OPT-OUT OF ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING


YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY OPTED OUT OF ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING

When you opt-out, we will not use information based on online Site behavior to
provide online and offline tailored content and advertising to you, but you may
still receive untailored advertising from Bank of America. In addition,
financial advisors/Client Managers may continue to use information collected
online to provide product and service information in accordance with account
agreements.

Opting out also means the online content and advertising you receive on our
non-servicing sites (before you log in) will be untailored and will not be based
on your online behavior or your relationship with us.

When accessing online account servicing areas (after you log in), such as Online
Banking or MyMerrill, you may receive tailored content and advertising based on
your account relationships.

Important reminder: For this online behavioral advertising opt-out to work on
your device, your browser must be set to accept cookies. If your browser blocks
third party cookies (for example, Firefox or Safari), this opt-out may not work
as expected.

If you delete cookies, buy a new device, access our Site from a different
device, log in under a different screen name or change web browsers, you will
need to opt-out again.

If your browser has scripting disabled, you do not need to opt-out, as online
behavioral advertising technology does not work when scripting is disabled.
Please check your browser's security settings to validate whether scripting is
active or disabled.

The opt-out will take effect upon your next visit using the same device to Bank
of America Sites. Click on Submit to opt-out of online Site behavior used to
provide online and offline tailored content and advertising.

Submit Cancel

You have successfully opted out of online behavioral advertising. The opt-out
will take effect upon your next visit using the same device to Bank of America
Sites.

Corporation that link to or reference this Notice.

different from those of our Sites and Mobile Apps. Bank of America does not

Online Behavioral Advertising

Personal information collected from and about you online, as described in this
Notice, is used and shared to deliver advertising and marketing, including
prescreened offers of credit, which may be of interest to you.

We present tailored ads to you:

 * On our Sites and Mobile Apps through ads that appear as you sign on or off of
   your online accounts.
 * In off-line channels such as financial centers, call centers, and through
   direct marketing (for example email, mail, phone).
 * On third-party sites and mobile apps not affiliated with Bank of America.

HOW WE TAILOR ADS TO YOU

 * Advertising on our sites, mobile apps and off-line channels such as financial
   centers, call centers, and through direct marketing (for example email, mail,
   phone): We may use personal information about your activities on our Sites

   determine which of our ads or offers may be of interest to you. We may use

   help determine which advertisements or offers to present to you.

   that may appeal to you, display them to you and monitor your responses.

HOW YOU CAN OPT OUT OF ONLINE BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING

 * Advertising on Non-Affiliated Third-Party sites: Bank of America participates
   in the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA") self-regulatory Principles for
   Online Behavioral Advertising and uses the Advertising Options Icon on our
   behavioral ads on non-affiliated third-party sites (excluding ads appearing
   on platforms that do not accept the icon). Ads served on our behalf by these
   companies do not contain unencrypted personal information and we limit the
   use of personal information by companies that serve our ads. To learn more
   about ad choices, or to opt out of interest-based advertising with
   non-affiliated third-party sites, visit YourAdChoices layer powered by the
   Digital Advertising Alliance or through the Network Advertising Initiative's
   Opt-Out Tool layer. You may also visit the individual sites for additional
   information on their data and privacy practices and opt-out options.

Industry standards continue to evolve around web browser "do not track" signals
or configurations set in your internet browser. In addition to the advertising
opt-out options above, Bank of America captures opt out preference signals, and
to the extent users have rights under applicable law, treats them as valid
requests to opt out of sale/sharing at the browser level.

REMINDER

Please note that if you opt out of this advertising:

 * You may still receive general advertising from Bank of America.
 * When accessing online account servicing areas (i.e. after login), such as
   Online Banking, Merrill Edge or MyMerrill, you may receive tailored content
   and advertising based on your account relationships.
 * Financial Advisors/Client Managers may continue to use personal information
   collected online as described in this Notice to provide details on products
   and services in accordance with account agreements.
 * In order for online behavioral advertising opt outs from our Sites and Mobile
   Apps and on other sites to work on your device, your browser must be set to
   accept cookies.
 * If you delete cookies, buy a new device, access our Sites and Mobile Apps or
   other sites from a different device, login under a different screen name, or
   change web browsers, you will need to opt out again.

Additional Information

THIRD-PARTY DATA SHARING

Some companies may offer aggregation websites and services that allow you to
share your data with them in order to consolidate your account information from
different sources (such as your accounts with us or with other financial
institutions) so that you can view it in one location or perform actions related
to your accounts using their services. To do this, a third-party may request you
to authorize access to your Bank of America accounts by providing your Bank of
America user ID and password or by providing your information-sharing consent
directly to Bank of America.

 * The third-party may access, on your behalf, information about you, your Bank
   of America relationship, and your accounts at Bank of America.
 * You should use caution and ensure that the third-party has appropriate
   policies and practices to protect the privacy and security of any personal
   information you provide or to which they are gaining access.
 * Use of your information by the third-party is governed by your agreement with
   them, not by Bank of America. We recommend reviewing the third party's
   policies before sharing your personal information to understand how they will
   use and store your account information. For example, look for whether they
   sell any of your personal information, and if your information will be
   transferred, processed, or stored outside of the United States.
 * We are not responsible for the use or disclosure of any personal information
   accessed by any company or person to whom you provide your site user ID and
   password.
 * If you share your Bank of America user ID, password or other information
   about your accounts with others, we will consider that you have authorized
   any transaction or action initiated by using the access information you
   provide.
 * If you decide to revoke the authority you have given to a third-party, we
   strongly recommend that you change your Bank of America password to ensure
   that the third-party cannot continue to access your account.
 * You may revoke your consent for certain third parties through the Security
   Center within Bank of America Online Banking.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Bank of America engages with customers on social media platforms such as
Facebook®, X®, YouTube® and LinkedIn®.

 * Any content you post on official Bank of America managed social media pages,
   such as pictures, information, opinions or any personal information that you
   make available to other participants on these social platforms, is subject to
   the Terms of Use and Privacy Policies of those respective platforms.
 * When interacting with official Bank of America social media pages, Bank of
   America's privacy notices, Social Media User Terms and Community Guidelines
   may apply.
 * Please review the privacy policy for the specific social media service you
   are using to better understand your rights and obligations with regard to
   such content.

We may allow social share buttons on our sites that enable users to easily share
information on social media platforms. The non-affiliated third parties that own
these widgets may have access to information about your browsing on pages of our
Sites and Mobile Apps where these widgets are placed.

   served on our behalf by these companies do not contain unencrypted personal
   information and we limit the use of personal information by companies that
   serve our ads. To learn more about ad choices, or to opt out of
   interest-based advertising with non-affiliated third-party sites, visit

OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS

Opt-Out Preference Signals


An “opt-out preference signal,” such as the Global Privacy Control, is a signal
sent by your browser, device, or other platform that communicates your choice
for sharing personal information. Bank of America honors any opt-out preference
signal that meets legal requirements as a valid request to opt out of sharing
personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.  
If we receive an opt-out preference signal from your device, we will honor it
and update your settings. At any time, you may manually adjust the toggle to
update your preferences.
• A toggle to the left indicates that you have opted-out and prefer to prohibit
our sharing of your personal information
• A toggle to the right indicates your preference to opt-in and allow us to
share your personal information
• Any manual adjustment or updated opt-out preference signal will override
previous settings
