4. Our lawful bases for processing
We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under the UK GDPR. Depending on the circumstances, these bases may include:
Legitimate interests. We may process professional contact details, business correspondence and relevant investment-related information where necessary for our legitimate interests in operating and developing our real estate investment business, managing professional relationships, assessing opportunities, maintaining security and protecting our legal rights. We will consider the impact on individuals and their rights before relying on this basis.
Steps taken at your request and contractual necessity. Where relevant, we may process personal data to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or where processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are a party.
Legal obligations. We may process personal data where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to us.
Consent. Where required by law, we will seek your consent, including for relevant non-essential cookies or similar technologies and certain electronic marketing activities. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
The applicable lawful basis will depend on the particular processing activity. We will not rely on consent where another lawful basis is more appropriate, and we will not treat legitimate interests as a substitute for consent where consent is legally required.
5. Who we share personal data with
We may disclose personal data, where appropriate and lawful, to the following categories of recipients:
- Professional advisers: including lawyers, accountants, auditors and other advisers engaged in connection with our business.
- Service providers: including website hosting providers, IT support providers, email and communications providers, and other suppliers that support our operations.
- Investment and transaction counterparties: including prospective or existing investors, capital partners, property owners, brokers, lenders and other parties involved in evaluating or completing a potential transaction, where disclosure is appropriate and lawful.
- Group companies and affiliated entities: where applicable and where sharing is necessary for legitimate business purposes.
- Public authorities and other recipients: where required by law, regulation, court order or other lawful process, or where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where a service provider processes personal data on our behalf, we will put appropriate contractual and other safeguards in place as required by law.
We do not intend this list to imply that every category of recipient is currently engaged by Capax Capital. Actual recipients will depend on our arrangements and the circumstances of the relevant processing.
6. International transfers
Some of our service providers, business counterparties or other recipients may be located outside the United Kingdom, or may process personal data in another country.
Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data protection legislation. Depending on the circumstances, this may involve a UK adequacy regulation or appropriate safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, together with any required risk assessment.
You may contact us using the details in Section 1 if you would like further information about relevant international transfers and safeguards.
7. How long we keep personal data
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, taking into account the nature of the information, the purpose of processing, our business and legal requirements, and any need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and our relationship with you. For example, information relating to enquiries, business relationships, investment opportunities and completed transactions may need to be retained for different periods.
Where personal data is no longer required, we will take appropriate steps to delete it or anonymise it securely, subject to any applicable legal obligations.
8. Your data protection rights
Subject to the conditions and exemptions set out in applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data and obtain a copy of it.
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Erase personal data in certain circumstances.
- Restrict the processing of personal data in certain circumstances.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests or to processing for direct marketing.
- Data portability, where the legal conditions are met.
- Withdraw consent where we rely on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal conditions or exemptions. For example, the right to erasure does not apply in every situation.
To exercise a right or ask a question about how we use your personal data, please contact us at info@capaxcapital.co.uk. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (“ICO”), the UK's data protection regulator. Information about making a complaint is available at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.
