In connection with our provision of investor services: if you are an investor in a GCI fund or account, you will provide us with personal information when you or the firm you represent becomes an investor. If you are not an investor, we may collect or receive your personal information because you are involved in a fund or related marketing initiatives.

Information we otherwise collect about you We will also collect information about when you use our services or when we otherwise interact or correspond with you. We use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit our website. [We may, for example, collect information about the type of device you use to access the website, your IP address and your geographic location, the operating system and version, your browser type, the content you view and features you access on our website, the web pages and the search terms you enter on our website.]

Information we obtain from other sources

If we collect or receive your personal information in the context of our provision of investor services, we might receive information from third parties such as your firm, other parties relevant to the services we are providing (e.g., a colleague might request sign-up for you for an event or web access) and others such as regulators and authorities. That information could include your name, contact details, employment details and other information relevant to the services that we are providing to our investors.

How we use the information we collect We may use your personal information for the following purposes:

to provide services to the relevant investor
to engage in activity in relation to our investor services. This may include sending you newsletters, updates, event invitations and other information that may be of interest to you
to comply with legal or regulatory obligations that we must discharge
to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, or for the purposes of legal proceedings
[log your use of our website or our other online services for our own legitimate business purposes, which may include the analysis of usage, measurement of site performance, generation of reports,]
to look into any complaints or queries you may have
to prevent and respond to actual or potential fraud or illegal activities, and
[to collate, process and share any statistics based on an aggregation of information held by us, provided that any individual is not identified from the resulting analysis and the collation, processing and dissemination of such information is permitted by law.]

Grounds for using your personal information We rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal information, namely:

Performance of a contract – we may need to collect and use your personal information to enter into a contract with you or to perform our obligations under a contract with you or your business.
Legitimate interests – we may use your personal information for our legitimate interests, some examples of which are given above.
Compliance with law or regulation – we may use your personal information as necessary to comply with applicable laws/regulations.
Consent -You may withdraw your consent for the use of your personal information by contacting us (see below).

How we share information with third parties We may share your personal information outside GCI. This may include:

Third party agents/suppliers or contractors, bound by obligations of confidentiality, in connection with the processing of your personal information for the purposes described in this Policy. This may include, but is not limited to, IT and communications service providers.
Third parties relevant to the services that we provide. This may include, but is not limited to, fund administrators and custodians, other professional service providers, counterparties to litigation, regulators, authorities and governmental institutions.

Opt-Out Provisions It is not a policy of GCI to share non-public personal and financial information with affiliated or unaffiliated third parties except under the circumstances noted above. Since sharing under the circumstances noted above is necessary to service customer accounts or is mandated by law, there are no allowances made for investors to opt out.

Protecting your data outside Hong Kong The data that we collect from you may be held within, or transferred to, third-party data processors in countries that are outside Hong Kong, such as Japan or otherwise within Asia. If we do this, we have procedures in place to ensure your data receives the same protection as if it were being processed inside Hong Kong. For example, our contracts with third parties stipulate the standards they must follow at all times. If you wish for more information about these contracts, please contact us through our contact details below.

Any transfer of your personal data will follow applicable laws and we will treat the information under the guiding principles of this Policy.

Keeping your information and information security How long we hold your personal information for will vary and will depend principally on:

the purpose for which we are using your personal information – we will need to keep the information for as long as is necessary for the relevant purpose, and
legal obligations – laws or regulations may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your personal information.

We will ensure that the personal information that we hold is subject to appropriate security measures.

Your choices and rights You have a number of legal rights in relation to the personal information that we hold about you and you can exercise your rights by contacting us using the details set out below.

These rights include:

Please note that this right only applies to personal information which you have provided to us.
Withdrawing your consent, although in certain circumstances it may be lawful for us to continue processing without your consent if we have another legitimate reason (other than consent) for doing so.
Lodging a complaint with the relevant data protection authority, if you think that any of your rights have been infringed by us.
We can, on request, tell you which data protection authority is relevant to the processing of your personal information.
