Privacy notice

Version of 4 October 2026.

Who is responsible

Preale Ltd (company number 13594079, registered in England and Wales) runs Praetor and is the controller of the personal data described here. To ask anything about it, or to use your rights, write to us through your Praetor contact.

If you are named in a public record

Praetor shows professional buyers of commercial property who may decide its sale and how to reach them. To do so it uses information that public bodies publish, in a business capacity only:

company directors and people with significant control: name, role, appointment dates and the service address given to Companies House;
insolvency practitioners, receivers and supervisors: name, firm, office address, and any telephone number or email address printed in their notices in The Gazette;
addresses for service given to HM Land Registry for a property;
contact details a company publishes on its own website;
in Spain, insolvency administrators named in court notices in the Boletín Oficial del Estado.

We rely on legitimate interests: ours and our clients’ interest in approaching the people who can agree the sale of commercial property. We only use details published by public bodies or by the business itself, show each with its source, never guess or infer contact details, and never use the residential addresses Companies House keeps private. Letters drafted on Praetor to a person found on a register say where their details came from and how to object.

You can object at any time, and we will stop showing your details on Praetor unless we have a compelling reason not to. To object, write to us through your Praetor contact with your name and the company or notice concerned.

If you are a client

Your account: email address, company name, password (stored by our authentication provider, never seen by us) and the terms you accepted.
What you do on Praetor: your contact log, reservations, deal packs, saved searches and requests.
Payments: what you bought and when. Card details go to Revolut, our payment provider, and are not seen or stored by us.
Letters we post for you: the recipient, the address and the text, as you approved them.

We use these to provide the service under our contract with you, to keep financial records as the law requires, and, in our legitimate interest, to keep the service secure and fair (for example to enforce reservations).

Who processes data for us

Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (hosting), GitHub (the scheduled jobs that read the public records), Revolut (payments), Stannp (printing and posting letters you send), Resend (service emails) and Anthropic (English summaries of Spanish auction announcements). Each acts on our instructions under a data processing agreement. Some process data outside the United Kingdom, for example in the European Economic Area or the United States; where they do, the transfer is covered by UK adequacy regulations or by the safeguards the law requires, such as the International Data Transfer Addendum.

How long we keep it

Account information and your contact log are kept while your account is open and deleted within twelve months after it closes. Payment records are kept for six years, as tax law requires. Information from public records is refreshed from its source, and removed when the source removes it or when an objection is upheld.

Cookies

Praetor sets only the cookies needed to keep you signed in. It uses no advertising or analytics cookies. Your browser may remember display choices, such as which menu groups you folded, on your own device.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your personal data, and for it to be corrected, deleted, restricted or given to you in a portable form, and you can object to our use of it. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first; you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) or, in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es).
