The purpose of this Privacy Policy (also called a Privacy Notice) is to provide you with information on our use of Personal Data (as defined below) in accordance with applicable privacy laws that may be enacted from time to time, including the Data Protection Act of the Cayman Islands (the “DPA”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada)(“PIPEDA”).
In this Privacy Notice, “we”, “us” and “our” refers collectively to iCapital Network and its or their affiliates and/or delegates (together, “iCapital”) and investment funds managed, advised or administered by iCapital (each, a “Fund”).
Online Privacy Policy
The Online Privacy Policy applies to all natural persons who are not covered by either our investor privacy policy or our employee privacy notice.
Personal Data
Personal Data means personal information that reasonably can be used to identify you as an individual person, and includes personal information on yourself that you provide to us, as well as the personal information of individuals connected with you (for example directors, trustees, employees, representatives, shareholders, investors, clients, beneficial owners or agents). A “Data Subject” is an individual who is identified, or who can be directly or indirectly identified.
In our use of Personal Data, the Fund is characterized as a “business” or “data controller” under various legal regimes including DPA, GDPR, and CCPA. The Fund’s affiliates and delegates may act as “data processors” or “service providers.”
If you are a natural person, this will affect you directly. If you are a corporate investor (including, for these purposes, legal arrangements such as trusts or exempted limited partnerships) that provides us with Personal Data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation to your investment with us, this will be relevant for those individuals and you should transmit this document to such individuals or otherwise advise them of its content.
What Personal Data do we collect and how?
We collect the following forms of Personal Data:
- Identifiers such as your name, residential and/or postal address, email address, contact details, corporate contact information, tax identification number, passport number, CRD/IARD number, and license and designation identification number.
- Information classified as personal or protected information by state or federal law, including your nationality, place and date of birth, and correspondence records.
- Commercial information, including tax information, bank account details, source of funds details, investment preferences and strategies, and details related to your investment activity

- Indirectly from other sources: We may also obtain Personal Data from other public sources, such as public records and the Internet.
- Automatic website collection tools: As with most websites, we automatically collect certain data from Data Subjects who visit the Site. To this end, we use data collection tools (“Cookies”) on the Site to record certain usage information, such as the number and frequency of visitors to the Site.

International Data Transfers
If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that the Personal Data we collect will be processed and stored in the United States, a jurisdiction in which the data protection and privacy laws may not offer the same level of protection as those in the country where you reside or are a citizen, or those in the country where the Fund is established.
We will ensure application of the same standards of privacy protection as set out in this privacy policy regardless of the international transfer or processing of personal data. By providing us your personal data and/or using our website, you consent to such international transfers of personal data, as we deem appropriate, including transfers from the European Economic Area or the Cayman Islands to the U.S. and other countries, which the European Union has deemed not to provide “adequate” protections for personal data.
Investors, also called Subscribers, acknowledge that the Fund and/or its delegates may transfer and/or process personal data provided by them outside of the Cayman Islands and consent to such transfer and/or processing and further represents that it is duly authorized to provide this consent on behalf of any individual whose personal data is provided by the Investor.
Any transfer of Personal Data by us or our duly authorized Delegates outside of the jurisdiction in which it is collected shall be in accordance with any legal requirements, including those of the DPA and GDPR.

Children’s Privacy
We are committed to protecting the privacy needs of children, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. Our services are not intended for and may not be used by children under the age of 18.

Data Subject Rights
Individuals in Andorra, Argentina, Australia, California, Canada, Cayman Islands, Europe, Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Hong Kong, Israel, Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, Mexico, Nevada, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, Virginia, and certain other jurisdictions, and Investors in our Cayman Islands Funds, may have certain data subject rights. These rights vary, but they may include the right to: (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of their personal data; (ii) restrict or object to the processing of their personal data; and (iii) obtain a copy of their personal data in a portable format. Individuals may also have the right to lodge a complaint about the processing of personal data with a data protection authority.
Our ability to comply with these requests is constrained by our regulatory obligations. For instance, we cannot delete all records of an account or transaction when we have legal obligations to retain such information.
How to exercise your Data Subject Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may also be entitled to direct any complaints in relation to our processing of Personal Data to your national or local data protection supervisory authority, or to the Cayman Islands Ombudsman, if the complaint is in relation to a Cayman Islands Fund. Please consult local authorities.
Individuals who submit requests for access or erasure of personal information will be required to verify their identity by answering certain questions. We will not disclose or delete any information until identity is verified.
If you are making a request for access, we may not be able to provide specific pieces of personal information if the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable, and unreasonable risk to the security of your personal information, your account with us, or our systems or networks.
If you are making a request for erasure, we will ask that you confirm that you would like us to delete your personal information again before your request is submitted.
You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf by providing that agent with your written permission. If an agent makes a request on your behalf, we may still ask that you verify your identity directly with us before we can honor the request.
Agents who make requests on behalf of individuals, will be required to verify the request by submitting written authorization from the individual. We will not honor any requests from agents until authorization is verified.
