PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction

Fortiland is committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of individuals with whom it interacts, including visitors to its website, clients, prospective clients, investors, business partners, service providers and professional contacts.

Fortiland operates through separate legal entities in different jurisdictions, including Fortiland Ltd. in the United Kingdom, Fortiland S.à r.l. in Luxembourg, including its Italian Branch, and, where relevant, other Fortiland entities.

For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, the relevant Fortiland entity acts as data controller in respect of personal data processed in connection with its own activities and responsibilities.

Fortiland Ltd., established in the United Kingdom, processes personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018 and other applicable UK data protection legislation.

Fortiland S.à r.l., established in Luxembourg, processes personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) and applicable Luxembourg data protection legislation.

Fortiland S.à r.l. – Italian Branch processes personal data in connection with its activities in Italy in accordance with the GDPR and applicable Italian data protection legislation.

Where more than one Fortiland entity is involved in a particular relationship or activity, each entity may act as an independent controller for the processing falling within its respective responsibilities.

References in this Privacy Policy to “Fortiland”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to the relevant Fortiland entity or entities, depending on the context.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain and protect personal data and describes the rights available to individuals under applicable data protection laws.

This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect personal data relating to children.

We may process personal data for the following purposes.

Business and professional relationships

To establish, manage and maintain relationships with clients, prospective clients, investors, advisers, counterparties, business partners, suppliers and other professional contacts.

To provide investment advisory, research and related services in connection with investment strategies, private markets and investment funds, including funds managed by third-party authorised managers or management companies.

Marketing and business development

Where permitted by applicable law, to send professional or business-related information that we reasonably believe may be relevant to you.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Website operation and security

To operate, maintain, secure and improve our website, understand its use and protect our systems against misuse, fraud and security threats.

Legal and corporate purposes

To establish, exercise or defend legal claims and to protect Fortiland’s legal, commercial and legitimate interests.

5. Legal bases for processing

We process personal data only where a lawful basis is available under the applicable data protection regime.

Depending on the circumstances, these may include:

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we assess those interests against the rights and freedoms of the individuals concerned.

6. Sharing personal data

We may share personal data where reasonably necessary with:

  • other Fortiland entities;
  • investment funds, management companies, AIFMs, investment managers and other entities with which we work;
  • administrators, custodians, banks and financial institutions;

  • other third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, we require appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards where required by applicable law.

We do not sell personal data.

7. International transfers

Because Fortiland operates internationally and works with service providers and counterparties in different jurisdictions, personal data may be transferred internationally.

For personal data subject to the UK GDPR, restricted transfers outside the United Kingdom will be made using a mechanism permitted under UK data protection law, such as UK adequacy regulations, appropriate safeguards or an applicable statutory exception. The ICO confirms these are the principal mechanisms for restricted transfers under the UK GDPR.

For personal data subject to the EU GDPR, transfers outside the European Economic Area will be made in accordance with Chapter V GDPR, including, where applicable, an adequacy decision, approved contractual safeguards or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

Where appropriate, such safeguards may include European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum, or other approved mechanisms.

8. Data retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, reporting and compliance obligations.

When determining retention periods, we may consider:

  • the nature and sensitivity of the information;
  • the purposes for which it is processed;
  • the nature and duration of our relationship with you;
  • legal and regulatory retention requirements;
  • limitation periods; and
  • the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

When personal data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it, as appropriate.

9. Data security

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

Access to personal data is limited to personnel, advisers, service providers and other persons who have a legitimate need to access it.

Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, they are required to process it in accordance with our instructions and applicable contractual and legal obligations.

We also maintain procedures for responding to personal data breaches and will notify affected individuals and the competent supervisory authority where required by law.

10. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary for its operation and, where enabled, analytics, security or other functionality.

Non-essential cookies are used only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after obtaining your consent.

Further information about the cookies and technologies actually used on our website, their purposes, duration and providers is available in our Cookies Policy and, where applicable, through our cookie preference settings.

11. Marketing communications

Where permitted by applicable law, we may send professional or business-related communications concerning Fortiland, our activities, events or other matters that we believe may be relevant to you.

The legal basis for such communications will depend on the circumstances and applicable jurisdiction.

