Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Tero Library Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit our website and when you contact us. It is written for users in the United Kingdom and aligns with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1) Data we collect

Contact form data: When you submit the contact form, we may collect your name, email address, optional phone number, selected topic, and the content of your message.

Newsletter request data: If you use the newsletter subscription modal (where available), we may collect your name, email address, and consent confirmation.

Technical data: Like most websites, our servers may log limited technical information such as your IP address, device and browser type, and timestamps. This data is typically used for security and performance.

No sensitive data requested: We do not ask you to provide payment details, government IDs, or special category data (such as health or biometric data) through our website.

2) How we use personal data

We use personal data for the following purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries and support requests.
  • To evaluate partnership proposals and collection requests.
  • To improve accessibility and usability based on feedback.
  • To maintain website security and prevent abuse.

Our lawful bases under UK GDPR depend on the context. Typical bases include legitimate interests (replying to enquiries, maintaining security) and consent (newsletter subscription, optional preference cookies).

3) Cookies & local storage

We use:

  • Essential storage for basic site functionality (for example, remembering whether the cookie banner was dismissed).
  • Optional preference storage for non-essential settings, only if you accept optional cookies.

In this website demo, some preferences (such as saved collection cards) are stored using your browser’s local storage. These items stay on your device and are not automatically transmitted to us.

You can clear local storage at any time using your browser settings. Rejecting optional cookies does not block access to core site pages.

4) Sharing & processors

We do not sell your personal data. We may share personal data only when needed to operate our services, such as with:

  • Email providers used to receive and respond to messages.
  • Hosting and security providers that keep the website running.

Where third parties process data on our behalf, we use contracts and instructions consistent with UK GDPR requirements.

5) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected.

  • Contact requests: typically retained up to 12 months after the issue is resolved, unless a longer period is required for legal reasons.
  • Partnership discussions: may be retained longer to manage ongoing relationships.
  • Security logs: retained for a limited period appropriate to the security purpose.

6) Your rights

Depending on your situation, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data. You may also have a right to data portability.

If processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). More information is available at the ICO’s official website.

7) Contact us about privacy
