Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Highland Cattle Market collects when you use this site, why we collect it, and how we look after it.

Security notice: use official contacts only

For your safety, every communication about this site and every payment must go through the official contact details given on this site: the forms on www.highlandcattlemarket.com and our email info@highlandcattlemarket.com.

We will never ask you to pay through a link, phone number, email address or social media account that is not listed on this site. Payment instructions only come from an @highlandcattlemarket.com email address. If someone claims to represent Highland Cattle Market through any other channel, do not send money or personal details. Email us at info@highlandcattlemarket.com to check first. See our Terms of Use.

Information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to send us through the forms on this site:

  • Your name and email address.
  • Your phone number, if you give it.
  • Your message, and the animal or listing you are asking about, including quantity.
  • Details about an animal you want to sell, if you use the Sell With Us form.

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. This is used to keep the site running and secure.

How we use your information

  • To reply to your inquiry and help you buy or sell an animal.
  • To send you a copy of your message by email.
  • To prepare paperwork such as a bill of sale when a sale goes ahead.
  • To protect buyers and sellers from fraud and misuse of the site.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not send marketing emails you did not ask for.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of trusted service providers to run the site:

  • Website hosting (Vercel).
  • Database and photo storage (Neon).
  • Email delivery (Resend and Zoho Mail).

These providers only process your information to provide their service to us. We may also share information when the law requires it, or with the other party to a sale (for example, the buyer's name on a bill of sale) when you agree to go ahead with a purchase.

How long we keep it

We keep inquiries for as long as we need them to deal with your request and keep proper sale records, then delete them. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Keeping your information safe

The site uses a secure (HTTPS) connection, and access to stored inquiries is password protected. No method of sending information over the internet is completely secure, so please never send card numbers, bank passwords or other sensitive financial details through our forms or by email.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you. Email info@highlandcattlemarket.com and we will respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live (for example California), you may have extra rights under local law, and we will honor them.

Cookies

See our Cookie Policy. In short, we do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Children

This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes and contact

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Questions? Email info@highlandcattlemarket.com.
