For individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and other regions with similar data protection laws, our legal bases for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy include:
- The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g., providing cleaning services you booked).

Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personal Identifiable Information to outside parties for their direct marketing purposes. We may share your information with:
- Service Providers: Trusted third-party companies and individuals who assist us in operating our business, conducting our website, or providing services to you, such as payment processors, scheduling software providers, IT support, or professional advisors. These parties are contractually bound to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
- Cleaning Teams/Contractors: Relevant information (e.g., address, contact number, specific service instructions) may be shared with our authorised cleaning teams or sub-contractors solely for the purpose of performing the requested services.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
Data Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. We implement a variety of security measures, including physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards, to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or interact with our service. Despite our best efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When assessing retention periods, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your data, the purposes for which we process it, and applicable legal requirements.
