PwC Gibraltar Website Privacy Commitment/Privacy Statement

Introduction

PwC Gibraltar is strongly committed to protecting personal data.  This privacy statement describes why and how we collect and use personal data and provides information about individuals’ rights.  It applies to personal data provided to us, both by individuals themselves or by others.  We may use personal data provided to us for any of the purposes described in this privacy statement or as otherwise stated at the point of collection.

“PwC Gibraltar” (and “we, “us”, or “our”) refers to PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited, the limited liability company registered in Gibraltar with registration number 94799 and principal place of business and registration address at 327 Main Street, Gibraltar, GX11 1AA that: (1) is a contracting party for the purposes of providing or receiving services, (2) posted a position for which you are applying, or (3) you have a role or relationship with. Each member firm in the PWC network is a separate legal entity and a separate controller for personal data. For further details, please see www.pwc.com/structure.

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable living person.  When “you” or “your” are used in this statement, we are referring to the relevant individual who is the subject of the personal data. PwC Gibraltar processes personal data for numerous purposes, and the means of collection, lawful basis of processing, use, disclosure, and retention periods for each purpose may differ.

When collecting and using personal data, our policy is to be transparent about why and how we process personal data. To find out more about our specific processing activities, please go to the relevant sections of this statement.

 

Security

We take the security of all the data we hold very seriously.  We adhere to internationally recognised security standards and have a framework of policies, procedures and training in place covering data protection, confidentiality and security and regularly review the appropriateness of the measures we have in place to keep the data we hold secure.

When and how we share personal data and locations of processing

We will only share personal data with others when we are legally permitted to do so.  When we share data with others, we put contractual arrangements and security mechanisms in place to protect the data and to comply with our data protection, confidentiality and security standards.

We are part of a global network of firms and in common with other professional service providers, we use third parties located in other countries to help us run our business.  As a result, personal data may be transferred outside of Gibraltar. We will do so only where we have a lawful basis, for example to recipients: (i) in countries which provide an adequate level of protection for personal data; or (ii) if adequacy is not available, under agreements which meet Gibraltar and / or European Commission requirements for those transfers, as appropriate. 

Personal data held by us may be transferred to:

·        Other PwC member firms

We may share personal data with other PwC member firms where necessary for administrative purposes and to provide professional services to our clients (e.g. when providing services involving advice from PwC member firms in different territories) and to develop new PwC technologies and services across the PwC network of member firms. 

We may store personal data on other PwC member firm servers in the EU and the USA.

 Our business contacts are visible to and used by PwC users from other PwC member firms to learn more about a contact, client or opportunity they have an interest in (please see the Business contacts section of this privacy statement for more information about our processing of this type of data).

·        Third party organisations that provide applications/functionality, data processing or IT services to us

We use third parties to support us in providing our services and to help provide, run and manage our internal IT systems.  For example, providers of information technology, cloud based software as a service providers, identity management, website hosting and management, data analysis, data back-up, security and storage services.  The servers  are located in secure data centres around the world, and personal data may be stored in any one of them.
