Payment-related information, such as confirmation that payment has been made and payment method type, processed through third-party payment processors. We do not store full payment card details. Communication records, including messages, service enquiries, and feedback you provide to us before, during and after your booking. Technical and usage information about your interaction with our website or online forms, such as basic device and browser information, pages viewed and the date and time of your visit, collected through cookies or similar technologies where applicable.
Lawful Bases for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. Depending on the purpose, we rely on the following lawful bases:
Contract: We process your personal data where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, such as taking bookings, providing oven cleaning services at your property and handling billing and payments. Legal obligation: We may process certain information to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, for example maintaining records for tax and accounting purposes. Legitimate interests: We may process your personal data to pursue our legitimate business interests, for example managing and improving our services, responding to your enquiries, keeping basic records of past services, and ensuring the security of our systems, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Consent: In some cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for sending certain types of marketing communications where consent is required. Where 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 respond to enquiries, provide quotes and confirm bookings for oven cleaning services in the Edgware area. To deliver oven cleaning and related services at the agreed address and time. To manage payments, issue invoices and handle any refunds or billing queries through our payment processors. To communicate with you about your appointments, changes to your booking, and follow-up information related to your service. To maintain internal records of services carried out, including dates, addresses and customer details, for administration, accounting and service improvement. To improve our services, website functionality and customer experience through analysis of aggregated or pseudonymised data where possible. To send you service updates or marketing messages, where permitted by law and, where necessary, where you have given us consent.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We only share your information with trusted third parties where this is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and always in accordance with data protection laws.
We may share your personal data with service providers acting as data processors who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing providers, providers of scheduling or booking tools, information technology and system support providers, and providers that assist us with customer communication and record-keeping. These processors are only permitted to use your personal data on our documented instructions and must protect it with appropriate security measures.
We may also share your personal data where required to comply with a legal obligation, to protect our rights or the rights of others, or in connection with a business transfer where applicable. Where possible, any data sharing is limited to what is strictly necessary for the purpose.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.
In general, we will retain customer records, including basic contact information, booking details and service history, for a period that allows us to respond to queries, manage any complaints or legal claims, and comply with tax and accounting obligations. Payment-related records are kept for the periods required by financial and legal regulations. Where we rely on your consent for marketing communications, we will store your contact details for as long as you remain subscribed and will delete or anonymise them if you withdraw consent or object to marketing.
When personal data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
International Transfers
Some of our service providers or their systems may be located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Where your personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that it is afforded an equivalent level of protection, for example by relying on adequacy decisions or by using standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards as permitted by data protection law.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
These measures include limiting access to personal data to those employees, contractors and service providers who need it for legitimate business purposes, using secure methods for storing and transmitting information, and maintaining procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach. While we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your Data Protection Rights
As an individual in the Edgware area whose personal data we process, you have a number of rights under data protection law. Subject to certain conditions and legal limitations, you may have the right to:
Access your personal data and receive a copy of the information we hold about you. Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data relating to you. Request deletion of your personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue processing it, for example where you successfully object to processing or where it is no longer needed for the original purpose. Object to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests and you believe your rights override our interests, and to object at any time to processing for direct marketing. Request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we verify its accuracy or our legitimate grounds for processing. Request the transfer of your personal data to you or another service provider in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, where technically feasible and where the processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means. Where we rely on consent, withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority if you are concerned about how we handle your personal data. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concerns directly.
Children
Our services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can delete it where appropriate.

Any updated version will apply to all Oven Cleaning Edgware customers and enquiries in the Edgware area from the date it is published.
