This Policy is issued by The Care Leaders and is addressed to individuals outside our organisation with whom we interact, including visitors to our websites (our “Sites”), customers, partners, personnel of partners and customers, vendors, and other recipients of our services. The Care Leaders is aware of its obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and is committed to processing your data securely and transparently. This privacy notice sets out, in line with UK GDPR, the types of data that we may hold on you. It also sets out how we collect the data, use that information, how long we keep it for, and other relevant information about your data.

Processing your Personal Data

Collection of Personal Data: We collect Personal Data about you, subject to applicable law, from a variety of sources as follows:

• We obtain your Personal Data when you provide it to us (e.g., where you contact us via email or telephone, or by any other means).
• We collect your Personal Data in the ordinary course of our relationship with you (e.g., in the course of managing your transactions or your investment in our funds).
• We collect Personal Data that you manifestly choose to make public, including via social media (e.g., we may collect information from your social media profile(s), to the extent that you choose to make your profile publicly visible).
• We receive your Personal Data from third parties who provide it to us in line with current legislation.
• We collect or obtain Personal Data when you visit any of our Sites or use any features or resources available on or through a Site. When you visit a Site, your device and browser may automatically disclose certain information (such as device type, operating system, browser type, browser settings, IP address, language settings, dates and times of connecting to a Site and other technical communications information), some of which may constitute Personal Data.
• In the course of our involvement in a particular research project, we might obtain personal data from our clients for scientific research purposes. This collection of information is integral to our engagement, and it aligns with the specific goals and requirements of the research initiative/project. We handle this personal data responsibly, adhering to ethical standards. Our commitment is to contribute valuable insights to the field of research while upholding the privacy and rights of the individuals whose data is involved in our studies.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, unauthorised access, and other unlawful or unauthorised forms of Processing, in accordance with applicable law.

You are responsible for ensuring that any Personal Data that you send to us are sent securely.

Data Accuracy

We take reasonable steps designed to ensure that:

• your Personal Data that we Process are accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; and
• any of your Personal Data that we Process that are inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which they are Processed) are erased or rectified without delay.

Data Minimisation

We take reasonable steps designed to ensure that your Personal Data that we Process are limited to the Personal Data reasonably required in connection with the purposes set out in this Privacy notice.

Data Retention

We take every reasonable step to ensure that your Personal Data are only Processed for the minimum period necessary for the purposes set out in this Notice. The criteria for determining the duration for which we will retain your Personal Data are as follows:

(1) we will retain copies of your Personal Data in a form that permits identification only for as long as:

1. we maintain an ongoing relationship with you (e.g., where you are a recipient of our services, or you are lawfully included in our mailing list and have not unsubscribed); or
2. your Personal Data are necessary in connection with the lawful purposes set out in this Notice, for which we have a valid legal basis,

plus:

(2) the duration of:

1. any applicable limitation period under applicable law (i.e., any period during which any person could bring a legal claim against us in connection with your Personal Data, or to which your Personal Data may be relevant); and
2. an additional two (2) month period following the end of such applicable limitation period (so that, if a person bring a claim at the end of the limitation period, we are still afforded a reasonable amount of time in which to identify any Personal Data that are relevant to that claim),

and:

(3) in addition, if any relevant legal claims are brought, we may continue to Process your Personal Data for such additional periods as are necessary in connection with that claim.

During the periods noted in paragraphs (2)a and (2)b above, we will restrict our Processing of your Personal Data to storage of, and maintaining the security of, those data, except to the extent that those data need to be reviewed in connection with any legal claim, or any obligation under applicable law.

Once the periods in paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) above, each to the extent applicable, have concluded, we will either:

• permanently delete or destroy the relevant Personal Data;
• archive your Personal Data so that it is beyond use; or
• anonymize the relevant Personal Data.
