Aether Capital Partners Limited (also referred to as 'Aether' or 'the Firm') is a company registered in the UK.

​

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’), Aether will be the ‘controller’ of personal data that we have received. Please read the following information carefully in order to understand the Firm’s practices in relation to the treatment of your personal data.​

​

What data privacy principles does the Firm adhere to?

​

• The Firm will process all personal data in a lawful, fair and transparent manner.

​

• The Firm will only collect personal data where it is necessary for the firm to:

- Provide a service to you and to the company you represent (hereinafter referred  to as “you” as appropriate);

- Receive a service provided by you and the company you represent;

- Keep you informed of its products and services; or

- Comply with its legal and regulatory obligations.

​

• The personal data collected by the Firm will be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the specific purpose for which your data will be processed.

​

• The Firm will take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data is accurate and, where necessary, kept up-to-date.

​

• The Firm will maintain personal data in a form that permits identification no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data has been collected for processing, in accordance with the Firm’s record retention procedures.

​

• The Firm will hold and process personal data in a manner that ensures appropriate security.

​

• The Firm may share personal data with other entities within the Aether group where necessary for the provision of services. Where such entities are outside of the EEA, personal data will be treated as is required under GDPR.

​

• The Firm will only share personal data outside of the Aether group where it is necessary to provide the agreed service or where it is necessary for the Firm to comply with its legal requirements.

​

• The Firm will only utilise a service provider based outside of the EEA for the processing of personal data where this is strictly necessary to facilitate our services to you. In all cases, we will ensure service providers are fully compliant with GDPR ahead of transferring any personal data.

​

​

What personal data does the Firm collect and why?

​

The type of personal data (e.g. name, contact details, address etc.) that we may collect will depend upon the relationship between Aether and you.

 

The data so collected may be provided directly by you or, where appropriate, provided by third parties e.g. references, credit checks etc.

 

As a client, a contact, or service provider of Aether we will require some personal information in order to verify your identity and have the applicable relationship with you. The information collected will vary depending on the service the Firm provides to you or you provide to the Firm, but typically includes:

• Personal information: Such as your name, date of birth, passport number or national insurance number;

• Contact information: Including your address, telephone number and email address.

 

 

Where does the Firm store my personal data?

​

The Firm has comprehensive policies and procedures in place to ensure your personal data is kept safe and secure. Further details can be provided on request.

​

​

How long does the Firm retain personal data?

​

Aether retains personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected (or longer period if so required by law or legitimate interests) which will be at least for the period in which Aether has a business interest with you.

​

Any information that is outside the scope of this requirement will be retained whilst relevant and useful, and destroyed where this ceases to be the case or where the data subject specifically requests this.

​

​

How have I been categorised in accordance with GDPR?

​

The GDPR requires the Firm to inform you of the legal basis on which we maintain your personal data. As a general rule the following is applicable:

• Clients: Information is maintained on the basis of contractual obligation and/or legitimate interests (where relevant):

• Service providers: Information is maintained on the basis of contractual obligation;

• Database/Marketing contacts:  Information is maintained on the basis of legitimate interest; and

• Other contacts: we may on occasion request your consent to use and process personal data.

 

 

What are my rights?

​

You have certain rights in respect of your personal data, depending on your relationship with the Firm and its legal and regulatory obligations. You have the right to:

​

• Request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some, or all, of your personal information, email the Firm (details below). The Firm will provide this information within one month (with the ability to extend this by an additional two months where necessary), free of charge.

​

• Request that the information the Firm holds about you is erased under certain circumstances including where there is no additional legal and/or regulatory requirement for the Firm to retain this information.

​

• Request that any personal data you have provided to the Firm be transmitted to another controller in a commonly used and machine-readable format, otherwise known as ‘data portability’.

​

• Ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date, or where necessary rectified. Where you feel that your personal data is incorrect or inaccurate and should therefore be updated, please contact the Firm (details shown below).

​

• Object to your information being processed, for example for direct marketing purposes.

​

• Withdraw your consent if Aether has relied upon ‘consent’ for the processing of personal data.

​

• Restrict the processing of your information, for example limiting the material that you receive or where your information is transferred.

​

• Object to any decisions based on the automated processing of your personal data, including profiling (although Aether does not use any automated processing or profiling). 

​

• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (https://ico.org.uk/concerns/) if you are not happy with the way we manage or process personal data.

​

​

Will I be notified of changes to this policy?
