PwC is committed to protecting your personal information. This statement explains how we treat information about you as an individual we collect through PwC's Look inside website (this site). By using this site, you agree to this privacy statement, including PwC collecting, processing and transferring your personal information in accordance with it.

How do we collect your information?

To register you to use this site, we created a profile for you into which we entered information which we collected about you in connection with your application for employment. We entered your name and email address and may also have entered the following information about you:

·        the city and country in which the PwC member firm you are joining is located

·        the line of service you’ll be joining

·        your proposed start date

You may choose to complete your profile on this site with your phone number, biography, LinkedIn profile and how you would describe yourself in five words. You may also provide us with further information about yourself when using this site. For example, when contributing to blog posts or discussions or adding comments. Other users of this site will be able to see your personal information and they may use it to contact you. We will also log your visits to this site, including information about the device and browser you use, your IP address and location.

We do not collect sensitive information about you

We don't collect sensitive personal information about you through this site. Sensitive personal information includes information about your gender, race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, criminal records, physical or mental health, or sexual life. Please respect the above and note that the consent for processing of personal information that you have given applies to all personal information you provided to us.

How do we use your personal information?

You agree PwC may use your personal information for a range of purposes, including:

·        to authenticate your identity and prevent unauthorised access to this site

·        to operate, administer, manage and make improvements to this site

·        to personalise and enrich your experience when using this site and our other sites, including by displaying content more likely to be relevant and of interest to you

·        to develop and manage our relationship with you, including by providing you with information about us

·        to conduct benchmarking and data analysis including, for example, regarding use of this site and the demographics of its users

·        any other purposes for which you provided the information to PwC (as stated when or obvious from the context in which the information is collected).

You agree PwC may use your personal information to send you information about this site, as well as updates regarding PwC, its clients and people. We will not pass information we collect about you through your use of this site to third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you don’t want us to use information we collect about you in connection with this site to provide you with information about us, you can opt out of receiving these communications by emailing your request to us at lookinside@uk.pwc.com.

How will my personal information be transferred or disclosed?

PwC is a global network with member firms around the world. We may transfer and disclose your personal information to other PwC member firms for any of the purposes referred to above. For a list of countries where PwC member firms are located, please see http://www.pwc.com/gx/en/office-locations/index.jhtml.

PwC and other PwC member firms use resources and servers located in various countries around the world to process your personal information. Your personal information may also be transferred to third party service providers who process information on behalf of PwC or other PwC member firms, including providers of IT, website management, data analysis, data back-up, security and storage services. The third party service providers may also use their own third parties (sub-processors). Third party service providers and their sub-processors are under a duty to maintain appropriate levels of security and confidentiality and to process personal information only as instructed by PwC member firms.

As a result, your personal information may be transferred outside the country you are located in. This includes countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and countries that do not have laws that provide specific protection for personal information. Where we collect your personal information within the EEA, transfer outside the EEA will be only under an agreement which covers the EU requirements for the transfer of personal data to data processors outside the EEA.

PwC or other PwC member firms may disclose your personal information to law enforcement, regulatory, or other government agencies or to other third parties as required by, and in accordance with, applicable law or regulation.
