In connection with offering, forming and operating private investment funds for potential investors, the applicable fund, its general partner, Cressey, their affiliates and, in each case, their administrators, legal and other advisors and agents (collectively, the “Authorized Entities”) collect, record, store, adapt and otherwise process and use personal data either relating to potential investors or to their partners, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, ultimate beneficial owners, lenders, finance providers, or affiliates or to any other data subjects from the following sources (and all references to “potential investor(s)” in this Privacy Notice shall be to such potential investor(s) and, as applicable, any of these other persons as relate to such potential investor(s)):

Any Authorized Entity may, in certain circumstances, combine personal data it receives from a potential investor with information that it collects from, or about such potential investor. This will include information collected in an online or offline context.
One or more of the Authorized Entities are “data controllers” of personal data collected in connection with the applicable fund(s). In simple terms, this means such Authorized Entities: (i) “control” the personal data that they or other Authorized Entities collect from potential investors or other sources; and make certain decisions on how to use and protect such personal data.
There is a need to process personal data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice as a matter of contractual necessity under or in connection with the applicable agreement of limited partnership or other governing agreement (the “ Partnership Agreement”) and associated documentation for the fund(s) in which the data subject has or may invest, and in the legitimate interests of the Authorized Entities (or those of a third party) to operate their respective businesses. From time to time, an Authorized Entity may need to process the personal data on other legal bases, including: with consent; to comply with a legal obligation; if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of a potential investor or other data subjects; or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.
A failure to provide the personal data requested to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice may result in the applicable Authorized Entities being unable to provide the services in connection with the terms of the Partnership Agreement and/or the subscription agreement for such fund (the “Subscription Agreement”).
Purpose of processing;
The applicable Authorized Entities process the personal data for the following purposes (and in respect of paragraphs (3), (4) and (5), in the legitimate interests of the Authorized Entities):
- The performance of obligations under the Partnership Agreement and/or the Subscription Agreement (and all applicable anti-money laundering, KYC and other related laws and regulations) in assessing suitability of potential investors in the applicable fund.
- The administrative processes (and related communication) carried out between the Authorized Entities in preparing for the admission of investors to the applicable fund.
- Ongoing communication with potential investors, their representatives, advisors and agents (including the negotiation, preparation and signature of documentation) during the process of admitting potential investors to the applicable fund.
- The ongoing administrative, accounting, reporting and other processes and communication required to operate the business of the applicable fund in accordance with the Partnership Agreement and other applicable documentation between the parties.
- Any legal or regulatory requirement.
- Keeping investors informed about the business of the general partner of the applicable fund and its affiliates generally, including offering opportunities to make investments other than to the applicable fund.
- Any other purpose that has been notified, or has been agreed, in writing.
The Authorized Entities monitor communications where the law requires them to do so. The Authorized Entities also monitor communications, where required to do so, to comply with regulatory rules and practices and, where permitted to do so, to protect their respective businesses and the security of their respective systems.
Sharing and transfers of personal data
In addition to disclosing personal data amongst themselves, any Authorized Entity may disclose personal data, where permitted by EU and UK Data Protection Legislation, to other service providers, employees, agents, contractors, consultants, professional advisers, lenders, data processors and persons employed and/or retained by them in order to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. In addition, any Authorized Entity may share personal data with regulatory bodies having competent jurisdiction over them, as well as with the tax authorities, auditors and tax advisers (where necessary, required by or advisable to comply with law).
Any Authorized Entity may transfer personal data to a Non-Equivalent Country (as defined below), in order to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice and in accordance with applicable law, including where such transfer is a matter of contractual necessity to enter into, perform and administer the Partnership Agreement and Subscription Agreement, and to implement requested pre-contractual measures.
For information on the safeguards applied to such transfers, please contact the Chief Compliance Officer of Cressey at either: kgillen@cresseyco.com or compliance@cresseyco.com.
For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, “Non-Equivalent Country” shall mean a country or territory other than: (i) a member state of the EEA; (ii) the UK; or (iii) a country or territory which has at the relevant time been decided by the European Commission in accordance with EU and UK Data Protection Legislation to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data.
Retention and security of personal data
Cressey and its affiliates consider the protection of personal data to be a sound business practice, and, to that end, employ appropriate technical and organizational measures, including robust physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal data in their possession or under their control.
Personal data may be kept for as long as it is required for legitimate business purposes or to perform contractual obligations, or, where longer, such longer period as is required by applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Personal data will be retained throughout the life cycle of any investment in a fund managed by Cressey. However, some personal data will be retained after a data subject ceases to be an investor in such fund.
Data Subject Rights
It is acknowledged that, subject to applicable EU and UK Data Protection Legislation, the data subjects to which personal data relates, have certain rights under EU and UK Data Protection Legislation: to obtain information about, or (where applicable) withdraw any consent given in relation to, the processing of their personal data; to access and receive a copy of their personal data; to request rectification of their personal data; to request erasure of their personal data; to exercise their right to data portability; and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making. Please note that the right to erasure is not absolute and it may not always be possible to erase personal data on request, including where the personal data must be retained to comply with a legal obligation. In addition, erasure of the personal data requested to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice may result in the inability to provide the services required pursuant to the Partnership Agreement and Subscription Agreement.
In case the data subject to whom personal data relate disagrees with the way in which their personal data is being processed in relation to the Partnership Agreement or Subscription Agreement, the data subject has the right to object to this processing of personal data and request restriction of the processing. The data subject may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in the relevant jurisdiction.
The data subject may raise any request relating to the processing of his or her personal data with the Chief Compliance Officer of Cressey at either kgillen@cresseyco.com or compliance@cresseyco.com.
