Privacy Collection Statement – Users

By using Vibe Surveys, you agree to us using your personal information including sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act), in accordance with our privacy policy, which is available at www.pwc.com.au/privacy, and this statement which you acknowledge you have read and understood.
Where you provide us with personal information about others, you agree to inform the individual that the information is being collected and why, how it will be used and the matters outlined in this statement.

Who do we collect the personal information from?

As a User of Vibe Surveys your personal information (being information or an opinion about you) will be collected, held and used by us. You agree to provide accurate, complete and up to date information to us, and to keep that information up to date as it changes.

For what purposes do we collect personal information?

We may collect personal information about you for the purpose of providing Vibe Surveys to you, for our internal business purposes, as part of our services to our clients or the purposes set out in our privacy policy. If you do not provide this information to us, we may not be able to do such things or may be restricted in the way we can do them.

Who may we disclose personal information to?

We may disclose your personal information to our practice and our service companies, regulators and other government bodies or as required by law, other firms within the PwC network, clients, service providers, contractors and other organisations and persons set out in our privacy policy.

Disclosure overseas

In addition to disclosures permitted under our privacy policy, you consent to us disclosing your personal information to other firms within the PwC network, to our clients, to service providers that provide services to us, and to any data host in relation to Vibe Surveys. Any of these recipients of your personal information may be located outside Australia and may not be required to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles governing overseas disclosure. In that case, they will not be accountable under the Privacy Act, and you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act. Those recipients may not be subject to any privacy obligations similar to the Australian Privacy Principles or any privacy obligations. Where a recipient is located overseas, you may not be able to seek redress in the overseas jurisdiction or may experience significant difficulties in doing so. The overseas recipient may be subject to foreign laws that require it to disclose your personal information to a third party such as a government authority or regulator.
Our privacy policy explains how to contact our privacy officer, and our approach to requests, enquiries or complaints regarding personal information that we hold about you.
