Why do we collect your personal data?

We collect your personal data for the purpose of verifying your background in connection with your
employment or application for employment.

Specifically, we will use your personal data to determine your eligibility for employment and/or to meet
Accenture’s contractual relationships with certain clients who may require additional background checks
to be performed.

We will not use your personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes listed in this Notice,
unless it is required or authorized by law, or it is in your own vital interest (e.g. in case of a medical
emergency) to do so.

What personal data will we collect?

We will collect information relating to your identity, which may include (to the extent applicable law
allows):

 your contact details.

 your address history.
 your professional standing.
 your work history.
 your educational history.
 personal references.
 your professional qualifications.
 your driving licence.
 your military record.
 your credit history.
The specific information that will be collected and maintained about you will depend upon the nature of
your role Accenture’s policies, and client(s)’ requirements (if any).

From what sources do we obtain the personal data used to conduct the background verification?

We collect your personal data when you provide it to us during the recruitment process. We will receive
information about you from other sources, such as the referees you provide from previous employment,
education institutions and First Advantage. We combine information that we have about you from various
sources, including the information that you have provided to us.

First Advantage will use any appropriate and reliable source to conduct this research and verification for
the foregoing checks, including but not limited to the following sources: Accenture, current and past
employers, motor vehicle or driving records, military records, identity records, school/educational records
and professional and personal references.

Can you choose not to provide your personal data to Accenture?

Except for certain information that is required by law, your decision to provide any personal data to
Accenture is voluntary.

You may refuse to provide certain personal data but doing so may cause delays to or otherwise impact
Accenture determination of your eligibility for employment or continued employment.

On what legal basis or bases are your personal data processed?

We process your personal data as permitted by applicable data privacy laws and our internal policies.
Specifically, the processing of your data as described in this Notice, is done on the following legal bases
(inclusive without limitation):

 to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including where processing is necessary for the
purposes of performing or exercising obligations or rights which are imposed or conferred by law.
For example, certain roles will require candidates to undergo enhanced levels of screening as a
result of legal requirements in relation to certain areas of the business and/or positions.

 for legitimate business purposes. We use your personal data to carry out the pre-employment
background checks. Pre-employment background checks are required in order that Accenture does
not employ individuals who are considered to present a risk to Accenture which is inconsistent with
Accenture’s expectations and minimum standards for the workplace, including risks to its
personnel, sites and/or confidential information and to assess whether the qualifications of
candidates are appropriate for the role being applied for. Decisions to reject candidates following
pre-employment screening will be made using appropriate evidence and according to Accenture’s
appropriate local policies for employment decisions.

 for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or proceedings.

Do we process any information relating to criminal convictions and offences?

In the context of the background verification, we may process certain information relating to criminal
convictions and offences. Such information may be obtained from criminal conviction records and by
contacting law enforcement and governmental agencies to check civil and criminal records.
Criminal background checks are required for certain individuals whose career level, role, or access to secure
locations are considered to present a risk to Accenture’s or its clients’ personnel, sites and/or confidential
information. Decisions taken on these results will be made using appropriate evidence and according to
Accenture’s appropriate local policies for employment decisions.

Who has access to your personal data?

Within Accenture, only those with a need to know will have access to the results of your background report.

We may also provide your personal data to third parties if we need to do so to carry out the research and
verification or where required in the context of a client engagement, including:

 approved third party service providers, including First Advantage (note that only personnel of First
Advantage who have a need to know will have access to your personal data solely for the purposes
as described in this Notice of researching and creating a background check report for Accenture).

 our professional advisors and auditors.

 current and previous employers, educational institutions, referees or First Advantage’s

representatives who are performing specific research in connection with your background
verification.

 in the context of a client engagement, where our client requests to review the results of the
background check.

All such third parties are generally subject to contractual obligations in relation to the processing of your
personal data and your background report will limited to those personnel with a need to know.
