3. AGGREKO'S WEBSITE
Aggreko operates a global website. It
can be found at http://www.aggreko.com/
but can also be accessed in certain countries via national domain
name addresses. The Aggreko website is translated into
various languages for accessibility by users in certain
countries. Users should know, however, that Aggreko holds and
manages its website from the United States. This means that

THE EEA
Aggreko is required to tell you if it
transfers or intends to transfer information which it holds about
you to countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").
Aggreko currently transfers information outside the EEA in the
following circumstances: (a) to its servers which are currently
located in the United States and which may in the future be located
in another country outside the EEA; and (b) to businesses in the
Aggreko group operating in countries outside the EEA for the
purposes set out in paragraph 3 below. Because Aggreko's
servers are located in the United States, the transfer of all of
Aggreko's data outside the EEA is necessary to enable Aggreko to
operate its website and to provide the products and information
offered.
By submitting your personal information and
data to Aggreko, you consent to the transfer and storage of your
personal information and data outside the EEA as set out
herein. If you do not wish any of your personal data or
