PRIVACY POLICY

In this Policy, “Equistone”, “we”, “us” and “our”, refer to each of Equistone
Partners Europe Limited, registered in the United Kingdom with registered office
One New Ludgate, 60 Ludgate Hill, London, England, EC4M 7AW and the funds which
it manages (as listed in paragraph 12 hereto (each a “Fund” and, together, the
“Funds”)). Equistone Partners Europe Limited's company registration number is
01125740.

Equistone is committed to safeguarding information from which any individual can
be identified, such as names, contact details and ID data (“Personal
Information”), which is provided to us or which we obtain relating to any
individuals (“you”), including its clients, investors, any other individuals
with whom it interacts and all visitors to the website: www.equistonepe.com (the
“Website”). To the extent that any Personal Information is collected, it will be
held in confidence in accordance with the Data Protection Legislation (as
defined below). Please read the following Privacy and Cookies Policy which
explains how we use and protect your information.

We will only use Personal Information which is provided to us, or otherwise
obtained by us, as set out in this Policy. We will ensure that your Personal
Information is handled in accordance with the “Data Protection Legislation"
(meaning any law applicable from time to time relating to the processing of
Personal Information and/or privacy as the same may be re-enacted, applied,
amended, superseded, repealed or consolidated, including without limitation, the
UK Data Protection Act 1998, (with effect from 25 May 2018) the General Data
Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, and the Privacy and Electronic
Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003, in each case including any
legally binding regulations, directions and orders issued from time to time
under or in connection with any such law).

By visiting and/or contacting us through the Website (or otherwise engaging with
us, such as for investor relations purposes), you acknowledge that we may
collect, use and transfer your Personal Information as set out in this Policy.
Equistone reserves the right to change this Policy from time to time and you
should therefore check this page frequently to ensure that you are happy with
any changes.

For the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, each of the abovementioned
Equistone entities and any Funds in which you invest are each deemed to be the
“data controllers” in respect of any Personal Information that you provide to us
or we otherwise obtain about you.

This Privacy and Cookies Policy covers:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 


1. PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT FROM YOU

When you engage with us (e.g. sending us emails, contacting us via telephone or
visiting or making an enquiry through the Website), you may provide Personal
Information about yourself including your name and contact details (e.g. your
address, email address and telephone number). If you invest in one the funds
that we manage, you may also provide us with your financial information and
various other necessary Personal Information (e.g. your national insurance,
social security or tax payer identification number, investment history and bank
details). Where you make use of our Website we may also collect information
about your use of the Website (e.g. your IP address and choice of web browser). 
Some of this Personal Information is collected and processed so we can perform a
contract with you, some for the purpose of legal compliance and some for the
purposes of our legitimate business interests (namely to carry out and improve
our business, analyse the use of our Website and services and support our staff
and clients).  

We may occasionally need to record certain telephone calls where we have a
regulatory obligation to do so.  We also track certain emails that we send to
some individuals in order to determine when the email is opened for marketing
purposes.  We do not ordinarily record calls or track emails.

Where you apply for a job with us, we may collect from you and third parties
(where relevant) additional Personal Information such as your CV and any
references. Unless you agree that we can keep such information on file for
future opportunities or we need to retain such information for compliance with
our legal obligations, in the event that you are unsuccessful, we will only
retain this Personal Information for as long as is reasonably necessary to
process your application.

Where you provide Personal Information on behalf of another individual, you are
responsible for notifying that individual that you have provided their Personal
Information to us and directing them to this Policy so they can see how we will
process their Personal Information.

 


2. PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE RECEIVE FROM OTHER SOURCES

We may receive information from third parties who collect Personal Information
from you and pass it on to us. For example: (i) where we are conducting due
diligence on prospective investee companies or deciding whether to invest in
third parties we may also receive Personal Information concerning key personnel;
(ii) our staff may also give us emergency contact information as part of our
emergency scenario planning and may give us details of their dependents and of
other people in relation to their employee benefits arrangements; (iii) where
another individual makes an investment on your behalf, they may provide us with
certain Personal Information to effect the transfer of the investment to you,
such as your name and contact details; (iv) your employer may provide your
Personal Information to us in connection with a service they provide to us or in
connection with services that we provide to our clients; and (v) we may receive
information from past employers and others concerning your employment history
where you apply for a job with us.  Where this is the case the third party is
responsible for informing you that they have shared your Personal Information
with us, directing you to this Policy and obtaining any relevant consents from
you to ensure you are happy with the ways in which your Personal Information
will be used. However, once we are holding it, we will only handle any person's
Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.

 


3. SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

“Sensitive Personal Information” is Personal Information concerning an
individual's (i) racial or ethnic origin, (ii) political opinions, (iii)
religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature, (iv) membership of a
trade union, (v) physical or mental health or condition, (vi) sexual life or
orientation, (vii) commission or alleged commission of any offence or any
proceedings for any offence committed or alleged to have been committed by
him/her, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any court in such
proceedings.

If you provide us with Sensitive Personal Information, the provision of this
information is entirely voluntary and subject to your express consent.  However,
we may be unable to carry out some activities without this information - for
example, we may be unable to process application forms or similar requests. We
will use any Sensitive Personal Information in accordance with the consent you
have given and, where necessary, we may also process such information in the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where we do receive Sensitive Personal Information, we will only keep such
information for as long as strictly necessary in order to comply with our
obligations under the law.

 


4. WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only use your Personal Information in order to (a) manage and administer
your investment or proposed investment in the relevant Fund and any related
accounts on an ongoing basis, in accordance with the contract between you and
the relevant Fund, (b) provide investor relations and support to you in respect
of these services, (c) improve our Website and services, (d) comply with our own
legal and regulatory obligations, including in relation to financial promotion,
applicable anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financial legislation,
the Common Reporting Standard and FATCA, (e) for our internal business
processes, including providing support to our staff and our assessments of
prospective investee companies, and (f) where relevant, process your application
for employment.

