Data Controller
For the purposes of data protection law, Oven Cleaning Wandsworth is the data controller responsible for the personal data we collect and process in connection with our oven cleaning services.
Personal Data We Collect
We only collect information that is necessary to deliver our services, manage our relationship with you and comply with legal obligations. The types of personal data we may collect include:
Identification and contact details, such as your full name, residential address, billing address, and general location within the Wandsworth area.
Contact and communication data, such as your preferred contact method and any information you choose to share with us in messages, calls or written correspondence when you request a quote, make a booking or ask a question.
Service details, such as property access instructions relevant to carrying out oven cleaning, details of the appliances to be cleaned, photographs you choose to provide of the oven or surrounding area, and records of completed work.
Transaction and payment information, such as payment status, date and time of transactions, amount charged and method of payment. We do not store full card details; if card payments are taken, they are processed securely by third party payment providers.
Technical and usage data, such as basic device or browser information and general usage data about how you interact with our website, where applicable. This may include the use of cookies or similar technologies where permitted by law.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us by phone, through an online enquiry form, in person, or by any other means to request a quote or book a service. We may also receive personal data when you interact with our website or digital content, such as completing a form or sending a message online.
Lawful Bases for Processing
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under data protection law. Depending on the context, we rely on the following lawful bases:
Contract. We process your personal data to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, and to perform a contract for oven cleaning services. This includes handling bookings, providing cleaning services at your property, managing payments and communicating with you about your appointment.
Legitimate interests. We may process your data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This can include responding to general enquiries, improving our services, managing our business operations, defending legal claims and ensuring site security.
Legal obligation. We process certain information to comply with legal requirements, such as maintaining appropriate business and financial records for tax and accounting purposes.
Consent. In limited circumstances, we may rely on your consent, for example for certain types of marketing communications where they are not otherwise permitted under legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How We Use Your Personal Data
We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:
To provide and manage oven cleaning services in the Wandsworth area, including confirming bookings, visiting your property, and carrying out cleaning work.
To communicate with you about your enquiries, appointments, changes to bookings, or issues relating to your service.
To manage payments, invoices and accounts, and to maintain accurate financial records.
To improve our services, handle complaints, and monitor the quality and efficiency of our work.
To fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations, including record keeping and responding to lawful requests from public authorities where applicable.
To protect our business, staff and customers, including preventing and addressing fraud, misuse or security incidents.
Data Sharing and Processors
We may share personal data with trusted third parties where necessary to provide our services or to run our business. These third parties act as data processors or independent controllers, depending on the circumstances.
Data processors who may process data on our behalf include:
Payment processing providers who handle card or electronic transactions securely.
Service management or booking platforms that assist with scheduling and managing appointments.
Cloud storage or IT service providers that host data or provide technical support.
Professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers, to the extent necessary to provide their services.
All processors who handle personal data on our behalf are required to process data only in accordance with our instructions, to keep it secure, and to comply with data protection law.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of satisfying legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
In general, we will retain customer records related to oven cleaning services in the Wandsworth area for as long as you remain an active customer and for a period afterwards where required by law or where necessary to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. Financial and transaction records will usually be kept for a minimum period required by tax and accounting regulations.
When personal data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it securely.
International Transfers
Where we use service providers located outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we take steps to ensure that your personal data is afforded an adequate level of protection consistent with UK data protection law. This may include relying on adequacy regulations or using standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards where appropriate.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, encryption where appropriate, staff awareness and policies designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal data.
Despite these measures, no system can be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, but we will act promptly to investigate and manage any suspected data security incident.
Your Data Protection Rights
Under data protection law, individuals have a number of rights in relation to their personal data. These rights apply to all qualifying Oven Cleaning Wandsworth customers and enquirers in the Wandsworth area, subject to certain limitations and exemptions.

Right of access. You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and certain information about how it is processed.
Right to rectification. You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you.
Right to erasure. In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data, for example where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you withdraw consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing.
Right to restrict processing. You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, for instance while we verify its accuracy or consider an objection you have raised.
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 transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
