This Privacy Policy applies to all Carpet Cleaning Richmond customers in our service area, including individuals, households and business clients.
Who We Are and Scope of This Policy
Carpet Cleaning Richmond is a cleaning service provider operating in the Richmond area. For the purposes of data protection law, Carpet Cleaning Richmond is the data controller for the personal data we collect and process about our customers, prospective customers and website visitors. This Privacy Policy applies whenever you contact us, request a quote, make a booking, receive our services, or otherwise interact with us in the Richmond area.
Personal Data We Collect
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:
Contact and identity details such as your name, address, property details, billing address, and preferred contact method.
Communication details such as your correspondence with us, including enquiries, booking confirmations, and feedback you provide by phone or in writing.
Service information such as dates and times of appointments, records of services provided, special instructions for access to the property, and information on flooring, carpets and upholstery relevant to the work.
Payment and finance information such as records of payments made, payment method used, invoices, and any information needed for accounting and tax purposes. We do not store full payment card details when payments are processed through secure third party providers.
Technical and usage data such as basic information about how you use our website or interact with our online content, including device type, general location information derived from your IP address, and pages visited. This may be collected through cookies or similar technologies where used and where permitted by law.
How We Collect Personal Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us to request a quote, make a booking, ask a question, or provide feedback. This may be done by phone, through online contact forms, or in person at your property when we carry out services.
We may also collect personal data automatically when you visit our website, through automated technologies such as cookies, subject to your browser settings and any applicable consent requirements.
In some cases we may receive personal data from third parties, for example from referral partners or platforms that you use to request cleaning services, where those partners are permitted to share information with us.
Lawful Basis for Processing
We only process personal data when we have a lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the context, we rely on the following lawful bases:
Contract performance: We process your personal data to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract and to perform our contract with you, for example to provide quotes, schedule and deliver cleaning services, and manage payments.
Legal obligations: We process certain personal data to comply with legal obligations, such as tax, accounting and record keeping requirements, and to respond to lawful requests from authorities.
Legitimate interests: We process personal data as necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This includes managing and improving our services, responding to enquiries, maintaining security, preventing fraud, and promoting our services to existing or recent customers in a proportionate way.
Consent: In limited cases we may rely on your explicit consent, for example where required for certain types of marketing communications or for the use of non-essential cookies. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
How We Use Personal Data
We use your personal data for the following purposes:
To provide quotes, arrange appointments and deliver our carpet cleaning and related services at your property.
To communicate with you about bookings, changes, cancellations, reminders, aftercare advice and service follow-up.
To manage payments, issue invoices and receipts, and keep appropriate financial records.
To handle your questions, complaints, feedback or disputes and to improve the quality of our services.
To manage our relationship with you as a customer, including maintaining customer records and service history.
To conduct basic analytics and service planning, such as understanding typical service frequency, seasonal demand and location patterns in the Richmond area.
To comply with legal and regulatory requirements and to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and where permitted by law. These third parties act as data processors or, in some limited cases, as independent controllers.
We may use service providers that act as data processors to support our operations, such as providers of booking or customer management systems, payment processing services, accounting and invoicing tools, IT and system administration services, and providers that help us with secure data storage and business support.
When we use data processors, we ensure that appropriate contractual and technical safeguards are in place so that your personal data is processed only on our instructions, is kept secure, and is not used for the processor’s own purposes.
We may also share personal data where necessary with professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers, and with authorities or regulators when required by law or to protect our rights or the rights of others.
International Transfers
If any of our service providers or systems are located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for any international transfers of personal data, such as using jurisdictions that have been recognised as providing an adequate level of protection, or putting in place standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide our services, maintain records of our work, and meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
In general, we keep customer and service records for a period that aligns with applicable limitation periods for legal claims and statutory retention obligations. Payment and invoice records are typically kept for the period required under tax and company law. Enquiry records that do not lead to services may be kept for a shorter, proportionate period.
When personal data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.
Security of Your Personal Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include limiting access to personal data to those who need it to perform their duties, using secure systems and devices where possible, and regularly reviewing our processes and safeguards.
Your Data Protection Rights
If you are a customer or individual in the Richmond area and your personal data is processed by Carpet Cleaning Richmond, you have a number of rights under data protection law, subject to certain conditions and exemptions.
Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and to request a copy of that personal data, together with information about how we use it.
Right to rectification: You have the right to ask us to correct or complete personal data that you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to erasure: In some circumstances, you can request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or you withdraw consent where consent was the basis for processing.
Right to restriction: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, for example while we consider a request for rectification.
Right to object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including certain forms of direct marketing. We will stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds or a legal obligation to continue.
Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract and is 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 transmit it to another controller.
Where we rely on consent as a lawful basis, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Exercising Your Rights and Contact
If you wish to exercise any of your data protection rights or have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how Carpet Cleaning Richmond handles personal data, you can contact us using the contact details available on our website or any communication material you have received from us.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority if you are concerned about how your personal data is being handled. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns directly in the first instance.
