How Sterling Bridging Finance collects, uses, shares and protects personal information.
Last updated: 22 July 2026
This notice explains how Sterling Bridging Finance (“Sterling”, “we”, “us”) handles personal information submitted through this website, by telephone, email or WhatsApp.
Information we collect
We may collect identity and contact details, information about a property and proposed transaction, ownership and business details, financial and credit information, correspondence, consent records, and technical website data. Please do not send original documents or unnecessary special-category information through an initial enquiry form.
How we use it
We use information to respond to enquiries, understand a property finance requirement, administer our relationship, prevent fraud, meet legal and regulatory obligations, protect our systems and improve the website. Depending on the activity, our legal basis may be taking steps at your request, legitimate interests, legal obligation or consent.
UK property finance enquiries
For an unregulated UK property finance enquiry, we may share relevant information with prospective lenders and professional parties involved in the transaction where this is necessary to assess or progress the requirement.
Spanish property finance introductions
Sterling acts solely as an introducer for Spanish property finance. We will only pass an enquiry to an independent specialist provider after obtaining explicit consent. That provider becomes responsible for its own privacy information and for eligibility, advice, recommendations, products, terms and the finance process.
Other recipients and international transfers
Information may also be processed by website, hosting, email, security, analytics and professional-service suppliers acting under appropriate safeguards. A Spanish introduction or an overseas technology provider may involve processing outside the UK. Where required, we use an appropriate transfer mechanism and safeguards.
Retention and security
We keep information only for as long as reasonably required for the enquiry, relationship, legal obligations, dispute handling and fraud prevention. Retention periods vary by record type. We use proportionate technical and organisational measures, but no internet transmission is completely secure.
Analytics and cookies
Analytics storage is denied by default. Google Analytics is enabled only after you select Accept in the cookie controls. Reject keeps analytics disabled. You can reopen Cookie settings from the footer and change your choice.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability or withdrawal of consent. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Some rights are subject to legal limits.
