PRIVACY NOTICE


LAST UPDATED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

KPMG LLP is dedicated to protecting the confidentiality and privacy of
information entrusted to us in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018
including its applied GDPR provisions (DPA 2018). Please read this Privacy
Notice to learn about your rights, what information we collect, how we use and
protect it.

This website is operated by KPMG LLP (“KPMG LLP”, “we” or “us”), a UK limited
liability partnership, a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member
firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a
Swiss entity. KPMG International does not provide client services.

1.       Who are we?

This Privacy Notice applies to KPMG Foundation, KPMG LLP, and our subsidiaries
consisting of: KPMG Crimsonwing Limited; KPMG Nunwood Consulting Limited; KPMG
Audit Plc; KPMG Business Intelligence Ltd; KPMG CIO Advisory Ltd; KPMG IT
Advisory Limited; KPMG Overseas Services Limited; KPMG Sourcing Limited; KPMG UK
Limited; and KPMG United Kingdom Plc.

2.       How do we collect personal data?

o      Directly. We obtain personal data directly from individuals in a variety
of ways, including obtaining personal data from individuals who provide us with
their business card(s), complete our online forms, subscribe to our newsletters
and preference centre, register for webinars, attend meetings or events we host,
visit our offices or for recruitment purposes. We may also obtain personal data
directly when, for example, we are establishing a business relationship,
performing professional services through a contract, or through our hosted
software applications.

o      Indirectly. We obtain personal data indirectly about individuals from a
variety of sources, including recruitment services and our clients:

 * Public sources -- Personal data may be obtained from public registers (such
   as Companies House), news articles, sanctions lists, government intelligence
   and crime prevention agencies and internet searches.
 * Social and professional networking sites -- If you register or login to our
   websites using social media (e.g., LinkedIn, Google, or Twitter) to
   authenticate your identity and connect your social media login information
   with us, we will collect information or content needed for the registration
   or login that you permitted your social media provider to share with us. That
   information may include your name and email address and depending on your
   privacy settings, additional details about you, so please review the privacy
   controls on the applicable service to set how much information you want
   shared with us.
 * Business clients -- Our business clients may engage us to perform
   professional services which involves sharing personal data they control as
   part of that engagement. For example, we will review payroll data as part of
   an audit and we often need to use personal data to provide global mobility
   and pension services. Our services may also include processing personal data
   under our clients’ control on our hosted software applications, which may be
   governed by different privacy terms, policies and notices.
 * Recruitment services -- We may obtain personal data about candidates from an
   employment agency, and other parties including former employers, and credit
   reference agencies.

3.       What categories of personal data do we collect?

We may obtain the following categories of personal data about individuals
through direct interactions with us, or from information provided through client
engagements, from applicants, our suppliers and through other situations
including those described in this Privacy Notice.

o      Personal data. Here is a list of personal data we commonly collect to
conduct our business activities.

 * Contact details (e.g., name, company name, job title, work and mobile
   telephone numbers, work and personal email and postal address).
 * Professional details (e.g., job and career history, educational background
   and professional memberships, published articles).
 * Family and beneficiary details for insurance and pension planning services
   (e.g., names and dates of birth).
 * Financial information (e.g., taxes, payroll, investment interests, pensions,
   assets, bank details, insolvency records).
 * CCTV at our sites may collect images of visitors. Our policy is to
   automatically overwrite CCTV footage within 30 days.

o      Sensitive personal data. We typically do not collect sensitive or special
categories of personal data about individuals other than our own employees. In
some circumstances it is necessary for KPMG to process sensitive personal data
of our employees and other third parties. Other than where such personal data is
made public by the individual themselves, such processing would only be
undertaken as necessary for KPMG to exercise its rights and obligations as an
employer (including for occupational health purposes), protect the vital
interests of individuals, establish or defend legal claims or with the explicit
consent of the individual(s) concerned.  Examples of sensitive personal data we
may obtain, or otherwise hold, include:

 * Personal identification documents that may reveal race, religion or ethnic
   origin, possibly biometric data of private individuals, beneficial owners of
   corporate entities, or applicants.
 * Expense receipts submitted for individual tax or accounting advice that
   reveal affiliations with trade unions or political opinions.
 * Adverse information about potential or existing clients and applicants that
   may reveal criminal convictions or offences information.
 * Information provided to us by our clients in the course of a professional
   engagement.
 * Diversity and equal opportunity information volunteered by participants in
   certain KPMG professional empowerment programmes (e.g., Connect On Board) and
   recruitment processes.
 * Health data where the processing is necessary to assess, monitor and control
   spread of infectious diseases and to provide a safe environment for our
   employees, clients and suppliers.

o      Child data. Our sites are not intentionally designed for or directed at
children under the age of 13. It is our policy never to knowingly collect or
maintain information about anyone under the age of 13, except as part of an
engagement to provide professional services. Although we do not intentionally
collect information from individuals under 13 years of age, we may occasionally
receive details about children attending performances and other events we host
with their parents or guardians (e.g., arena hospitality suites, galas, art
exhibits).

o      Location-based data. We may process geographical locations you enter when
seeking an office near you.

