1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how VVE LIMITED (trading as VVE Clean), Company Registration Number 17234391, registered in England and Wales, collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website or services.

Our website is www.vveclean.co.uk. You can contact us at contact@vveclean.co.uk or by phone on 020 8050 2233.

VVE LIMITED is the data controller for the personal information we hold about you.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

We may collect and process the following personal data:

  • Full name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Property address and postcode
  • Booking details (service type, preferred date and time)
  • Payment and deposit status (we do not store full card details — see Section 5)
  • Messages and notes you send us when requesting a quote or support
  • Photos you share to help us assess a job or provide a quote
  • Website usage data where analytics or advertising tracking is in use (see Section 7)

3. Why We Collect It

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To provide quotes and respond to enquiries
  • To manage and confirm bookings
  • To process deposit payments securely via Stripe
  • To deliver cleaning and property services to you

5. Payments

All card payments and deposits are processed securely by Stripe, a PCI-DSS compliant payment processor. We do not receive, store, or have access to your full card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment credentials. Stripe's own privacy policy applies to data you submit during checkout. You can view it at stripe.com/gb/privacy.

6. Who We Share Data With

We only share your data with third parties where necessary. This may include:

  • Stripe — to process deposit payments securely
  • Google — for advertising (Google Ads), analytics (Google Analytics), and related services, where in use
  • Email service providers — to send booking confirmations and customer communications
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers (e.g. Vercel) — to operate the website
  • Booking or CRM tools we use to manage appointments
  • Our accountants or legal advisers — where required for business or legal purposes
  • Regulatory authorities or law enforcement — if required by law

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

7. Cookies and Tracking

When you first visit our website, we ask you to choose which of the cookie categories below you're happy for us to use. You can change your choice at any time — see “How to change your choice” below.

Essential storage (always on)

Some storage on your device is required for the website to work at all, and is not switched off by your cookie choice. This includes: remembering your quote and booking selections as you move between pages, restoring your booking details if you leave and come back, keeping your visit to our booking and payment pages working correctly, and remembering which leaflet or advert brought you to the site so we can honour any associated discount. None of this is used for advertising on its own.

Analytics storage (optional)

If you agree, we use analytics storage to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are viewed — so we can improve it. This is switched off until you agree to it.

Advertising storage (optional)

If you agree, we allow Google to use advertising storage to measure and improve the relevance of our adverts (for example, Google Ads). This is switched off until you agree to it.

Google Consent Mode

We use a Google feature called Consent Mode. In plain terms: until you tell us otherwise, Google's advertising and analytics tools are set to a "no cookies, no storage" mode by default. If you accept analytics and/or advertising cookies, we tell Google to switch the relevant storage on for you. If you reject them, Google's tools stay in that reduced, cookie-free mode — we do not separately load or duplicate Google's tracking tag to work around your choice.

How to change your choice

You can accept all cookies, reject optional cookies, or choose exactly which categories to allow, at any time, using the link in the website footer. You can also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential storage may prevent parts of the booking and payment process from working correctly.

8. How Long We Keep Your Data

We retain personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected:

  • Enquiries and quote requests: retained for a reasonable period in case you return or for reference
  • Booking and payment records: retained for as long as required for legal, accounting, and tax purposes (typically 6–7 years under UK tax rules)
  • Marketing communications: until you opt out or withdraw consent

9. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Request deletion of your data in certain circumstances
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@vveclean.co.uk. We will respond within one month.
