Welcome to ClearanceFood.com ("we," "our," or "us"). ClearanceFood.com is operated by Clearance Food Ltd, registered in England & Wales under company number 17354605, whose registered office is Unit 6 Mayfield Farm, Sheering Road, Harlow, CM17 0JP, United Kingdom. Clearance Food Ltd is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.
We collect information that you provide directly to us, including:
We automatically collect information about how you interact with our platform:
We use the information we collect to:
Where UK PECR rules apply, we only send electronic marketing (email or WhatsApp deal alerts) when you have given clear opt-in consent, or where another lawful basis applies. You can withdraw consent at any time by using an available unsubscribe link or contacting us; we record the suppression so marketing contact stops.
When you offer stock through our forms we act as your agent to find a buyer. The service is that we write your stock up as an anonymous lot and show it to verified UK trade buyers who log in to clearancefood.com so they can bid. This is processing necessary for the contract you ask us to perform (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). What buyers see and do not see:
You can withdraw the lot before it is awarded, withdraw the content licence, or stop WhatsApp and email updates at any time: reply to any lot email, use the matching subject on our contact page (“Withdraw my stock offer / lot”, “Stop WhatsApp / email updates”, “Remove my photos or content”), or reply STOP to a WhatsApp message. We keep the record of what you agreed to, and when, for as long as the lot record is kept.
If you sign a Clear and Store agreement, we record the signer's name and role, the owning business's legal name, company number and postal address, the signing time, IP address and browser (user-agent) information, and copies, versions and cryptographic hashes of the offer and the agreement. We use this to enter into and run the storage agreement, prove what was agreed, prevent fraud, enforce or defend legal claims, manage recalls and meet legal or regulatory requirements.
Where the contracting party is an individual or sole trader, this is necessary for the contract (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). For a signer acting for a company or other organisation, we rely on our legitimate interests in contracting with that organisation and keeping reliable evidence (Article 6(1)(f)), and on legal obligation where the law requires the record (Article 6(1)(c)). We may share these records where necessary with insurers, professional advisers, courts, regulators, enforcement authorities and our service providers.
We keep the agreement and signature evidence for as long as the agreement runs and six years afterwards, or longer while a dispute, recall, investigation or legal requirement continues.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience. For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.
Our platform is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
