2. Why we collect your personal data:

Lawful grounds for processing:

2.1 The Processors are entitled to hold and process your personal data on the following lawful grounds:
2.1.1 the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of the Fund, provided that your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests;
2.1.2 where the applicant is a natural person, the processing is necessary to comply with our respective contractual duties to you under the terms of your investment in the Fund and all supplemental agreements thereto;

2.1.5 (on rare occasions) where it is needed in the public interest.

Some of the grounds for processing described above will overlap and there may be several grounds which justify our use of your personal data.

Inaccurate or Amended Information

2.2 Please let us know if any of your personal data (including correspondence details) changes as soon as possible. Failure to provide accurate information or to update changed information may have a detrimental impact upon your investment, including the processing of any subscription or redemption instructions or the suspension of your account. Failure to provide information where
the same is required for anti-money laundering, pursuant to automatic exchange of information agreements, or other legal requirements means that your ability to trade in or to continue to own
your shares may be restricted.

Purposes of processing

2.3 Pursuant to paragraph 2.1, the Processors may process your personal data for the purposes set out below (“Purposes“). Those based wholly or partly on our legitimate interests are set out in
paragraphs 2.3.1 to 2.3.6 inclusive:

(b) for investigation and fraud prevention purposes, for crime detection, prevention, investigation and prosecution of any unlawful act (or omission to act); and
(c) to enforce or defend the Processors’ respective rights, or through third parties to whom we each may delegate such responsibilities or rights in order to comply with a legal or regulatory obligations imposed on each of us;

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with
the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we
may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where these are required or permitted by law.

2.4 To the extent that such personal data contains special category data such as, for example: data relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, religious or philosophical belief, trade union
membership or criminal data then the processing of such data shall solely be for the purpose of complying with any duty imposed on a Processor by an enactment including, but not limited to,
legislation and regulatory obligations relating to anti-money laundering and combatting the financing of terrorism and all other related legislation.

2.5 None of the Processors make decisions about you based on automated processing of your personal data.

3. Sharing personal data

3.1 The Processors may share your personal data with group companies and third parties (including bank, financial institution or other third party lenders, IT service providers, auditors and legal
professionals) under the terms of any appropriate delegation or contractual arrangement. Those authorised third parties may, in turn, process your personal data abroad and may have to disclose
it to foreign authorities, for example to help them in their fight against crime and terrorism.

3.2 Data processing (as described above) may be undertaken by any entity in the Bailiwick of Guernsey or the European Economic Area (the “EEA”), an entity which is located outside the
Bailiwick of Guernsey or the EEA in a Third Country without Adequacy.

Any Third Country without Adequacy to which we transfer your data is legally not deemed in general to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information. However, to
ensure that your personal data receives an adequate level of protection we will put in place the following appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is treated by those
third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the EU laws and the laws of the Bailiwick of Guernsey on data protection. Any entity having access to your personal data outside
Guernsey or the EEA will be required by binding legal contract to protect and only process your data as though it were in the EEA or Guernsey and subject to the same level of protection as applies in those territories.

4. Retention of personal data

4.1 Your personal data will be retained for the longest of the following periods:

4.1.1 for the Processors and/or any authorised third parties to carry out the Purposes for which the data was collected or as long as is set out in any relevant agreement you enter into with us;
4.1.2 in order to establish or defend legal rights or obligations or to satisfy any reporting or accounting obligations;
4.1.3 seven years following the Data Subject’s disinvestment from the Fund or at the point from when the business relationship with the Fund has ceased; or
4.1.4 any retention period that is required by data protection laws and any applicable laws or regulatory requirements.

4.2 We endeavour and require all third parties with access to your personal data, to store such data securely on computer systems in accordance with accepted market standards.

4.3 Whilst we have taken every reasonable care to ensure the implementation of appropriate technical and security measures, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data over the internet, via email or via our websites nor do we accept, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any liability for any errors in data transmission, machine, software or operating error or any other cause.

5. Your rights

5.1 You have, under certain circumstances, the following rights in respect of personal data:

5.1.1 the right to access and port personal data;
5.1.2 the right to rectify errors in personal data;
5.1.3 the right to restrict the use of personal data;
5.1.4 the right to request that personal data is erased;
5.1.5 the right to object to processing of personal data;
5.1.6 where the Processors have relied on consent to process the personal data, the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us via the contact details below;

5.1.8 you have the general right to object to the processing of your data where we have considered this to be necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests.

5.2 You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Guernsey Data Protection Authority if you consider that the processing of your personal data carried out by the Fund, the Administrator of
any other service provider to the Fund, has breached data protection laws. You may also appeal to certain courts against (i) any failure of the Guernsey Data Protection Authority to give written
notice of whether the complaint is either being investigated or not being investigated and where applicable, the progress and the outcome of the investigation and (ii) a determination of the
Guernsey Data Protection Authority not to investigate the complaint or a determination that a controller or processor has not breached or is not likely to breach an operative provision in connection with the complaint.

5.3 In limited circumstances we may approach you for your written consent to allow us to process certain particularly sensitive data or to use data for another purpose. Where you may have
provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any
time. To withdraw your consent, please contact the Administrator. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information
for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
