    *******************************
    HOW DO WE SAFEGUARD YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
    • We are committed to taking all reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the personal information that we hold from misuse, loss, or unauthorised access.

    • If you suspect any misuse or loss of or unauthorised access to your personal data please let us know immediately by contacting us at [email protected]
    ********************************

    HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR?

    • We will ordinarily process your data throughout the course of our interactions and will then generally retain it for an appropriate amount of time after we have parted ways, depending on local law requirements and our legitimate business and risk-management needs. The periods of time for which we retain your data will vary depending on the type of data in question and any overarching legal, regulatory or risk-management requirements to retain it for certain minimum periods. We may, for example, be required to retain certain data for the purposes of tax reporting or responding to tax queries. In other instances, there may be some other legal, regulatory or risk-management requirements to retain data, including where certain data might be relevant to any potential litigation (bearing in mind relevant limitation periods). • In determining the appropriate retention period for various types of personal data, in addition to ensuring that we comply with our legal, regulatory and risk-management obligations, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we need to process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
    • Once we have determined that we no longer need to hold your personal data, we will Delete it from our systems.

    ********************************
    HOW CAN YOU ACCESS, AMEND OR TAKE BACK THE PERSONAL DATA THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO US?
    • One of the GDPR’s main objectives is to protect and clarify the rights of EU citizens and individuals in the EU with regards to data privacy. This means that you retain various rights in respect of your data, even once you have given it to us. These are described in more detail below.
    • To get in touch about these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will seek to deal with your request without undue delay, and in any event within one month (subject to any extensions to which we are lawfully entitled). Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.
    • Right to object: this right enables you to object to us processing your personal data where we do so for one of the following four reasons: (i) our legitimate interests; (ii) to enable us to perform a task in the public interest or exercise official authority; (iii) to send you direct marketing materials; and (iv) for scientific, historical, research, or statistical purposes.
    • The “legitimate interests” and “direct marketing” categories above are the ones most likely to apply. If your objection relates to us processing your personal data because we deem it necessary for our legitimate interests, we must act on your objection by ceasing the activity in question unless:
    o we can show that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing which overrides your interests; or
    o we are processing your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.
    • If your objection relates to direct marketing, we must act on your objection by ceasing this activity.
    • Right to withdraw consent: Where we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities, you may withdraw this consent at any time and we will cease to carry out the particular activity that you previously consented to unless we consider that there is an alternative reason to justify our continued processing of your data for this purpose in which case we will inform you of this condition.
    • Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR): You may ask us to confirm what information we hold about you at any time, and request us to modify, update or Delete such information. We may ask you to verify your identity and for more information about your request. If we provide you with access to the information we hold about you, we will not charge you for this unless your request is “manifestly unfounded or excessive”. If you request further copies of this information from us, we may charge you a reasonable administrative cost where legally permissible. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request. If we refuse your request we will always tell you the reasons for doing so.
    • Right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data in certain circumstances. Normally, the information must meet one of the following criteria:
    o the data are no longer necessary for the purpose for which we originally collected and/or processed them;
    o where previously given, you have withdrawn your consent to us processing your data, and there is no other valid reason for us to continue processing;
    o the data has been processed unlawfully (i.e. in a manner which does not comply with the GDPR);
    o it is necessary for the data to be erased in order for us to comply with our legal obligations as a data controller; or
    o if we process the data because we believe it necessary to do so for our legitimate interests, you object to the processing and we are unable to demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds for our continued processing.
    • We would only be entitled to refuse to comply with your request for erasure for one of the following reasons:
    o to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
    o to comply with legal obligations or for the performance of a public interest task or exercise of official authority;
    o for public health reasons in the public interest;
    o for archival, research or statistical purposes; or
    o to exercise or defend a legal claim.
    • When complying with a valid request for the erasure of data we will take all reasonably practicable steps to Delete the relevant data.
    • Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means that we can only continue to store your data and will not be able to carry out any further processing activities with it until either: (i) one of the circumstances listed below is resolved; (ii) you consent; or (iii) further processing is necessary for either the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, the protection of the rights of another individual, or reasons of important EU or Member State public interest.
    • The circumstances in which you are entitled to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data are:
    o Where you dispute the accuracy of the personal data that we are processing about you. In this case, our processing of your personal data will be restricted for the period during which the accuracy of the data is verified;
    o Where you object to our processing of your personal data for our legitimate interests. Here, you can request that the data be restricted while we verify our grounds for processing your personal data;
    o Where our processing of your data is unlawful, but you would prefer us to restrict our processing of it rather than erasing it; and
    o Where we have no further need to process your personal data but you require the data to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
    • If we have shared your personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the restricted processing unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will, of course, notify you before lifting any restriction on processing your personal data.
    • Right to rectification: You also have the right to request that we rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you. If we have shared this personal data with third parties, we will notify them about the rectification unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Where appropriate, we will also tell you which third parties we have disclosed the inaccurate or incomplete personal data to. Where we think that it is reasonable for us not to comply with your request, we will explain our reasons for this decision.
    • Right of data portability: If you wish, you have the right to transfer your personal data between data controllers. In effect, this means that you are able to transfer your Nimrod account details to another online platform. To allow you to do so, we will provide you with your data in a commonly used machine-readable format that is password-protected so that you can transfer the data to another online platform. Alternatively, we may directly transfer the data for you. This right of data portability applies to: (i) personal data that we process automatically (i.e. without any human intervention); (ii) personal data provided by you; and (iii) personal data that we process based on your consent or in order to fulfil a contract.
    • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner. The relevant contact details are:
    • Phone: 0303 123 1113
    • Email: [email protected]
    • Live chat
    • Post: Information Commissioner’s Office Wycliffe House Water Lane Wilmslow Cheshire SK9 5AF
    • If you would like to exercise any of these rights, or withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data (where consent is our legal basis for processing your personal data), please contact [email protected] or 020 7382 4569. Please note that we may keep a record of your communications to help us resolve any issues which you raise.
    • You may ask to unsubscribe from direct marketing at any time. Please send an email to [email protected].
    • It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during the period for which we hold your data.

    WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROCESSING YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE NIMROD WEBSITE?
    • Nimrod Capital LLP is responsible for processing your personal data. It is located at 3 St Helen’s Place, London, EC3A 6AB.
    • If you have any comments or suggestions concerning this General Privacy Policy please contact [email protected]. We take privacy seriously and will get back to you as soon as possible.
    ********************************
    HOW DO WE STORE AND TRANSFER YOUR DATA INTERNATIONALLY?
    • In order to provide you with the best service and to carry out the purposes described in this General Privacy Policy, your data may be transferred:
    o to third parties (such as regulatory authorities, advisers or other Suppliers to the Nimrod business);
    o to overseas Suppliers;
    o to Suppliers within your country who may, in turn, transfer your data internationally;
    o to a cloud-based storage provider; and
    o to other third parties, as referred to here.
    • We want to make sure that your data is stored and transferred in a way which is secure. We will therefore only transfer data outside of the European Economic Area or EEA (i.e. the Member States of the European Union, together with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) where it is compliant with data protection legislation and the means of transfer provides adequate safeguards in relation to your data, for example:
    o by way of data transfer agreement, incorporating the current standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission for the transfer of personal data by

    data controllers in the EEA to data controllers and processors in jurisdictions without adequate data protection laws; or o by signing up to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework for the transfer of personal data from entities in the EU to entities in the United States of America or any equivalent agreement in respect of other jurisdictions; or
    o transferring your data to a country where there has been a finding of adequacy by the European Commission in respect of that country’s levels of data protection via its legislation; or
    o where it is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between ourselves and a third party and the transfer is in your interests for the purposes of that contract (for example, if we need to transfer data outside the EEA in order to meet our obligations under that contract if you are a Customer of ours); or
    o where you have consented to the data transfer.
    • To ensure that your personal information receives an adequate level of protection, we have put in place appropriate procedures with the third parties we share your personal data with to ensure that your personal information is treated by those third parties in a way that is consistent with and which respects the law on data protection.
    ********************************
    OUR LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING YOUR DATA
    LEGITIMATE INTERESTS
    • Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR says that we can process your data where it “is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by [us] or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of [you] which require protection of personal data”.
    • You have the right to object to us processing your personal data on this basis. If you would like to know more about how to do so, please click here.
    • CUSTOMER DATA:
    • To ensure that we provide you with the best service possible, we use and store your personal data and/or the personal data of individual contacts at your organisation as well as keeping records of our conversations and meetings.
    • We want to provide you with relevant information and articles to read which we believe you may be interested in. We therefore think it’s reasonable for us to process your data to make sure that we send you the most appropriate content.
    • We think this is reasonable – we deem these uses of your personal data to be necessary for our legitimate interests in order to carry out our business activities.
    • We have our own obligations under the law, which is a legitimate interest of ours to insist on meeting. If we believe in good faith that it is necessary, we may therefore share your data in connection with crime detection or tax collection.
    • SUPPLIER DATA:
    • We use and store the personal data of individuals within your organisation in order to facilitate the receipt of services from you as one of our Suppliers. Where you are a sole trader, we also hold your financial details, so that we can pay you for your services.
    • We deem all such activities to be necessary within the range of our legitimate interests as a recipient of your services.

