Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 2021

DATA PRIVACY NOTICE

The purpose of this Data Privacy Notice is to provide you with information on our use of Personal Data (as defined below). Our privacy practices are founded on global best practices based on international privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Cayman Islands Data Protection Law, 2017 (the “DPL”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA” and, together with GDPR and the DPL, the “Data Protection Legislation”).

In this Data Privacy Notice, “we”, “us” and “our” refers collectively to Altamont Capital Management, L.P. and its affiliates (together, “Altamont”), including investment funds managed, advised or administered by Altamont (each, a “Fund”). Our privacy commitment may apply differently in the context of any particular entity, but Altamont holds itself to a unified standard for the protection of Personal Data.

This Notice applies to all natural persons who are not covered by either our Investor Privacy Notice for Natural Persons or our Employee Privacy Notice. If you are an institutional investor that provides us with Personal Data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation to your investment with us, the content of this Data Privacy Notice applies to such individuals also (and you should provide a copy of this Notice to such individuals or otherwise advise them of its content) unless otherwise exempted pursuant to applicable law.

This Data Privacy Notice is sometimes referred to as our “Online Privacy Policy” and can be accessed online at https://www.altamontcapital.com/privacy-policy/. Our Online Privacy Policy applies only to www.altamontcapital.com and does not apply to any website or application to which it may link, such as the websites of our Portfolio Companies. Should you choose to visit those websites or applications, you should review their privacy policies to ensure that you are comfortable with them.

“Personal Data” as used in this Notice means personal information that reasonably can be used to identify any individual person. For example, we obtain Personal Data about investors when an investor participates in a Fund (including through the initial application and ongoing interactions with the Fund and persons engaged by the Fund) and about individuals connected with investors (for example directors, trustees, employees, representatives, shareholders, investors, clients, beneficial owners or agents) when investors provide us with personal information about those individuals. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

These may include websites; bankruptcy registers; tax authorities; governmental agencies and departments and regulatory authorities to whom we have regulatory obligations; credit reference agencies; sanctions screening databases; and fraud prevention and detection agencies and organizations, including law enforcement.

We may use cookies and other technologies in connection with maintaining the security of our website, but no such technology stores any Personal Data. Our website does not respond to Do Not Track Signals.

How we Use your Personal Data

We collect, store and use your Personal Data for business or commercial purposes to which you have consented, and in addition, use for the following:

Processing that is necessary for the performance of a contract, including:

Sharing your Personal Data

We do not sell any Personal Data to unaffiliated third-parties and have not sold any Personal Data, including no sales of Personal Data of minors under 16 years of age, in the past 12 months.

We may share your Personal Data with our agents and service providers. In certain circumstances we may be legally obliged to share your Personal Data with relevant regulatory authorities, administrative agencies, law enforcement agencies, ombudsmen or other oversight bodies such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, the Tax Information Authority or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They, in turn, may exchange this information with foreign authorities, including tax authorities and other applicable regulatory authorities.

Our agents and service providers may process your Personal Data on our behalf, including with our banks, accountants, auditors and lawyers, which may be data controllers in their own right. Our service providers are generally processors acting on our instructions. Additionally, a service provider may use your Personal Data where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which it is directly subject (for example, to comply with applicable anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing laws).

We may share your Personal Data with prospective creditors of a Fund or future or present portfolio company of a Fund, with portfolio companies directly, or with a third party that acquires, or is interested in acquiring, all or a substantial part of our assets or equity interests, or that succeeds us in carrying on all or a part of our business. In exceptional circumstances, we may share your Personal Data in connection with the investigation and assertion of legal rights.

Sending your Personal Data Internationally

If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that the Personal Data we collect will be processed and stored in the United States. The European Commission has deemed that the United States does not offer the same level of data protection as the European Union. Other jurisdictions where you reside or are a citizen or where a Fund is established may similarly determine the same with respect to the data protection and privacy laws of that jurisdiction.

In cases where your personal data is transferred to jurisdictions that do not offer equivalent protection of Personal Data as under the Data Protection Legislation, we will process personal data or procure that it be processed in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation, which may include having appropriate contractual undertakings in legal agreements with service providers who process personal data on our behalf. We will ensure application of the same standards of privacy protection as set out in this Data Privacy Notice regardless of the international transfer or processing of personal data.

Retention and Deletion of your Personal Data

We will keep your Personal Data for as long as is consistent with the purposes for which we are processing it. For example, we may require it for our legitimate business purposes, to perform our contractual obligations, or where law or regulation obliges us to. We will generally retain an investor’s Personal Data throughout the lifecycle of the relevant investment. We will retain some

Personal Data after your relationship with us ends. We expect to delete your Personal Data (at the latest) once there is no longer any legal or regulatory requirement or legitimate business purpose for retaining your Personal Data.

Automated Decision-making

We do not take decisions producing legal effects concerning you, or otherwise significantly affecting you, based solely on automated processing of your Personal Data, unless we have considered the proposed processing in a particular case and concluded that such processing is appropriate.

How do we Protect Personal Data?

We apply technical, physical, and administrative information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of Personal Data, and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, Personal Data, although we cannot guarantee that these will always be effective.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 18, and we do not target children under the age of 18.

Data Subject Rights

Individuals in Australia, California, Canada, Cayman Islands, Europe, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and certain other jurisdictions, and investors in our Cayman Islands Funds, may have certain data subject rights. These rights vary, but may include a right to:

  • be informed about the purposes for which your Personal Data are processed;
  • access your Personal Data, including requesting us to disclose to you the Personal Data we have collected, used and disclosed about you during the past 12 months;
  • stop direct marketing;
  • restrict the processing of your Personal Data;
  • have incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data corrected;
  • ask us to stop processing your Personal Data;
  • be informed of a Personal Data breach;
  • complain to a data protection ombudsman;
  • obtain a copy of your Personal Data in a portable format;
  • opt out of the sale of Personal Data; and
  • require us to delete your Personal Data in some limited

How to Exercise your Data Subject Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also be entitled to direct any complaints in relation to our processing of Personal Data to your national or local data protection supervisory authority, or to the Cayman Islands Ombudsman, if the complaint is in relation to a Cayman Islands Fund. Please consult local authorities.

Individuals who submit requests for access or erasure of personal information will be required to verify their identity by answering certain questions. We will not disclose or delete any information until such individual’s identity is verified. If you are making a request for access, we may not be able to provide specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of your personal information, your account with us, or our systems or networks. If you are making a request for erasure, we will ask that you confirm that you would like us to delete your personal information again before your request is submitted. In certain circumstances, we may not erase all personal information, as permitted by applicable law.

You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf by providing that agent with your signed permission to do so. If an agent makes a request on your behalf, we may still ask that you verify your identity directly with us and directly confirm with us that you provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request before we can honor the request. Agents who make requests on behalf of individuals will be required to verify the request by submitting signed authorization from the individual. We will not honor any requests from agents until authorization is verified.

California Disclosures

In the preceding 12 months, we have collected and used Personal Data in the manner described above in the sections “Notice of Collection and Use of Personal Data – What Categories of Personal Data we Collect; – How we Collect your Personal Data; – How we Use your Personal Data.” We may have disclosed to third parties for our business purposes all of the categories of Personal Data as described above in that section. We will not discriminate against you for exercising data subject access rights.

California’s “Shine the Light” law permits California residents to annually request and obtain information free of charge about what personal information is disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not share personal information with outside parties for their direct marketing.
