This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Web site.
Bailey Balloons Ltd T/A Aerosaurus Balloons & South West Balloon Flights takes every precaution to protect its users. When users submit sensitive information via the website your information is protected both on-line and off-line.
This website has a secure bookings area which protects all sensitive information. We use a 128-bit encryption with all sensitive information protected by secure socket layer technology (SSL) encryption software. This means that any data you send to us i.e. credit card details is safe.
While on a secure page the pad-lock icon will appear this will tell you that you are using a secure connection.
We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use the commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8.1 When employees and agents of Bailey Balloons Ltd T/A Aerosaurus Balloons & South West Balloon Flights need to process the supply of our products and services to you
8.2 With your agreement, to companies within the Balloons Over Britain Group whose products and services you have requested.
8.3 Sometimes we use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of understanding how our customers use our website. These statistics help us to develop our website and services. By providing such information to third parties e.g., content partners and advertisers, we are able to improve our offering to customers. These statistics do not contain information traceable to an individual and will simply be something along the lines of: ‘5,000 more visitors clicked on Advert A rather than Advert B’.
Countries not within the European Union may not have the same standard of protection for personal information as that provided for by the Data Protection Act 1998. If it is necessary to transfer your data to a company based outside the EU then Bailey Balloons Ltd T/A Aerosaurus Balloons & South West Balloon Flights will make every effort to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the DPA, as implemented by the EU Directive on the Protection of Personal Data (95/46/EC), and any other Act/s that may replace or modifying such Act for the time it is in force, through the implementation of an agreement ensuring adequate protection of your personal data.
