1.What information is collected?

We collect personally identifiable information that is specifically and voluntarily provided by you in order for you to create and maintain a Talent Profile with us. By creating a Talent Profile, you will be able to tell us about your academic background and career interests; submit your resume to our US recruiters; provide us with a means to keep in touch with you; and learn more about our firm. "Personal data" means information about you such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, your academic background, previous work experiences, your preferred work style, level of experience with certain activities, and other personal career interests. Personal information may be collected about you either:

i.     directly from you. Where you are asked to provide such data when you create a Talent Profile or respond to other information requests; or

ii.    indirectly, such as through the use of cookies (as described below), to track your use of certain pages of the website (e.g. your internet protocol address), or other technical means to monitor your use of the site.

It is PwC US' policy to limit the information collected to only the minimum information required to complete your request. We do not require that sensitive data fields be completed in order for you to submit a Talent Profile. However, if you do decide to provide this information about yourself, you do so voluntarily. By providing us with this sensitive data about yourself, you consent to our using that data for the purposes established on the website, in line with U.S. equal employment opportunity (EEO), affirmative action obligations, and other relevant employment laws and regulations.

Information you submit about your ethnicity, race, gender, veterans and/or disability statuses will be kept confidential, except that (1) supervisors and/or Partners/Principals may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of individuals with disabilities, and regarding necessary accommodations; (2) first aid and safety personnel may be informed, when and to the extent appropriate, if conditions might require emergency treatment; and (3) government officials engaged in enforcing applicable laws may be informed.

Personal data will also, subject to applicable law, be disclosed when such disclosure is required by law through subpoena, search warrant or other forms of legal process.

To establish the completeness and accuracy of information routinely provided to government agencies concerning U.S. affirmative action and equal employment opportunity obligations, and for diversity reporting purposes, we ask that you complete the voluntary EEO questionnaire in your Talent Profile. Your election whether to provide information will not subject you in any way to adverse treatment by the firm.
