This document sets forth Boal (UK)
Ltd Privacy Policy (the "Privacy

Changes in Privacy Policy
All "personal information" ("personal information" is
defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify,
contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains)
that we collect and maintain will be subject to the version of
the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of such collection.
Boal (UK) Ltd reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy
from time to time at its sole discretion and will provide notice of material
changes on the home page of the Site. If as the result of such changes, you
want to alter the ways in which Boal (UK) Ltd is allowed to use
your personal information, you can do so by following the procedure
described below in the section titled "Updating your personal information and privacy preferences." You
will be deemed to have been made aware of and will be subject to, the changes
to the Privacy Policy by your continued use of the Site after such notice has
been posted for thirty (30) days with the following exception: If at the time
you provide personal information to Boal (UK) Ltd you are given
the opportunity (as you currently are) to limit how such information will be
used to communicate with you, either by Boal (UK) Ltd or by its associates,
Boal (UK) Ltd will not change your preference in this regard without
your express consent.
However, if Boal (UK) Ltd sells assets (or the assets of a division
or subsidiary) to another entity, or Boal (UK) Ltd (or a division
or subsidiary) is acquired by, or merged with, another entity, Boal (UK) Ltd
may provide to such entity customer information that is related to that part
of our business that was sold to or merged with the other entity without your
consent.

The Site contains links to other sites at which personal information is collected.
In such instances, unless expressly provided to the contrary, the collection

Collection of personal information
As a visitor to this Site, you can engage in many activities without providing
any personal information. In connection with other activities, Boal (UK) Ltd
may ask you to provide certain information about yourself by filling out and
submitting an online form. It is completely optional for you to engage in these
activities. If you elect to engage in these activities, however, Boal (UK) Ltd
may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last
name, mailing address (including Post/ZIP code), e-mail address, telephone number
and other personal information.
Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide
is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory
data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in
that activity.
When you use the Site, Boal (UK) Ltd or third parties authorized
by Boal (UK) Ltd may also collect certain technical and routing
information about your computer to facilitate your use of the Site and its
services. For example, we may log environmental variables, such as browser
type, operating system, CPU speed and the Internet Protocol ("IP")
address of your computer. We use these environmental variables to facilitate
and track your use of the Site and its services. Boal (UK) Ltd also uses such
environmental variables to measure traffic patterns on the Site. Without expressly
informing you in each particular circumstance, we do not match such information
with any of your personal information.
When you submit personal information to Boal (UK) Ltd through
this Site, you understand and agree that this information may be transferred
across national boundaries and may be stored and processed in any of the countries
in which Boal (UK) Ltd and its affiliates and subsidiaries maintain
offices. You also acknowledge that in certain countries or with respect to certain
activities, the collection, transferring, storage and processing of your information
may be undertaken by trusted vendors of Boal (UK) Ltd. Such
vendors are bound by contract not to use your personal information for their
own purposes or provide it to any third parties. One instance where this could
occur is in conjunction with framed pages in which the URL for the pages is not
visible and the pages are being hosted by a vendor of Boal (UK) Ltd.
Boal (UK) Ltd has established relationships with various service
providers whose services are available to you from this Site or from Web sites
that are linked to this Site. Typically, these providers offer services that
Boal (UK) Ltd customers might find useful, such as those that can be used in
conjunction with Boal (UK) Ltd services and products. In order to use those services,
you may be required to provide personal information to the providers. Unless
expressly provided to the contrary, personal information that you provide while
you are visiting a provider's Web site will be subject to the privacy policy
posted on such site and personal information that you provide while on this Site
in conjunction with a provider's service will be subject to this Privacy Policy.
You should be aware that our agreements with these service providers often
provide that they will share with Boal (UK) Ltd personal information
collected from you. In such instances, Boal (UK) Ltd may use
this information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. In the situation
where sites have Boal (UK) Ltd"look and feel," and
you reasonably believe you are on a Boal (UK) Ltd site, the
site is collecting information in a solely intermediary capacity and does not
use personal information for secondary purposes.
