Your Trust Is Our Protocol: The freshigo Privacy Standard

We collect only the essential data required to deliver pristine cleaning services in Medellín and the Aburrá Valley. This policy outlines exactly what we see, why we need it, and how we protect it with bank-grade security measures.

No selling. No sharing for marketing. No hidden tracking. Just the operational clarity required to enter your home or office with confidence and precision.

Key Terms, Plainly Spoken

We avoid legal jargon. Here’s what we mean when we use specific terms in this policy.

Personal Data

Any information that identifies you directly: your name, phone number, email, or home address for service delivery.

Service Data

Notes about your property (e.g., "apartment 903, Soho Building"). We keep this to ensure the right team arrives with the right equipment.

Processing

The act of storing, organizing, and accessing your data to schedule a clean or respond to a support request. It is strictly operational.

Consent

Your clear, affirmative action (like submitting a booking form). We never assume consent; we ask for it explicitly.

Third Party

External services we use for payments (e.g., Bancolombia/PayU) or mapping (Google Maps). We vet their privacy standards rigorously.

What We Collect & Why

1. Identity & Contact

What: Full name, mobile number, email address, and specific service address (Calle, number, floor, building instructions).

Why: To identify you as a client, contact the team on the day of service, and ensure our cleaners can access the property safely. Without this, we cannot dispatch a crew.

2. Financial & Billing

What: Billing details required for payment processing. Note: We do not store your credit card numbers or CVV codes on our servers. Payments are handled by certified payment gateways.

Why: To generate valid invoices (Factura Electrónica) for your records and comply with Colombian tax law (DIAN).

3. Service Feedback

What: Post-cleaning ratings, notes about specific rooms or challenges (e.g., "pet in the house," "allergy concerns").

Why: To improve quality control and personalize future visits. We may anonymize this data to train our team on best practices.

We Do NOT Collect

  • • Biometric data (fingerprints, facial recognition)
  • • Precise location tracking (GPS) when not in service
  • • Sensitive personal documents (IDs, passports)
  • • Personal communications outside booking context

Security Warning

If you accidentally share sensitive info via our contact form, contact us immediately at [email protected] for deletion.

Questions Property Managers & Homeowners Should Ask

Before trusting any service provider with access to your property, verify their data handling standards. These are the questions we answer for ourselves.

Where is my data physically stored?

On secure servers within Colombia. We do not use offshore data centers that fall under different jurisdictions.

Who has access to my apartment details?

Only the dispatched cleaning crew lead and our central scheduling manager. The access code is deleted 24 hours post-service.

Is my payment data secure?

We use PCI-DSS compliant gateways (PayU/Bancolombia). We only store a transaction ID, not your card numbers.

Can I delete my history?

Yes. Email us with "Delete My Data" in the subject. We will wipe your account within 48 hours, barring tax retention laws.

Do you sell data to advertisers?

Never. We are a service company, not a data broker. Your info stays internal.

What happens in a breach?

Immediate notification to affected users within 72 hours, as mandated by Colombian law (Habeas Data).

Operational Realities & Common Pitfalls

Constraint

Elevator Access in Older Buildings

Many buildings in Laureles or El Poblado restrict service elevator hours. We must store your specific building access rules (e.g., "No service elevator after 5 PM") to avoid fines or denied entry.

Implication: We keep this note longer than your address to ensure smooth future bookings.

Pitfall

The "Back Door" Entry Request

Occasionally, clients request entry via a secondary door for convenience. We document this, but we also require explicit confirmation if the entry point changes, to prevent security breaches.

Risk: Unauthorized entry if communication is compromised. We strictly validate all entry instructions on the morning of service.

Third-Party Vetting Protocol

We do not blindly trust software vendors. Every tool used to handle your data—from our booking form to our accounting software—undergoes a privacy audit. We look for three things:

1. Data Residency Must host servers in Latin America or offer explicit guarantees.
2. Encryption At rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3).
3. Access Logs We must be able to audit who accessed what and when.
