We also tell you how you can reach us to answer any questions

Information Requests
If you request specific information from us, such as
an annual report, a proxy statement, or a brochure on
our dividend reinvestment plan, we ask for information

Electronic Delivery for Shareholders
If you are a Brunswick shareholder and would like to

you to vote your shares online. To register, if you are
a shareholder in the United States or Canada, you must
provide your Social Security number or tax ID number,
your e-mail address and a 4-digit PIN. If you are a shareholder
in a country other than the United States or Canada,
you must provide your Brunswick shareholder account number,
your e-mail address and a 4-digit PIN. We use the information
you provide to verify that you are a Brunswick shareholder,
to register you for the electronic delivery service,
and to provide you with the electronic delivery and voting
services you requested. You may also update or cancel
your registration on the site by providing the same information.
Jobs with Brunswick
If you would like to receive e-mail alerts regarding
job openings, we ask for your e-mail address to alert
you when new jobs openings are posted online, and so
we can e-mail you to inform you of other jobs for which
we think you are qualified.
If
you would like to e-mail a job opening to a friend,
we ask for your name, e-mail address and phone number
and your friend’s name and e-mail address. You
may also include a personalized message to your friend.
We use this information to e-mail the job opening you
selected to your friend.

If you are applying for a job available in the United
States, we ask for, but do not require, your gender,
race, and veteran status for affirmative action purposes.
We also ask you to provide a resume. If you do not provide
a resume, we ask you to tell us about your education,
your employment history, and whether you are legally
authorized to work in the United States. We use this
information for recruitment purposes.
Non-Personal Information
We
collect certain aggregate and non-personal information
when you visit this website. Aggregate and non-personal
information does not relate to a single, identifiable visitor.
It tells us such things as how many users visited our site,
the date and time of their visit, and the pages they accessed.
By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor
this website to our visitors. We collect this information
through “cookie” technology and “log
files,” as explained below.
Cookies and Log Files
Like
many companies, we use “cookies” and “log
files” on this website. Cookies are bits of text
that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when
you visit certain websites. Log files are small text
files that websites automatically create when a user
visits a site. We use cookies and log files to tell us,
for example, whether you’ve visited us before or
if you’re a new visitor and to help us identify
site features in which you may have the greatest interest.
Cookies and log files may enhance your online experience
by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular
site.
The “help” portion
of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to
stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when
you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing
cookies. Remember though, without cookies, you may
not be able to take full advantage of all our website
features.
Information We Share
We
do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information
about our website visitors, except as described here. We
may share the information you provide with companies affiliated
with Brunswick (such as Baja, Sea Ray, Mercury, MerCruiser,
Life Fitness, Brunswick Bowling, and Brunswick Billiards).
We also may share information provided by our website visitors
with service providers we have retained to perform services
on our behalf. In some cases, those service providers host
websites that are linked to our site to provide the services
described above. In those cases, the service provider sites
will be governed by any terms and conditions or other notices
that may be posted on those sites. We strongly recommend
that you review these terms and conditions and other notices
prior to using those sites. Brunswick will take reasonable
steps to help ensure that these service providers are obligated
to safeguard your information on Brunswick’s behalf.
In addition, we may disclose information about you (i)
if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii)
to law enforcement authorities or other government officials,
or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate
to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection
with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
We reserve the right to disclose any information we have
about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion
of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer
occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee
to use personal information you have provided through this
website in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy
Notice.
Information We Transfer
We may transfer the personal information we collect on
this site to other countries where we do business, which
may not have the same data protection laws as the country
in which you reside. When we transfer your information
to other countries, we will protect that information as
described here, even though a given country may not have
the same privacy and data protection laws as the country
in which you reside.
Links to Other Sites
We may provide links to other websites for your convenience
and information. These sites may operate independently
from this website and may have their own privacy notices
in place. We strongly suggest you review those privacy
notices if you visit any linked websites. To the extent
any linked websites you visit are unrelated to Brunswick,
we are not responsible for their content or any use of
the sites.
How We Protect Personal Information
We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards
to protect the personal information you provide on this
site.
