Your notice says Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some, but not
all, sharing. What are other ways you share under the law?

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, we are permitted to share with third parties,
without regard to the customer choices, in connection with situations where we
are required to disclose information, such as responding to subpoenas or tax
reporting, and for typical business activities, such as sharing to identify or
prevent fraud, to resolve customer disputes and enforce our rights, in
connection with sale of all or part of a business or with consent.

Does the Consumer Privacy Notice apply to all transactions and other activities
I perform while I'm banking online at Bank of America?
Yes. The Consumer Privacy Notice describes how the company collects, shares and
protects personal information about customers in order to conduct business. This
Notice applies to all Bank of America customers and their account transactions
and other activities performed online as well as offline. Additionally, our
Online Privacy Notice explains how we manage the privacy and security of

   ADVERTISING PRACTICES
   
   We strive to provide you with information about products and services you
   might find interesting and useful. Relationship-based ads and online
   behavioral advertising help us do that.
   
   Here's how it works: We gather information about your online activities, such
   as the searches you conduct on our Sites and the pages you visit. This
   information may be used to deliver advertising on our Sites and offline (for
   example, by phone, email and direct mail) that's customized to meet specific
   interests you may have.
   
   If you prefer that we do not use this information, you may opt out of online
   behavioral advertising. If you opt out, though, you may still receive generic
   advertising. In addition, financial advisors/Client Managers may continue to
   use information collected online to provide product and service information
   in accordance with account agreements.
   
   Also, if you opt out of online behavioral advertising, you may still see ads
   when you log in to your account, for example through Online Banking or
   MyMerrill. These ads are based on your specific account relationships with
   us.
   
   To learn more about relationship-based ads, online behavioral advertising and
   our privacy practices, please review Bank of America Online Privacy Notice
   and our Online Privacy FAQs.
