Privacy Statement

General

This Privacy Notice sets out how we obtain and use personal data about you before and after your relationship with us, in accordance with the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017 (“the Guernsey DP Law”) and in accordance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (“GDPR”).

Admina Fund Services Limited (“Admina”) may act as a “data controller” within the meaning of the GDPR and the Guernsey DP Law.

As a data controller we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use your personal data and we are required under the data protection legislation detailed above to notify you of the information contained in this privacy notice.

Admina Fund Services Limited will not be the controller of all personal data it receives and instead may be a data processor (within the meaning of the GDPR and the Guernsey DP Law) of personal data it receives, so where your personal data is being collected by or on behalf of other parties, we recommend that you take note of who the controller of that data will be and read their privacy notice.

This notice applies to clients, investors, shareholders, limited partners, beneficiaries and other trust or foundation parties, service providers, business referrers, intermediaries and other contacts of Admina (whether current, prospective, declined, exited or former) and users of our website. We may update this Notice at any time.

Any questions in relation to this Privacy Notice or requests in respect of personal data should be directed to dp@admina.gg in the first instance.

Purposes of processing

We collect and process data, including personal data, for the following purposes. This table also confirms the lawful basis we are relying on in each case:

The data sought will vary and the purposes for collecting and processing will overlap depending on the type of services provided.

Change of purpose

We will only process your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to process it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to process your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note: we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

Failure to provide personal data

If you fail to provide certain personal information and data when requested, we may not be able to fulfil the contract we have entered into for you, or on your behalf, or provide the services requested or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations.

Sources of personal data

The sources of data may include clients, data subjects directly, introducers, intermediaries, advisers, third parties connected to the data subject (for example: family member, employer or another service provider who provides services to the data subject) or open-source material.

We collect personal data via the completion of forms provided to you and completed by you, from documents provided including due diligence documents, from correspondence including email, from meetings and telephone conversations.

We will collect personal data throughout the course of our business relationship or while we provide services to clients connected to you.

Recipients of personal data

We share information with other companies within the Admina Group and with third parties including third party service providers where required by law, where it is necessary to administer our business relationship, where it is necessary for us to provide the services to you or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

The following are potential recipients of personal data (in each case including respective employees, director and officers):

• Other companies within the Admina Group

When Admina engages a third party to process your personal data, we will require them to process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and protect the data against unauthorised or accidental use, access, disclosure, loss or destruction. We do not allow them to use your personal data for their own purposes. They will only be permitted to process your personal data for a specified purpose and in accordance with our instructions. Where they no longer need your personal data to fulfil the contract, they will need to transfer the data back to us and/or destroy or delete any data held by them.

Transferring data outside of Guernsey and the EU

In the event any of the third parties detailed above are outside of Guernsey, and the EU and where we are transferring personal data which would be protected under the Guernsey DP Law or GDPR we will ensure that we meet the relevant requirements prior to carrying out such a transfer. This may include only transferring the data where we are satisfied that:

• The non-European Union country has Data Protection laws similar to the Laws in Guernsey and the European Union for example: the UK or Jersey

• The recipient has agreed through contract to protect the information to the same Data Protection standards as Guernsey and the European Union or

• We have obtained consent from the relevant data subjects to the transfer

Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, altered, disclosed, used or accessed without authorisation. In addition, we restrict access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, consultants and other third parties who have a business need to access the data. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally obliged to do so.

Data Retention

Admina only keeps data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes (as set out above) for which we collected it. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential for harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which we process the personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Once our business relationship ends, we will retain your personal data for a period of 6 years, and then securely destroy your personal data, in accordance with our record retention and destruction policy unless there is an applicable legislation and/or regulatory requirement to keep the data for longer.

• Right of access — you have the right to request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing that data.
