Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

SellSide Partners (“we”, “us” or “our”) is an independent business broking and M&A advisory firm based in the United Kingdom. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal data when you visit sellside.co.uk or contact us through the “Discuss Your Business” enquiry form.

We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

When you submit an enquiry, we collect the information you provide directly to us. This may include:

• Full name
• Company name
• Email address and telephone number
• Sector and approximate financial figures (annual revenue and EBITDA)
• Transaction objective and any details shared in your message

We may also collect limited technical data automatically, such as your IP address and browser type, through standard server logs.

3. How we use your data

We process the personal data you submit for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiry and assess whether we can assist you
• To prepare for and conduct preliminary discussions about a potential transaction
• To maintain records of our communications for legal and regulatory purposes
• To improve our website and services

We rely on your consent and our legitimate interests in operating an advisory business as the lawful basis for processing this data.

4. Sharing your data

We treat all enquiries in confidence. We do not sell your personal data. We will only share your information with third parties where it is necessary to respond to your enquiry (for example, with a prospective buyer or adviser) and only with your prior consent, or where we are legally required to do so.

5. Data storage and security

Enquiry data is stored securely using our hosted infrastructure. Access is restricted to authorised personnel and protected by access controls. We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard your data, although no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.

6. Retention

We retain enquiry data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, and in line with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. If you ask us to delete your data, we will remove it where we are not legally required to retain it.

7. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to request data portability. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
