This Privacy Policy explains how Oven Cleaning Putney collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you use our services. It also describes your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and related data protection laws. This policy applies to all Oven Cleaning Putney customers and prospective customers in the Putney area who contact us, request a quote, or use our oven cleaning services.
Who We Are
Oven Cleaning Putney is a local oven cleaning service provider operating in the Putney area. For the purposes of data protection law, Oven Cleaning Putney is the data controller in relation to the personal data we collect and process about you in connection with providing our services.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different types of personal data depending on how you interact with us. This may include:
Identification and contact details, such as your name, address, and general contact details you choose to provide when you make an enquiry or booking.
Service and booking details, such as the date and time of your appointment, service location, property access information that you choose to share, details about your oven or other appliances to be cleaned, and any special instructions or preferences.
Communication records, such as notes of phone calls and the content of messages or other communications when you contact us with questions, feedback, or complaints.
Payment and transaction information, such as details of the services you purchase and the method of payment. We do not store full payment card details when we use external payment processors.
Technical information, such as basic device and usage data that may be collected when you visit our online pages or contact us through digital channels, to ensure the security and performance of our services.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us, request a quote, make a booking, use our cleaning services, or communicate with us in any way. We may also receive limited information about you indirectly, for example where another person books a service on your behalf and provides your contact details and address so that we can perform the service.
Purposes and Lawful Basis for Processing
We process your personal data only where we have a valid lawful basis under data protection law. The main purposes and lawful bases are as follows:
To provide our oven cleaning services: We use your identification, contact, and service details to arrange, manage, and complete your cleaning appointment. The lawful basis is performance of a contract or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
To manage customer enquiries and support: We process your contact details and communication records to respond to questions, requests, and complaints. The lawful basis is performance of a contract or our legitimate interests in providing customer service and improving our operations.
To manage payments and accounting: We process transaction information for billing, payment, receipts, and accounting records. The lawful basis is performance of a contract and compliance with legal obligations relating to tax and financial record keeping.
To improve and protect our services: We may use non-excessive technical and usage information to maintain the security, performance, and usability of our digital channels and business systems. The lawful basis is our legitimate interests in running a secure and efficient business.
To send you relevant service information: We may contact you with important information relating to a booked service, such as appointment confirmations, changes, or follow-up details. The lawful basis is performance of a contract and our legitimate interests in ensuring effective service delivery.
To send you marketing communications where permitted: We may use your contact details to send you carefully limited information about related services or offers, where the law allows this or where you have given your consent. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
Customer records and booking information are generally kept for up to six years after the end of our relationship with you, in line with applicable limitation periods and financial record-keeping obligations.
Communication records and enquiries that do not lead to a booking may be kept for a shorter period, typically up to two years, unless there is a specific reason to retain them for longer, such as resolving a dispute.
Technical and usage data that is not needed for longer-term purposes may be retained only for a short period necessary to ensure security, investigate issues, and improve our services.
When personal data is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymise it.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We share your data only where necessary and in a controlled way.
Service providers and data processors: We may use carefully selected third parties to help us provide our services and operate our business. These may include providers of scheduling or booking tools, payment processing services, accounting or invoicing systems, IT and hosting services, and communication tools. These third parties act as data processors and are only allowed to process your personal data on our documented instructions, subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
Professional advisers: We may share necessary information with professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where required for business, legal, or tax purposes.
Legal and regulatory obligations: We may disclose personal data where required to do so by law, regulation, court order, or other legal process, or in order to protect our rights, property, safety, or the rights of others.
We aim to keep your data within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. If, in exceptional cases, your data is transferred to a country outside these regions, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with data protection laws.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include access controls, secure storage and deletion practices, and limiting personal data access to staff and providers who need it to perform their duties.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection laws, you have several important rights in relation to your personal data. Subject to certain conditions and exemptions, these include the right to:
Access your personal data and receive information about how it is processed.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we are considering a request to correct or delete your data.
Object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is required for legal claims.
Object at any time to the use of your personal data for direct marketing. If you do so, we will stop using your data for this purpose.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or another organisation, where technically feasible, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, where the processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on your consent to process your personal data. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew it.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority if you consider that your personal data has not been handled in accordance with applicable law.
Children
Our services are directed at adults in the Putney area. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data relating to children in connection with our oven cleaning services. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or data protection best practices. Any changes will take effect when the updated policy is made available. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your personal data.
