Elm Capital as the controller processes your personal data in compliance with the provisions under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). This Data Protection & Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how we use any personal data we collect about you. What Personal Data do we collect? “Personal Data” is any information relating to you or that we can otherwise link to you. The Personal Data we collect includes but is not limited to, name, role, firm name, email address, LinkedIn profile URL and business address. When you connect to our services, we may log your IP address. How do we collect your Personal Data? We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, for example when you; provide us with your business card; request to be added to our newsletter distribution list via our website; enquire about employment opportunities; respond to requests to submit personal information about yourself (e.g. for due diligence checks); and otherwise contact us, and we keep a record of that correspondence. In some cases, your Personal Data has been supplemented by information retrieved from other sources, including searches via publicly available search engines, sector-specific newsletters and data depositories, social media and your own company’s or employer’s website. How do we use your Personal Data? We use the Personal Data we collect for communication purposes, including to: identify your requirements, deliver services and information, and promote other services which may be of interest to you; contact you for your views on our services and to notify you occasionally about important changes or developments to our services; administer and manage delivery of our services to you; comply with compliance obligations; market to you, for example by sending you email newsletters; and to maintain our list of contacts. The personal information that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us, or by a supplier with such staff. By submitting your personal details, you agree to us potentially transferring, storing and processing your personal information in this way. Why do we process your Personal Data and on what legal basis? As set out above we process your Personal Data for communication and compliance purposes. We rely on our legitimate interests in maintaining business relationships and communicating with you as a business contact about Elm Capital’s activities. We consider that our legitimate interests are in compliance with GDPR and your legal rights and freedoms. Where is your Personal Data stored? The majority of Personal Data that Elm Capital receives is processed and stored on servers in EEA datacentres. In some circumstances, your data may be stored by trusted partners and service providers outside of the EEA, namely on servers located in the United States of America or Canada. In such cases, similar privacy laws exist and a contractual agreement is in place. With whom do we share your Personal Data? In the context of legitimate business interests, we may share your personal data with: third party service providers (“third parties”), such as parties that provide dataroom, CRM and compliance retention services for Elm Capital; and business partners where a contractual agreement is in place; or business partners where a legitimate business interest exists. We will ensure that, where relevant, contractual safeguards are implemented to ensure the protection of your Personal Data when disclosing your Personal Data to a third party. For example, we will enter into data processing agreements with relevant parties (providing for restrictions on the use of your Personal Data and obligations with respect to the protection and security of your Personal Data). The majority of Personal Data that Elm Capital shares with legitimate third parties is processed and stored on servers in EEA datacentres. In some circumstances, and similar to the data we hold directly, your data may be stored by third party trusted partners and service providers outside of the EEA, namely on servers located in the United States of America or Canada. In such cases, proper measures are taken to ensure adequate protection of your Personal Data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. Generally, we will enter into the standard contractual clauses with the recipient of your Personal Data. As a general rule, we do not share your Personal Data with third parties located outside the EEA, United States of America or Canada, which countries may offer a lower level of data protection. How long do we keep your Personal Data? Your Personal Data will be saved for the specified purposes mentioned above for as long as you are a business contact to us or it is subject to compliance obligations. Elm Capital retains all due diligence data for 7 years to ensure compliance obligations are met in respect of its registrations with the FCA and FINRA. Your personal data will be deleted: when it is no longer reasonably required for the specified purposes mentioned above; or you withdraw your consent, in such circumstances where we are not legally required or otherwise permitted to continue storing such data. You can ask us at any time if you no longer wish to receive any and all communications from Elm Capital. Should you wish to cease all communications, you may contact us at donotcontact@elmcapital.com.
