The policies and procedures adopted by the Oceanwood Entities with respect to the control or processing of personal data may be amended from time to time. Similarly, the purposes for which the Oceanwood Entities may control or process personal data may change from time to time. If any changes would require a material amendment to the information set out herein, details of such changes will be made available in the current version of this notice from time to time.
Summary of Personal Data
For the purposes of GDPR, personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. In the course of its business, Oceanwood Entities may collect, use, store and transfer personal information from individuals that are employees, directors, officers or other representatives or agents of market counterparties, professional services and other service providers, trade associations, public bodies and other entities or undertakings. Such personal data is typically limited in scope, and includes, for example, the name and contact details of such individuals, as well as some technical data (such as internet protocol addresses), usage data and information about marketing and communication preferences.
[In addition, the Oceanwood Entities may also use, store and transfer personal information concerning former applicants for positions of employment at or membership of, or former employees or members of, the Oceanwood Entities. Such personal data may include some or all of the following: name and contact details, information about employment and educational history, performance records, salary data, references, account details, identification data, tax information, social security numbers and information regarding immigration status. The Oceanwood Entities will endeavour to contact those former job applicants or former employees if the personal data processed in relation to the same is material in order to inform them of the continued processing of their personal data, the nature of that processing, the lawful basis upon which the processing is taking place, and their rights under the GDPR with respect to such processing.
Collection of Personal Data
The Oceanwood Entities may collect personal data through a range of means. These may include direct interactions (where a person provides personal data to the relevant Oceanwood Entity through correspondence or other direct methods of communication), through third-party service providers (for example, recruitment agents) or publicly available sources (where an Oceanwood Entity receives personal data through a publicly available source such as a website or publicly-available registry).
Use of Personal Data
The Oceanwood Entities will only process personal data in circumstances where they have established a lawful basis under GDPR to do so. These circumstances include where the processing of the relevant data relates to a legitimate interest of the relevant Oceanwood Entity, further described below. In such circumstances the Oceanwood Entities will have established that the processing is necessary for the relevant purpose, and not inconsistent with the interests, rights or freedoms of a relevant data subject.
In accordance with the above, each Oceanwood Entity has determined that the lawful bases for its processing of personal data are the legitimate interests of the relevant Oceanwood Entity to undertake activities necessary and ancillary to the carrying on of an investment management business, including where necessary for the purposes of the relevant Oceanwood Entity carrying out its activities relating to any fund, vehicle or account in respect of which an Oceanwood Entity acts as manager, investment manager, sub-investment manager, investment adviser or sub-investment adviser (the “Funds”), the administration of the Funds, the investment activities of the Funds, otherwise in furtherance of any contract entered into with respect to the activities of the Funds, to exercise and comply with the relevant Fund’s or Oceanwood Entity’s rights and obligations at law or under regulation where such obligations are not set out under the laws of any member state of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), to establish, exercise or defend legal claims and in order to protect and enforce its (or another person’s) rights, property, or safety, or to assist others to do the same, and in order to provide information about its services and any investment products it offers.
In addition, each Oceanwood Entity may also control or process personal data where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to them under the laws of the European Union or any member state of the EEA, or in order to give effect to a contract, or to take necessary pre-contractual steps with a view to potentially entering into a contract (including in its capacity as an employer or a prospective employer), to the extent applicable.
Oceanwood Entities may from time to time control or process personal data for the purposes of operating their business, entering into contractual arrangements in the context of their investment management business, including in respect of marketing and advertising the Funds and/or other investment vehicles and/or services related to the Oceanwood Entities. Any person subject to GDPR who does not wish their personal data to be processed for marketing purposes may opt out of such processing by notifying the compliance department of Oceanwood Capital Management Limited at compliance@oceanwood.com.
Any Oceanwood Entity will only use personal data for the purposes that it has been collected for, unless they reasonably consider that they need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose of the control or processing. Any person requiring information with respect to any additional purpose for which personal data may be controlled or processed may obtain such information from the compliance department of Oceanwood Capital Management Limited at compliance@oceanwood.com. If an Oceanwood Entity needs to control or process personal data for an unrelated purpose, the relevant Oceanwood Entity will use its reasonable endeavours to notify affected persons and to explain the basis on which they are permitted to undertake the same.
