European Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice sets out the categories of personal data we collect from you, how we collect it, what we use it for and with whom we share it in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). For the purposes of this Privacy Notice, “CIFC”, “we”, “us”, “our” means CIFC, LLC and its affiliates.

By “personal data” we mean any information relating to you such as your name, contact details, taxpayer identification number, account number, account balance and transaction information or online identifiers such as your IP address. Personal data does not include data where you can no longer be identified from it such as anonymised aggregate data.

CIFC is a data controller. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal data about you. Our address is 1 SE 3rd Avenue, Suite 1660, Miami, FL 33131 USA. Should you have any questions about this Privacy Notice you can contact our Legal Department at legaldepartment@cifc.com or as otherwise provided below in the Further Information section.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or how we handle your personal data, please contact dataprotection@cifc.com or +1 212-624-1200.

This Privacy Notice applies to personal data about you that we collect, use and otherwise process in connection with your relationship with us as an investor in the funds.

We may provide supplemental privacy notices on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing personal data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your personal data. Those supplemental notices should be read together with this Privacy Notice.

What personal data do we collect about you and what do we use it for?

The categories of personal data about you which we may collect, store and use are set out in the table below and in each case we have indicated what we use your personal data for and our ‘lawful basis’ for processing it. The law specifies certain ‘lawful bases’ under which we are allowed to use your personal data. Most commonly, we will rely on one or more of the following lawful bases for processing your personal data:

1. Where we need to comply with a legal obligation;
2. Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; and/or
3. Where we need to perform the contract we have entered into with you.

Generally we do not rely on your consent as a lawful basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, including by contacting us at the details given at the beginning and end of this notice.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated data may be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data itself as it can no longer identify you. For example, we may aggregate your investment data to calculate the percentage of our investors investing in a specific sector. However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal data so that it can identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, if we are required by law to do so or if we reasonably believe that it is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal process.

What if you do not provide the personal data we request?

If you do not provide us with certain personal data when requested, we will not be able to enter into or perform all or part of the agreement with you or the services we have agreed to provide you with, or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations.

Change of purpose

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it (as identified above in the What we use this personal data for column), unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason which is compatible with the original purpose for which you provided it to us. If we need to use your personal data for a purpose that is unrelated to the original purpose for which you provided it to us, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

How do we collect your personal data?

You may provide personal information to us when communicating or transacting with us in writing, electronically, or by phone. For instance, information may come from applications, requests for forms or literature, and your transactions and account positions with us. On occasion, such information may come from consumer reporting agencies and those providing services to us.

We may collect personal data about you:

• When you submit an application to invest in a fund
• When you request literature from us
• When you register for, attend, or participate in our special events
• When we communicate in writing via letter or email, by fax, or by phone

In addition, we may receive personal data about you from third parties and public sources, such as:

• Companies contracted by us to provide services to you or process account transactions requested by you, such as a fund administrator or companies that mail account-related materials to you
• Companies contracted by us to offer our products and services to you, such as your brokerage firm or our distributor
• If you have an investment account with us, the custodian of your account may provide us with information about you or your account
• Companies we contract with to deliver special events to you
• Placement agents that we engage to assist us in offering our products and services to you
• Publicly available sources (including certain social media sites)

With whom will we share your personal data?

We may share your personal data with third parties where this is required by law, where it is necessary to perform our contract with you, or where we have another legitimate interest in doing so.

We will need to share your personal data with:

• Our service providers, including the administrator of a fund or separately manged account, our distributors, our attorneys, our IT service providers and companies engaged to mail account-related materials to you
• If we manage an investment account for you, the custodian of your account
• Placement agents that we engage to assist us in offering our products and services to you
• Other intermediaries who market or provide services to you

We will share your personal data with other entities in our group to service your accounts, in the context of a business reorganisation or group restructuring exercise, for system maintenance support and for hosting of data.

We may share your personal data in the context of the possible sale or restructuring of the business. We may also need to share your personal data with a regulator or to otherwise comply with applicable law or judicial process. We may disclose your personal data if we are required by law to do so or if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with judicial or regulatory proceedings, a court order or other legal process.

Processing of your personal data outside the EEA

The personal data we collect about you may be transferred directly by you to us or our service providers in the U.S. In order for us to perform our contract with you, it is therefore necessary for us to process your personal data in the U.S and may be necessary for our service provider to process your personal data on our behalf in the U.S. We have put in place physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that are reasonably designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and use in order to ensure that your personal data is treated in a manner that is consistent with and which respects the EU laws on data protection and have required our service providers to do the same. If you require further information about the transfer of your personal information outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), you can request it from our legal department at legaldepartment@cifc.com or as otherwise provided below in the Further Information section.

How long will we retain your personal data?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

Your records are maintained for the period of time required by applicable law.

In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal data.

Once we no longer require your personal data for the purposes we collected it for, we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Accuracy of personal data

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Your rights in relation to your personal data

You have rights as an individual which you can exercise in relation to the information we hold about you under certain circumstances. These rights are to:

• Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”) and request certain information in relation to its processing;
• Request rectification of your personal data;
• Request the erasure of your personal data;
• Request the restriction of processing of your personal data;
• Object to the processing of your personal data.

You also have the right to receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have us transmit those personal data to another controller, if you have provided these personal data to us, if the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1)of GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of GDPR and the processing is carried out by us by automated means, subject, however, to legal restrictions which may apply.

If you want to exercise one of these rights please contact our legal department at legaldepartment@cifc.com or as otherwise provided below in the Further Information section.

You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to a data protection authority in the EU. We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach a data protection authority, so please do contact us.

While we strive to protect all information we receive from you, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us.

Fees

You will not usually have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is manifestly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.

No automated decision making

We do not apply automated decision making or profiling techniques.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

Your right to withdraw your consent

In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact the CIFC Legal Department at legaldepartment@cifc.com or as otherwise provided below in the Further Information section. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) you originally agreed to unless we now have an alternative legal basis for doing so.
