Contract

We use personal information where necessary to provide an account, listing, free trial or paid subscription, or to take requested steps before providing those services.

​

Legitimate interests

We may use information where reasonably necessary to operate and improve the marketplace, respond to enquiries, maintain security, prevent misuse and promote our services.

When relying on legitimate interests, we consider whether our interests are proportionate and whether they unfairly affect your rights.

You can withdraw your consent at any time.

​

Legal obligation

We may process or retain information where necessary to comply with tax, accounting, regulatory or other legal requirements.

  • a public-facing contact name;

  • telephone numbers and email addresses;

  • an address or service area;

  • website and social media links;

  • photographs, logos and descriptions; and

Listing owners can manage their listings through their account area. Removing information from Cattlebarn Business Market does not guarantee its immediate removal from search-engine caches or third-party copies.

Do not include private residential addresses, personal contact details or information about another person unless it is appropriate for publication and you have their permission.

7. Wix Studio and other service providers

Our website is hosted and operated through Wix Studio. Wix may process website, account, subscription, payment, security and technical information on our behalf or for its own stated purposes.

We may also use service providers including:

  • website hosting and technical support providers;

  • payment processors;

  • email and communication providers;

  • data storage and security services;

  • accountants and professional advisers;

  • analytics and advertising providers; and

  • Google and Meta services, where enabled.

These organisations will only receive information reasonably necessary for their role and must handle it in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

8. Google services

We may use the following Google services:

​

Google Analytics

Google Analytics helps us understand how people find and use the website. It may collect information about visits, devices, approximate location, traffic sources and interactions.

Google Analytics will only be activated in accordance with your cookie choices and applicable law.

​

Google Search Console

Google Search Console provides information about how the website appears in Google Search, such as search queries, impressions, clicks and indexing issues. Its reports are generally aggregated and do not identify individual visitors to us.

​

Google Ads

If Google Ads or conversion tracking is enabled, Google may use cookies or similar technology to measure actions taken after someone sees or clicks an advertisement. Advertising features will be controlled through our cookie consent settings where required.

You can read more in Google’s Privacy Policy.

9. Facebook, Instagram and Meta

The website may include links to, content from or connections with Facebook and Instagram.

If you use Facebook to create or access your website account, relevant account authentication information may be shared between Meta, Wix and Cattlebarn Business Market.

If Meta advertising tools, such as the Meta Pixel, are enabled in future, they may collect information about visits and website actions to measure advertising performance or support relevant advertising. These tools will only be activated in accordance with your cookie choices and applicable law.

Simply following a link to Facebook or Instagram means your use of that platform is governed by Meta’s own terms and privacy policy.

You can read Meta’s Privacy Policy.

10. Marketing communications

We may send service communications necessary to operate an account, listing, trial or subscription. These can include:

  • account and security emails;

  • listing confirmations;

  • trial-ending reminders;

  • payment receipts;

  • renewal and failed-payment notices; and

  • important changes to the service or applicable terms.

These are not general marketing messages and may still be sent while an account or subscription is active.

We will only send optional email marketing where we have an appropriate lawful basis. You can unsubscribe using the link in an email or by contacting us.

Unsubscribing from marketing will not stop necessary account or subscription messages.

11. Sharing personal information

We may share information with:

  • Wix and relevant Wix service providers;

  • payment providers;

  • Google, Meta or analytics and advertising providers where enabled;

  • suppliers helping us host, secure or maintain the website;

  • professional advisers, insurers or accountants;

  • courts, regulators or law-enforcement bodies where legally required; and

  • a buyer or successor if the marketplace or its operating business is sold or reorganised.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

12. International data transfers

Wix, Google, Meta and other providers may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will rely on an applicable safeguard or lawful transfer mechanism, such as an adequacy regulation, approved contractual protections or another mechanism permitted by UK data protection law.

Further information about a provider’s international processing is available in its own privacy documentation.

13. How long we keep information

We aim to keep the website available and operating correctly, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.

The website may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, updates, hosting problems, security issues or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

We do not guarantee that the website will always be free from viruses, bugs or other harmful components.

You are responsible for using appropriate security and antivirus protection on your device.

We may update, change, suspend or withdraw parts of the website where reasonably necessary.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary. Retention periods may include:

  • Active account information: while the account remains active;

  • Listings: while published and for a reasonable period following removal;

  • Subscription and financial records: normally six years after the relevant financial period or transaction;

  • Enquiries and complaints: normally up to three years after resolution;

  • Consent records: for as long as needed to demonstrate the choices made;

  • Marketing information: until consent is withdrawn or the information is no longer required; and

  • Security and technical records: for a limited period appropriate to their purpose.

We may keep information longer where required by law, needed to establish or defend legal claims, or necessary to address fraud, misuse or an unresolved complaint.

14. Information security

We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, alteration or misuse.

However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed as completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and should contact us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

15. Children’s information

The website is intended primarily for adults looking for local information or submitting listings.

People creating accounts, purchasing subscriptions or submitting listings must be at least 18 years old.

Information about children must not be submitted for public display without appropriate authority and careful consideration of their privacy and safety.

Event and group organisers should avoid including children’s names, personal contact details or identifiable information unless there is a clear lawful and safeguarding reason.

16. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

  • request access to your personal information;

  • ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • ask us to delete information;

  • ask us to restrict how information is used;

  • object to certain processing;

  • receive certain information in a portable format;

  • withdraw consent at any time; and

  • complain about how your information has been handled.

These rights are not absolute and may depend on the reason we hold the information.