Disclosure of Personal Data
Each Oceanwood Entity may share personal data with certain third parties for the purposes set out above. The relevant third parties with whom such personal data may be shared include entities appointed to provide services to the Funds, the relevant Oceanwood Entity and their affiliates, and regulatory, legal and tax authorities. Further details of the third parties with whom personal data may be shared are available on request from the compliance department of Oceanwood Capital Management Limited at compliance@oceanwood.com. Wherever possible, personal data will only be disclosed by an Oceanwood Entity to a third party in circumstances where that third party has agreed to respect the security of personal data and treat it in accordance with applicable law. The Oceanwood Entities will seek to ensure that third parties to whom any personal data may be disclosed will not use personal data for their own purposes and only process personal data for specified purposes and otherwise in accordance with the instructions of the relevant Oceanwood Entity and/or with the GDPR.
Transfer of Personal Data outside the European Economic Area
The activities of the Oceanwood Entities are such that it may be necessary for personal data to be transferred and/or processed outside the EEA.
In circumstances where an Oceanwood Entity transfers personal data outside the EEA, they will seek to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that personal data is generally transferred only to persons in countries outside the EEA in one of the following circumstances.
Further information on specific mechanisms utilised by Oceanwood Entities transferring personal data outside the EEA and the countries to which such transfer may be made (which may include, but are not limited to the Cayman Islands and the United States) may be obtained from compliance department of Oceanwood Capital Management Limited at compliance@oceanwood.com upon request.
Data Retention
Each Oceanwood Entity will retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it has been collected. This will include any period of retention required to satisfy any legal, regulatory, taxation, accounting, regulatory or reporting requirement applicable to the relevant Oceanwood Entity.
In determining the appropriate retention period for any personal data, the relevant Oceanwood Entity will consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the data, the purpose for which the relevant data is being processed, the extent to which the purposes for which the relevant data is being processed can be achieved by other means and any applicable legal requirements. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Oceanwood Entities have determined that they will retain records for at least seven years.
In some circumstances, a person may request that an Oceanwood Entity delete any personal data retained by it. Further, in some circumstances, an Oceanwood Entity may anonymize personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case such information may be retained and utilised indefinitely without further notice.
Rights of Persons
Under GDPR, persons whose data is processed by an Oceanwood Entity will have certain rights. These rights include the right to access personal data, the right to require correction of personal data, the right to require erasure of personal data in certain circumstances, the right to restrict processing of personal data, and the right to require a transfer of personal data. In addition, if the processing of personal data is based on a legitimate interest of an Oceanwood Entity, a person will have the right to object to the processing of that personal data.
Any person seeking to exercise any such right should contact compliance department of Oceanwood Capital Management Limited at compliance@oceanwood.com. In certain circumstances, the relevant Oceanwood Entity may charge reasonable fees if any such request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.
Under Rule 2.2.3R of the FCA's Conduct of Business Sourcebook, Oceanwood Capital Management LLP ( “Oceanwood”) is required to disclose the nature of its commitment to the UK Financial Reporting Council's Stewardship Code (the "Code") or, where it does not commit to the Code, its alternative investment strategy. The Code is a voluntary code and sets out a number of principles relating to engagement by investors with UK equity issuers. Investors that commit to the Code can either comply with it in full or choose not to comply with aspects of the Code, in which case they are required to explain their non-compliance.
Oceanwood employs a European-focused event-driven investment strategy which involves, among others, investments in equities, including UK equities. The Code is therefore relevant to only certain aspects of Oceanwood's investment process. While Oceanwood generally supports the objectives that underlie the Code, Oceanwood has chosen not to commit to the Code. Oceanwood invests in a variety of asset classes and in a variety of jurisdictions and its approach in relation to the engagement with issuers and their management will vary on a case by case basis. Therefore, Oceanwood does not consider it appropriate to commit to any particular voluntary code of practice relating to any individual jurisdiction or asset class.
Oceanwood Capital Management LLP does not currently consider the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors in accordance with Article 4 of the SFDR, as the detailed rules and guidance regarding such disclosure have not been finalised.
