Statement describes why and how we collect and use personal data and provides

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

SECURITY

Information Security is a high priority for the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
network. PwC member firms are accountable to their people, clients, suppliers
and other stakeholders to protect information that is entrusted to them. The PwC
Information Security Policy (ISP) outlines the minimum security requirements
with which every member firm must comply.

The PwC ISP has been developed to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of the information and technology assets used by the PwC member
firms. The PwC ISP is aligned with the industry standard ISO/IEC
27002:2013 Information technology – Security techniques – Code of practice for
information security controls.

THIRD PARTIES

We shall 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.

The transfer of personal data may be possible to:

* Other PwC member firms
- For details of our member firm locations, please click here. 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). Our business contacts are visible to and used by PwC users from
other PwC member firms to learn more about a contact, a client or an
opportunity in which they have an interest.
- In addition, PwC uses its own Service Delivery Centres (SDC), which operate
within the PwC network to support other PwC firms in the administrative
organisation and processing of customer orders and mandates. This includes,
for example, the preparation and review of invoices, layout and design,
editing, translation services and other services relating to client orders
and mandates.
- The PwC member firms have concluded an internal data protection agreement
that provides for the transfer of personal data from EU/EEA countries to
other companies in compliance with the EU standard contract clauses of the EU
Commission. The EU standard contractual clauses are available here.
* 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 in Switzerland and abroad.
PwC shall take appropriate precautions to maintain confidentiality and to
protect data.
* Third parties that otherwise assist us in providing goods, services or
information but also support and make our business development activities
more effective.

* Auditors and other professional advisers
* Law enforcement or other government and regulatory agencies or other third
parties as required by, and in accordance with, applicable laws or
regulations
* Occasionally, we may receive requests from third parties with authority to
obtain disclosure of personal data, such as to check that we are complying
with applicable laws and regulations, to investigate an alleged crime or to
establish, exercise or defend legal rights. We shall only fulfil requests for
personal data where we are permitted to do so in accordance with applicable
laws or regulations.

DATA CONTROLLER AND CONTACT INFORMATION

The data controller in accordance with art. 4 (7) GDPR is PricewaterhouseCoopers
AG (CHE-106.839.438) and such other PwC member firms that are contracting
parties for the purposes of providing or receiving services.

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer in accordance with art. 37 GDPR. If
you have any questions about this Privacy Statement or about how and why we
process personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer at:

MODIFICATIONS TO THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT

PwC reserves the right to modify or amend this Privacy Statement at any time by
publishing an updated version here. The current version of the statement shall
be accessible on this website. This Privacy Statement was last updated on 30 May
2018.

INDIVIDUAL’S RIGHTS

Access to personal data

You have a right of access to personal data held by us as a data controller.
This right may be exercised by emailing us at ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch. We
may charge for a request for access in accordance with applicable law. We aim to
respond to any requests for information promptly and, in any event, within the
legally required time limit (currently 30 days).

Amendment of personal data

To update personal data submitted to us, you may email us
at ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch or, where appropriate, contact us via the
relevant website registration page or by amending the personal details held on
relevant applications with which you registered.

When feasible in practice, once we are informed that any personal data processed
by us is no longer accurate, we shall make appropriate corrections based on your
updated information.

Withdrawal of consent

Where we process personal data based on consent, individuals have a right to
withdraw consent at any time. We do not generally process personal data based on
consent (as we can usually rely on another legal basis). To withdraw consent to
our processing of your personal data please email us
at ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch or, to stop receiving an email from a PwC
marketing list, please click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in the email you received
from us.

Erasure/deletion of personal data

You have the right to request that PwC deletes your personal data if there is a
legally relevant reason. To request the deletion of your personal data, please
send an email to ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch together with the reasons why you
wish us to delete the data. We shall inform you of the outcome of your request.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In accordance with art. 77 GDPR, you have the right of appeal to a data
protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your
personal data violates data protection law.

Other data subject rights

As well as the rights referred to above, individuals may have other rights in
relation to the personal data we hold, such as the right to restrict or object
to our processing of personal data and the right to data portability. If you
wish to exercise these rights, please send an email
to ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch.

