Personal Data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) in connection with administering a registered shareholder’s account(s) and / or in anticipation of an applicant for shares becoming a registered shareholder, in accordance with an Individual’s instructions, where an Individual has explicitly consented, and / or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

Many of the countries to which data will be transferred, will be within the EEA, or will be ones which the European Commission has approved, and will have data protection laws which are the same as or broadly equivalent to those in Ireland.

However, some transfers may be to countries which do not have equivalent protections, and in that case the Manager and the Fund shall use reasonable efforts to implement contractual protections for the Personal Data. While this will not always be possible where the Manager or the Fund is required to transfer the Information in order to comply with and perform the contract with an investor or where it has a legal obligation to do so, any transfers will be done in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including through the implementation of appropriate or suitable safeguards in accordance with such applicable data protection laws.

The Manager or each Fund may obtain Personal Data relating to Individuals from someone other than that Individual. This may include Personal Data relating to beneficial owners, partners, directors, officers, employees, advisors or other related persons of an investor or of the person providing the Personal Data. The Personal Data may be obtained from a variety of sources, such as financial advisors to investors, employers of Individuals, and / or direct and indirect service providers to the Fund, such as vendors providing AML and sanctions checking databases. The person providing the information will be asked to warrant that it will only do so in accordance with applicable data protection laws, and that it will ensure that before doing so, the Individuals in question are made aware of the fact that the Manager and each Fund will hold information relating to them and that it may use it for any of the purposes set out in this privacy statement, and where necessary that it will obtain consent to the Manager’s and the Fund’s use of the information. The Manager and the Fund may, where required under applicable law, notify those individuals that they have been provided with their Personal Data and provide a copy of this Privacy Statement to them.

Recipient of the Personal Data

In any case where a Fund shares Personal Data with a third party data controller (including, as appropriate, other members of the Leadenhall Group and the Fund’s service providers), the use by that third party of the Personal Data will be subject to the third party’s own privacy policies.

Updates to Personal Data

The Manager and each Fund will use reasonable efforts to keep Personal Data up to date. However, each Individual will need to notify the Manager and the relevant Fund without delay in the event of any change in his / her personal circumstances, or those of the others mentioned above, so that the Manager and the relevant Fund can keep the Personal Data up to date.

Retention of Personal Data

The Manager and each Fund are obliged to retain certain information to ensure accuracy, to help maintain quality of service and for legal, regulatory, fraud prevention and legitimate business purposes.

It is obliged by law to retain AML related identification and transaction records for six years from the end of the relevant investor relationship or the date of the transaction respectively.
