For a better understanding of the words used in this privacy notice, kindly consult the glossary as well.
1. Important information and who we are
The goal of this privacy notice
The term “Data Protection Legislation” in this privacy notice refers to the Data Protection Act 1998 up to and excluding May 25, 2018, and then the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) and any national implementing laws, regulations, and secondary legislation in the UK, as amended or updated from time to time, and (ii) any successor legislation towards the General Data Protection Regulation.
This privacy notice is intended to inform you of how sellURbiz will gather and use the personal data you voluntarily submit through the web portal when you register to buy, sell, or franchise a business or franchise, receive information about potential buyers or sellers, or use any other service offered through the sellURbiz web portal.
Please be aware that we do not deliberately gather data about minors and that this website is not designed for children.
To completely understand how and why we are using your data, you should read this privacy notice in conjunction with any additional privacy notices or fair processing notices that we may publish on particular occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you.
sellURbiz’s registered office is located at 5 Yeomans Way, Bournemouth BH8 0BL.
The privacy of every individual for whom sellURbiz has personal data [“data”] is respected. We abide by data protection laws including the Data Protection Act of 1998 and the General Data Protection Regulation, which govern how data is handled and guarantee that only the minimal amount of data is retained and that it is treated fairly and legally.
The information we may gather about you and the potential uses for it are outlined in this policy. We gather information to fulfill requests from you, provide services that are more likely to suit your requirements, enhance the services we already offer to you, and sell advertising space that enables us to deliver many services without charge. You may request access, deletion, correction, limitation, transfer, and withdrawal of permission (where appropriate) as well as file a complaint by following the instructions in the policy.
Each of the companies in our group has various methods of gathering and using information about you. If one of those companies does use data in a manner not covered by this policy, it will post its policy on its website. We reserve the right to amend both the company and group-level privacy policies at any time and without prior notice, so please check back often to stay informed of any changes. The terms and conditions listed on each company’s website apply to this privacy statement.
1. What data do we gather and how is it gathered?
Only with your consent or for legitimate business purposes, such as handling event registrations or providing you with services, do we gather personal information about you. We will only gather the bare minimum of data required to carry out these tasks.
Name, job title, employer information, home zip code, email address, birthday, phone number, gender, shopping preferences and history, the material you publish on our websites, content you read on our websites, and various other data may be collected by us. This information may be gathered in a variety of ways, including when you place an order for a service or product, use one of our websites (or a third-party website, such as to pay for a subscription), post content to one of our websites, subscribe to a newsletter or other email list, complete a survey, questionnaire, or enter a competition, or when you contact us by email, phone, or other means.
We will keep track of the financial transaction data when you pay us, but we do not immediately retain your debit or credit card information. We accept online payments via our websites, but a third-party payment processor handles the processing securely; we only save the last four digits of your credit card information.
We may keep track of your IP address, registration information, and browsing history, including the pages you have viewed on our websites if you use our service. Apart from the IP address used to visit our website, the IP address contains no additional information about you. If you subscribe to a newsletter, we could keep track of your actions, such as whether you open the email, click on one of its links, or visit any particular sites.
We maintain personal information about workers as required for hiring, paying, offering benefits, and other legal requirements.
Other than with the explicit agreement of the individual(s), which may be withheld at any time, we do not disclose personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
2. Cookies
Cookies are used by us to track site activity. Cookies are written to a user’s hard disk, but they don’t save any personal information about them; instead, they only keep track of the websites they’ve visited and the things they’ve done there. While some cookies disappear when your browser is closed, others are stored on your computer’s hard disk. They are often used on several websites. They are used to determine the number of distinct visitors to a website, to improve subsequent web visits (store preferences, user names, and passwords so you don’t need to reinput every time you visit), and to improve the user experience for you by, among other things, providing content based on your preferences. We use them on an aggregated information basis and also to assess your areas of interest.
