Unless otherwise indicated, this notice applies to the activities of Platina Partners LLP, Platina Energy Partners LLP and Platina Equity Solutions SAS (together ‘Platina’) in their capacity as data controllers as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’).
Platina is committed to ensuring that your personal data are kept safe and handled in compliance with relevant laws and regulations. This privacy policy sets out how Platina collects and uses your data. We ask that you read it carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.
It is important that you read this privacy policy together with any other privacy policy or notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you (e.g. when you enter into a contractual relationship with us, e.g. to become an investor) so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This privacy policy supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.
Platina collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and any related UK legislation and Financial Conduct Authority regulations and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws. The relevant Platina entities are listed below:
In the course of our activities as a fund manager and investment adviser we may collect the following personal information:
We may also obtain personal information from other sources as follows:
We use your personal information to:
We routinely share your personal data with third parties, as is necessary in the course of our business. Such third parties may include accountants, auditors, tax advisers, lawyers, background checking companies, other professional services providers and banks. Some of those third party recipients may be based outside the European Economic Area — for further information including on how we safeguard your personal data when this occurs, see ‘Transfer of your information out of the EEA’.We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law.
Whilst Platina’s IT providers have the capacity to access any data held on our systems, contractual safeguards are in place to ensure that your personal data are kept confidential. Platina uses third party providers for offsite storage and scanning services, however, any personal details stored are protected by contractual safeguards.
The provision of your personal data as applicable to your relationship with us is required from you to enable us to carry out our activities as a fund manager and investment adviser and to communicate with you, as well as to comply with legal and regulatory obligations. We will inform you at the point of collecting information from you, whether you are required to provide the information to us.
We will hold your personal data for no longer than is required under relevant legislation and/or regulatory rules, or than is necessary for the purposes set out in this notice.
Personal data received by or contained in e-mails will be stored in Mimecast for a period of ten years in compliance with Financial Conduct Authority regulations.
We rely on (i) legal obligations, (ii) contractual obligations, (iii) your consent and (iv) our legitimate interests as the lawful basis on which we collect and use your personal data.
A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. Our legitimate interests are the interests of enabling Platina to carry out its business as a fund manager and investment advisor.
We may transfer your personal information to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) only where it is required to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, or where this may be necessary to meet our contractual obligations to you.
This may be necessary if, for example, your and/or our services providers are located outside of the EEA, or if you are based outside of the EEA.
These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law.
We will not otherwise transfer your personal data outside of the EEA or to any organisation (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries.
If you would like further information, please contact us (see ‘How to contact us’, below).

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please:
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used, or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information.

The supervisory authority in the UK is the Information Commissioner who may be contacted at https://ico.org.uk/concerns/ or telephone: 0303 123 1113.