STAKEHOLDERS

In the following sections, we take a detailed look at the stakeholder groups
from which we process personal data as part of their use of this website or
other internet-based channels. Please note that other stakeholders whose
personal data are processed (e.g. visitors to our office premises, partners and
staff, suppliers) are informed of the use of their data and all other legally
required information at the point of collection. To find out more, please go to
the section(s) of this Privacy Statement applicable to you.

CORPORATE CLIENTS (AND INDIVIDUALS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR CORPORATE CLIENTS)

We only collect the personal data necessary for agreed purposes and we ask our
clients to share personal data with us only if it is necessary for those
purposes. Where we need to process personal data to provide professional
services, we ask our clients to provide the data subjects with the necessary
information regarding its use. Our clients may use relevant sections of this
Privacy Statement or refer data subjects to this Privacy Statement if they
consider it appropriate to do so.

Given the diversity of the services that we provide to clients, we process many
categories of personal data, including:

* contact details;
* business activities;
* information about management and employees;
* payroll and other financial- and tax-related details;
* internal processes and procedures;
* corporate IT systems such as SAP; and
* investments and other financial interests.

For payroll and immigration services, and with the individual’s consent, we may
also process special categories of personal data. Examples of special categories
include religious beliefs, physical or mental health, sexual life or sexual
orientation, excerpts from the debt register and criminal records. In such
cases, the person concerned is informed about the purpose of data processing and
asked for his/her consent individually.

Generally, we collect personal data from our clients or from a third party
acting on the instructions of the relevant client. Only the persons performing
the processing activities have access to these personal data. In this way, the
data are treated as highly confidential within PwC.

PURPOSES OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

Initiating and fulfilling contracts

PwC processes personal data to carry out pre-contractual measures (such as
preparing an offer, conducting internal pre-contractual compliance checks or
creating a contract) and to provide the contractually agreed services, including
the administrative execution and billing of the order. The legal basis for the
processing is art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. In this context, the contact data are
processed in particular, such as name, address, telephone number and email
address.

PwC uses IT systems in which personal data are stored and managed for the
processing of order enquiries and orders.

No automated decision-making or profiling is undertaken.

The length of time that personal data are retained is determined by the data
processing described below for the purpose of file management, documentation and
archiving.

If the data subject has not contracted PwC as a person, we usually receive the
contact details from the employer, i.e. our client. In this case, the personal
data shall be processed on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, as there is a
legitimate interest in processing. On the basis of a contract with our client,
PwC is subject to an obligation to provide the service for which it is
commissioned. In order to be able to provide this service, it is necessary to
process the data of the contact persons and persons with responsibility at the
client. This constitutes a legitimate interest of PwC in the processing of these
data. Accordingly, the same applies when preparing a proposal for the provision
of services.

Please note that, in accordance with PwC’s General Terms and Conditions of
Business, the client is obliged to cooperate in providing PwC with all documents
and information necessary for the execution of the contract. If and to the
extent that the necessary information is not provided, PwC will not or only to a
limited extent be able to process the client’s order and provide the agreed
service.

Administering, managing and developing our businesses and services

PwC is legally obliged to keep records properly and to document its mandates and
orders extensively. These files and the documentation must also be kept and
stored after completion of an order or mandate for retention periods specified
by law. In addition, PwC is subject to further statutory documentation and
storage obligations, which are based, among other things, on tax, accounting or
commercial and corporate law requirements for companies.

The documents to be recorded, the results of the work and the associated
client-related correspondence also contain personal data, so that these are also
part of file management and archiving.

The record keeping, documentation and archiving of client documents at PwC is
performed electronically in the IT systems of PwC and, in some cases, in the
form of paper files.

This processing is carried out on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. With its
file management, documentation and archiving, PwC fulfils the legal obligations
of professional law, tax law and commercial and corporate law, among others.

