GDPR Compliance

1. Our Commitment to GDPR

Raxvino Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions is committed to full compliance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We recognise that protecting your personal data is not just a legal obligation but a fundamental part of the trust you place in us.

As a data controller, we are responsible for determining how and why your personal data is processed. We take this responsibility seriously and have implemented comprehensive measures to ensure your data is handled lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

2. The Seven GDPR Principles

Our data processing activities adhere to the seven key principles of UK GDPR:

1
Lawfulness, Fairness & Transparency We process data lawfully, with clear and honest communication about how it is used. We never collect data through deception.
2
Purpose Limitation Data is collected for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes. We do not use your data for purposes incompatible with those originally stated.
3
Data Minimisation We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide our services and fulfil our obligations. No excess, no waste — just like our cleaning approach.
4
Accuracy We take reasonable steps to ensure personal data is accurate and kept up to date. You can request corrections at any time.
5
Storage Limitation Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary. We have clear retention schedules and securely delete data when it is no longer needed.
6
Integrity & Confidentiality We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, or destruction.
7
Accountability We can demonstrate compliance with all GDPR principles through documentation, regular reviews, and staff training.

3. Lawful Bases for Processing

We process personal data under the following lawful bases, depending on the nature of the processing activity:

Processing Activity Lawful Basis Data Types

4. Your Data Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to facilitating these rights promptly and free of charge.

Right of Access (Article 15)

You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We will provide this within 30 days in a clear, accessible format.

Right to Rectification (Article 16)

If any data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected without undue delay.

Right to Erasure (Article 17)

You can request that we delete your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing. This right does not apply where we have a legal obligation to retain data (e.g., financial records for HMRC).

Right to Restrict Processing (Article 18)

You can request that we limit how we process your data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify accuracy or assess an objection.

Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

Where processing is based on consent or contract, you can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (such as CSV or JSON).

Right to Object (Article 21)

You can object to processing based on legitimate interest or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making (Article 22)

Raxvino does not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

5. How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your data rights, contact us using any of the following methods:

We will verify your identity before processing any request. We aim to respond within 30 days. In exceptional circumstances, we may extend this by a further 60 days, in which case we will inform you and explain the reason for the delay.

6. Data Security Measures

We have implemented the following technical and organisational measures to protect personal data:

7. Data Breach Procedures

In the event of a personal data breach, we will:

  1. Assess the nature and severity of the breach immediately
  2. Notify the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours if the breach is likely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms
  3. Notify affected individuals without undue delay if the breach is likely to result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms
  4. Document the breach, our response, and any remedial actions taken
  5. Review and update our security measures to prevent recurrence

8. International Data Transfers

Your personal data is primarily processed within the United Kingdom. Where any data is transferred to countries outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

9. Data Protection Impact Assessments

Where new processing activities are likely to result in high risk to individuals, we conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) to identify and mitigate potential risks before processing begins.

10. Third-Party Processors

We use a limited number of third-party processors to help deliver our services. Each processor is bound by a data processing agreement that requires them to:

11. Children's Data

Our services are not directed at children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child, we will delete it promptly.

12. Record of Processing Activities

In accordance with Article 30 of UK GDPR, we maintain a comprehensive Record of Processing Activities (ROPA) that documents all personal data processing, including purposes, categories of data, recipients, retention periods, and security measures.

13. Supervisory Authority

If you believe we have not handled your data appropriately, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK supervisory authority:

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF
