4 Transmission, storage and security of your personal information

Security over the internet

4.1 No data transmission over the Internet or website can be guaranteed to be secure from intrusion. However, we maintain commercially reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information in accordance with data protection legislative requirements. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers and accessed and used subject to our security policies and standards.

4.2 Where we or a fund administrator have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our websites (e.g. our investor pages), you are responsible for keeping this password confidential and for complying with any other security procedures that we notify you of. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

4.3 For personal information collected in India, we implement reasonable physical, technical and administrative security standards designed to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, destruction or damage and to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, and such security standard will be at an equivalent or higher level than the international standard IS/ISO/IEC 27001 on “Information Technology – Security Techniques – Information Security Management System – Requirements”.

4.4 Given AnaCap’s group structure, personal information may be shared and transferred to other entities within the AnaCap group or to other third parties both within the UK and EEA as well as to other countries outside of the UK and EEA that may have a lower standard than in the UK/EEA.

4.5 When we do so, we will use appropriate safeguards to protect the personal information that we transfer. We will either ask for your consent to the transfer or transfer it subject to European Commission or UK Government approved contractual terms that impose equivalent data protection obligations directly on the recipient, unless we are permitted under applicable data protection law to make such transfers without such formalities (including where the export is to a country that has been approved by the European Commission or UK Government (as applicable) as providing essentially equivalent protections to EU/UK data protection laws and therefore where no further safeguards are required in order to export to that country).

4.7 We restrict access to your personal information to those persons who need to use it for the relevant purpose(s). Our retention periods are based on business needs and your information that is no longer needed is either irreversibly anonymised (and the anonymised information may be retained) or securely destroyed.
