We may also use your email to send you occasional newsletters or promotional offers that we believe may be of interest to you, based on your previous interactions, but you will always have the option to opt-out.
Our aim is to keep you informed and ensure a smooth, transparent service experience. We value your feedback and use communication data to improve our responsiveness and the quality of our interactions.

Additionally, we may use aggregated and anonymized data for marketing analysis, to understand market trends, and to tailor our promotional efforts. Rest assured, this data does not identify you personally. We are committed to using analytics in a way that respects your privacy.
Disclosure of Your Information
Sharing with Third-Party Service Providers
To operate our business effectively and provide you with seamless services, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers. These providers assist us with various functions, including payment processing, website hosting, analytics, customer support, and marketing.
For instance, your payment details are processed by secure payment gateways, and your address may be shared with our cleaning teams for service delivery.

- Payment Processors: For secure transaction handling.

Legal Requirements and Business Transfers
We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency). This includes situations where we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
In the event that cleanservice is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information and ensure that your data continues to be protected under the terms of this Privacy Policy.
