Privacy notice

This notice explains how we collect and use personal information when you use this website, take the Business Buyer Profile assessment, apply for a suitability call or contact us.

Who we are

Buy a Business with Ben and Buy Build Sell are brands of Opulentia Capital LLC, co-owned by Paul and Ben Seabridge. Opulentia Capital LLC is responsible for your personal information (the “controller”).

Registered address: 1309 Coffeen Avenue, Suite 1200, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA.

Opulentia Capital LLC also has offices in the United Kingdom and Spain.

Privacy questions and requests: ben@buyabusinesswithben.com

What we collect

Business Buyer Profile assessment

Your answers to the assessment are scored in your browser, and your individual answers are not sent to us. The assessment then suggests a profile and a starting route. The web address of your result page includes your profile type, your suggested route and whether the consulting suggestion applies, so our website platform receives that address when the page loads, as it does for any page you open. While your browser tab is open, it also keeps these values so the result pages show the right content (see our cookie notice).

If you ask us to email your full profile, we collect your first name, email address, your goal (buying, sourcing or both) and your profile result.

Application for a suitability call

We collect the route you are interested in, your background and what you want to achieve, when you would like to start, where you are in your search, the kind of business or the sectors and networks you have in mind, whether you have introduced a deal before, the help you want, the range of your own capital you could put towards an acquisition, whether you are willing to invest in paid support, and your name, email address and (optionally) phone number.

When you contact us

We keep the emails and messages you send us and our replies.

Collected automatically

When you submit a form, our website platform records the date and time, the page you used, the page that referred you and your approximate country (worked out from your IP address). Our platform and its service providers also receive your IP address and browser details as part of normal web requests. Our platform’s error monitoring service (Sentry) receives technical information each time a page loads and, if an error occurs, details of the error, including the page address. Systeme has told us that, when an error occurs, an error report can include technical diagnostic information, details of the browser and device environment, content submitted through a form at that moment, and diagnostic messages logged just before the error, but not your IP address or cookies.

Our website platform also sets a statistics cookie called “v” on your device when you open a page. See our cookie notice.

We do not ask for special category information (for example health, religion or ethnicity). Please do not include it in free-text answers.

How we use it and our lawful bases

  • To send the profile you asked for. Lawful basis: to provide the service you requested (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR and EU GDPR).
  • To review your application, decide whether to invite you to a suitability call, prepare for that call and follow up. Lawful basis: steps you ask us to take before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in running our business (Article 6(1)(f)).
  • Your capital range and willingness to invest are used only to understand which support might fit you. Ben reviews every application personally, and no answer rejects an application automatically.
  • The assessment’s profile suggestion is generated automatically from your answers. It is an educational suggestion only. It does not decide whether you can apply or what we offer you.
  • To keep records, deal with questions or complaints and meet legal obligations. Lawful basis: legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) and legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)).

Emails

We send only the emails you ask for (your profile) and emails about your application. We do not send marketing emails.

Emails sent through our website platform, including the profile email, contain a small tracking image and tracked links. This lets our platform record when an email is opened (if your email program loads images) and which links are clicked.

Who we share it with

We use these service providers to run the website and our communications. They process your information on our behalf.

  • Systeme.io (ITACWT Limited, Ireland): website hosting, forms, contact records, application pipeline and email sending. Systeme states that its servers are hosted by Amazon Web Services in Ireland.
  • Amazon Web Services (CloudFront): delivers our website platform’s pages and files.
  • Sentry: error monitoring used by our website platform. Error reports are sent to Sentry’s US service.
  • Namecheap (Private Email): hosts our ben@buyabusinesswithben.com mailbox, which receives notifications of new applications.
  • Cloudflare: manages our domain’s DNS and redirects visitors from buyabusinesswithben.com to www.buyabusinesswithben.com. If you use the address without www, Cloudflare receives your IP address and browser details to redirect you.

We may also share information with professional advisers, or where the law requires it. We do not sell your personal information.

International transfers

Opulentia Capital LLC is a US company, and your information may be processed outside the UK and the European Economic Area, including in the United States.

  • Systeme states that it hosts its data in Ireland. Its error monitoring service, Sentry, operates in the United States. Sentry states that it is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension.
  • Namecheap processes our mailbox data in the United States. Its terms refer to standard contractual clauses.
  • Cloudflare’s data processing terms include the EU standard contractual clauses and the UK addendum.

How long we keep it

  • Profile requests: 12 months from the date you requested your profile, or from our last email exchange with you if that is later. If you apply, the period for applications applies instead.
  • Applications that do not lead to an agreement: 24 months from the date you applied, or from our last contact with you if that is later.
  • Clients: for as long as needed for the engagement, and afterwards for as long as our legal, tax and accounting obligations require.

“Contact” means an email, call or meeting between you and us. Automated emails do not count. These periods include copies in our mailbox.

We review our records once a month and delete those that have reached the end of their period. When we delete a record from our website platform, Systeme removes it permanently within 30 days, and it may remain in Systeme’s backups for up to a further 30 days.

If you ask us to delete your information sooner, we will do so unless we need to keep it to meet a legal obligation or to deal with a claim.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or delete it, ask us to restrict or stop using it, object to our use of it based on legitimate interests, and ask for a portable copy. Where we rely on consent you can withdraw it at any time. These rights apply subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable data protection law. Email ben@buyabusinesswithben.com. We will normally respond within one month.

You can also complain to the data protection authority in the country where you live or work, or where you think a problem occurred. For example, that is the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK and the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos in Spain. You do not have to contact us before making a complaint, although we would welcome the opportunity to address your concern.

Security

Access to application records and to our ben@buyabusinesswithben.com mailbox is currently limited to Ben Seabridge.

Changes to this notice

We will update this page if our practices change. Last updated: 15 October 2026.
