Information we may collect

The information we may collect includes:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your telephone number
• Information you submit through the website enquiry form
• Information about a business or proposed business sale that you choose to supply
• Correspondence with Transition 360 Partners Ltd
• Technical information generated through your use of the website, described below

The technical information this website generates is limited. The site uses privacy respecting analytics that record pages visited and general usage in aggregate. The analytics we use do not use cookies and do not collect information that directly identifies you. We do not ask for sensitive personal information through the enquiry form.

How we collect information

We collect information through:

• Information you supply directly through the website enquiry form
• Email or telephone correspondence with us
• Information you supply during subsequent discussions
• The website analytics described above

Why we use personal information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to enquiries
• Have requested discussions with prospective clients
• Assess whether and how Transition 360 Partners Ltd may be able to assist
• Provide requested services
• Manage client and prospective client relationships
• Maintain appropriate business and transaction records
• Operate, secure and improve the website
• Meet legal, regulatory and professional obligations

Making an enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing communications, and we do not add enquirers to marketing lists automatically.

Lawful basis

Under UK data protection law, we process personal information on the following bases, depending on the circumstances:

• Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract
• Performance of a contract with you
• Our legitimate interests in operating the business, responding to enquiries and maintaining appropriate records
• Compliance with legal obligations
• Consent, where it is specifically required

Confidentiality

Enquiries relating to a potential business sale or acquisition are treated in confidence. We do not share information that identifies you or your business without your authority.

Information may need to be shared where necessary to provide an agreed service, where you authorise it, or where the law requires it. For transaction-specific work, sharing with buyers, funders, lawyers or other advisers is subject to appropriate confidentiality and authority considerations. Information from an initial website enquiry is not automatically sent to potential buyers.

Who information may be shared with

Depending on the circumstances, information may be shared with:

• Website hosting and technology providers who operate this website
• Professional advisers
• Service providers supporting the business
• Authorities where the law requires it

We only share what is necessary, and we expect those we work with to protect your information.

Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to meet legal, contractual, regulatory and record keeping requirements.

Website enquiries that do not become a client relationship are kept for 24 months from the last meaningful contact, after which the information is deleted unless there is a legitimate legal, regulatory or business reason to retain it. Where an enquiry becomes a client relationship, the information may instead form part of the relevant client and transaction records and be retained in accordance with the applicable retention requirements.

Data security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. No internet system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot make that promise, but we take the protection of your information seriously.

International data transfers

This website is hosted and its enquiry data is processed by our website platform provider, whose infrastructure may involve processing outside the UK. Where personal information is processed outside the UK, we expect appropriate safeguards to be in place in line with UK data protection law.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, and depending on the circumstances, you have rights relating to:

• Access to your personal information
• Correction of inaccurate information
• Erasure of your information
• Restriction of how it is used
• Objection to certain uses
• Data portability
• Withdrawal of consent, where processing relies on consent

These rights depend on the circumstances and are not all absolute. To exercise any of them, contact Gavin Page at gavin@transition360partners.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
