- Service providers – vetted partners who host servers, email our newsletters, manage forms, or support due diligence workflows. They receive only the information necessary to perform their function and must follow our security instructions.
- Fund and compliance providers – if a private fund process is opened, we may share relevant data with fund administrators, AML/KYC providers, banks, auditors, tax advisers, legal advisers, and other regulated or professional service providers.
- Legal or regulatory bodies – where required to comply with the law, court order or regulator.
- Corporate events – if we merge, sell assets or undergo restructuring, data may transfer to the new entity under the same protections.
We never sell your personal information.
