  •  personal and business contact information (such as name, postal and email address, and telephone number);

If you are a Shareholder in the Company then, in addition to the information collected at the application stage (see above), we will hold information on the details of your investment in Oakley Capital Investments Limited, including the number and class of shares or depository interests held, price paid and transfers made.

  • “know your client” information (such as copy passports, driving licences and utility bills, date and place of birth and National Insurance number); and

The types of information we may collect on the Websites includes:

  • personal and business contact information (such as name, postal and email address, and telephone number); and
  • other personal information you submit to us via the Websites.

Information we collect automatically

When you visit our Websites or open our emails, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies, web server logs, web beacons and JavaScript. The information we may collect in this manner includes IP address, network location, browser characteristics, device characteristics, operating system, referring URLs, information on actions taken on our Websites, and dates and times of Website visits. Please see our Cookie Policy for more details.

How do we use your personal information?

We will only use your personal information when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal information in the following circumstances:

  1. To provide a requested service or to perform a contract we have entered into with you (or taking steps with a view to entering into a contract with you);
  2. Where we need to comply with a legal obligation;
  3. Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) (in particular communicating with you, improving our business and services to you, improving our Websites and preventing fraud or misuse of our Websites) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; or
  4. Where we have your consent.

Information relating to potential shareholders

We need the information collected from potential Shareholders (and their representatives and authorised signatories) in order to assess whether you (or the legal entity you represent) are a suitable Shareholder in the Company, to communicate with you and to process any application you make to acquire shares or depository interests in the company. In using your personal information in this way, we are exercising our legitimate interest to attract potential Shareholders and to assess applicants’ suitability as Shareholders. We also have legal obligations to obtain personal information on Shareholders (and certain persons associated with them) under anti-money laundering rules.

Information relating to Shareholders

We need the information collected in relation to Shareholders (and their representatives and authorised signatories) in order to manage your investment, to ensure your legal rights as a Shareholder are respected and to communicate with you. This use of your personal information is therefore for the purposes of carrying out our legal obligations to you as a Shareholder.

Information collected in the course of a business relationship

We may use the personal information described above for the following purposes:

  • where agreed by you, to send you promotional materials, newsletters and other communications and in certain circumstances where we have a legitimate interest in sending you such material by virtue of our business relationship with you and you have not objected to this;
  • to respond to your enquiries in our legitimate interest;
  • to determine whether to acquire or dispose of portfolio companies, and to monitor our existing investments;
  • to perform data analyses in our legitimate interest;
  • to communicate to you about, and manage your participation in, events and programmes in our legitimate interest;
  • to operate, evaluate and improve our business in our legitimate interest;
  • to identify and prevent fraud and other illegal activities in our legitimate interest and in some circumstances where we have a legal obligation to do so;
  • and to enforce and comply with legal rights and obligations, including our terms and conditions.

Information collected via Websites

In addition, we use information collected through cookies and other automated means (within our legitimate interest to improve our Websites and provide you with a better browsing experience) for purposes such as:

  • customizing visits to our Websites; and
  • managing our Websites and other aspects of our business.

We may also use the information described above in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.

Balancing test

Where we rely on our legitimate interest as a ground for processing your personal information, we carry out a ‘balancing test’ to ensure that our processing is necessary and that your fundamental rights of privacy are not outweighed by our legitimate interests, before we go ahead with such processing. We keep a record of these balancing tests. Where you have a right to the information contained in these balancing tests, you can find out more by contacting us using the details below.

How long do we keep your personal information for?

We only retain your information for as long as is necessary for us to use your information as described above, where it is in our legitimate interest, or to comply with our legal obligations. Please be advised that we may retain some of your information after we cease our relationship with you, for instance if this is necessary to meet our legal obligations, such as retaining the information for tax and accounting purposes or to comply with financial services regulations.

When determining the relevant retention periods, we will take into account factors including:

  1. our contractual obligations and rights in relation to the information involved;
  2. legal obligation(s) under applicable law to retain data for a certain period of time;
  3. statute of limitations under applicable law(s);
  4. (potential) disputes;
  5. if you have made a request to have your information deleted;
  6. guidelines issued by relevant data protection authorities; and
  7. in the case of information that is not “sensitive personal information”, where it is reasonable to consider that the individual would not object to the processing, provided such processing does not prejudice their rights

Otherwise, we securely erase your information once this is no longer needed.

Who do we share your personal information with?

