What data we collect

We collect information you give us when you contact us or use our services. This can include:

• Your name and contact details.
• Your home or office address.
• Your cleaning priorities and booking notes.
• Your quotes, bookings and cleaning reports.
• Messages you send to us.

Our hosting provider also processes technical data, such as your IP address, to deliver and protect this website.

Why we use your data

We use your data to answer enquiries, arrange consultations, provide quotes and deliver cleaning services.

We also use it to manage bookings, keep business records, meet legal duties and protect our service.

Our legal reasons

UK GDPR requires a legal reason for each use. We use data to take steps you request before a contract and to perform our contract with you.

We also use data to meet legal obligations. Where needed, we use our legitimate interests to run and protect our business without overriding your rights.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data.

We share only the data needed with providers that support our business, such as website hosting and email services. We may also share data when the law requires it.

Our social media pages

We have pages on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. The links to them are at the bottom of each page. These links take you to other websites. This website does not send data to these companies.

If you send us a message or a comment on one of these pages, we use it to answer you. Meta and TikTok also use your data under their own privacy policies. Meta and A Little Dusting are both responsible for the page statistics that Meta makes for our Facebook page.

How long we keep it

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the reasons on this page.

Retention periods depend on our work with you, legal and tax rules, disputes and the need to keep accurate business records.

Your UK GDPR rights

You can ask us to give you a copy of your personal data or correct data that is wrong.

In some circumstances, you can ask us to delete data, limit its use or provide it in a portable format. You can also object to some uses.

Contact us to make a request. We may need to check your identity before we act.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. We would welcome the chance to answer your concern first.
