Lawful Basis for Processing
We rely on the following lawful bases under the UK GDPR for processing your personal data:
Contract: We process personal data where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, for example to provide oven cleaning services, confirm appointments, manage payments, and handle related customer service matters.
Legal obligation: We may process data where necessary to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, such as maintaining financial and tax records or responding to lawful requests from public authorities.
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 can include managing our relationship with you, improving our services, keeping our business records up to date, preventing fraud, and ensuring the security of our systems and staff.
Consent: In certain cases, we may rely on your consent, for example for specific types of optional marketing communications or certain cookie uses where required by law. Where we rely on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
In general, we may retain customer and booking records for a number of years after your last interaction with us, in order to respond to queries, manage our business records, and comply with legal obligations. Financial and transaction records may be kept for longer periods where required by tax or accounting regulations.
Once personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, or when any applicable retention period expires, we will securely delete, anonymise, or otherwise dispose of it.
Data Processors and Third Parties
We may share your personal data with trusted third parties who act as data processors on our behalf. These processors help us operate our business and deliver services, for example by providing:
Booking, scheduling, or customer management systems.
Secure payment processing services.
IT hosting, security, and support services.
Professional services such as accountants or advisers who assist with our business operations.
We require all processors to process your personal data only on our documented instructions, to keep it secure, and to comply with applicable data protection laws. We do not allow our processors to use your personal data for their own purposes.
We may also need to share personal data with other third parties in limited circumstances, for example with public authorities or regulators where required by law, or with professional advisers such as lawyers in the context of legal claims or disputes.
International Transfers
Where it is necessary for our service providers or systems to transfer personal data outside the UK, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with data protection laws. These safeguards may include using countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection, or implementing standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.
Security of Your Data
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These measures may include access controls, secure storage, and limiting access to personal data to those staff and processors who need it for legitimate business purposes.
While we strive to protect your personal data, no system or transmission of information over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. You are responsible for keeping any information you use to communicate with us secure and confidential.
