• The Baylis website, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. These technologies help us better understand user behaviour, tell us which parts of our websites people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat the identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non- personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
• We also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website and online services. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with Baylis more convenient and personal. For example, knowing someone using your computer or device has shopped a certain product or used a particular service helps us make our advertising and email communications more relevant to your interests. And knowing your contact information, hardware identifiers, and information about your computer or device helps us personalise your operating system and provide you with better customer service.
• As is true of most internet services, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit websites and applications, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information to understand and analyse trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behaviour on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
• In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Baylis website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
• Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
• We are registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office and our registration number is: Z4786241
