3. Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

3.1 Information you provide

• Email address and related details when you join the newsletter or contact us
• Content and contact details submitted through review requests, advertising enquiries, services enquiries, or book submissions
• Any other information you choose to include in free-text fields

3.2 Information we collect automatically

• Website usage data through analytics (for example pages visited and referral sources), where you have accepted non-essential cookies
• Technical information such as IP address, browser type, and device information (often via analytics or server logs)
• Cookies and similar technologies — see Cookies below

3.3 Information from third parties

• Where you follow outbound links (for example to booksellers), those services operate under their own privacy policies
• We may use reputable infrastructure and email providers to deliver the site and messages; they process data on our instructions

4. How we use your data

We use personal data to:

• Operate, secure, and improve the Library
• Send newsletters or operational messages where you have signed up or where we have another lawful basis
• Respond to submissions and enquiries
• Measure site performance with analytics when you consent to non-essential cookies
• Comply with legal obligations

5. Legal bases

Depending on the activity, we rely on consent (for example newsletter sign-up and non-essential analytics cookies), legitimate interests (for example site security, responding to enquiries, and understanding aggregate readership where permitted), or legal obligation.

6. Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Newsletter and submission records are reviewed periodically and deleted or anonymised when no longer required.

7. Your rights

You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to data portability where applicable. You can withdraw consent at any time (for example unsubscribe links on emails, or cookie preferences via the site footer). You may lodge a complaint with the ICO (UK) or your local supervisory authority.

8. Cookies

Essential cookies may be needed for basic site function (for example admin sign-in where applicable). Non-essential cookies used for analytics are loaded only if you choose "Accept" on the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie preferences in the footer, which clears the stored choice and reloads the page.

9. International transfers

If we use processors outside the UK/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required by law.
