Privacy
What personally identifiable information is being collected?
When you visit the Bailey’s Wholesale's Web site, in order for us to provide you with the products or services you have requested, you may be asked to provide us with personally identifiable information. For example, when you order a product, we may ask you to become a registered user of our site, during which you will be asked for your name, shipping and billing addresses, e-mail address, and credit card number or other payment-related information. If you request one of our newsletters or send an inquiry to our customer service representatives, we will store a record of your request along with your e-mail address. In addition, our Web servers track various technical details about your visit, such as your computer's IP address and the pages you visited, however that information does not typically contain any personally identifiable information about you.
We post customer testimonials on our web site which may contain personally identifiable information such as the customer's name. We do obtain the customer's consent to post their name along with their review/comments prior to posting the testimonial.
When you order a gift certificate you are given the opportunity to include the name and a message for the receiving party. This information is only captured as part of this specific order process and is not stored.
How is the information being used?
The information we collect is used to provide the products and services that you have requested or that we think you might have an interest in. It is also used to improve the content of our Web site, to notify you of problems with your requests, or to update you about changes to our Web site.
With whom do we share your information?
In order to operate this Web site and to provide you with the products and services requested, we occasionally need to share information with third parties. We may transmit your personal information to service providers who assist us in processing orders, shipping products, processing payment information, sending catalogs, conducting surveys, on and offline sweepstakes, processing job applications, sending e-mails and newsletters, and helping us decide whether to extend credit. We have agreements with these service providers that they will protect your privacy in accordance with our standard Privacy Statement. Some of those organizations may have their own Privacy Statements which may give you additional protections, so you are encouraged to read those statements when presented.
E-Mail an item
If you choose to use our referral service section of our site to email a friend or colleague, we will ask for that email address only. We will automatically send that person a one-time email inviting them to visit the site or view a product. We do not store the email address or any information included and it is only used for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
How do I access, update, or delete my personally identifiable information?
If you are a registered user of the Web site, you can manage many aspects of your registration information. For security reasons, however, some parts of your personal information may not be changed online and may require you to call or write us in order to verify your identity before such changes can be made. The online registration area will also permit you to exercise control over the use of your e-mail address, allowing you to opt-out of future e-mail messages from this Web site. Unfortunately, due to various legal and recordkeeping requirements, we may be required to maintain records about your purchases or other activities on this website. However, you will always be permitted to opt-out of any marketing uses of your stored information. If you prefer to manage your personal information via other means, you may contact us by postal mail at:

What information will be disclosed if required by law?
If required by law, we may provide any and all information we have about you to law enforcement or other government agencies, pursuant to a subpoena, warrant, or other order by a court of competent jurisdiction. In all cases, we will require written documentation of the request, proof of the identity of the law enforcement official making the request, and we will take steps to authenticate the validity of the request. Any law enforcement or government agency request submitted with less than a court-issued order will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis according to the need and urgency, as well as the particular law enforcement agency making the request.
What are cookies and how do we use them?
A cookie is a block of text placed in a file on the user's hard drive by a Web site you've visited. These types of cookies cannot identify an individual user specifically, such as by name or address, unless the cookie data is attached to personally identifiable information such as online registration. Bailey’s Wholesale uses cookies to observe our site visitor's navigation throughout the site. This helps us identify ways to improve the shopping experience.
Bailey’s Wholesale also uses a session cookie, which is a piece of identification between your browser and our server, which helps to do things like keep track of the items in a user's shopping cart and other information. The shopping cart cookie is saved for a designated period of time in case the users' session expires or they return to complete a purchase within that time frame. For the convenience of our users, we also place a cookie on the users' computer when they log in to our talk forums. This gives the advantage of not having to log back in when moving between the talk forums and the rest of the site. We do not link cookies to Personally Identifiable Information.

Secure Ordering Process
Any credit card information you enter on our site is strongly encrypted by industry-standard protocol, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The Bailey’s Wholesale 's Web site uses SSL to communicate with secure browsers like Firefox and Internet Explorer. These browsers encrypt your credit card and personal information in a way that makes it extremely difficult for anyone to intercept and misuse while being transmitted between your computer and our server. Don't worry if your browser is secure or not - if it is insecure, you will not be able to purchase on our online store.
Once you have completed your order online, our security procedures do not end. We take appropriate precautions to protect the security and privacy of the information stored on our computer networks. Many of the systems which store your personal information are not connected to the Internet, reducing the likelihood of security breaches. Our systems are also housed in secure facilities, and access to your data by our employees is limited to a "need to know" basis, controlled by password protected systems, and monitored for abuse.
If you are still unsure of giving your credit card over the Internet, please feel free to phone, fax, or mail your order to us. For telephone ordering or assistance, please call 1-888-8BAILEY. Our fax number for orders is 1-574-296-7564. Or, send your order to:
