information we collect

Depending on how you use the website, we collect:

Your name, email address, telephone number, and billing and delivery addresses.
Details of orders, payments, deliveries, returns and refunds.
Information you provide in enquiries and correspondence.
Account details and saved information, if you create an account.
Newsletter preferences and consent records, if you subscribe.
Technical information needed to operate and protect the website, such as your IP address, browser details and cookie preferences.

We receive information directly from you, through the website, and from providers handling payments and deliveries.

Payments are processed through Wix Payments. We receive payment status and transaction information needed to manage purchases and refunds, but do not receive or store your full payment card details.

how we use your information

We use personal information for the following purposes and legal bases:

Purchases and customer accounts

To process orders, arrange delivery, provide optional account services, manage returns and answer related enquiries. This processing is necessary to enter into or fulfil our contract with you.

General enquiries and administration
To respond to messages and maintain relevant correspondence. We rely on our legitimate interests in answering enquiries and administering The Boro Archive.

Security and disputes
To protect the website, prevent fraud and resolve disputes or legal claims. We rely on our legitimate interests in protecting customers, the website and our legal rights.

Legal obligations
To retain records or provide information where required by applicable law.

Newsletter subscriptions

Where you choose to subscribe, we rely on your consent to send promotional emails.

If you do not provide information required for an order, we may be unable to process your purchase or arrange delivery.

service providers

We share relevant information with providers supporting the website and its services:

Wix: website hosting, online shop, customer accounts, contact forms and related administration.
Wix Payments: payment processing, refunds and payment enquiries.
Royal Mail: postage and delivery, using your name, delivery address and contact details where needed.
Google Workspace, purchased through Wix: email and customer correspondence.
Usercentrics for Wix: cookie consent and privacy preferences.
Wix Email Marketing: newsletter subscriptions and delivery, when the newsletter is available.

We may also share relevant information with professional advisers or public authorities where necessary to meet legal obligations or handle legal claims.

customer accounts

Creating an account is optional. You can also purchase using guest checkout.

An account allows you to access your order history and saved information. Creating an account does not subscribe you to our newsletter.

You can request account closure by emailing info@theboroarchive.com.

Closing an account does not automatically remove order records we still need for the purposes described in this policy.

cookies and similar technologies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies to support its operation and remember your privacy choices. We use Usercentrics for Wix to manage cookie consent.

You can view information about declared services and review available choices through the Privacy Settings control on the website.

If we introduce optional analytics or advertising technologies, we will update our privacy information and obtain consent where required before using them.

internatioanl processing

Providers such as Wix and Google may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.

Their applicable data-processing terms provide mechanisms for international transfers, including adequacy arrangements or contractual safeguards where required. The mechanism depends on the provider, service and destination.

You can contact us for further information about the safeguards applicable to your information.

how long we keep your information

We retain information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy.

Essential order and transaction records: up to six years after the transaction to address queries, disputes and potential legal claims. Unnecessary supporting correspondence and delivery information may be deleted sooner.
General enquiries: normally 12 months after resolution, unless needed as part of an order record or ongoing dispute.
Customer accounts: while the account remains in use. We review accounts after two years of inactivity and may contact the owner before closing an unused account.
Newsletter subscriptions: while you remain subscribed. We review inactive subscriptions after two years.
Unsubscribe records: the minimum information needed to honour your preferences for as long as we operate the relevant mailing list.

We may retain relevant records longer where necessary for an ongoing dispute or an applicable legal obligation.

When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

Access your personal information.
Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion or restrict its use.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Receive certain information in a portable format.
Withdraw consent where we rely on it.

You can object to direct marketing at any time.

To exercise your rights or raise a concern, email info@theboroarchive.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