Security, quality and risk management activities

We have security measures in place to protect our and our clients’ information
(including personal data), which involve detecting, investigating and resolving
security threats. Personal data may be processed as part of the security
monitoring that we undertake; for example, automated scans to identify harmful
emails. We monitor the services provided to clients for quality purposes, which
may involve processing personal data stored in the relevant client file. We have
policies and procedures in place to monitor the quality of our services and
manage risks in relation to client engagements. We collect and hold personal
data as part of our client engagement and acceptance procedures. As part of
those procedures, we carry out searches using publicly available sources (e.g.
the internet and sanctions lists) to identify politically exposed persons and
individuals and organisations involving heightened risk. Such searches are used
to check there are no issues that would prevent us from working with a
particular client (such as sanctions, criminal convictions –including in respect
of company directors – or conduct or other reputational issues).

Providing our clients with information about us and our range of services

PwC also uses contact data (in particular, name, address, email address) to
obtain customer feedback or to provide the client with information on other PwC
offers, services or events.

This processing is carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest of PwC in
accordance with art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. There is a legitimate economic interest
in informing PwC's customers and clients about offers and events of our own in
order to establish and maintain a long-term customer relationship.

Complying with any requirement of law, regulation or a professional body of
which we are a member

As with any provider of professional services, we are subject to legal,
regulatory and professional obligations. We need to keep certain records to
demonstrate that our services are provided in compliance with those obligations
and those records may contain personal data.

Management of business contacts

If PwC has received contact data within the framework of a business event held
by PwC or others, within the framework of a business appointment (e.g. by
exchanging business cards) or within the framework of an order, we also use
these contact data (in particular, name, address, email address) to maintain our
business contacts. For this purpose, we transfer the contact data into the
customer relationship management (CRM) systems used by us.

This processing is carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest of PwC in
accordance with art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. PwC has a legitimate economic interest
in maintaining contacts established in the course of business transactions
beyond the initial contact and in using them to establish a business
relationship and to remain in contact with those affected for this purpose.

Data retention

We retain the personal data processed by us for as long as is considered
necessary for the purpose for which it was collected (including as required by
applicable laws or regulations).

In the absence of specific legal, regulatory or contractual requirements, our
baseline retention period for records and other documentary evidence created in
the provision of services is 12 years.

PERSONAL CLIENTS

If a natural person is a customer of PwC, other personal data are processed
within the scope of order processing, insofar as this is required for the
provision of the service agreed with the client. For this purpose, we shall
process, in particular, bank data and payment data, as well as further
information on personal, professional and financial circumstances, where
applicable, insofar as these play a role in the fulfilment of the order by PwC
and the client provides us with this information in accordance with the order
concluded with PwC.

The processing of such personal data by PwC is carried out on the legal basis of
art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, as the data processing is necessary for the fulfilment
of the contract concluded between the client and PwC.

Given the diversity of the services that we provide to clients, we process many
categories of personal data, including:

* contact details;
* business activities;
* family information;
* income and other financial related details; and
* investments and other financial interests.

PURPOSES OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

Providing professional services

We provide a diverse range of professional services (click here for information
on our services). Some of our services require us to process personal data in
order to provide advice and deliverables. For example, we need to use personal
data to provide individual tax advice, immigration services or pension advice.

Administering, managing and developing our businesses and services

We process personal data in order to run our business, including:

* managing our relationships with clients;
* developing our businesses and services (such as identifying client needs and
making improvements in service delivery);
* maintaining and using IT systems;
* hosting or facilitating the hosting of events; and
* administering and managing our website, systems and applications.

Security, quality and risk management activities

Providing our clients with information about us and our range of services

With or without consent, in accordance with applicable law, we use client
contact details to provide clients information that we believe to be of interest
about us and our services; for example, industry updates and insights, other
services that may be relevant and invitations to events.

Complying with any requirement of law, regulation or a professional body of
which we are a member

We are continually looking for ways to help our clients and improve our business
and services. Where agreed with our clients, we may use information that we
receive in the course of providing professional services for other lawful
purposes, including analysis to better understand a particular issue, industry
or sector, to provide insights to our clients, to improve our business, service
delivery and offerings and to develop new PwC technologies and offerings. To the
extent that the information we receive in the course of providing professional
services contains personal data, we shall de-identify the data prior to using
the information for these purposes.

