Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Ideal Exit Ltd ("Ideal Exit", "we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data when you visit idealexit.co.uk (the "site") or get in touch with us. We are committed to handling your data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who we are
Ideal Exit Ltd is a company registered in England & Wales (company no. [company no. TBD]), with its registered office at [registered address TBD]. For any data-protection enquiry, contact us at hello@idealexit.co.uk.
For the purposes of UK data-protection law, Ideal Exit Ltd is the data controller in respect of the personal data described in this policy.
The data we collect
We collect personal data that you provide to us, and a limited amount of technical data when you use the site:
- Information you give us, such as your name, email address, phone number, business name and any details you include when you complete an enquiry form or contact us directly.
- Business information, where you engage us about a potential sale. This is information about your business (for example sector, turnover and financials) shared as part of that process.
- Technical and usage data, such as your IP address, browser type, device information and pages viewed, collected through cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
How and why we use your data (lawful basis)
We only use your personal data where the law allows. The lawful bases we rely on are:
- Consent, where you have agreed, for example to receive marketing communications or to non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract, to take steps at your request before entering into, and to perform, an engagement with you.
- Legitimate interests, to respond to your enquiries, run and improve our site, and contact you about services relevant to selling your business, where this does not override your rights.
- Legal obligation, to comply with our legal and regulatory duties, including anti-money-laundering and record-keeping requirements.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work and, with your consent, to understand how it is used. Full details, including the types of cookies we use and how to manage them, are set out in our Cookie Policy.
Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted third parties who help us operate, including hosting and IT providers, professional advisers (such as legal and accounting firms), and, only with your knowledge and where relevant to an engagement, prospective buyers under appropriate confidentiality arrangements. We may also disclose data where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Where data is transferred outside the UK, we put appropriate safeguards in place (such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision).
How long we keep it (retention)
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, including to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements. Enquiry data that does not lead to an engagement is typically held for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised; data relating to an engagement is retained for the period required by applicable law and regulation.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you (a "subject access request" or DSAR);
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request erasure of your data in certain circumstances;
- restrict or object to our processing of your data;
- request portability of data you provided to us;
- withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@idealexit.co.uk. We will respond within the time limits set by UK GDPR. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though we'd ask you to contact us first so we can try to put things right.
Keeping your data secure
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information at all times.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, with the "last updated" date revised accordingly.
