Data Controller
Cleaners Finsbury Park is the data controller for the personal data described in this Privacy Policy. As data controller, we determine the purposes and means of the processing of your personal information and are responsible for ensuring that such processing complies with applicable data protection laws.
Personal Data We Collect
We collect and process different types of personal data about you when you contact us, make a booking, or use our services. The categories of data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details, such as your full name, home or business address, billing address, and general contact details such as general communication details. Service and booking information, such as details about the property to be cleaned, access instructions, type of cleaning service requested, preferred dates and times, frequency of visits, and any specific notes or instructions you choose to provide. Transaction and payment information, such as payment method, amounts paid, dates of payments, and basic invoicing information. We do not store full payment card details, but we may receive limited payment-related data from our payment processors for accounting and record keeping. Communication records, such as information contained in emails, online forms, messages, and other communications you send to us, as well as records of our responses. Usage information, such as information about how you interact with our website or online booking tools, including basic technical data such as your device type, browser type, and general usage patterns.
We do not intentionally collect special category data, such as health information, unless you voluntarily provide it to us because it is relevant to the provision of our services, for example relating to allergies or cleaning product sensitivities.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us by phone, complete an online form, make a booking, request a quote, or communicate with us in any other way. We may also receive personal data from third parties, such as online booking platforms or referral partners, where you have given your information to them for the purpose of using our services.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We rely on the following lawful bases under the UK General Data Protection Regulation to process your personal data:
Performance of a contract. We process personal data that is necessary to provide our cleaning services, manage your bookings, process payments, issue invoices, and communicate with you about your service. Legitimate interests. We process certain 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 activities such as managing our business operations, improving our services, maintaining security, and handling customer queries and complaints. Legal obligations. We process personal data where it is necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as tax and accounting requirements and responding to lawful requests from authorities. Consent. In limited circumstances, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of marketing communications where this is required by law. Where we rely on consent, you are free to withdraw your consent at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide and manage cleaning services, including setting up and managing your bookings, sending confirmations and reminders, planning staff schedules, and carrying out the cleaning work at your property. To manage billing and payments, including issuing invoices, processing payments, managing refunds or changes to bookings, and maintaining proper financial records. To communicate with you, including responding to your questions and requests, sending service-related updates, and notifying you of any changes to our terms or policies. To manage customer relationships, including handling feedback, resolving complaints, and improving the quality of our services. To ensure security and compliance, including protecting our staff, customers, and property, and complying with applicable laws and regulatory requirements. To improve our website and services, including monitoring usage patterns, carrying out internal analysis, and enhancing or adapting our services based on customer needs.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we retain customer and booking records for a period that allows us to manage ongoing relationships, respond to queries or disputes, and meet our legal obligations. Financial records, including invoices and transaction details, are typically retained for a number of years to comply with tax and accounting rules. Communication records may be kept for a period that allows us to monitor service quality, address complaints, and maintain evidence of our interactions.
When we no longer need your personal data for these purposes, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
Data Processors and Sharing of Personal Data
We may share your personal data with third parties who act as data processors on our behalf. These processors are only permitted to use your data in accordance with our instructions and for the specific purposes we define. They must also implement appropriate security measures to protect your data.
Types of processors and third parties we may use include:
Payment processing providers, for processing card or online payments and managing refunds. IT and hosting providers, who supply and maintain our website, booking tools, and data storage systems. Customer relationship management and communication service providers, who help us manage customer inquiries, appointment reminders, and internal records. Professional advisers, such as accountants, where necessary for business administration and compliance.
We may also share personal data where required by law, for example with law enforcement authorities, regulators, or courts, or in connection with legal claims.
We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may be located outside the United Kingdom or may store data in other countries. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, in accordance with data protection law. These safeguards may include the use of standard contractual clauses or ensuring that the destination country has been recognised as providing an adequate level of protection.
Data Security
We take the security of your personal data seriously. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, encryption where appropriate, and staff training on data protection responsibilities.
While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no system can be completely secure. You are responsible for keeping any passwords or access details confidential and for notifying us promptly if you suspect any unauthorised use of your personal data.

Under data protection laws, you have a number of rights regarding your personal data. These rights apply to all Cleaners Finsbury Park customers in the Finsbury Park area, subject to certain legal exceptions. Your rights include:
The right of access. You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data, along with information about how we use it. The right to rectification. You have the right to request that we correct or complete any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. The right to erasure.

The right to restrict processing. You can ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to our processing. The right to data portability. Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to request that we transfer it to another controller. The right to object. You have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including certain forms of profiling.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you are concerned about how your personal data is being handled. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve any concerns directly.
Children’s Data
Our services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data relating to children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as reasonably possible.
