Legal & Privacy

How we handle your data, our use of cookies, and the terms on which this website is offered. Last updated June 2026.

Privacy Policy

Lockibire, an imprint of Maqutt Studio Limited (“we”, “us”), takes your privacy seriously. This policy sets out how we use and protect your personal data when you visit our website. As the data controller, we are responsible for your personal data.

What is personal data?

Personal data is any information about a person which identifies them.

What personal data do we collect?

This website is a simple showcase for our books. We collect only what you choose to send us:

  • Contact information — such as your name and email address, if you write to us.
  • Correspondence — the content of any messages you send us.

We do not sell anything directly through this website, and we do not collect sensitive data or data relating to children.

How and why do we use it?

In accordance with data protection law, we only use your personal data where we have a legal basis to do so — to respond to and correspond with you (our legitimate interests, or to take steps at your request), and to help ensure the website operates effectively (our legitimate interests).

Sharing & international transfers

We only share personal data with third-party service providers where necessary, and only where we are satisfied they protect your data and act on our instructions. We may share data with legal or regulatory bodies where required by law. We do not transfer your personal data outside of the UK.

Security & retention

We take the security of your data seriously and limit access to those who need it for business purposes, subject to confidentiality obligations. We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, and keep records of any orders or payments for six years after our relationship ends.

Your rights

You have the right to: be provided with a copy of your personal data; ask us to correct or delete it; restrict or object to its processing; request its transfer; and withdraw consent where consent is our legal basis. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us — you will not pay a fee, and we will usually respond within one month.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at any time, though we would appreciate the chance to resolve any concern first.

Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to help it function properly and to remember your preferences. This page outlines the types of cookies we use and their purposes.

Essential cookies

Necessary for the basic functionality of the site. We use a single preference cookie to remember that you have acknowledged our cookie notice, so the banner does not reappear on every visit. It stores no personal data.

Analytics, functionality & advertising cookies

This is a simple showcase website and we do not currently use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies. Should that change, this policy will be updated and any optional cookies will be set only with your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

Managing your preferences

You can delete cookies whenever you wish and adjust your browser settings to block or allow cookies automatically. Most web browsers let you manage cookies through their settings. Please contact us if you require any further assistance.

Terms of Use

By accessing and using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Use of the site

This website is provided for your personal, non-commercial information and enjoyment. You agree not to use it in any way that is unlawful, or that could damage, disable, or impair the site.

Intellectual property

All content on this website — including the stories, text, illustrations, and the “Lockibird” device — is owned by or licensed to Lockibire / Maqutt Studio Limited and is protected by copyright. You may not reproduce, distribute, or adapt it without our prior written permission.

Buying our books & external links

Our books are sold through Amazon, an independent retailer we have chosen as our sales partner. When you follow a “Find it on Amazon” link you leave our website and your purchase is governed by Amazon’s own terms, pricing, and privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. While we choose our retail partner with care, we are not able to control or accept responsibility for Amazon’s content or practices. If anything ever goes wrong with an order, please tell us as well — we will always do our best to help.

No warranties & liability

The website itself is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded under law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. We may update these terms from time to time; please check this page on each visit.