Data retention

We retain the personal data processed by us for as long as is considered
necessary for the purpose for which it was collected (including as required by
applicable laws or regulations).

In the absence of specific legal, regulatory or contractual requirements, our
baseline retention period for records and other documentary evidence created in
the provision of services is 12 years.

INDIVIDUALS WHO USE OUR APPLICATIONS

We provide external users access to various applications managed by us. Such
applications shall include their own Privacy Statements explaining why and how
personal data are collected and processed by those applications, or in the
absence of a particular Privacy Statement refer to this present Privacy
Statement. We encourage individuals using our applications to refer to the
Privacy Statements issued on those applications.

OTHERS WHO GET IN TOUCH WITH US

We collect personal data (such as name, contact details and contents of the
communication) when an individual gets in touch with us with a question,
complaint, comment or feedback. In these cases, the individual is in control of
the personal data shared with us and we shall only use the data for the purpose
of responding to the communication.

RECRUITMENT APPLICANTS

When applying online for a position at PwC via the PwC careers website,
applicants should refer to the information provided when applying for a job for
details on why and how personal data are collected and processed. If you should
enter in an employment relationship with us, contractual agreements will
regulate our use of your personal data.

For more details about our recruitment processes, please visit our careers page.

OTHER VISITORS TO OUR WEBSITE

The data controller collecting the data provided by a visitor to this website is
the PwC firm in the visitor’s country or another PwC firm to which the visitor
has submitted his/her data. Personal data collected by a PwC firm may be
transferred to other PwC firms in connection with the purpose for which the
visitor has submitted the information. By submitting data on this website, a
visitor provides explicit consent to the use of the data in accordance with this
Privacy Statement, including the cross-border transmission of data collected on
the website in order to fulfil the voluntarily submitted request.

DATA COLLECTION

We collect only personally identifiable information provided specifically and
voluntarily by visitors to this website. PwC receives limited identifiable
information (such as name, title, company address, email address, telephone and
fax numbers) from website visitors. Typically, identifying information is
collected in order to:

* register for certain areas of the site;
* subscribe to updates;
* inquire after further information;
* distribute requested reference materials;
* submit resumes;
* monitor and enforce compliance with the terms and conditions for the use of
our website;
* administer and manage our website, including confirming and authenticating
identity and preventing unauthorised access to restricted areas, premium
content or other services limited to registered users; and
* aggregate data for website analytics and improvements.

Although most publications are provided as downloads, visitors may also have the
opportunity to purchase PwC publications online (by calling toll free numbers)
or by faxing order forms to our fulfilment centres. We collect order information
and a customer’s credit card information, where applicable, in order to
facilitate shipment and payment of the publication.

Visitors are also able to send emails via the site. Their messages will contain
the user’s screen name and email address, as well as any additional information
the user may wish to include in the message. Because we use the website as a
recruiting tool, a visit to the website may also result in the user sending a
resume to an individual within PwC.

PwC’s intention is not to seek any sensitive information through our website
unless legally required for recruiting purposes. Sensitive information includes
a number of types of data relating to race or ethnic origin, political opinions,
religious or other similar beliefs, trade union membership, physical or mental
health, sexual life or criminal records. We suggest that you do not provide
sensitive information of this nature. If you do wish to provide sensitive
information for any reason, PwC assumes your explicit consent to use that
information in the ways described in this Privacy Statement or as described at
the point where you choose to disclose this information.

Unless we are asked not to, we may also use your data to contact you with
information about PwC’s business, services and events, and other information
that may be of interest to you. Should visitors subsequently choose to
unsubscribe from mailing lists or revoke their registration, we provide
instructions on the related webpage or in our communication to the individual,
or the individual may contact us by email at ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch.

