  2. information about your transactions with us or others;
  3. information captured on our website, including registration information and any information captured via “cookies”; and

We will process the following categories of personal data:

The Authorised Entities are each data controllers of personal data collected in connection with the Funds.

We rely on the legal bases of contractual necessity to provide the services under the Funds and our legitimate interests in operating our businesses, in each case, to process the personal data as set out in Part B of this Privacy Notice. From time to time, we may need to process the personal data on other legal bases, including: with your explicit consent; to comply with a legal obligation; if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of you or other data subjects; or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.

Your failure to provide the personal data requested to fulfil the purposes described in Part B of this Privacy Notice may result in us being unable to provide the services required by you pursuant to the Funds.

Purpose of Processing

We will process the personal data for the following purposes:

  1. for the performance of, or in connection with, the terms of the operation of the Funds, including processing the personal data in connection with credit, anti-money laundering and sanction list checks, identification of a professional investor qualification checks, and for the purpose of complying with the applicable laws in connection thereto;

  5. to enable or administer our funds and for account administration purposes;
  6. where necessary or advisable in connection with applicable law; and
  7. for any other purposes notified to you or agreed in writing with you (as applicable) from time to time.

For the purposes of Part B of this Privacy Notice, “Non-Equivalent Country” shall mean a country or territory other than (i) a member state of the European Economic Area; or (ii) a country or territory which has at the relevant time been decided by the European Commission in accordance with EU Data Protection Legislation to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data.
