By submitting personal data to Perquiro, you accept PricewaterhouseCoopers'
use of such data as described in this privacy statement explicitly and unambiguously.

This disclaimer and other text used in this database system are in English.
If you are not sure that you understand the language used in this disclaimer or any other part of the database system then we recommend that you do
not use the features of this database and ask the contact people mentioned on the ‘contact us’ page of Perquiro for clarifications. Translations of
the disclaimer text may be requested from the people mentioned on the ‘contact us’ page of Perquiro in German, French and Dutch as the legal languages

Purpose of the Database System
The purpose of this Database System is to provide its
members the platform to offer their personal data for the purpose of being used by a select number of staff of PricewaterhouseCoopers network of firms.
The staff of PricewaterhouseCoopers network of firms who get access to use and process data of other users of the database are authorised to use it
after consent from PricewaterhouseCoopers EU Services EESV.
Processing of data for any purposes not mentioned clearly to the users of the database or
left ambiguous to the users of the database is strongly discouraged by us and may not meet applicable local or International laws.
Collection
of data
"Personal data" means information about you and/or third parties (where required by law, a third party could be a legal entity represented
by you e.g. where you submit data to us about your employer or a client company).
When you visit Perquiro and in the course of providing products or
services to you, we may collect personal data either:
(i) directly where you are asked to provide data, such as when you register, use any subsequent
features of the system; or
(ii) indirectly, such as using cookies (as described below) or customizing software to tailor the site to your preferences or
to track your use of certain pages of the Database System (e.g. your internet protocol address) and other technical means to monitor your use of the Database
System or from third parties who provide us with information about you.
If you decide to register and obtain services or information using this System you
may be asked to fill in certain boxes with information about yourself or others. You do not have to fill in the "optional" boxes - if you don't, we will still
register you or process your order or question but it is always helpful for us to receive this optional data as it may help us to understand your particular
needs. You must fill in the "mandatory" boxes marked * as otherwise we may not be able to register you or process your order or question. We will only ever
collect, hold, process, use, communicate and/or disclose such personal data, whether optional or not, in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
If you are
acting as an intermediary or otherwise on behalf of a third party or supply us with information regarding a third party (such as your employer or a client
company), you undertake that you are an authorised representative or agent of such third party and that you have obtained all necessary consents from such
third party to the collection, processing, use and disclosure by us of their personal data. Because we are collecting the third party's data from you,
you undertake to make the third party aware of all matters listed in this Privacy Statement, preferably by distributing a copy of this statement to them
or by referring them to our website.
We do not generally seek to collect sensitive data through the Database System. If we do seek to collect such data
we will ask you to consent to the uses we propose to make of the data. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive data you consent to our using those data,
subject to applicable law, for the purposes set out below.
However according to the aim for which Perquiro is set-up, supplying to and using the information
from Perquiro as an intermediary or otherwise on behalf of a third party is strongly discouraged.

Cookies
A cookie is information sent by a Web server to a user's computer and stored there. The information stored

variety of information, including the number of times the user has accessed the site, registration information, and the number of times a user
has seen a particular advertisement on the site.
We may use cookies to help us authenticate your identity as a registered user when you log
on to the Database System. We may also use individual session cookies for each user to track your use of Database System within a single session.

The "help" function on most browsers will have information

However, be aware that if you do disable cookies, you may not be able to register as a user of the Database System nor take advantage of a number of useful
features on the Database System so we would recommend that you use them.

Transfer of data to other countries

PricewaterhouseCoopers' activities, personal data may, subject to applicable law, be transferred internationally to other PricewaterhouseCoopers'
entities world-wide for the purposes described above.

purpose of using Perquiro, located in other countries for the specific purposes described in this Privacy Statement.
Disclosure of data to
other Entities and Individuals
The data will be disclosed to certain types of staff within PricewaterhouseCoopers entities (i.e. staff whose job
it is to process your enquiries and orders or otherwise to administer the Database System and those staff involved in the provision of services and products
which may be of interest to you) and they will only process the data for the purposes identified in this Privacy Statement.
Personal data will also,
subject to applicable Belgian or European Union law, be disclosed:

practices in this policy

policy

personal data via the Database System directly to third parties who supply services to PricewaterhouseCoopers entities in connection with the Database System
(such as authenticating your user details and password or processing credit card details, among others). Before submitting personal you will be informed if
this is the case and whether that entity will process personal data pursuant to this Privacy Statement or another privacy statement and given the name and
contact details of the entity to whom you are submitting personal data.

We will keep your personal data only as
long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement or, if you have registered for the Database System and to the extent
necessary to preserve our rights or allow us to comply with our obligations in relation to your registration, for 7 years from the date your registration is
terminated, whichever comes last.
Security of personal data
We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational
security in order to protect the personal data collected but the nature of the Internet is of course such that the data may flow over networks without appropriate
security measures and may be accessed and used by unauthorised persons.
Please note that this Privacy Statement only covers this Database System, which may
or may not regulate the privacy practices of other web sites that may be accessible through or linked to this Database System. We encourage visitors to review
each site’s privacy statement before disclosing any personal identifying information.