PURPOSES OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

When a visitor provides personal information to us, we use it in connection with
the purposes for which it was provided to us, as stated at the point of
collection (or as obvious from the context of its collection). A user may choose
to provide personal information in the context of the following, among others:

* Ordering publications
* Submitting resumes or work history information
* Participating in ‘join our mailing list’ initiatives
* Participating in bulletin boards, discussion or message forums
* Contacting us for further information
* Filling out quick surveys, quizzes or benchmarking surveys
* Registering for events and conferences
* Registering for premium online services

The data are not shared with other entities in the network for secondary or
unrelated purposes, or shared with a third party other than as described in this
Privacy Statement or otherwise disclosed at the point of collection. If there is
an instance where such information may be shared, the visitor shall be asked for
permission beforehand.

PwC makes every practical effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of
data. If a visitor believes the site has collected excessive information, we
encourage the visitor to contact us at ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch to raise any
concerns.

Except for the mailing list initiative described above, where visitors
explicitly choose to receive specific PwC marketing or other materials, PwC
shall not use personal data collected from our websites to facilitate
unsolicited marketing activities.

COOKIES AND LOG FILES

Cookies may be used on some pages of our site. Cookies are small text files
placed on your hard drive that assist us in providing a more customised website
experience. For example, a cookie can be used to store registration information
in an area of the site so that a user does not need to re-enter it on subsequent
visits to that area. It is PwC’s policy to use cookies to make navigation of our
websites easier for visitors and to facilitate efficient registration
procedures. Site statistics are compiled by third parties and therefore your IP
address will be passed to third parties for statistical reporting only.

If you are concerned about cookies, most browsers permit individuals to decline
them. In most cases, a visitor may refuse a cookie and still be able to navigate
our websites; however, other functionality on the site may be impaired. After
ending a visit to our site, users can delete the cookie from their systems if
they so wish.

To manage our website properly, we may anonymously log information on our
operational systems and identify categories of visitors by aspects such as
domains and browser types. These statistics are reported in aggregate to our
webmasters. This is to ensure that our website presents the best web experience
for visitors and is an effective information resource.

Full details on the cookies used on our website can be found on the cookies
information page.

DATA RETENTION

Some of the information we receive is not retained. For example, usually we do
not keep mail addresses for white papers. Contact information about visitors
(such as information generated though registration for access to areas on the
site) shall be kept as long as the information is required to service the
contact request or until a user requests that we delete that information.
Mailing list information, discussion posts and emails are kept for only the
period of time considered reasonable to facilitate the visitor’s requests.
Resumes are disposed of when they are no longer under consideration or are
considered out-of-date by our Human Capital departments.

When PwC retains personally identifiable information, PwC assumes responsibility
for keeping an accurate record of the information once a visitor has submitted
and verified the data. PwC does not assume responsibility for verifying the
ongoing accuracy of the content of personal information. When feasible in
practice, if PwC is informed that any personal data collected through a website
are no longer accurate, PwC shall make appropriate corrections based on the
updated information provided by the authenticated visitor.

User updates of information should be handled by going back through the
registration process. Inquiries about the accuracy of identifying information
previously submitted to PwC through its websites, or requests to have outdated
information removed, should be directed to ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch. PwC is
committed to providing reasonable and practical access to visitors to allow them
the opportunity to identify and correct any inaccuracies. When requested and
practical, PwC shall delete identifying information from current operational
systems.

CHOICES

As policy, visitors are not required to register to gain access to the areas of
PwC websites. In certain cases, as a visitor’s PwC website experience expands,
we may require in the future that a visitor register in order to obtain a user
ID and password for authentication and secure access to a transaction or to
certain confidential business or proprietary information services on premium
websites.

Personally identifiable information provided to PwC through its websites is
provided voluntarily by visitors. Should visitors subsequently choose to
unsubscribe from mailing lists or revoke their registration, we provide
instructions on the related webpage or in our communication to the individual,
or the individual may contact us by email at ch_swiss_data_privacy@pwc.ch.

CHILDREN

PwC understands the importance of protecting children’s privacy, especially in
an online environment. Our website is not intentionally designed for or directed
at children 16 years of age or younger. It is PwC’s practice never knowingly to
collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 16.

We are a community of solvers combining human ingenuity, experience and
technology innovation to deliver sustained outcomes and build trust.

It all adds up to The New Equation.
