Please contact privacy@sterling-group.com with any queries arising out of this EU and UK Privacy Notice.
Categories of personal data collected and lawful bases for processing
The Sterling Group, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, “Sterling”) manage a number of private investment funds and other investment vehicles (each, a “Sterling Fund”). In connection with forming, offering and operating each such Sterling Fund, Sterling and its administrators, legal and other advisors and agents (the “Authorized Entities”) collect, record, store, adapt and otherwise process and use personal data either relating to investors and other data subjects from the following sources:

Any Authorized Entity may, in certain circumstances, combine personal data it receives from an investor with information that it collects from or about such investor. This will include information collected in an online or offline context. In addition, personal data of investors may be processed and controlled irrespective of whether such investor is admitted to a Sterling Fund.
One or more of the Authorized Entities are “controllers” of personal data collected in connection with the Sterling Funds. In simple terms, this means such Authorized Entities: (i) “control” the personal data that they or other Authorized Entities collect from investors or other sources; and (ii) make certain decisions on how to use and protect such personal data.
There is a need to process personal data for the purposes set out in this EU and UK Privacy Notice as a matter of contractual necessity under or in connection with the governing documents, the applicable Subscription Agreements and any other associated documentation, and in the legitimate interests of the Authorized Entities (or those of a third party) to operate their respective businesses. From time to time, an Authorized Entity may need to process the personal data on other legal bases, including: with consent; to comply with a legal obligation; if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of an investor or other data subjects; or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.
A failure to provide the personal data requested to fulfill the purposes described in this EU and UK Privacy Notice may result in the applicable Authorized Entities being unable to provide the services in connection with the governing documents and/or applicable Subscription Agreement in relation to each Sterling Fund.
Purpose of processing
The applicable Authorized Entities process the personal data for the following purposes (and in respect of paragraphs (c), (d), (f), (h), (i) and (k) in the legitimate interests of the Authorized Entities (or those of a third party)):
- the performance of its contractual and legal obligations (including any applicable anti-money laundering, KYC and other related laws and regulations) in assessing suitability of investors in a Sterling Fund;
- the administrative processes (and related communication) carried out between the Authorized Entities in preparing for the admission of investors to a Sterling Fund;
- ongoing communication with investors, their representatives, advisors and agents, (including the negotiation, preparation and execution of documentation) during the process of admitting investors to a Sterling Fund;
- the ongoing administrative, accounting, reporting and other processes and communication required to operate the business (including any websites, data room and/or investor reporting portal) of a Sterling Fund and/or any other applicable Authorized Entity including in accordance with the respective governing documents of each such Sterling Fund, applicable Subscription Agreements and other applicable documentation between the parties;
- to administer, manage and set up investor account(s) to allow investors to purchase their holdings of shares or interests in a Sterling Fund;
- to facilitate the execution, continuation or termination of the contractual relationship between an investor and any Sterling Fund and/or any other Authorized Entity (as applicable);
- to facilitate the transfer of funds, and administering and facilitating any other transaction, between an investor and any Sterling Fund and/or any other Authorized Entity (as applicable);
- to enable any actual or proposed assignee or transferee, participant or sub-participant of any Sterling Fund or any Sterling Fund’s rights or obligations to evaluate proposed transactions;
- to facilitate business asset transactions involving any Sterling Fund;
- any legal or regulatory requirement;
- keeping investors informed about the business of Sterling and its affiliates generally, including offering opportunities to make investments other than in a Sterling Fund they have already invested in; and
- any other purpose that has been notified, or has been agreed, in writing.
The Authorized Entities monitor communications where the law requires them to do so. The Authorized Entities also monitor communications, where required to do so, to comply with regulatory rules and practices and, where not prohibited to do so, to protect their respective businesses and the security of their respective systems.
Sharing and transfers of personal data
In addition to disclosing personal data amongst themselves, any Authorized Entity may disclose personal data, where not prohibited by EU and/or UK Data Protection Legislation, to other service providers, investors, employees, agents, contractors, consultants, professional advisers, lenders, processors and persons employed and/or retained by them in order to fulfill the purposes described in this EU and UK Privacy Notice. In addition, any Authorized Entity may share personal data with regulatory bodies having competent jurisdiction over them, as well as with tax authorities, auditors and advisers (where necessary or required by law).
Any Authorized Entity may transfer personal data to a Non-Equivalent Country (as defined below), in order to fulfill the purposes described in this EU and UK Privacy Notice and in accordance with applicable law, including where such transfer is a matter of contractual necessity to enter into, perform and administer the governing documents of each Sterling Fund and applicable Subscription Agreements, and to implement requested pre-contractual measures. For information on the safeguards applied to such transfers, please contact privacy@sterling-group.com. For the purposes of this EU and UK Privacy Notice, “Non-Equivalent Country” shall mean a country or territory other than (i) a member state of the EEA; (ii) the UK; or (iii) a country or territory which has at the relevant time been decided by the European Commission or the Government of the UK (as applicable) in accordance with EU and/or UK Data Protection Legislation to ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data.
Retention and security of personal data
Sterling consider the protection of personal data to be a sound business practice, and to that end, employ appropriate technical and organizational measures, including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal data in their possession or under their control.
Personal data may be kept for as long as it is required for legitimate business purposes, to perform contractual obligations, or where longer, such longer period as is required by applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Personal data will be retained throughout the life cycle of any investment in a Sterling Fund. However, some personal data will be retained after a data subject ceases to be an investor in a Sterling Fund.
Data Subject Rights
It is acknowledged that, subject to EU and/or UK Data Protection Legislation, the data subjects to which personal data relates have certain rights under EU and/or UK Data Protection Legislation, including: to obtain information about, or (where applicable) withdraw any consent given in relation to, the processing of their personal data; to access and receive a copy of their personal data; to request rectification of their personal data; to request erasure of their personal data; to exercise their right to data portability; and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making. Please note that the right to erasure is not absolute and it may not always be possible to erase personal data on request, including where the personal data must be retained to comply with a legal obligation. In addition, erasure of the personal data requested to fulfill the purposes described in this EU and UK Privacy Notice, may result in the inability to provide the services required pursuant to the governing documents of each Sterling Fund and/or the applicable Subscription Agreement.
In case a data subject to whom personal data relate disagrees with the way in which their personal data is being processed in relation to the governing documents of a Sterling Fund and/or a Subscription Agreement, the data subject has the right to object to this processing of personal data and request restriction of the processing. The data subject may also lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in the relevant jurisdiction.
A data subject may raise any request relating to the processing of their personal data by contacting privacy@sterling-group.com.
