PWC PRIVACY POLICY

Copy link Link copied to clipboard


PURPOSE

This privacy policy applies to PricewaterhouseCoopers (ABN 52 780 433 757) and
any entity owned or controlled by PricewaterhouseCoopers ("Related Entity") in
relation to PricewaterhouseCoopers' and its Related Entities' (together "PwC” or
“we") operations in Australia. This policy explains how PwC handles personal
information. 

Given the breadth of our business, there may be circumstances where our handling
of personal information differs from that described in this policy.  Where this
is the case, we will generally provide you with collection statements which
supplement this policy, or separate privacy policies which apply in place of
this policy.  

If you have any further questions in relation to our privacy handling practices,
please contact our Privacy Officer at au_privacy_officer_mbx@pwc.com.


EXCLUSIONS

This policy relates to PwC's collection and handling of personal information
that is covered by the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”). It is
not intended to cover categories of information that are not covered by the
Privacy Act.


THE FOLLOWING TOPICS WILL BE COVERED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY:

Collection of personal information Use of personal information Marketing
communications Disclosure of personal information Disclosure of information
outside Australia Privacy on our websites and applications Security of personal
information Access to information Corrections and concerns Effect of policy


COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

PwC collects and holds personal information from clients, customers, employees,
job applicants, contractors and other individuals. We collect and hold this
information for our business purposes.

The main types of personal information PwC collects and holds relate to: 

 * the contact details and organisational roles of our actual and prospective
   clients, suppliers and other business contacts. Typically, this information
   includes names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and job
   titles;

 * personal information collected in the course of providing products and
   services to our clients (for instance financial details if we are engaged to
   perform financial services, or credit information);

 * personal information collected in relation to persons who attend seminars or
   other events we run, sponsor or are otherwise involved in; 

 * personal information collected when individuals communicate with us
   (including via email); 

 * personal information collected from job applicants when they apply for a job
   with us and individual contractors when performing a role for us (in some
   instances this may include sensitive information such as health information
   if related to the role being applied for or being performed); and

 * personal information collected from our employees during the course of
   carrying out our duties and activities as an employer (in some instances this
   may include sensitive information such as health information if related to
   the employee’s role).

We collect most personal information directly from individuals when we deal with
them. The personal information we collect may be provided in forms filled out by
individuals, face to face meetings, email messages, telephone conversations,
when you use our websites or our social media, or by third parties. If you
contact us, we may keep a record of that contact.

In some circumstances, we may take photographs or videos of individuals, such as
at seminars or events we run, sponsor or are otherwise involved in. 

We may also collect personal information when it is provided to us by third
parties, including our clients.  This may include personal information contained
in materials provided to us in the course of providing products and services to
our clients.  When this occurs, we rely on the person providing us with that
personal information having the right to do so. 

Because of the nature of our business, it is generally impracticable for us to
deal with individuals on an anonymous basis or through the use of a pseudonym,
although sometimes this is possible (for example, when seeking staff or client
feedback generally).

back to top


USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

The main purposes for which we collect, hold and use personal information are:

 * to provide our products and services;

 * to respond to an individual's request;

 * to communicate, and maintain contact, with clients;

 * to send marketing communications (as described in the “Marketing
   communications” section below);

 * for general management and reporting purposes, such as invoicing and account
   management;

 * for recruitment purposes;

 * for purposes related to the employment of our personnel and providing
   internal products and services to our staff; 

 * other purposes related to our business (for example, photographs or videos we
   take at seminars or events may be used for training and promotional
   purposes); and

 * where required or permitted by law, regulation, rule or professional
   standard.

If you choose not to provide us with personal information, we may be unable to
do such things.

Employee records are not generally subject to the Privacy Act and therefore this
policy may not apply to the handling of information about employees by PwC. For
information about our practices relating to employee information, please contact
us directly.

back to top


MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may collect, hold and use personal information about individuals to send
marketing communications to them, including keeping clients and other contacts
informed of industry developments, and products and services (including seminars
and other events) that we believe may be of interest to them.  These
communications may be sent in various ways, including by email or other
electronic means.  

We are currently in the process of changing the way in which we manage
permissions for our marketing communications.  Like many organisations, and as
is permitted under relevant laws, we often rely upon the implied consent of
individuals to send them marketing communications.  In the future, however, we
intend to generally seek express consent from individuals to do so.  There may
still be limited circumstances in which we rely on implied consent, however,
such as where it is impractical to seek express consent but we believe the
individual would still wish to receive marketing messages from us.    

Individuals always have the opportunity to elect not to receive further
marketing communications from us.  The opt out options include, amongst others,
an unsubscribe option in the marketing communication, and writing to The
National Privacy Office, PwC, GPO Box 1331, Melbourne VIC 3001, or by emailing
us at au_privacy_officer_mbx@pwc.com.  In cases of written requests please allow
28 days for your request to be processed.

In addition, you may be given the ability to unsubscribe from all marketing
communications from PwC firms globally.  Doing so will also unsubscribe you from
marketing communications from us.

If you do not consent to receive, or unsubscribe from receiving, marketing
communications from us, we may still contact you for the other purposes
described in the “Use of personal information” section above.

