How we may use your personal data
The Fund, as the data controller, may collect, store and use your personal data for lawful purposes disclosed below:
(i) to reflect your ownership of shares in the Fund (i.e. where this is necessary for the performance of the contract to purchase shares in the Fund or to process redemption, conversion, transfer and additional subscription requests or the payment of distributions);
(ii) to discharge our anti-money laundering obligation to verify the identity of our customers (and, if applicable their beneficial owners) or to confirm that a customer meets any applicable regulatory criteria or for prevention of fraud or for regulatory or tax reporting purposes or in response to legal requests or requests from regulatory authorities (i.e. where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject); and/or
(iii) for direct marketing purposes (that is, us providing you with information on products and services) or for quality control, business and statistical analysis or for tracking fees and costs or for customer service, training and related purposes (i.e. where this is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of us or a third party and such legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms and provided that we are acting in a fair, transparent and accountable manner and have taken appropriate steps to prevent such activity having any unwarranted impact on you and also noting your right to object to such uses, as discussed below).
SEI Investments - Global Fund Services, Limited, (the "Administrator") may use your personal data where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which it is directly subject (i.e. to comply with applicable law in the area of anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing or where mandated by a court order or regulatory sanction). The Administrator, in respect of this specific use of personal data, acts as a data controller.
SEI Investments Depositary and Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited, (the "Depositary") may use your personal data where this is necessary for compliance with its legal obligation to which it is directly subject (i.e. in order to complete cash monitoring and oversight services). The Depositary, in respect of this specific use of personal data, acts as a data controller.
Should we wish to use your personal data for other specific purposes (including, if applicable, any purpose that requires your consent), we will contact you.
