This notice sets forth the privacy practices of Autonomy and its affiliates and Cayman Islands investment funds (collectively, “Autonomy”) with respect to the personal data of Investors (and directors, officers, employees and/or beneficial owners of investors) in the funds for which Autonomy serves as investment adviser or general partner or in some similar capacity (“Investor Personal Data”). For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, Autonomy is the data controller. The administrator of the funds or its affiliates (collectively, the “Administrator”) may also act as a data controller of Investor Personal Data in connection with the performance of its legal and contractual obligations as Administrator of the funds. For further information you can access the Administrator’s privacy notice at: https://citco.com/footer/privacy-policy/ This Data Privacy Notice only applies to Investors in the EEA, the United Kingdom, Jersey and/or Switzerland, and Investors in our Cayman Islands investment funds. Investors must provide a copy of this Notice to any third parties whose personal data an Investor discloses to Autonomy and/or the Administrator.

Data That May Be Collected. Autonomy and/or the Administrator may collect certain Investor Personal Data, including, without limitation, (a) information received from an Investor, such as social security number, tax identification number, account information and wire transfer instructions and (b) information about an Investor’s transactions with any affiliates of Autonomy or non-affiliated third parties, such as account balances, account numbers and account activity. Autonomy and/or the Administrator may obtain such Investor Personal Data when the Investor makes an investment in an Autonomy fund, provides information on the Investor’s subscription documents and related forms, gives contact information, makes a wire transfer, provides government-issued ID, makes an additional contribution to an Autonomy fund or requests a redemption. Where Autonomy or the Administrator requires Investor Personal Data to comply with legal requirements, failure to provide this information may result in Autonomy terminating its relationship with the Investor.

The provision of Investor Personal Data by an Investor may be necessary for the performance of any contractual relationship with the Investor, for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations, and for the other purposes as set out in this Notice where in the legitimate interests of Autonomy and/or the Administrator. Where Autonomy and/or the Administrator, requires your Personal Data to comply with anti-money laundering or other legal requirements, failure to provide this data means the Investor may not be accepted or may result in the relationship with the Investor being terminated.

Autonomy and/or the Administrator may disclose certain Investor Personal Data: (i) to its affiliates, service providers, such as transfer agents, custodians, broker-dealers, accountants and lawyers, in connection with the oversight, safekeeping, administration, distribution or operation of the funds; (ii) to fraud prevention agencies and law enforcement agencies in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements; (iii) to courts, governmental and non-governmental regulators and ombudsmen; (iv) to any third party that acquires, or is interested in acquiring or securitizing, all or part of Autonomy’s or Administrator’s assets or shares, or that succeeds Autonomy or Administrator in carrying on all or a part of its business, whether by merger, acquisition, reorganization or otherwise; or (v) as required or permitted by law, including to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process or government request, or when Autonomy and/or Administrator believes in good faith that disclosure is legally required or Autonomy and/or Administrator has a legitimate interest in making a disclosure, such as where necessary to protect Autonomy’s and/or Administrator’s rights and property.

Transfer of Investor Personal Data to Third Countries. Autonomy may disclose Investor Personal Data to recipients (including affiliates) located in countries outside of the EEA, the United Kingdom, Jersey and/or Switzerland, including in the U.S., which may not have data privacy laws equivalent to those the EEA, the United Kingdom, Jersey and/or Switzerland (as applicable) (“Third Countries”).

Intra-group international transfers and transfers from our affiliates in the United Kingdom, Jersey and Switzerland to a vendor located in a Third Country, will be made in reliance on EU-style data transfer agreements (so called “Standard Contractual Clauses”).
