Privacy statement - PwC events
Introduction
This privacy statement describes how and why PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collect and uses your personal data in connection with our events. It sets out information about your rights as a user of our events registration system and as an attendee at our events (“you”, “user” or “individual”).
Changes to this privacy statement
We recognise that transparency is an ongoing responsibility so we will keep this privacy statement under regular review.
Collection and use of personal data
We will collect the following personal data fields provided by you in connection with your registration for and attendance at our events:
- Name;
- Job title and professional information;
- Your organisation or educational institution;
- Contact information, including email address(es), work (and sometimes home) address, and telephone number(s);
- Any dietary, accessibility or other requirements, where applicable;
- Guest details; and
- Other information specific to the event such as breakout session choices.
We will use your personal data to manage registration, attendance and participation at our events and to ensure that any special requirements that you request are communicated to any relevant third party providers, where required.
We may take photographs in public areas at our events and we may use these in our marketing materials.
We also obtain your explicit consent when collecting and using any personal data which may relate to religious or philosophical beliefs or health data (such as dietary or accessibility requirements) where such data may be considered as special category data.
Lawful basis for processing
Our lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in offering and promoting client and associated services, and performance of a contract, in order to make sure that your requirements are met when attending our events. Where we process your special category data, we will do so only with your explicit consent.
Where your details are included on our customer relationship management system as a business contact, further information about our use of your personal data is set out in the Business Contacts section of our Privacy Statement.
Third party organisations that provide venues and catering for us
Where we use an external venue to host an event or an external catering company, we will share with them any dietary or access requirements that you provide to us, so that we are able to meet your attendance requirements.
For details of our recruitment events, please see the Recruitment section of our Privacy Statement.
Data retention
We will retain your data for two years from the date of your last interaction with our events management registration system (hosted by One Clipboard Inc, d.b.a Splash), after which your personal data will be anonymised.
