Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referral source and how you interact with the Site. See section 8 (Cookies) for details.
3. How we share your information: referral to Prime Property Auctions
This is the most important part of this policy, so please read it carefully.
When you submit an enquiry through this Site, your details (name, property address, phone number and email address) are passed to our partner:
Prime Property Auctions (Scotland) Ltd
Company number SC738026
Registered office: 2000 Gower Street, First Floor, Glasgow, G51 1PR
Website: primepropertyauctions.co.uk
Prime Property Auctions (Scotland) Ltd will use your details to contact you about the sale of your property and to provide you with information, a valuation or an offer relating to selling your property, including sale by auction. Once your details have been passed to them, Prime Property Auctions (Scotland) Ltd acts as a data controller in its own right and will process your information in accordance with its own privacy policy, which is available on its website.
We may receive a referral fee or commission from Prime Property Auctions (Scotland) Ltd if you go on to use their services. This does not affect the price you receive for your property or any fees you pay.
If you do not want your details to be passed to Prime Property Auctions (Scotland) Ltd, please do not submit the enquiry form. You can also ask us at any time to stop sharing your details by contacting us at info@sellmyhousefastinscotland.com.
4. How we use your information
We use your personal information to:
- Respond to your enquiry and arrange for you to receive information or an offer relating to the sale of your property

5. Our lawful bases
Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), we rely on the following lawful bases:
- Taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract: handling your enquiry and arranging for an offer or valuation on your property, including passing your details to Prime Property Auctions (Scotland) Ltd so that they can contact you as requested.
- Legitimate interests: operating and improving the Site, preventing spam and fraud, keeping business records of enquiries and referrals, and receiving referral fees for introductions. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced these against your rights and interests.
- Consent: for non-essential cookies and similar technologies (see section 8), and for any marketing communications beyond responding to your enquiry. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legal obligation: where we need to keep records or share information to comply with the law.
6. Other recipients of your information
In addition to Prime Property Auctions (Scotland) Ltd, we share information with service providers who help us run the Site and our business, including:
- Website hosting and maintenance providers
- Google (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA and Google Maps), which help us measure Site usage, prevent spam and display maps
- Email and communication providers
These providers act on our instructions and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes, except where they act as independent controllers (for example, Google in respect of certain analytics and advertising data as described in its own privacy policy).
We may also disclose information where required by law, or in connection with a sale or reorganisation of our business. We do not sell your personal information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing.
7. International transfers
Some of our service providers (for example, Google) may process information outside the United Kingdom, including in the United States. Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, so that your information receives an equivalent level of protection.
