We also collect standard technical information when you visit our website, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and how long you spend on each page. This is collected to help us understand how visitors use the site and improve it.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Respond to your enquiry and provide the information or valuation you have requested
• Prepare a personalised assessment of your business
• Contact you about services that may be relevant to you
• Improve our website, service, and communications

We will never sell your information to third parties or use it for purposes you have not consented to.

4. Confidentiality

Information you share with us about your business is treated as strictly confidential. We do not discuss your business with anyone outside our team without your express permission. If we present your business to prospective buyers, we do so only after you have approved each step, and all parties sign non-disclosure agreements before receiving any identifying information.

5. Legal basis for processing

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, we rely on one of the following legal bases to process your personal information:

• Consent: where you have explicitly agreed to us processing your information
• Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests and does not override your rights
• Contract: where processing is necessary to perform a service you have requested
• Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with a legal requirement

6. How long we keep your information

We retain your information only for as long as is necessary to provide our services and meet our legal obligations. If you have asked not to be contacted again, we will keep a minimal record (your name and contact details) solely to ensure we honour that request.

7. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Ask us to delete your information
• Restrict or object to our processing
• Receive your information in a portable format
• Withdraw consent at any time where consent is the legal basis for processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at simon@facilitiesmanagementbusinessforsale.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection authority, at https://ico.org.uk.

8. Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies to ensure the site functions correctly. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

9. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against accidental loss, unauthorised access, or misuse. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, however, so while we do our best to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
