Third Party Service providers working on our behalf – We can pass your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf, for example a mailing house who post auction brochures on our behalf. However when we use third party providers we disclose only the information that is necessary to complete the task and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own marketing purposes.

When you pay your deposit, it is processed by a third party payment processor who specialises in the secure online capture and processing of credit/debit cards. If you have any questions regarding secure transactions please contact us.

We shall transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use or to protect the rights, property or safety of our customers.

Transferring your information outside of Europe

Our computer systems are currently based in the United Kingdom, so your personal data will be processed by us in the UK where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world.