    • PEOPLE WHOSE DATA WE RECEIVE FROM CANDIDATES AND STAFF, SUCH AS REFEREES AND EMERGENCY CONTACTS:
    • If you have been put down by a Candidate or a member of Nimrod Staff as one of their referees, we use your personal data in order to contact you for a reference. This is necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation to ensure we appoint the best applicants to join Nimrod.
    • If a Staff member has given us your details as an emergency contact, we will use these details to contact you in the case of an accident or emergency. We have a legitimate interest to store this data and use it in appropriate circumstances on behalf of our Staff.
    • If a Staff member has given us your details as a dependent or a next of kin, we will use your personal data as appropriate for the purpose of benefits (e.g. death in service, private medical insurance) or employment rights (e.g. maternity or paternity leave or a flexible working request.

    CONSENT
    • In certain circumstances, we are required to obtain your consent to the processing of your personal data in relation to certain activities. Depending on exactly what we are doing with your information, this consent will be opt-in consent or soft opt-in consent. Article 4(11) of the GDPR states that (opt-in) consent is “any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.” In plain language, this means that:
    o you have to give us your consent freely, without us putting you under any type of pressure;
    o you have to know what you are consenting to – so we’ll make sure we give you enough information;
    o you should have control over which processing activities you consent to and which you do not; and
    o you need to take positive and affirmative action in giving us your consent We will keep records of the consents that you have given us.
    • In some cases, we will be able to rely on soft opt-in consent. We are allowed to market products or services to you which are related to the services we provide as long as you do not actively opt-out from these communications.
    • As we have mentioned, you have the right to withdraw your consent to these activities. You can do so at any time, and details of how to do so can be found here.

    LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
    • We also have legal and regulatory obligations that we need to comply with. Article (6)(1)(c) of the GDPR states that we can process your personal data where this processing “is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which [we] are subject”.
    • If we believe in good faith that it is necessary, we may share your data in connection with crime detection or tax collection.
    • We also may share your data with regulatory agencies or other relevant bodies in order to comply with our regulatory obligations.
    • We will keep records of your personal data (including personal data contained in communications and calls) in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations.
    ESTABLISHING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS
    • Sometimes it may be necessary for us to process personal data and, where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, sensitive personal data, in connection with exercising or defending legal claims. Article 9(2)(f) of the GDPR allows this where the processing “is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity”.
    • This may arise for example where we need to take legal advice in relation to legal proceedings or are required by law to preserve or disclose certain information as part of the legal process

    GLOSSARY
    • Candidates – includes applicants for all roles advertised or promoted by Nimrod, including permanent, part-time and temporary positions with Nimrod as well as people who have supplied a speculative CV to Nimrod not in relation to a specific job.
    • Customers – this category covers individuals, corporate finance contacts and corporate purchasers of our goods or services, any ultimate beneficial owners or trust beneficiaries, any officers or representatives of any corporate entity or intermediaries, directors, members, shareholders and other beneficial owners of corporate entities.
    • Delete – it is virtually impossible to guarantee the permanent and irretrievable deletion of electronic data. In addition, sometimes we may be obliged by law or regulation, or need for risk-management reasons, to retain the ability to access certain elements of personal data. However, once personal data reaches the end of its nominal retention period, or where we receive a valid request to erase it, we will put in place specific operational and systems measures to ensure that the data is “put beyond use”. By this we mean that while the data will still technically exist on an archive system, we will ensure that it cannot be accessed by any of our operational systems, processes or Staff. Only a very (and we mean exceptionally) small number of senior Staff, in very (and, again, we mean exceptionally) limited and carefully prescribed situations, will be able to restore your personal data so that it can be viewed for those legitimate purposes. Once we are clear that all relevant legally mandated retention periods have expired (which, for present purposes, we expect to be the period of seven years), we will go the additional final step of undertaking a “hard delete”, whereby not even that very limited number of senior Staff would be able to restore your personal data.
