This document sets out how Barelo Essentials collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information submitted through this website. Please read the following carefully.
Barelo Essentials is an independent wellness catalogue presenting body care and daily supplement selections. The catalogue is not affiliated with any commercial, governmental, or institutional body.
This Privacy Policy applies to the website located at barelo.info and to all enquiries, contact form submissions, and other interactions that involve the collection of personal data. It does not extend to third-party websites or services linked from this site.
The data controller for the purposes of applicable data protection legislation is Barelo Essentials, 41 41 Matilda Street, London N1 2HS, United Kingdom. For data-related enquiries, write to: [email protected].
We collect personal information in the following circumstances:
Contact Form Submissions
When you use the contact form on this website, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry. It is not shared with third parties, used for unsolicited communications, or stored beyond the period necessary to complete your correspondence.
Automatically Collected Data
When you visit barelo.info, our web server and analytics software may record your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected in aggregate and is used only to understand general usage patterns. It is not used to identify individuals.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses cookies to support its functioning and to gather anonymised usage information. For a full description of the cookies used and your options for managing them, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
Personal information collected through this website is used only for the purposes for which it was submitted. Specifically:
- To respond to enquiries submitted via the contact form.
- To maintain the functioning and security of this website.
- To understand how the catalogue is used in aggregate, in order to improve the quality of the content and navigation.
- To fulfil any legal obligation arising under United Kingdom data protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
We do not sell, rent, or pass personal information to third parties for their own purposes. We do not use your information to build profiles, target advertising, or infer personal characteristics beyond what you have voluntarily shared.
The legal basis for processing contact form data is your consent, given at the point of submission. The legal basis for processing automatically collected technical data is our legitimate interest in ensuring the security and proper functioning of this website.
Retention Periods
Contact form correspondence is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the enquiry and for a period of up to twelve months thereafter, in case follow-up is required. Automatically collected server log data is retained for a maximum of ninety days, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes encrypted data transfer (HTTPS), access controls, and periodic review of our data handling procedures. No system of data transfer over the internet can be regarded as entirely without risk; we take reasonable precautions but cannot provide an absolute assurance of security.
Data Transfers
Where we use third-party services that may process data outside of the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (for example, web hosting or email delivery), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights regarding personal data we hold about you:
- Right of access. You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Right to rectification. You may ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Right to erasure. You may request that we delete your personal data where there is no ongoing lawful basis for retaining it.
- Right to restrict processing. You may ask us to limit the way we use your data in certain circumstances.
- Right to data portability. Where applicable, you may request that we provide your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to withdraw consent. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
- Right to complain. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has not been handled in accordance with applicable law.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, ordinarily no longer than one calendar month.
Policy Revisions
This Privacy Policy may be revised periodically to reflect changes in our data handling practices or in applicable legislation. The date of last revision is noted at the top of this page.
