How we handle personal data
Last updated: 5 November 2026
This website
This website uses no cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking of any kind, loads nothing from third parties, and has no forms. If you email us, we use your message only to reply and to handle your enquiry. The site is hosted by Netlify, which processes standard technical information (such as IP addresses) to deliver and secure it.
1. Who we are
Selwick Partners is the trading name of Eran Shemesh, a sole trader registered in Israel. Eran Shemesh is the controller of your personal data. Email: enquiries@selwickpartners.co.uk. We are not established in the United Kingdom and have no UK office.
2. What we do
We introduce owners of commercial and mixed-use buildings in London and the South East, and owners of care-home businesses in England, to potential buyers, and buyers to off-market opportunities. We contact companies, not consumers.
3. Whose data we process
- Directors, officers and named staff of UK companies and LLPs that may own property or a care-home business.
- People who reply to us, book a call, or become clients or counterparties.
- People who contact us through the email address on this website.
We do not knowingly email sole traders or ordinary partnerships.
4. What data we hold and where it comes from
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Identity and role | Name, job title, directorships | Companies House public register; your company’s website |
| Published officer details | Month and year of birth, nationality, appointment dates, correspondence address as published | Companies House public register |
| Business contact details | Work email address, work phone | A commercial business-contact database; your company’s website |
| Company information (generally not personal data) | Company status, filings, accounts, charges, properties owned | Companies House; publicly available property ownership information |
| Correspondence | Your replies, call notes, preferences, opt-outs | You |
| Care homes only | Registered manager and nominated individual names, ratings | Care Quality Commission public register (Open Government Licence) |
| Client due diligence (clients and counterparties only) | Identity documents, ownership and control, source of funds | You, public registers and identity-verification providers, as required by the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 |
Email addresses are checked for deliverability through a verification service before we send.
5. Why we use it and our lawful basis
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Identifying companies that may wish to sell, buy or discuss property or a care-home business, and sending a small number of business emails | Legitimate interests (UK GDPR Art 6(1)(f)); direct marketing is a recognised example (Art 6(11)). Our assessment is available on request. |
| Prioritisation (see section 6) | Legitimate interests |
| Handling replies, calls and introductions | Legitimate interests; steps before entering a contract (Art 6(1)(b)) |
| Performing our engagement terms with clients | Contract (Art 6(1)(b)) |
| Anti-money laundering checks and record keeping | Legal obligation (Art 6(1)(c)), once we are supervised under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 |
| Keeping a suppression list so we never contact you again after you opt out | Legitimate interests, and compliance with PECR and Art 21 |
Electronic marketing to companies and LLPs is permitted without prior consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (regulation 22 applies only to individual subscribers). We always identify ourselves and include a way to opt out.
6. Prioritisation
We use information published on Companies House about companies and their officers (for example company age, filing history, registered charges, length of ownership and officers’ published year of birth) to decide which companies to contact first. This only affects whether and when we send a business email. We make no decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you, and we never refer to these factors in our messages.
7. Who we share it with
- Service providers acting on our instructions: email hosting and sending platforms, email verification, spreadsheet and code hosting, website hosting, AI-assisted drafting tools and, for clients only, identity-verification providers.
- The counterparty to a proposed transaction, only with your agreement.
- Professional advisers, HM Revenue & Customs, the National Crime Agency, courts or regulators where the law requires.
We do not sell or rent personal data.
8. International transfers
We operate from Israel, which the UK recognises as providing an adequate level of protection. Some of our providers are in the United States; where a provider is certified under the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework we rely on that, and otherwise on the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or Agreement.
9. How long we keep it
- Prospects who do not reply: up to 24 months after our last contact, then deleted.
- Opt-outs, bounces and complaints: the email address and domain are kept on a suppression list indefinitely, solely so we never contact them again.
- Clients and counterparties: for the engagement plus 6 years; anti-money laundering records for 5 years after the business relationship or transaction ends.
10. Your rights
You may ask for access, correction, erasure or restriction, and you may object at any time. Your right to object to direct marketing is absolute: reply “unsubscribe” to any email, or write to enquiries@selwickpartners.co.uk, and we will stop. We reply within one month.
11. Complaints
Please complain to us first at enquiries@selwickpartners.co.uk; we acknowledge complaints within 30 days. You may also complain to the UK regulator, the Information Commission (formerly the Information Commissioner’s Office), at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
12. Changes
We will post any updates on this page.
