Data Controller
For the purposes of data protection law, Oven Cleaning Acton is the data controller in relation to the personal data described in this Privacy Policy. This means we determine how and why your personal data is processed when you deal with us as a customer in the Acton area.
Personal Data We Collect
We only collect personal data that is necessary for us to provide our oven cleaning services and to manage our relationship with you. The types of personal data we may collect include the following categories.
Identification and contact details such as your name, address, postcode, and general location in the Acton area. Booking and communication details such as preferred appointment dates and times, details about your property that are relevant to the service, and information you provide when you contact us by phone, online forms or other communication channels. Service information such as notes about the condition of your oven or other appliances, work performed, materials used, and follow up requirements. Payment and billing information such as billing address and records of payments received, payment method used and transaction references. Technical and usage information where applicable such as date and time of enquiries, IP address and basic technical information necessary to operate any websites or online contact forms we may use.
We do not intentionally collect special category data, such as health information, or data relating to children. If you choose to provide such information to us, we will treat it with additional care and only use it where strictly necessary to deliver our services, based on your explicit consent or another applicable lawful basis.
How We Collect Personal Data
We collect personal data directly from you when you contact us to request information, a quotation or to make a booking, when you communicate with us about an existing booking, and when we perform oven cleaning services at your property. We may also collect personal data indirectly, for example through third party booking or advertising platforms where you have provided your details to request services from providers like us, or through basic technical information generated when you use any online forms or websites we operate.
Our Lawful Basis for Processing
We only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis to do so under data protection law. Depending on the context, we may rely on the following lawful bases.
Contract. We process personal data to take steps at your request before entering into a contract for oven cleaning services, and to perform our contract with you. This includes handling enquiries, confirming bookings, providing the service, managing payments and communicating with you about your booking.
Legitimate interests. We may process data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This may include managing our business operations, improving our services, maintaining records of past work for reference, and handling customer service communications.
Legal obligation. We may process certain data when necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as maintaining accounting and tax records.
Consent. In limited circumstances we may rely on your consent, for example, if we choose to send you certain types of marketing communications that require consent under applicable law. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
How We Use Personal Data
We use your personal data to provide and manage oven cleaning services in the Acton area, including responding to requests for quotations, making and confirming bookings, planning and performing visits to your property, communicating about changes or updates to appointments, managing invoicing and payments, and keeping records of services provided.
We may also use your personal data to respond to questions or complaints, manage and improve our business operations, maintain safety and security, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and, where permitted, to send you information about our services which may be of interest to you. You can ask us to stop sending you such information at any time.
Data Sharing and Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with limited trusted third parties where necessary to run our business and provide our services. These third parties may act as data processors and only process your personal data on our documented instructions.
Categories of such third parties may include payment processing providers that help us take and manage payments securely, information technology and systems providers that host or support our booking and communication tools, and professional advisers such as accountants or legal advisers where needed for business and compliance purposes.
These service providers are required to keep your data confidential, to use it only for the purposes we specify, and to implement appropriate security measures. We may also share data where required by law, for example with regulators or law enforcement authorities when we are legally obliged to do so.
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 business records and meet legal, accounting and reporting requirements.
In general, booking and service records are retained for a period that allows us to respond to queries, manage repeat bookings and comply with applicable limitation periods. Financial and transaction records are kept for the period required by tax and accounting laws. When personal data is no longer required, we will either delete it securely or anonymise it so that it can no longer be linked to you.
International Transfers
If we use third party service providers that store or process data outside the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with data protection laws. This may include relying on adequacy regulations or using standard contractual clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, regular review of our procedures and limiting access to personal data to those employees and processors who need it for their role and are under confidentiality obligations.
Your Data Protection Rights
As a customer of Oven Cleaning Acton, you have a number of rights under data protection law in relation to your personal data. These rights include the right to request access to a copy of the personal data we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data, the right to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances, the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, the right to request restriction of processing in certain situations, and the right to request the transfer of your personal data to you or to another service provider where technically feasible.
Where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the contact details provided on our main service information materials. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request. We aim to respond within the time limits set by data protection law.

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal data, we encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority in the United Kingdom if you believe that your data protection rights have been infringed.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services or legal obligations. Any changes will apply to all Oven Cleaning Acton customers in the area from the date the updated policy is made available.
