Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 27, 2025
Welcome to Oliver's Cleans. I am committed to protecting your privacy and complying with UK data protection laws (UK GDPR). This policy explains what information I collect and how I use it.
1. Information I Collect
I only collect the information you provide directly when you:
- Contact Me: Through the contact form or direct email, I collect your name, phone number, and email address to respond to your inquiry.
- Book a Service: When you use my online booking system, a third-party service called Setmore collects your name, email, phone number, and details of your booking to manage the appointment.
- Make a Payment: When you pay for a service, I use a secure third-party card reader from SumUp. I do not collect or store your credit or debit card information. All payment processing is handled securely by SumUp.
2. How I Use Your Information (Legal Basis)
I process your personal data based on the necessity to perform the contract with you to provide my cleaning services. I use the information you provide for the following specific purposes:
- To contact you and respond to your questions or booking requests.
- To schedule and provide my cleaning services to you at your requested location.
- To manage transactions and payments for the services provided.
- To improve the quality of my services and customer experience (using optional feedback).
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information with other businesses or individuals. I only share your information with trusted third parties to the extent necessary to provide my services:
- Setmore: My online booking provider, which securely stores your booking details.
- SumUp: My payment processor, which handles all card payments securely.
- Trustpilot: To request and manage service reviews (only if you opt-in or if your details are provided as part of a review request).
I may also disclose your information if required by law or if I believe it is necessary to protect my business and my customers' safety.
4. Data Security & International Transfers
I am committed to keeping your information secure. While no method of data transmission is 100% secure, I use appropriate measures to protect the personal data I collect. Your personal data is stored and processed within the United Kingdom. Where third-party services (Setmore, SumUp, Trustpilot) are used, I ensure they also comply with UK data protection laws to protect your information.
5. Data Retention
I will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. This includes satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Once your information is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymized.
6. Cookies
I use small files called **cookies** on my website. These are used strictly to ensure a smooth user experience, such as remembering your preference for light or dark mode and accepting the cookie banner. They do not store any personally identifiable information about you and are not used for tracking or targeted advertising.
7. Your Rights (UK GDPR)
Under UK data protection laws, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- **Right of Access**: To request a copy of the data I hold about you.
- **Right to Rectification**: To have any incorrect or incomplete data corrected.
- **Right to Erasure ('Right to be Forgotten')**: To request that your data be deleted, subject to legal and contractual obligations.
- **Right to Restrict Processing**: To limit the way I use your data in certain circumstances.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact me directly at: **info@oliverscleans.co.uk**.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), if you believe your data has been handled improperly.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the effective date at the top. Any major updates will also be announced in the Business Updates & News section on the main website.