Where you have explicitly consented at the time we collected your Personal
Information or where we otherwise have a right to do so, we may also use your
Personal Information to let you know about any of our services that may be of
interest to you and/or inform you about important changes or developments to our
services by email.

Where you or your employer (or any other entity you work for) provides services
to us, you and/or they may provide us with some of your Personal Information in
connection with the provision of the services, such as your name, business
contact details and other ID information. We will only process such Personal
Information in connection with the provision of the services (such as using your
contact details to discuss the services) and in accordance with this Policy. In
addition, where necessary, we may also share your Personal Information with our
investors or other third parties in order to provide our services (e.g. if you
or your business provides investor administration services, we may share your
business contact details with our investors so that they can contact you).

If you change your mind about us using your Personal Information in the ways
described in this Policy, please let us know by e-mailing: privacy@equistone.uk.
You may also opt out of receiving marketing emails from us by following the
instructions outlined in the email.

 


5. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Where it is necessary for the performance of our contract with you or for our
internal business processes, we may share your Personal Information with certain
third parties, such as our Funds' administrator and depositary and other
professional advisers, co-investors, service providers, regulatory bodies,
auditors, technology providers and any duly authorised agents or related,
associated or affiliated companies of the foregoing for the same purposes.

By submitting your Personal Information to us, you acknowledge that such third
parties may receive and process your Personal Information. We ask all third
parties to treat your Personal Information securely and in accordance with this
Policy and will take reasonable steps to enforce this.  We will never sell your
data.

In addition, it may be necessary to disclose your Personal Information if we are
under a duty to disclose your Personal Information in order to comply with any
legal obligation (such as anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist financing
obligations), carry out an internal investigation, enforce our Terms and
Conditions on our Website and any other agreement, or protect the rights,
property, or safety of Equistone, the Funds, our group companies and our
clients, directors, employees or other personnel. This includes exchanging
information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud
protection and prevention. In particular, in order to comply with the Common
Reporting Standard and FATCA, Personal Information may be shared with the tax
authority of the jurisdiction in which the relevant Fund is domiciled. It in
turn may exchange information (including Personal Information and financial
information) with foreign tax authorities (including the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service and foreign tax authorities located outside the European Economic Area).

In exceptional circumstances, if we are sold or merged with another company we
may disclose your information to a potential buyer, including your Personal
Information and other information concerning your relationship with us, so that
they can continue to provide the services you have requested.

 


6. OUR SECURITY MEASURES AND INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN WE DELETE DATA

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as we reasonably require
and, in any event, only for as long as the Data Protection Legislation allows.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not
completely secure and, although we will take steps to protect your Personal
Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information
transmitted via the Website; any transmission is therefore at your own risk.

Some of our premises use CCTV in shared areas for the purpose of crime
prevention.  As this is under the control of a third party you should consult
any notices they display and their privacy statements for more information.

 


7. TRANSFERRING PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF THE EEA

Any Personal Information provided to Equistone will be transferred to and stored
on Equistone's servers in Munich, Germany. Any Personal Information provided to
a Fund will be transferred to and stored in the relevant country set out in the
paragraph of this Policy entitled “Funds Managed by Equistone Partners Europe
Limited”. We take steps to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised
access and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.

In processing your Personal Information, it will sometimes be necessary for us
to transfer your Personal Information outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”)
to our staff and our third-party service providers. It may also be accessed by
staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers or
group companies. This includes people engaged in, among other things, the
provision of support services to us. We will take all steps reasonably necessary
to ensure that your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance
with this Policy and the Data Protection Legislation when it is processed in, or
otherwise accessed from, a location outside the EEA. This means that we will
only transfer your Personal Information to our non-European offices and Funds
and to third parties based outside the EEA if that party (a) is situated in a
country that has been confirmed by the European Commission to provide adequate
protection to Personal Information, (b) has agreed (by way of written contract
incorporating the “model clauses” as approved by the European Commission or by
some other form of data transfer mechanism approved by the European Commission)
to provide all protections to your Personal Information as required by the Data
Protection Legislation or (c) we have your explicit consent to do so (such as
where you have requested a service from one of our Funds situated outside the
EEA). Where any transfer takes place under a written contract, you have the
right to request a copy of that contract and may do so by e-mailing:
privacy@equistone.uk. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the UK is no
longer a part of the EEA, references in this paragraph to the EEA shall mean the
EEA and the UK.

By submitting your Personal Information to us, you acknowledge this transfer,
storing or processing of your Personal Information.

 


8. ACCESSING AND UPDATING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

If you have given us your express consent, or where we otherwise have the right
to do so, we may use your Personal Information for marketing purposes. If we
intend to disclose your Personal Information to any third party for marketing
purposes, we will seek your explicit consent prior to any such transfer. You can
exercise your right to prevent such processing by e-mailing
privacy@equistone.uk.

You are entitled to know some details about the Personal Information we hold
about you and how that information is processed. If you would like to request
this, please e-mail privacy@equistone.uk and we will provide you with the
information to which you are entitled.

You can also ask us to: (a) make any changes to ensure that any Personal
Information we hold about you is accurate and up to date; (b) erase or stop
processing any Personal Information we hold about you where there is no longer a
legal ground for us to hold it; or (c) in some circumstances, transfer any
information we hold about you to a specified third party. If you wish to
exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: privacy@equistone.uk.

 


9. MARKETING

We use Mailchimp as our marketing platform. By subscribing to any of our
marketing materials and submitting your personal data to us, you acknowledge

Personal Information, please e-mail privacy@equistone.uk. Should you wish to

Information Commissioner's Office regarding such issues.
