Storage of Personal Data and Security

All personal data collected from you will be stored in secure servers of BAILEYCOM in order to prevent any unauthorized or accidental access, processing or erasure.

BAILEYCOM maintains this commitment to personal data security by implementing appropriate physical, electronic and managerial measures to safeguard and secure personal data.

Unfortunately, personal data transmitted on the Internet and/or stored on systems attached to the Internet is not 100% secure. As a result, BAILEYCOM cannot ensure, warrant or guarantee the security or integrity of such personal data.

BAILEYCOM will take all practical steps to ensure that your personal data will not be kept longer than necessary and BAILEYCOM will comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements of Hong Kong concerning the retention of personal data.

While BAILEYCOM does everything it can to protect personal data from unauthorized use, processing and disclosure, you should take precaution not to share, provide or facilitate unauthorized use of an unique username and/or password assigned by BAILEYCOM or allow access or use of it by others. If, in the unlikely event, unauthorized transactions have been discovered through no fraud, fault or negligence on the part of you, you should inform BAILEYCOM immediately.

Opt-Out Option

If you do not want BAILEYCOM to share your personally identifiable information with third parties, or if you do not wish to receive Commercial Communications from BAILEYCOM and/or third parties, you may (i) state your preferences at the time you submit your personal information to BAILEYCOM, or (ii) change your preferences at any time by:

  1. notifying BAILEYCOM in writing (at the Privacy Policy Contact mailing address or email address below) of your e-mail address and of your preference that BAILEYCOM not share your information and/or that you do not wish to receive such Commercial Communications from BAILEYCOM and/or third parties, or
  2. following the unsubscribe instructions contained within the e-mail you receive from BAILEYCOM.

BAILEYCOM will update your preferences within 14 days.

BAILEYCOM will use reasonable efforts to forward your opt-out request (including your e-mail address) to the specific third party marketer whose offer you received from BAILEYCOM prompting your opt-out or unsubscribe request, so that it can include your e-mail address on its own do-not-email list. However, even if you opt-out as described above, BAILEYCOM will not be able to remove your personal information from the databases of third parties with which BAILEYCOM has already shared your personal information (i.e., to which BAILEYCOM has provided your personal information prior to BAILEYCOM’s receipt of your opt-out request).

BAILEYCOM does not bear any responsibility for ensuring that any third party complies with your opt-out or unsubscribe request vis-à-vis its own lists.
