This document sets
forth the Bailey

website,
http://www.bailey

(collectively, the

Privacy Policy
does not govern
privacy practices
associated with

except as
expressly set
forth in the
section entitled
"Data not
collected on this
site."
All personal

("personal

be used to
identify, contact,

such information
pertains) that we

Link is allowed to
use your personal
information, you

described in the
section entitled
"Updating your

privacy
preferences." You

have been made
aware of, and will
be subject to, the
changes to the
Privacy Policy
after such notice
has been posted
with the following
exception: If at
the time you
provide personal
information to
Bailey Link you
are given the
opportunity (as
you currently are)
to limit how such
information will
be used to
communicate with
you, either by
Bailey Link or by
third parties,
Bailey Link will
not change your
preference in this
regard without
your express
consent. However,
if Bailey Link
sells assets (or
the assets of a
division or
subsidiary) to
another entity, or
Bailey Link (or a
division or
subsidiary) is
acquired by or
merged with
another entity,
Bailey Link may
provide to such
entity customer
information that
is related to that
part of our
business that was
sold to or merged
with the other
entity without
your consent, but
Bailey Link will
provide notice of
such asset sales,
acquisitions, or
mergers on this
Site.

Collection
of personal
information
As a visitor to
this Site, you can
engage in many
activities without
providing any
personal
information. In
connection with
other activities,
such as utilizing
online Link
Service
applications,
Bailey Link may
ask you to provide
certain
information about
yourself by
filling out and
submitting an
online form. It is
completely
optional for you
to engage in these
activities. If you
elect to engage in
these activities,
however, Bailey
Link may ask that
you provide us
personal
information, such
as your first and
last name, mailing
address (including
ZIP code), e-mail
address, employer,
job title and
department,
telephone and
facsimile numbers,
and other personal
information. When
ordering products
or services on the
Site, you may be
asked to provide a
credit card
number. Depending
upon the activity,
some of the
information that
we ask you to
provide is
identified as
mandatory and some
as voluntary. If
you do not provide
the mandatory data
with respect to a
particular
activity, you will
not be able to
engage in that
activity.
When you use
the Site, Bailey
Link or third
parties authorized
by Bailey Link may
also collect
certain technical
and routing
information about
your computer to
facilitate your
use of the Site
and its services.
For example, we
may log
environmental
variables, such as
browser type,
operating system,
CPU speed, and the
Internet Protocol
(IP) address of
your computer. We
use these
environmental
variables to
facilitate and
track your use of
the Site and its
services. Bailey
Link also uses
such environmental
variables to
measure traffic
patterns on the
Site. Without
expressly
informing you in
each particular
circumstance, we
do not match such
information with
any of your
personal
information.
When you submit
personal
information to
Bailey Link
through the Site,
you understand and
agree that this
information may be
transferred across
national
boundaries and may
be stored and
processed in any
of the countries
in which Bailey
Link maintains
offices including,
without
limitation, the
United States. You
also acknowledge
that in certain
countries or with
respect to certain
activities, the
collection,
transfer, storage,
and processing of
your information
may be undertaken
by trusted vendors
of Bailey Link.
Such vendors are
bound by contract
not to use your
personal
information for
their own purposes
or provide it to
any third parties.
One instance where
this could occur
is in conjunction
with framed pages
in which the URL
for the pages is
not visible, and
the pages are
being hosted by a
vendor of Bailey
Link.
Bailey Link has
established
relationships with
various service
providers whose
services are
available to you
from the Site or
from websites that
are linked to the
Site. Typically,
these providers
offer services
that Bailey Link
customers might
find useful, such
as those that can
be used in
conjunction with
Bailey Link
services and
products. In order
to use those
services, you may
be required to
provide personal
information to the
providers. Unless
expressly provided
to the contrary,
personal
information that
you provide while
you are visiting a
provider's website
will be subject to
the privacy policy
posted on such
site, and personal
information that
you provide while
on the Site in
conjunction with a
provider's service
will be subject to
this Privacy
Policy. You should
be aware that our
agreements with
these service
providers often
provide that they
will share with
Bailey Link
personal
information
collected from
you. In such
instances, Bailey
Link may use this
information in a
manner consistent
with this Privacy
Policy. In the
situation where
sites have a
Bailey Link "look
and feel" and you
reasonably believe
you are on an
Bailey Link site,
the site is
collecting
information in a
solely
intermediary
capacity and does
not use personal
information for
secondary
purposes.
In order to
reduce errors in
our database,
authenticate our
users, and prevent
abuse of our
system, we may on
occasion
supplement the
personal
information you
submit to us with
information from
third-party
sources. For
example, we may
supplement your
Registration
Information with
address
information
provided by the
U.S. Postal
Service to qualify
your information
and prevent errors
in our database.
As permissible, we
may also
