4.1    
The Data Controller collects the following categories of Personal Data:

 

  • Identification data: name, age, gender, date and place of birth, nationality, passport/ID number, identity card with photo, civil status, profession, signature.   

  • Contact data: e-mail, address, proof of address, phone number, fax number. 

  • Bank account data: IBAN and BIC codes and other bank account information.

  • Tax related data: Taxpayer identifying/identification number(s), country(ies) of tax residency, tax status and tax certificates.

  • Investors Interests related data: number of Investors Interests and any information regarding the dealing in Investors Interests (subscription, conversion, redemption and transfer as well as balance or value at year-end and total gross amount paid or credited in relation to the Investors Interests, including redemption proceeds).

  • AML/KYC related data:    income, sources of wealth and funds, power of attorney, related parties, special categories of personal data (criminal convictions and offences, political opinions).

  • Communication data: client communications via electronic or other means, telephone conversations recordings.

 

4.2    
The Data Subjects may, at their discretion, refuse to communicate the Personal Data to the Data Controller. In this event however, the Data Controller may reject their request for subscription for Investors Interests in the Partnership if the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to the subscription or holding of such Investor Interests (e.g., certain Personal Data are legally required for FATCA and CRS purposes).

4.3    
In addition, the Data Subjects should refrain from supplying additional Personal Data which are not requested by the Data Controller or any other entity acting on its behalf. Unless provided otherwise by Applicable Law, the Data Controller shall not be liable for any damage caused by the processing of such Personal Data provided by the Data Subjects without being requested by the Data Controller.

4.4    
The Data Subject may at his/her discretion refuse to communicate Personal Data to the Partnership. In this case, however, the General Partner may reject a request for Investor Interests.

 

5. Sources of Personal Data

5.1    
The Personal Data are collected from various sources, namely:

5.1.1.    directly from the Data Subject;
    5.1.2.    from third parties representing the Investor;
    5.1.3.    from third parties representing the Data Controller;
    5.1.4.    from the Data Controller’s service providers;
    5.1.5.    from public registers/platforms;
    5.1.6.    from public agencies/authorities.

 

6. Purposes and legal bases of the data processing

 

6.1    
In accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Laws and the Applicable Laws, the Data Controller collects, records, stores and processes, by electronic or other means, the data, including Personal Data on one of the legal bases set out in article 6 of the GDPR, inter alia:

  • 6.1.1.    the Data Subject has given his/her consent to the processing of his or her Personal Data for one or more specific purposes;

  • 6.1.2.    processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the Data Subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the Data Subject prior to entering into a contract;

  • 6.1.3.    processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the Data Controller is subject;

  • 6.1.4.    processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the Data Subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the Data Subject is a child.

 

6.2    
For the avoidance of doubt, where consent is given by the Data Subjects, such consent shall be construed distinctly from any consent given in the context of confidentiality and/or professional secrecy compliance obligations.

6.3    
In the case at hand, the purposes for which the Personal Data are collected and the legal bases upon which the Data Controller relies are further specified in Appendix A. Where the Data Controller’s purposes change over time or where the latter wants to use Personal Data for new purposes, the Data Controller will inform the Investor of such new processing in accordance with the Data Protection Laws. Nevertheless, where the Data Controller has collected the Personal Data based on consent or following a legal obligation, no further processing is allowed beyond what is covered by the original consent or the provisions of the law.

7. Data Recipients

7.1    
Personal Data may be transferred to other persons or entities (the “Recipients”), which, in the context of the above-mentioned purposes, refer to:

7.1.1.    
affiliated and third-party entities supporting the activities of the Partnership which include, in particular, the AIFM, the depositary, the administrator, registrar and transfer agent, investment manager (if any), investment advisor (if any), distributors, sub-distributors, their Affiliates and any other agents of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any Administrative Agent, Depositary, auditor or legal counsel);


    7.1.2.    other prospective or existing investor;
    7.1.3.    any pledgee in a pledge agreement over the Partnership’s assets;
    7.1.4.    credit institutions;
    7.1.5.    any third party that acquires, or is interested in acquiring or securitising, all or part of the Data Controller’s assets or shares, or that succeeds to it in carrying on all or a part of its businesses, or services provided to it, whether by merger, acquisition, financing, reorganisation or otherwise;
    7.1.6.    any other third party supporting the activities of the Data Controller;
    7.1.7.    governmental, judicial or regulatory agencies, including tax authorities, in or outside the European Union;
    7.1.8    official national and international registers.

 

7.2    
In particular, in compliance with the Foreign Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS), such Personal Data may be disclosed to the Luxembourg tax authorities, which in turn may act as data controller and disclose the same to foreign tax authorities.

 

7.3    
In addition, in compliance with the Luxembourg register of beneficial owners law of 13 January 2019 as amended, the Controller is also required to collect Personal Data of beneficial owners of the Partnership (i.e. any natural person(s) who ultimately own(s) or control(s) the Partnership or any natural person(s) on whose behalf a transaction or activity is being conducted) and make mandatory registrations with the Luxembourg register of beneficial owners.

 

7.4    
The Recipients may, under their own responsibility, disclose the Personal Data to their agents and/or delegates (the “Sub-Recipients”), which shall process the Personal Data for the sole purposes of assisting the Recipients in providing their services to the Data Controller and/or assisting the Recipients in fulfilling their own legal obligations.

 

7.5    
The Recipients and Sub-Recipients may, as the case may be, process the Personal Data as processors (when processing the Personal Data on behalf and upon instructions of the Data Controller and/or the Recipients), or as distinct controllers (when processing the Personal Data for their own purposes, namely fulfilling their own legal obligations).

 

8. Personal Data transfers to third countries

 

8.1    
The Recipients and Sub-Recipients may be located either inside or outside the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) in countries such as the United Kingdom.

 

8.2    
In any case, where the Recipients are located in a country outside the EEA which benefits from an adequacy decision of the European Commission, the Personal Data will be transferred to the Recipients upon such adequacy decision.

 

8.3    
Where the Recipients are located outside the EEA in a country which does not ensure an adequate level of protection for Personal Data, the Data Controller will implement the necessary safeguards, including the conclusion of the EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses in accordance with article 46 GDPR, as well as, if necessary, supplementary measures. Data Processors may transfer Personal Data to their affiliates and agents. The contract between the Data Processors and their sub-contractors shall impose on the subcontractors the same obligations as imposed on the Data Processors in their own contracts with the Partnership.

 

8.4    
In this respect, the Data Subjects have a right to request copies of the relevant document for enabling the Personal Data transfer(s) towards such countries by writing to the Data Controller at the address referred to in section 9.2 below.