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

PwC does not routinely disclose personal information to other organisations
unless:

 * use or disclosure is permitted by this policy;

 * we believe it is necessary to do so in connection with a product or service
   we are providing (or, in the case of a partner, employee or contractor of
   PwC, it is necessary for maintaining or related to your role at PwC);

 * to protect the rights, property or personal safety of any member of the
   public or a customer of PwC or the interests of PwC;

 * some or all of the assets or operations of PwC are or may be transferred to
   another party as part of the sale of some or all of PwC's business;

 * you give your consent; or

 * such disclosure is otherwise required or permitted by law, regulation, rule
   or professional standard.

We may also share non-personal or de-identified information for research or
promotional purposes. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

PwC uses a range of third party providers to help us maximise the quality and
efficiency of our services and our business operations (including internal
business requirements, such as recruitment and human capital requirements). This
means that individuals and organisations outside of PwC will sometimes have
access to personal information held by us and may collect or use it from or on
behalf of PwC. This may include, but is not limited to, independent contractors
and consultants, travel service providers, mail houses, off-site security
storage providers, information technology providers, event managers, credit
managers and debt collecting agencies.  

If you are employed by PwC and you obtain products or services offered by a
third party pursuant to an agreement or arrangement between that third party and
PwC, such as a credit card provider, we may provide your personal information to
that third party, including information that relates to your use of such
products and services.

back to top


DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA

In addition to disclosures permitted under this policy, we may disclose your
personal information to other PwC firms within the PwC global network (PwC
Network Firms).  In part, this is because we use common systems with those PwC
Network Firms.  For a list of where the PwC Network Firms are located, see PwC
office locations.  

We may also use overseas facilities or contractors to process, store or backup
our information or to provide certain products or services to us. 

We take care to ensure that PwC Network Firms and other third parties outside
Australia to whom we disclose personal information are subject to appropriate
restrictions on their handling of that personal information.  Due to differences
in foreign laws and the global nature of some arrangements in place for the PwC
global network, however, these restrictions may not be substantially similar to
those required under the Australian Privacy Principles, and the Privacy Act
(including mechanisms entitling you to seek redress) may not apply.  

Any such disclosure of personal information does not change any of our
commitments to safeguard your privacy, and the information remains subject to
any existing confidentiality obligations.

PRIVACY ON OUR WEBSITES AND APPLICATIONS

This policy also applies to any personal information we collect via our
websites, including pwc.com.au, and applications including mobile applications,
in addition to personal information you provide to us directly - such as where
you make a request or complete a registration form.

In order to properly manage our websites and applications, we may log certain
statistics about the users of the facilities, for example the users' domains and
browser types. None of this information specifically identifies an individual
and it is used solely to ensure that our websites and applications provide the
best possible navigational experience for users.

Cookies are used on some PwC websites.  Cookies are small text files that are
placed on your computer by the websites that you visit. They are widely used in
order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide
information to the owners of the site. If you are uncomfortable with the use of
cookies, you can manage and control them through your browser, including
removing cookies by deleting them from your ‘browser history’ (cache) when you
leave the site. In most cases, you can refuse a cookie and still fully navigate
the PwC websites. If you require more information on the type and use of cookies
by PwC, see our Cookies Information page.

We may also use other technologies, such as web beacons, to monitor users of the
PwC website.  These help us gain an understanding of how PwC websites are being
used.

If you have registered an account with us, you will be identified by a user name
and password when you log into our website or applications. The information we
collect about members' use of our websites may be used for measuring use and
performance and in assisting to resolve any technical difficulties.

Because PwC wants your user experience to be as informative and resourceful as
possible, we provide a number of links to websites and embedded content operated
by third parties. PwC is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies
of those sites. We encourage you to review each website's privacy policy,
especially if you intend to disclose any personal information via that site. A
link to another non-PwC website is not an express or implied endorsement,
promotion or warranty of the products or services offered by or accessible
through that site or advertised on that site.

SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

PwC will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information
which we hold about you, whether electronically or in hard-copy, and to keep
this information accurate and up to date. We also require our employees and data
processors to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by
PwC.

PwC aims to achieve industry best practice in the security of personal
information which it holds.

back to top



ACCESS TO INFORMATION

We will provide access to personal information upon request by an individual,
except in the limited circumstances in which it is permitted for us to withhold
this information (for instance, where granting access would infringe another
person's privacy).

When you make a request to access personal information, we will require you to
provide some form of identification (such as a driver's licence or passport) so
we can verify that you are the person to whom the information relates. In some
cases we may also request an administrative fee to cover the cost of access.

If at any time you want to know what personal information we hold about you, you
may contact us by writing to: The National Privacy Office, PwC, GPO Box 1331,
Melbourne VIC 3001, submitting a request or emailing us at
au_privacy_officer_mbx@pwc.com.

back to top



CORRECTIONS AND CONCERNS

If you believe that information we hold about you is incorrect or out of date,
or if you have concerns about how we are handling your personal information,
please contact us and we will try to resolve those concerns.

If PwC becomes aware of any ongoing concerns or problems concerning our privacy
practices, we will take these issues seriously and work to address these
concerns. If you have any further queries relating to our privacy policy, or you
have a problem or complaint, please contact our Privacy Officer. If you are not
satisfied with our handling of your problem or complaint you may make a
complaint to the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au).

EFFECT OF POLICY

PwC operates in a dynamic business environment and we aim to review this policy
annually to keep it current. We may update this privacy policy at any time by
publishing an updated version on this website.
