Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Next2Group Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects personal data when you visit our website or contact us. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

Next2Group Ltd is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us by post at 6 Marconi Gate, Staffordshire Technology Park, Stafford, ST18 0FZ, by phone on +44 330 133 2202, or by email at sales@next2it.co.uk.

What data we collect

• Contact details you provide: such as your name, email address, phone number and the organisation you represent when you complete one of our forms or get in touch with us.
• Enquiry content: the information you choose to share with us, including, for confidential business-sale enquiries, any details you volunteer about your company.
• Technical data: limited information collected automatically when you browse our site, such as your IP address, browser type and pages visited, used to keep the site secure and understand how it is used.

Confidential acquisition enquiries

Enquiries submitted through our sell-your-business form are treated as strictly confidential. They are delivered directly to the group's senior team, shared only with the people who need to see them, and never used for marketing. We are happy to enter into a non-disclosure agreement before you share anything sensitive.

How we use your data

• To respond to your enquiries and provide the information you request.
• To assess and progress conversations you start with us, including confidential acquisition enquiries.
• To operate, secure and improve our website.
• To meet our legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.

Lawful bases

We process personal data on the basis of your consent, steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract, our legitimate interests in running the group responsibly, and our need to comply with legal obligations.

Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, such as email and hosting providers, under appropriate contractual safeguards, with our professional advisers where an enquiry progresses, and with authorities where we are legally required to do so. Any providers located outside the UK are subject to appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

How long we keep it

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy, to satisfy legal and regulatory requirements, or to resolve disputes. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

Keeping your data secure

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. These are the same standards our group companies apply for their own clients.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Ask us to erase your data in certain circumstances.
• Object to or restrict our processing of your data.
• Request portability of your data where applicable.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at sales@next2it.co.uk. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority, at ico.org.uk.

Cookies

Our website uses only the cookies and similar technologies necessary to operate the site securely and understand how it is used. We do not use intrusive third-party advertising trackers.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “last updated” date.
