We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of your personal information and take precautions to protect such information. These precautions include the adoption of certain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards and procedures designed to maintain and secure your personal information from inappropriate disclosure in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

We restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents of the Company who need to know that information in order to provide the Company’s services. We may disclose such information to our service providers (including financial, technical, marketing and professional service providers and consultants) and financial institutions that provide services to the Company. We require such third party service providers and financial institutions to protect the confidentiality of your personal information and to use the information only for purposes for which it is disclosed to them.

We may share your personal information as permitted by law, including with our affiliates, service providers and relevant counterparties, with your consent, or as required by applicable law or regulation. This means that we may disclose your personal information to other third parties, including:

  • Any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction over the Company or its affiliates, if (i) the Company determines that such disclosure is necessary or advisable pursuant to or in connection with any U.S. federal, state or local, or non-U.S., law, rule, regulation, executive order or policy, including without limitation any anti-money laundering law and the USA PATRIOT Act and (ii) such disclosure is not otherwise prohibited by law, rule, regulation, executive order or policy;
  • Persons acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of an investor, such as an IRA custodian or Trustee of a grantor trust; and
  • Certain other persons to the extent authorized by you.

We may share your personal information in the event we sell all or part of our business, or make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, a business reorganization, or similar event, we may transfer your information as part of such transaction.

We may disclose for a business purpose, and may have disclosed in the preceding twelve (12) months, personal information, including contact information, employment information, identification information, background information and financial information to third parties, as listed above.

We do not sell personal information obtained about you to any third parties or share such information for target advertising or cross-contextual behavioral advertising, and have not done so in the twelve (12) months preceding the effective date of this policy. We may aggregate survey responses for publication. However, this will not include any non-public personal information or any information identifiable to a particular Site user.

Your personal information may be collected in, transferred to, stored or otherwise processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including the United States. Such country may or may not be deemed to provide the same level of protection for personal information as your jurisdiction.

When we transfer personal information internationally, and to the extent required by applicable data protection laws, we rely on suitable safeguards or an appropriate derogation, including:

  • Where the relevant country or recipient has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for your personal information by relevant authorities;
  • Using standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities as ensuring adequate safeguards;
  • Obtaining your consent to transfer personal information after first informing you about the possible risks of such a transfer;
  • Transferring the personal information because it is necessary for the performance of (or to enter into) a contract between you and the Company, or because the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between the Company and a third party, and the contract was entered into in your interest; and
  • Transferring the personal information because it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

For more information on the safeguards we have in place or to receive a copy, please contact us using the details below.

VII. Retention of your personal information

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, or as long as we are legally required or permitted to do so. Under certain circumstances, you may have the right to have your personal information erased.

When deciding how long to retain your personal information, we take into account our legal and regulatory obligations, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information described above and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means. We may also retain your personal information to investigate or defend against potential legal claims in accordance with the limitation periods of countries where legal action may be brought.

The Site may contain links to third party websites, products and services. These third party websites and services have separate and independent privacy policies, which we encourage you to read.

Depending on your residency, you may have certain rights relating to your personal information. To find out what rights are applicable to you or to request to exercise any of these rights please email IR@ag-capinv.com.

  • Access or Right to Know. The right to confirm with us whether your personal information is processed, and if it is, to request access to that personal information including the categories of personal information processed, the purpose of the processing and the recipients or categories of recipients.

  • Erasure or Right to Delete. In limited circumstances, you may have the right to ask us to erase personal information concerning you.
  • Restriction. The right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, for example, if you believe that your personal information held by us are inaccurate, if processing of your personal information is unlawful, or if we no longer need your personal information for the purposes for which they were collected, but you require your personal information to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • Data Portability. The right to receive personal information concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you may have the right to transmit that data to another entity.
  • Right to Object. Under certain circumstances you may have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal information, including profiling, by us and we can be required to no longer process your personal information.

If we retain your personal information only in de-identified form, we will not attempt to re-identify your data in response to a Data Subject Rights request.

If you make a request related to personal information about you, we will need to verify your identity. To do so, we will request that you match specific pieces of information you have provided us previously, as well as, in some instances, provide a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the individual whose personal information is the subject of the request. If it is necessary to collect additional information from you, we will use the information only for verification purposes and will delete it as soon as practicable after complying with the request.