4.       What lawful reasons do we have for processing personal data?

We may rely on the following lawful reasons when we collect and use personal
data to operate our business and provide our products and services:

o      Contract – We may process personal data in order to perform our
contractual obligations owed to (or to enter into a contract with) the relevant
individuals.

o      Consent - We may rely on your freely given consent at the time you
provided your personal data to us.

o      Legitimate interests – We may rely on legitimate interests based on our
evaluation that the processing is fair, reasonable and balanced. These may

   clients have engaged us to provide including information on new products and
   services.
 * Direct marketing – To conduct and analyse our marketing activities.  To
   deliver timely market insights and speciality knowledge including tailor-made
   online experience we believe is welcomed by our business clients, subscribers
   and individuals who have interacted with us.
 * Monitor our IT systems - Prevent fraud or criminal activity and protect our
   IT systems.
 * Corporate responsibility - Comply with our corporate and corporate social
   responsibility commitments.

o   Legal obligations – We may process personal data in order to meet our legal
and regulatory obligations or mandates.

o   Public Interest – We may process personal data in order to perform a
specific task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority
vested in us.

interests of the individual or another natural person.  

5.       Why do we need personal data?

We aspire to be transparent when we collect and use personal data and tell you
why we need it, which typically includes:

o   Providing professional advice and delivering reports related to our tax,
advisory, audit and assurance, pension scheme administration, mergers and
acquisitions and other professional services. Our services may include reviewing
client files for quality assurance purposes, which may involve processing
personal data for the relevant client.

o   Promoting our professional services, products and capabilities to existing
and prospective business clients.

o   Sending invitations and providing access to guests attending our events and
webinars or our sponsored events.

o   Personalising online landing pages and communications we think would be of
interest based on interactions with us and KPMG member firms.

o   Administering, maintaining and ensuring the security of our information
systems, applications and websites.

o   Authenticating registered users to certain areas of our sites.

o   Seeking qualified candidates, and forwarding candidate career inquiries to
our People team, which may be governed by different privacy terms and policies.

o   Processing online requests, including responding to communications from
individuals or requests for proposals and quotations.

o   Contacting journalists regarding company press releases, invitations to
annual press parties, highlighting messages that may be of interest on specific
industry topics.

education and learning purposes to inform leaders in the healthcare, civil
service and other industries.

o   Complying with legal and regulatory obligations relating to anti-money
laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and other forms of financial crime.

o   Compiling health and safety data (directly or indirectly) following an
incident or accident. Indirect data can take many forms including an incident
report, first aider report, witness statements and CCTV footage.

o   Collecting health data to assess, monitor and control spread of infectious
diseases and to provide a safe environment for our employees, clients and
suppliers.

6.       Do we share personal data with third parties?

We may occasionally share personal data with trusted third parties to help us
deliver efficient and quality services. These recipients are contractually bound
to safeguard the data we entrust to them. We may engage with several or all of
the following categories of recipients:

o   KPMG member firms, where necessary for administrative purposes and to
provide professional services to our clients (e.g., when providing services
involving advice from KPMG member firms in different territories).

o   Parties that support us as we provide our services (e.g., providers of
telecommunication systems, mailroom support, IT system support, archiving
services, document production services and cloud-based software services).

o   Professional advisers, including lawyers, auditors and insurers.

o   A potential buyer, transferee, merger partner or seller and their advisers
in connection with an actual or potential transfer or merger of part or all of
our business or assets, or any associated rights or interests, or to acquire a
business or enter into a merger with it.

o   Parties that support as with anti-money laundering, client conflicts and
independence checks.

o   Law enforcement or other government and regulatory agencies (e.g., HMRC) or
to other third parties as required by, and in accordance with, applicable law or
regulation.

o   Health government bodies and external service providers (health, facilities,
estate management) to assess, monitor and control the spread of infectious
diseases.

o   Payment, marketing and recruitment services providers.

KPMG will not transfer the personal information you provide to any third parties
for their own direct marketing use.

7.       Do we transfer your personal data outside the UK or European Economic
Area (EEA)?

We store personal data on servers located in the UK and EEA. We may transfer
personal data to KPMG International, KPMG member firms, and reputable third
party organisations situated inside or outside the UK and EEA when we have a
business reason to engage these organisations. Each organisation is required to
safeguard personal data in accordance with our contractual obligations and data
protection legislation.

8.       Do we use cookies?

Our websites may use cookies. Where cookies are used, a statement will be sent
to your browser explaining the use of cookies. To learn more, please refer to
our (Cookies Notice).

