Lawful Bases For Processing Personal Data

We only process personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so under applicable data protection laws. Depending on the circumstances, Carpet Cleaners Mayfair relies on the following lawful bases:

Performance of a contract. We process personal data where this is necessary to provide you with the requested services, manage bookings, perform cleaning services at the agreed address, issue invoices, and manage payments.

Legitimate interests. We process personal data for our legitimate business interests, provided these are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. This includes managing and improving our services, handling customer queries, maintaining business records, and protecting the security of our operations and property.

Legal obligations. We process personal data where necessary to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as tax laws, accounting standards, and obligations to maintain certain records.

Consent. In limited cases, we may rely on your consent, for example where you have asked to receive direct marketing communications about our services. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

How We Use Personal Data

Carpet Cleaners Mayfair uses personal data for the following purposes:

To provide and manage our cleaning services, including processing enquiries, confirming bookings, carrying out services at your property, and communicating with you about appointments.

Where permitted, to send you information about similar services that we believe may be of interest to you, subject to your preferences and rights regarding direct marketing.

Data Sharing And Processors

We do not sell your personal data. We may share personal data with carefully selected third parties only where necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy or where we are legally required to do so. These third parties may act as data processors on our behalf or as independent data controllers.

Data processors that may process personal data on behalf of Carpet Cleaners Mayfair include payment processing providers, accounting or bookkeeping service providers, information technology and hosting providers who support our business systems, and external customer management or scheduling platforms used to handle bookings and customer records.

We ensure that any third-party processors are bound by contractual obligations to keep your personal data secure, to use it only according to our instructions, and to comply with applicable data protection laws.

We may also share personal data with professional advisers such as legal or tax advisers where necessary, and with law enforcement or other authorities where required by law or where we reasonably consider it necessary to protect our legal rights, the rights of others, or safety.

Data Retention

Carpet Cleaners Mayfair retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and to meet any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Contact and booking records are generally kept for a period that allows us to manage ongoing or repeat services, handle queries about past work, and comply with tax and financial record keeping requirements. Financial information and invoices are retained for the duration required by applicable tax and accounting laws.

In determining appropriate retention periods, we consider the nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the purposes for which we process it, and whether those purposes can be achieved through other means. When personal data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymise it.

International Transfers

Where we use third-party service providers that are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, or that store data in other countries, personal data may be transferred internationally. In such cases, we take steps to ensure that an adequate level of protection is in place, such as using standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards, in line with applicable data protection laws.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, staff training on data protection, and procedures for handling potential data breaches.

While we strive to protect your personal data, no system or transmission of data can be guaranteed as fully secure. You are encouraged to take reasonable precautions when sharing your personal data with us.
