Personal Data We Collect
Lucy Cleaners may collect and process personal data necessary to provide cleaning services effectively. This may include your name, address, details about your property, booking information, and any specific instructions related to the service.
We may also collect information related to communication, such as enquiries, service requests, and feedback. In some cases, limited technical data may be collected when interacting with our systems, such as general usage data or device-related information.
We only collect data that is relevant and necessary for the provision of our services.
How We Use Personal Data
Your personal data is used to deliver and manage cleaning services, including processing bookings, scheduling appointments, and providing customer support. It also allows us to maintain records of services provided and to ensure that we meet our contractual obligations.
We may use personal data to improve our services, respond to enquiries, and manage our business operations. In certain cases, data may be used to comply with legal obligations or to protect the rights and safety of Lucy Cleaners, its staff, and its clients.
Lawful Basis for Processing
Lucy Cleaners processes personal data on lawful grounds as defined by data protection legislation. This includes processing necessary for the performance of a contract, such as delivering cleaning services requested by the client.
We may also process data where it is necessary to comply with legal obligations or where there is a legitimate interest in managing and improving our services. In limited cases, we may rely on consent, particularly where required by law.
All processing activities are carried out with consideration for your rights and interests.
Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. This includes maintaining records of services provided, managing ongoing client relationships, and meeting legal or regulatory requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the data and the reason for its collection. Once the data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with our data handling procedures.
Data Sharing and Processors
Lucy Cleaners may share personal data with third parties where necessary to support the delivery of services. This may include service providers, contractors, or administrative support functions that act on our behalf.
All third parties are required to handle personal data in accordance with data protection laws and only for the purposes specified by Lucy Cleaners. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place when working with processors to protect your data.
We do not sell or trade personal data to third parties.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. This includes secure handling of information and controlled access to data within our organisation.
While we take reasonable steps to protect data, no system can be completely secure. We continually review our processes to maintain a high level of data protection.

You also have the right to restrict or object to certain types of processing, as well as the right to data portability in applicable circumstances. Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