9.       What are your data protection rights?

o   Access – You can ask us to verify whether we are processing personal data
about you, and if so, to provide more specific information.

o   Correction – You can ask us to correct our records if you believe they
contain incorrect or incomplete information about you.

o   Erasure – You can ask us to erase (delete) your personal data after you
withdraw your consent to processing or when we no longer need it for the purpose
it was originally collected.

o   Processing restrictions – You can ask us to temporarily restrict our
processing of your personal data if you contest the accuracy of your personal
data, prefer to restrict its use rather than having us erase it, or need us to
preserve it for you to establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim. A temporary
restriction may apply while verifying whether we have overriding legitimate
grounds to process it. You can ask us to inform you before we lift that
temporary processing restriction.

o   Data portability – In some circumstances, where you have provided personal
data to us, you can ask us to transmit that personal data (in a structured,
commonly used, and machine-readable format) directly to another company if is
technically feasible.

o   Automated Individual Decision-making – You can ask us to review any
decisions made about you which we made solely based on automated processing,
including profiling, that produced legal effects concerning you or similarly
significantly affected you.

o   Right to Object to Direct Marketing including Profiling – You can object to
our use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including
profiling. We may need to keep some minimal information to comply with your
request to cease marketing to you.

o   Right to Withdraw Consent – You can withdraw your consent that you have
previously given to one or more specified purposes to process your personal
data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before
you withdraw your consent. It may mean we are not able to provide certain
products or services to you and we will advise you if this is the case.

If you would like to exercise your Data Subject Rights, you can email
dataprivacy@kpmg.co.uk. We may need to request specific information from you to
help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information or
to exercise any of your other rights. This helps us to ensure that personal data
is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. No fee is
required to make a request unless your request is clearly unfounded or
excessive. Depending on the circumstances, we may be unable to comply with your
request based on other lawful grounds.

10.    What about personal data security?

We have put appropriate technical and organisational security policies and
procedures in place to protect personal data (including sensitive personal data)
from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. We aim to ensure that access to
your personal data is limited only to those who need to access it. Those
individuals who have access to the data are required to maintain the
confidentiality of such information. We may apply pseudonymisation,
de-identification and anonymisation techniques in efforts to further protect
personal data.

If you have access to parts of our websites or use our services, you remain
responsible for keeping your user ID and password confidential. Please be aware
that the transmission of data via the Internet is not completely secure. Whilst
we do our best to try to protect the security of your personal data, we cannot
ensure or guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any
transmission is at your own risk.

11.    How long do we retain personal data?

We retain personal data to provide our services, stay in contact with you and to
comply with applicable laws, regulations and professional obligations that we
are subject to. Unless a different time frame applies as a result of business
need or specific legal, regulatory or contractual requirements, where we retain
personal data in accordance with these purposes, we retain such personal data
for seven years.

12.    Do we link to other websites?

Our websites may contain links to other sites, including sites maintained by
other KPMG member firms that are not governed by this Privacy Notice. Please
review the destination websites’ privacy notices before submitting personal data
on those sites. Whilst we try to link only to sites that share our high
standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content,
security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.

13.    Who can you contact for privacy questions or concerns?

If you have questions or comments about this Privacy Notice or how we handle
personal data, please direct your correspondence to: KPMG LLP, Data Privacy
Office, 15 Canada Square, London UK E14 5GL or email dataprivacy@kpmg.co.uk. We

FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

Functional Cookies


Functional cookies enable the website to store information such as the user name
or language selection and to offer the user improved and personalised functions
based on this information. The information collected is only evaluated in
aggregated form. Since we would like to offer you a website that is designed for
optimum user-friendliness, we recommend that you activate these cookies.
Functional cookies are also used, for example, to activate the functions you

TARGETING COOKIES

Targeting Cookies


Marketing cookies are used to offer content that is more relevant to the user
and adapted to his interests. They are also used to measure and control the
effectiveness of campaigns. For example, they register whether a website has
been visited or not, as well as which content has been used. This information is
used to create an interest profile so that only content that is interesting for
you is displayed. If you withdraw your consent to marketing cookies, this does
not mean that you will see or receive less content as a result. Rather, it means
that the content you see and receive is not tailored to your individual needs.

PERFORMANCE COOKIES

Performance Cookies


These cookies collect data on user behaviour. On this basis, the website is
adjusted to the general user behaviour in terms of content and functionality.
The information collected is generally processed in aggregated form, unless a
visitor has expressly consented to a personal evaluation. Performance cookies
are only used to improve the performance of the website and to tailor the online
experience to the needs of the users.

STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES

Always Active

These cookies are necessary for core features of this site to operate properly.
Because they are needed for the site's operation, they are always set to

affect how the website functions.