Fundraising

Personal information relating to potential Shareholders (and their representatives and authorised signatories) will be shared with third parties who provide services to us in connection with fundraising, such as placing agents, professional advisors, receiving agents and share registrars. These third parties comply with similar and equally stringent undertakings of privacy and confidentiality.

Business processes

In connection with our day to day business processes, we share your personal information with third parties who perform functions on our behalf and who also provide services to us, such as professional advisors (including in connection with the acquisition, holding and disposal of portfolio companies), share registrars, the company secretary, our nominated adviser, IT consultants carrying out testing and development work on our business technology systems and function co-ordinators. These third parties comply with similar and equally stringent undertakings of privacy and confidentiality.

Sharing with group members and affiliates

We may share your personal information amongst our group members and affiliates in connection with the provision of services to you or for internal reasons, such as for business and operational purposes. Our group members and affiliates will only use your personal information for the purposes described in this privacy policy.

Other instances of sharing

As we continue to develop our business, we will sell or purchase assets, including portfolio companies. In the event of the sale of a portfolio company, we may disclose the personal information of persons with a business relationship with that company to potential acquirers and their advisers. If another entity acquires us or merges with us your personal information will be disclosed to such entity.

Where required we share your personal information with third parties to comply with a legal obligation; when we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it;

  • at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation;
  • to verify or enforce contracts or applicable policies;
  • to detect and protect against fraud;
  • or any technical or security vulnerabilities;
  • to respond to an emergency;
  • or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to our websites, our businesses or the public.

What happens if you do not provide us with the information we request or ask that we stop processing your information?

If you do not provide the personal information necessary, or withdraw your consent for the processing of your personal information, where this information is necessary for us to provide services to you, we will not be able to provide these services to you. By way of example, if a potential Shareholder does not provide the personal information necessary to enable us to meet our legal obligations with respect to the maintenance of accurate and complete company records, then we will not be able to accept that potential Shareholder as a Shareholder in the Company.

Do we make automated decisions concerning you?

No, we do not carry out automated decision making.

Do we use cookies to collect personal information?

To provide better service to you on our websites, we use cookies to collect your personal data when you browse. See our Cookie Policy for further details.

Do we transfer your personal information outside Bermuda or the EEA?

We are established and managed in Bermuda. Personal information collected by us is stored and processed in Bermuda for the purposes of our administration and management as a company. Bermuda has enacted the Personal Information Protection Act 2016 (PIPA) for the purposes of regulating the future processing of personal information in Bermuda.

PIPA was drafted with the specific aim of achieving adequacy status and Bermuda has confirmed its intention to apply to the EU for an adequacy decision in due course. There is not yet an adequacy decision by the European Commission in respect of Bermuda.

Your personal information receives an adequate level of protection in compliance with the requirements of PIPA, and we have put in place appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is treated by its recipients in Bermuda in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EU and UK laws on data protection. These measures consist of binding agreements which contains contractual clauses fundamentally equivalent to those created by the EU commission to ensure a personal information transfer from a person within the EEA and a person outside the EEA is lawful and that the data is appropriately protected.

We may also transfer the personal information we collect about you to Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited in Jersey. Jersey is outside Bermuda and the EEA. This transfer is required to manage our branch share register.

An adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission in respect of Jersey. This means that Jersey, as a country to which we transfer your data, is deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information.

What are your rights?

We respect the rights to which you are entitled as an individual under PIPA or the GDPR. Please contact us using the contact details below to exercise any of your rights. Please note that these rights are not without restriction and may not apply in all circumstances. For further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

1. The right to object to processing

You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing for advertising, direct marketing (i.e. if you no longer want to be contacted with potential opportunities) or public relations.

2. The right to be informed

You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights. This is why we’re providing you with the information in this Policy.

3. The right of access

You have the right to obtain access to your information (if we’re processing it), and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Policy) in accordance with section 17 of PIPA.

This is so you’re aware and can check that we’re using your information in accordance with data protection law.

4. The right to rectification

You are entitled to have your information corrected if it’s inaccurate or incomplete.

5. The right to erasure

This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.

6. The right to restrict processing

You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future.

7. The right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal information with the Bermuda Privacy Commissioner.

8. The right to withdraw consent

If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal information with your consent up to that point is unlawful). This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal information for advertising, marketing or public relations purposes.

We usually act on requests and provide information free of charge, however we may charge a reasonable fee (up to any applicable statutory limit) to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for: baseless or excessive/repeated requests, or further copies of the same information. Alternatively, we may be entitled to refuse to act on the request.

Please consider your request responsibly before submitting it. We’ll respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we’ll come back to you and let you know.
