I am Luis Rodrigues trading as "Aqua Shine" and am classified as a Data Controller.  If you have any questions about my use of your personal data please contact me in whatever way is most convenient for you; please see contact details below.

Your name, address, telephone number and email address. I will normally acquire this information directly from you but if I obtained that information from somebody else I will normally inform you and ask you to confirm the details are correct.

Sharing your personal data

Subject to applicable data protection laws I may share your personal data with:

• Sub contractors, service providers  and other persons, businesses or organisations who help me provide my services,  payment and collection services, email, web-hosting and data back-up services; some of which service providers may transfer your personal data to others for regulatory, compliance and governance purposes, and may entail sending your data overseas.

• Anyone else where I have your consent or am required to do so by law.

International transfers

Your personal data may be transferred outside the U.K. and European Economic Area. While some countries have adequate protections for personal data under their applicable laws, in other countries it will be necessary to take additional steps to provide appropriate safeguards. I will always use my best endeavours to secure your personal information, which may include imposing contractual obligations or requiring the recipient to subscribe to, or be certified with, an appropriate international framework of protection.