Most browsers provide you the option to manage or block cookies if you so want. Typically, you may find these browser controls in the “options” or “preferences” menu in your toolbar. Most browsers will include instructions on how to manage or stop cookies in the “help” section of the toolbar. Please take note that if all cookies are refused, we won’t be able to match site content to your preferences based on prior visits, and you won’t be able to use all of the website’s features. Visit aboutcookies.org or the Information Commissioner’s website on cookies at ico.org.uk/for-the-public/online/cookies/ for further information about cookies.
3. The legal basis for the data processing
Various legal basis is employed, depending on why your data is being processed.
When information is submitted in connection with a contract for the purchase of a product or service from you, we process your data to carry out the terms of the agreement.
We handle your data with your permission when you join up for a newsletter, event, or magazine subscription.
Any additional processing, such as data sharing with third parties and marketing to you on their behalf, is done with your consent or out of legitimate interest because we provide you with valuable information in exchange for your information, including personal data, and our relationship is otherwise in your best interests. You have the option to refuse to have this reason for processing be used.
We only preserve data as long as it’s required to comply with the law, whether you pay us or we pay you.
4. Use of personal information
Personal data will only be used by us for specified purposes. If we ever decide to use it for anything else, we will first seek your permission by contacting you. We use data to communicate with you, provide the services you have requested or that may be of interest to you (subject to your right to opt-out; information on how to exercise this right can be found on each business website), renew a subscription, enhance our service, confirm your identity when taking payments, or comply with legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements.
Profiling: On occasion, we may target the communications we send you by using some of the information you provide. For instance, we can use your location to offer you information about a local event, or we might utilize the sort of business you work for or your job title to bring you a timely news item. We do not utilize this data to automate decision-making.
5. How long will we retain your data?
Data is not stored for any longer than is necessary to fulfill the processing objectives or to comply with the law. There isn’t a single retention term for all data since we gather data for a variety of objectives. Instead, we carefully consider how long to keep data to fulfill our legal duties as well as the processing goal. Data is safely deleted from our systems when it is no longer needed for processing reasons.
6. Confidentiality and security
To prevent identity theft, abuse, and unintentional data loss, sellURbiz employs commercially reasonable physical, technological, and administrative safeguards. These safeguards also help to maintain the privacy of the data. Although we make every effort to safeguard personal information, security cannot be guaranteed. Everyone who has access to your data, including our employees and data processors (third parties that handle data on our behalf), is obligated to keep it private and secret and to use it only for the tasks we have contracted them to do.
7. Data sharing with other parties
For things like website hosting, website upkeep, email alerts, subscription fulfillment, and payment processing, we could work with other suppliers. To provide these services, we exchange information with these third parties. To sell advertising to third parties, we may gather broad statistical data that is aggregated but does not directly identify you. This enables us to provide material without charging. When necessary to comply with the law or to enforce our terms of service, we may also disclose information to public or regulatory agencies. We make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that your data is protected and kept private by any third parties, that it is deleted once it is no longer required for the intended purpose, that their data privacy policies safeguard your data, and that they only process your data by our instructions. We do not sell or rent your personal information, but if we merge, sell, or reorganize all or part of the group, we may transfer, sell, or assign your data to a third party outside of our group. Your data will only be transferred outside of the European Union where safeguards are in place to protect your rights and when it will be kept secure. Your data will be handled fairly, legally, and securely in the UK.
8. Withdrawal of consent
If you change your mind after giving your permission, please contact us through email (details are available on the company website) or click here, and we’ll delete your information from our systems.
9. Liability limitations
Linking to other websites from our websites. The privacy practices of such websites are not sellURbiz’ responsibility, and neither does it have or accept any obligation for the information included on them.
10. Contact information and legal information
You have the right to access, rectify, and delete the data we maintain about you. You also have the right to ask us to limit the processing we perform, to object to it, and request that we transfer your data to a different party. Please email [email protected] if you desire to do any of these things or have any inquiries about how we use your data or wish to file a complaint about any privacy problems.
Requests shall be handled and answered as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 30 days. You have the right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority if you are unhappy with how your request was handled. Information on how to do so is provided below.