supplement the
information you
provide to us with
demographic and
other information
(such as age or
interest in
photography)
stored in
third-party
databases in order
to make it more
likely that
marketing
communications we
send will be of
interest to you.
How your
personal
information is
used
Bailey Link
collects your
information in
order to record
and support your
participation in
the activities you
select. If you
subscribe to a
service or
register a
product, for
example, the
information is
used to register
your rights, if
any, to technical
support or other
benefits that may
be made available
to registered
users. As another
example, if you
enter a contest,
information is
collected to
qualify the entry
and to contact you
regarding the
contest or prize
awards. Your
personal
information is
also used to track
customer
preferences and
keep you informed
about products,
special offers,
and other products
and services of
Bailey Link and
selected third
parties unless you
have opted not to
receive such
communications or
such
communications are
prohibited by law.
Bailey Link may
collect
information about
the use of the
Site, such as the
types of services
used and how many
users we receive
daily. This
information is
collected in
aggregate form,
without
identifying any
user individually.
Bailey Link may
use this
aggregate,
non-identifying
statistical data
for statistical
analysis,
marketing, or
similar
promotional
purposes.
Your choices
with respect to
personal
information
Bailey Link
recognizes and
appreciates the
importance of
responsible use of
information
collected on the
Site. Bailey Link
may communicate
information to you
regarding
products,
services, and
special offers
available from
Bailey Link or
selected third
parties unless you
have opted not to
receive such
communications or
such
communications are
prohibited by law,
although we may
find it necessary
to communicate
with you regarding
your use of the
services on the
Site. Except in
the particular
circumstances
described in this
Privacy Policy,
Bailey Link will
also not provide
your name to other
companies or
organizations
without your
consent.
There are other
instances in which
Bailey Link may
divulge your
personal
information, such
as where required
by law,
regulation, or
litigation. We may
also disclose
information about
you if we
determine that
such disclosure
should be made for
reasons of
national security,
law enforcement,
or other issues of
public importance.
Protection
of your personal
information
The personal
information that
you provide in
connection with
registering
yourself as a user
of Bailey Link
products or
services or
registering a
Bailey Link
product is
classified as
Registration
Information.
Registration
Information is
protected in
several ways.
Access by you to
your Registration
Information is
available through
a password and
unique username
selected by you.
This password is
encrypted. We
recommend that you
do not divulge
your password to
anyone. In
addition, your
Registration
Information
resides on a
secure server that
only selected
Bailey Link
personnel and
contractors have
access to via
password. Bailey
Link encrypts your
personal
information and
thereby strives to
prevent
unauthorized
parties from
viewing such
information when
it is transmitted
to Bailey Link.
Personal
information that
you provide that
does not
constitute
Registration
Information also
resides on a
secure server and
is accessible only
to selected Bailey
Link personnel and
contractors via
password. Since
this information
is not accessible
by you, you will
not be asked to
select a password
in order to view
or modify such
information.
Use of
cookies
When you visit
this Site, you can
browse the Site
and access
important
information
without revealing
your identity. In
order to improve
our Site, we and
our vendors use
"cookies" to track
your visit. A
cookie is small
amount of data
that is
transferred to
your browser by a
web server and can
only be read by
the server that
gave it to you. It
functions as your
identification
card and enables
Bailey Link to
record your
passwords,
purchases, and
preferences. It
cannot be executed
as code or deliver
viruses.
Most browsers
are initially set
to accept cookies.
You can set your
browser to notify
you when you
receive a cookie,
giving you the
chance to decide
whether or not to
accept it. (For
some web pages
that require an
authorization,
cookies are not
optional. Users
choosing not to
accept cookies
will probably not
be able to access
those pages.)
While Bailey
Link and our
vendors use
cookies to track
your visit to the
Site, and our web
servers
automatically log
the IP/Internet
address of your
computer, Bailey
Link does not
generally use this
information to
identify you
personally.
However, if you
expressly provide
consent for the
Site to "remember"
the unique
identifier that
you select when
you register for
various activities
on the Site, that
unique identifier
will be stored on
a cookie on your
computer, linked
to your
Registration
Information, and
your navigation
path around the
Site will be
tracked. We
associate this
data to understand
how our Site and
services are being
used so we can
understand our
customers and
offer appropriate
products and
services.
Bailey Link
also hires other
companies to place
our banner ads on
other websites and
to perform
tracking and
reporting
activities
("third-party
advertisement
servers"). Aside
from IP addresses,
they do not
collect personally
identifiable
information in
doing this work
for us, and we do
not give any
personally
identifiable
information to
them. Third-party
advertisement
servers are
subject to their
own privacy
policies.

preferences in a

Link is not
responsible for
the content or
