Privacy Policy
Who we are
We’re Local Business Listing, a UK-based platform where people can list their businesses for sale and connect with potential buyers. We provide a place for business matchmaking (minus the cheesy love songs), ensuring that only genuine listings get through our very strict due diligence process. However, we are not directly facilitating transactions (yet!). Think of us as your friendly local classifieds, but with a serious commitment to transparency.
Information We Collect
Suggested text: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comment form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
When you use our platform, we collect a few bits and bobs to help keep things running smoothly:
- Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, and any other details you pop into your business listing or enquiry forms.
- Business Information: Details about the business you’re listing — such as business name, location, description, financials, and other exciting stats buyers love.
- Technical Information: IP address, browser type, device info, and cookies (the digital kind, sadly not the chocolate chip ones).
- Communication Records: Emails, messages, and chats you send via our platform.
How We Use Your Information
We only use your information for good — no sneaky business here:
- To list your business and showcase it to potential buyers.
- To help you find the right match for buying or selling a business.
- To keep the platform running, improve our services, and make things a tad more fabulous.
- To communicate with you about your listing, enquiries, or general platform updates.
- To prevent fraud and maintain the integrity of our listings.
We do not sell your information. Not today, not ever.
Sharing Your Information
Sometimes, we need to share your information, but only when it’s absolutely necessary:
- With buyers/sellers: So you can actually buy or sell a business (that’s kind of the point, isn’t it?).
- With service providers: Such as web hosting and email services who help us run the platform.
- When legally required: If the law says jump, we do ask “how high?” — but only when truly necessary.
Rest assured; we vet our service providers harder than a bouncer at an exclusive London club.
Cookies
We use cookies to make your experience better — think smoother navigation, personalised suggestions, and fewer repetitive tasks. You can manage your cookie preferences anytime. (Sadly, still no chocolate chips involved.)
Security
We take security seriously. We use encryption, secure servers, and all the best tech wizardry to keep your information safe. However, as you’ll know, no online platform is 100% foolproof — so always stay savvy and protect your own information too.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we’ll shout about it — or at least give you a polite heads-up. Keep checking back every now and then to stay in the loop.
