Notice of Right to Opt Out of Sale/Sharing and Notice of Right to Limit
Last updated: December 22, 2022
Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are located, you may have the right to opt out of the sale/sharing of your personal information and limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information.
Right to opt out of sale/sharing
Under California law, a “sale” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third party (other than a service provider or contractor) in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising.
In most cases, PwC does not sell or share personal information, and in no circumstances do we sell or share personal information we collect from our clients, business contacts, personnel, sourcing and recruitment applicants, independent contractors, website and application users (other than as disclosed under Cookies below), event attendees, office visitors or others who get in touch with us. PwC does not sell or share the personal information of minors that it knows are under 18 years of age.
PwC does offer certain services that involve the provision of information to our clients in a manner that may be deemed a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law.
