We use information to operate and protect the marketplace, verify members, present listings, and facilitate introductions. Restricted seller details and admin-only documents are not made public.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to Buy n Sell Businesses accounts, buyer and seller profiles, business listings, uploaded files, verification, communications, and marketplace support. Third-party sites linked from the platform have their own policies.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Name, email, phone number, password hash, country, state, city, and verification status.
- Buyer type, investment range, preferred industries and locations, and acquisition timeline.
- Seller details, business descriptions, locations, financial figures, asking prices, images, logos, decks, licences, and supporting documents.
- Enquiries, messages, support requests, and information shared during mediated introductions.
Information collected automatically
We may collect IP address, browser and device details, session identifiers, requested pages, timestamps, referral information, security events, and approximate region inferred from browser locale. We use locale or your selected preference for currency display; precise device location is not required.
3. How we use information
- Create accounts, authenticate users, maintain sessions, and provide profiles.
- Review, publish, search, rank, and display business listings.
- Verify contact methods, detect misuse, and protect marketplace members.
- Match buyers with opportunities and facilitate private introductions.
- Display estimated currency conversions while retaining the listing’s original currency.
- Provide support, improve the service, enforce our Terms, and comply with law.
Depending on applicable law, processing may rely on consent, contract performance, legitimate interests, or legal obligations.
5. International processing
The marketplace is global, so information may be processed outside your country. Where required, we use contractual, organisational, or other lawful safeguards for international transfers.
6. Retention and security
We retain information as needed to provide the service, keep transaction and audit records, comply with legal duties, resolve disputes, and prevent fraud. We use password hashing, access controls, restricted file storage, session protection, validation, and audit records. No online system is completely secure.
Do not upload unnecessary personal, banking, or identity information. Redact sensitive information unless our team specifically requests it through an approved process.
7. Your choices and rights
Subject to local law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection; withdraw consent; or complain to a relevant authority. We may verify your identity and may retain records where legally permitted or required.
9. Children
The service is for adults capable of entering business transactions and is not directed to anyone under 18.
10. Policy changes
We may update this Policy as the platform, law, or our practices change. The revised page will show its new effective date.
11. Contact us
Submit privacy questions or rights requests through the contact channel published on the Buy n Sell Businesses website. Include your account email and enough detail to identify the request. Never send passwords, verification codes, or unredacted financial documents by ordinary email.
