Why we collect your personal data and what we do with it

When you sign up as a customer of one of our dry-cleaning shops or you express an interest in one of our promotions, your details are stored and processed for the following reasons;

We need to collect your personal information in order to provide you with the dry-cleaning services you have requested we undertake. This request and our agreement to provide dry-cleaning services constitutes a contract and we will therefore require the ability to process your data in order to fulfil this contract and provide the services to the standards expected by the TSA and Guild of Cleaners.

We also collect, store and process this information based upon a ‘Legitimate Interest’ because without it we would be unable to provide you with the dry-cleaning services and as you use our dry-cleaning services may also be interested in offers and promotions.

So, we may also occasionally send you a newsletter, or information that we feel would benefit you. You may withdraw this consent at any time, by clicking the unsubscribe option which can be found at the top and bottom of each email, or by emailing dpo@bluedragondrycleaners.co.uk

Personal data may be provided to Blue Dragon in a number of ways including directly from you (email, post, in person, website), recommendations or forwarding of relevant information from associated parties.

Retention Period:

We retain your records for 5 years post completion of the last piece of dry-cleaning work, after which time you can ask that we delete your records if you wish. You may do this by contacting any member of our team by phone, email dpo@bluedragondrycleaners.co.uk. Should we not be requested to delete your records, these will be retained indefinitely in order for us to provide a better service at a later date without having to collect personal data again.

Storage:

Your records are stored electronically on our office computers and hardcopies are stored in a locked facility. Electronic records are backed up daily and stored securely in the cloud.
