This Privacy Notice for Mount Capital Limited (“we”, “us”, or “our”) applies to visitors to this website (the “Site”), and clients, investors or other contacts who interact with us, or, where such client, investor or other contact is not an individual, their individual directors, officers, employees and/or owners (“you”, or “your”). This Privacy Notice is intended to provide you with information about how we process your personal data. By “personal data” we mean information about you which could identify you such as your name and contact details, but this does not include data where you can no longer be identified from it such as anonymised aggregated data.
We will be the “data controller” of personal data processed in connection with this Privacy Notice. This means that we are responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal data about you. We may process your personal data ourselves or through others acting as data processors on our behalf.
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 your personal data is being used. These supplemental notices should be read together with this Privacy Notice.
If you provide us with personal data of others, for instance, other representatives of an investor, please provide those persons with a copy of this Privacy Notice.
Should you have any questions about this Privacy Notice you can contact us on the details set forth at the end of this Privacy Notice.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data such as statistical 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.
Special categories of personal data
There are more limited bases for processing special category personal data. This is personal data which reveals or contains racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, health data, sex life and sexual orientation. Similarly, there are fewer bases for processing criminal convictions and offences data
We do not intend to actively collect any such data about you. Whilst we will use reasonable efforts to limit our holding of such data, please be aware that we may hold such data incidentally. For example, where:
- you volunteer such data to us or one of our processors, such as if you send us an email containing such data;
- documents gathered for legal / regulatory purposes containing such data, such as a passport copy which references ethnic origin or a due diligence search from public sources which includes such data.
What if you do not provide the personal data requested?
Unless and until you decide to engage in a transaction with or invest in an investment product associated with us, you are not required to provide us with any information. If you do wish to engage in a transaction with or invest in an investment product associated with us, in some circumstances, if you do not provide us with certain information when requested, we may be limited or restricted in our ability to deal with you and may in some cases be prevented from complying with our legal obligations. Where we require your personal information to comply with anti-money laundering or other legal requirements, failure to provide this information means you may not be accepted or retained as a client or investor. We will let you know if any particular data is required when we request it. Please also note that our Site may automatically collect certain technical data as explained above.
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it (as identified above in the ‘Purpose’ column above), unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason which is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Who will we share your information with?
We may share your information with a third party for the purposes described above where this is required by law, where it is necessary to perform our contract with you, where we have another legitimate interest in doing so, or otherwise with your consent.
We may need to share your personal data with:
- other entities within our group as part of our regular reporting activities in company performance, in the context of a business reorganisation or group restructuring exercise or for assistance in relation to marketing and business development;
- introducers, distributors or other intermediaries who market or provide services to you;

We may share your personal data with third parties, for example 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 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.
We may transfer the personal data we collect about you to countries outside of the UK where the parties listed above are based for the purposes outlined in the table above. Those countries may not have the same standard of data protection laws as the UK.
Where this is the case and where required, we will (or we will require a processor to) put in place appropriate safeguards such as approved standard contractual clauses. If you require further information about this you can contact us.

How long will your information be retained?
We will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements and our legitimate interests in maintaining such personal information in our records. This will normally include any period during which we are dealing or expect to deal with you and what we consider to be a suitable period thereafter for our internal record-keeping purposes. In doing this we will have regard to the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised 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. Generally, we will keep information relevant to our dealings with you for 7 years following full redemption or the last date of activity or longer as required by applicable law or regulation.
In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case it is no longer personal data and we will use such information for any purpose without further notice to you. Otherwise, once we no longer require your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Accuracy of information
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please let us know if your personal data which we hold changes during your relationship with us.
Your rights in relation to your personal data
You have rights as an individual which you may be entitled to exercise in relation to the personal data we hold about you under certain circumstances and subject to certain exemptions and conditions under applicable law. 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; and
- request the transfer of your personal data to another party.
In exercising your rights above, you may be required to redeem or withdraw from your investment product where applicable.
If you want to exercise one of these rights please contact us. We will do our best to accommodate your request or objection but please note that not all rights are absolute.
You also have the right to make a complaint at any time to a supervisory authority for data protection issues.
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.
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.
Right to withdraw 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 us. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose(s) to which you originally consented unless we now have an alternative legal basis for doing so.
Changes to this privacy notice
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Notice at any time, and will make an updated copy of such Privacy Notice available to you and notify you when we make any substantial updates. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal data.
Further information and contacting us
This Privacy Notice was written with brevity and clarity in mind and is not an exhaustive account of all aspects of our collection and use of personal data. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us on [email protected].
