CONTRACTUAL INFORMATION
Privacy policy
Data collected
The website collects the information required to handle contact requests and bookings: identity, contact details, vehicle information, service address, appointment time, notes and payment-related data.
Purposes and legal bases
The data is used to respond to requests, fulfil bookings, manage payments, prevent abuse and comply with legal obligations. Depending on the processing involved, the legal basis may be performance of a contract, pre-contractual measures, the legitimate interest in securing the service, or a legal obligation.
Recipients
The data is accessible to Albert Wash and, only where necessary, to its technical providers for messaging, calendar, hosting and payment services. The data is not sold.
Retention period
Data is retained for the time required to manage the relationship, comply with accounting obligations and protect legal rights. Security-related data may be kept for a limited period in order to prevent abuse.
Your rights
You may request access to, rectification or erasure of your data, restriction of processing, and exercise any other applicable rights by writing to info@albertwash.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL).
Cookies and third-party services
The website uses only the technical elements required for its operation and security, subject to the services actually enabled. Any audience measurement or non-essential functionality requiring consent must be disclosed and disabled until consent has been obtained.
Albert Wash internal application: Google user data
Updated: 24 October 2026. This section also covers the private Albert Wash management application built with n8n. Albert Wash operates it for its own business; the operator’s identity is available in our legal notice. It is not a public Google account connection service. Booking a car cleaning service does not authorise access to the customer’s Google account.
Data accessed and purposes
- Gmail: relevant messages and thread context, sender and recipient details, subjects, message content and attachment metadata, drafts and labels, to handle requests, prepare or send replies, track business conversations and avoid duplicate contact. Authorised automations can send replies and update labels; messages requiring review are kept as drafts.
- Google Calendar: appointment details and availability, to synchronise bookings and busy times and create, update or remove the associated appointment events.
- Google Sheets and Drive: business tracking records and spreadsheet identifiers and metadata used by the authorised connectors, to read and update prospect, interaction and task records. The scope granted to a connector can be broader than an individual operation; this does not authorise unrelated use of other files.
- Google Search Console: authorised website properties and search performance metrics: dates, pages, search queries, countries, devices, clicks, impressions, click-through rate and average position. These are used for the private SEO dashboard and to prepare editorial work. This connection is read-only and does not publish articles.
Access, storage and service providers
Only authorised Albert Wash operators may use these internal tools. Google data and derived business records may be stored in the connected Google services, private application databases, restricted-access files and operational backups. n8n credentials are encrypted in its credential store. Application access is restricted and remote exchanges use HTTPS.
Technical processing uses Google services, n8n hosted on our Oracle Cloud server, and Hostinger for the Albert Wash website. Calendar synchronisation can also involve Zoho. For assisted correspondence, message content and business context may be sent to Google Gemini to classify a request, draft a response or check a proposed response, under the Gemini API terms. This assistance does not itself confirm a booking or publish a blog article.
Permitted use and human access
Google data is used to provide the functions described above. Selling it, using it for advertising targeting or credit scoring, and using it to train a general-purpose AI model for Albert Wash are not authorised uses. Any transfer must be necessary to provide these functions, protect security or comply with the law. Human access is limited to authorised operational use, user-authorised assistance, security investigations and legal obligations. The Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements where applicable, governs use and transfer of this data.
Retention, deletion and revoking access
Operational copies are kept for as long as needed to handle the relevant requests, maintain business records, protect the service and meet legal obligations. Backup copies follow the applicable backup retention arrangements. Retention depends on the type of record; there is no single automatic deletion period for all data. Removing the connection stops future access but does not automatically erase existing exports, business records or data stored in Google.
The Google account owner can revoke the application’s permission at any time in Google Account connections. Connected features may then stop working. To request access to, correction or deletion of operational copies, or to obtain retention information for a specific record, contact albertwash06@gmail.com or the privacy contact above. Requests are handled subject to identity verification and applicable retention obligations. Data held directly by Google remains subject to the account owner’s Google settings and Google’s policies.
