Sharing your information
We are committed to provide discreet services at all times and do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information outside the Baoli group.

However, we will not without your express consent provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing, advertising, or other uses.

How we use cookies
A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on your computer's hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps us analyse web traffic or lets us know when you visit a particular section of our website. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. The web application can tailor its operations to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.

We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used, help us to further improve our website and personalise your Baoli experience by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the website.

Links to other websites
Our website contains links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Protection and security
The security of the personal information that you provide is very important to us. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect from you. The data you submit to us is stored on a secure server and accessible only by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

While we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot be responsible for information that you choose to publicly disclose and you should always keep in mind the risks of transmitting your personal data over the Internet.

You may request details of personal information which we hold about you under the Data Protection Act 1998, for which Baoli may charge an administration fee of £10 as a contribution towards costs in providing you with this personal information.

You agree that any information, which you provide us with, is up to date, true and accurate. If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to or email us as soon as possible. We will promptly amend any information found to be incorrect.
