Privacy policy

Who we are

Salvy (salvy.co.uk) publishes a daily email digest of UK corporate insolvency notices analysed for acquisition interest. For privacy questions, contact us at hello@salvy.co.uk.

What we collect

When you subscribe, create an account, or send an enquiry, we may store:

• Email address, to send the daily digest
• Name, optional, used only to personalise emails
• Signup date, when you joined the list
• Unsubscribe token, a random link so you can leave the list
• Account and sign-in records, including one-time token hashes, request times, and a hashed network address used to prevent sign-in abuse
• Buyer bookings and enquiries, including the sectors, regions, budget, timeframe, and requirements supplied through Calendly or our website form
• Seller bookings and enquiries, including the business, region, financial ranges, timeframe, and objectives supplied through Calendly or our website form
• Historical buying and selling activity, including membership status, acquisition briefs, valuations, listings, introductions, and payment status

Card details are handled by Stripe and are not stored by Salvy. The digest itself uses public data from The Gazette and Companies House, not your personal information.

Why we use it

We process your details to send the newsletter you asked for, authenticate your account, schedule and prepare for consultations, review website enquiries, prepare quotes, contact you about the requested service, prevent abuse, and fulfil existing payments. Newsletter processing is based on consent. Enquiry, account, and service processing is necessary to respond to your request and for our legitimate interests in operating and securing Salvy.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of service providers to run Salvy:

• Render, hosts the website and stores subscriber records
• SendGrid, delivers emails to your inbox
• Stripe, handles payments and billing for existing paid services
• Calendly, schedules buyer and seller consultation calls and collects booking answers
• Google Meet, hosts booked video calls

We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or pass it to data brokers. Subscriber emails are not sent to our AI analysis provider, only public notice data is analysed.

How long we keep it

We keep newsletter details while you remain subscribed and account records while your account or a paid service is active. Booking details and website enquiries are kept while we respond and for a reasonable period afterwards to manage follow-up and business records. Used and expired sign-in tokens are retained for a limited period for security. Transaction and historical listing records may be retained where needed for legal, accounting, fraud prevention, or dispute purposes. If you unsubscribe, we retain a minimal record to honour that request.
