Any Authorized Entity may process the following categories of personal data:

  1. names, dates of birth and birth place;
  2. contact details and professional addresses (including physical address, email address and telephone number);
  3. account data and other information contained in any document provided by existing or potential investors to the Authorized Entities (whether directly or indirectly);

Any Authorized Entity may, in certain circumstances, combine personal data it receives from an existing or potential investor with information that it collects from, or about such existing or potential investor, as applicable. This will include information collected in an online or offline context.

One or more of the Authorized Entities are “data controllers” of personal data collected in connection with the Funds. In simple terms, this means such Authorized Entities: (i) “control” the personal data that they or other Authorized Entities collect from existing investors, potential investors or other sources; and (ii) make certain decisions on how to use and protect such personal data.

There is a need to process personal data for the purposes set out in this EU Privacy Notice as a matter of contractual necessity under or in connection with the governing agreements of the applicable Funds and associated fund documentation, and in the legitimate interests of the Authorized Entities (or those of a third party) to operate their respective businesses. From time to time, an Authorized Entity may need to process the personal data on other legal bases, including: with consent; to comply with a legal obligation; if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of an existing investor, a potential investor or other data subjects; or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.

A failure to provide the personal data requested to fulfil the purposes described in this EU Privacy Notice may result in the applicable Authorized Entities being unable to provide the services in connection with the governing agreements of the applicable Funds and/or one or more of the investors’ subscription agreements with respect to the applicable Funds.

Purpose of processing

The applicable Authorized Entities process the personal data for the following purposes (and in respect of paragraphs (c), (d) and (f) below, in the legitimate interests of the Authorized Entities):

  1. The performance of obligations under the governing agreements of the applicable Funds and/or one or more investors’ subscription agreements with respect to the applicable Funds (and all applicable anti-money laundering, “know-your-client” and other related laws and regulations), including in assessing suitability of potential investors in the Funds.
  2. The administrative processes (and related communication) carried out between the Authorized Entities in preparing for the admission of investors to the Funds.
  3. Ongoing communication with existing and potential investors and their respective representatives, advisors and agents, (including the negotiation, preparation and signature of documentation), including during the process of admitting potential investors to the Funds.
  4. The ongoing administrative, accounting, reporting and other processes and communication required to operate the business of the Funds in accordance with the governing agreements of the applicable Funds and other applicable documentation between the parties.
  5. Any legal or regulatory requirement.
  6. Keeping existing and potential investors informed about the business of Palistar Capital and its affiliates generally, including offering opportunities to make investments other than to the Funds.
  7. Any other purpose that has been notified, or has been agreed, in writing.

The Authorized Entities monitor communications where the law requires them to do so. The Authorized Entities also monitor communications, where required to do so, to comply with regulatory rules and practices and, where permitted to do so, to protect their respective businesses and the security of their respective systems.

Sharing and transfers of personal data

In addition to disclosing personal data amongst themselves, any Authorized Entity may disclose personal data, where permitted by EU Data Protection Legislation, to other service providers, employees, agents, contractors, consultants, professional advisers, lenders, data processors and persons employed and/or retained by them in order to fulfil the purposes described in this EU Privacy Notice. In addition, any Authorized Entity may share personal data with regulatory bodies having competent jurisdiction over them, as well as with the tax authorities, auditors and tax advisers (where necessary or required by law).

Any Authorized Entity may transfer personal data to a Non-Equivalent Country (as defined below), in order to fulfil the purposes described in this EU Privacy Notice and in accordance with applicable law, including where such transfer is a matter of contractual necessity to enter into, perform and administer the governing agreements of the applicable Funds and/or one or more of the investors’ subscription agreements with respect to the applicable Funds, and to implement requested pre-contractual measures. For information on the safeguards applied to such transfers, please contact Palistar. For the purposes of this EU Privacy Notice, “Non-Equivalent Country” shall mean a country or territory other than (i) a member state of the EEA; 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.

Retention and security of personal data

Palistar and its affiliates consider the protection of personal data to be a sound business practice, and to that end, employ appropriate technical and organizational measures, including robust physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal data in their possession or under their control.

Personal data may be kept for as long as it is required for legitimate business purposes, to perform contractual obligations, or where longer, such longer period as is required by applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Personal data will be retained throughout the life cycle of any investment in the Funds. However, some personal data will be retained after a data subject ceases to be an investor in such Fund.

​Data Subject Rights

​It is acknowledged that, subject to applicable EU Data Protection Legislation, the data subjects to which personal data relates, have certain rights under EU Data Protection Legislation: to obtain information about, or (where applicable) withdraw any consent given in relation to, the processing of their personal data; to access and receive a copy of their personal data; to request rectification of their personal data; to request erasure of their personal data; to exercise their right to data portability; and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making. Please note that the right to erasure is not absolute and it may not always be possible to erase personal data on request, including where the personal data must be retained to comply with a legal obligation. In addition, erasure of the personal data requested to fulfil the purposes described in this EU Privacy Notice, may result in the inability to provide the services required pursuant to the governing agreements of the applicable Funds and/or one or more of the investors’ subscription agreements with respect to the applicable Funds.

​In case the data subject to whom personal data relate disagrees with the way in which their personal data is being processed in relation to the governing agreements of the applicable Funds and/or one or more of the investors’ subscription agreement(s) with respect to the applicable Fund(s), the data subject has the right to object to this processing of personal data and request restriction of the processing. The data subject may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in the relevant jurisdiction.