Where consent is required, we will obtain it before sending the relevant communication.

Where permitted to rely on another lawful basis, including legitimate interests, we will provide an appropriate means to opt out.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time.

Opting out will not prevent us from contacting you where necessary in connection with an existing business relationship or for legal, regulatory, contractual or administrative purposes.

12. Your rights

Depending on the applicable data protection legislation and subject to relevant conditions, limitations and exemptions, you may have rights including:

  • access to your personal data;
  • correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
  • erasure of personal data;
  • restriction of processing;
  • objection to certain processing;
  • portability of certain personal data;
  • withdrawal of consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and
  • rights in relation to certain forms of automated decision-making.

Under the EU GDPR, these rights are principally set out in Articles 15–22. The Italian Garante and Luxembourg CNPD both confirm these rights for individuals whose data is processed under the GDPR.

Similar rights are available under the UK GDPR, subject to the applicable statutory requirements and exemptions.

Exercising your rights

To exercise your rights, please contact us using the contact details below.

You will generally not be required to pay a fee. However, where permitted by applicable law, a reasonable fee may be charged or a request may be refused where it is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity before responding to a request.

We aim to respond within the time period required under the applicable data protection legislation. Under the GDPR, this is generally one month, subject to permitted extensions for complex or numerous requests; the CNPD expressly confirms this framework.

13. Automated decision-making

Fortiland does not generally make decisions about individuals based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where those decisions produce legal effects or similarly significant effects.

If such processing is introduced in relation to a specific activity, we will provide the information and safeguards required under applicable law.

14. Third-party websites

Our website may contain links to websites, plug-ins or services operated by third parties.

Fortiland does not control those third parties and is not responsible for their privacy practices, security or content.

We recommend that you review the privacy information provided by any third-party website or service that you use.

Fortiland is an independent investment advisory platform focused on private markets and specialist investment strategies, operating through Fortiland Ltd. in the United Kingdom and Fortiland S.à r.l. in Luxembourg, including its Italian Branch.

Fortiland comprises Fortiland Ltd. and Fortiland S.à r.l., including Fortiland S.à r.l. – Italian Branch. The Italian Branch is a branch of Fortiland S.à r.l. and is not a separate legal entity.

References on this website, or in communications from Fortiland, to “Fortiland”, “we”, “us” or “our” may refer to one or more of these entities depending on the relevant activity, service or context.

Fortiland Ltd. and Fortiland S.à r.l. are separate legal entities and each has its own legal and regulatory status. The regulatory status, authorisations or permissions applicable to one Fortiland entity should not be understood as applying to another Fortiland entity unless expressly stated.

Regulatory status

Fortiland Ltd. (Company No. 11226052; FCA Firm Reference Number 988217) is an Appointed Representative of European and Global Advisers LLP (FCA Firm Reference Number 569000), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the United Kingdom.

Regulated activities undertaken by Fortiland Ltd. are carried out only within the scope of its appointment as an Appointed Representative and the permissions, requirements and oversight applicable through its principal.

The Appointed Representative status of Fortiland Ltd. does not extend to Fortiland S.à r.l. or its Italian Branch.

Activities undertaken by Fortiland S.à r.l. and its Italian Branch are carried out in accordance with the laws and regulatory requirements applicable to the relevant entity, activity and jurisdiction.

Investment advisory activities

Fortiland provides investment advisory, research and related services in connection with investment strategies and investment funds, including UCITS funds managed by third-party authorised managers or management companies.

Where a Fortiland entity acts as investment adviser to a fund, it does not thereby act as the fund’s management company, UCITS management company, AIFM or other regulated fund manager unless expressly stated.

The relevant authorised management company, investment manager, AIFM or other regulated service provider retains the duties and responsibilities allocated to it under applicable law, regulation and the relevant fund documentation, including, as applicable, responsibility for portfolio management, risk management, regulatory compliance and ultimate investment decisions.

Private equity and private markets

Fortiland is active in private equity and private market investment strategies and transactions, including the identification, analysis, origination, structuring, execution and monitoring of investment opportunities.

Depending on the relevant transaction, mandate or investment structure, the applicable Fortiland entity may act as an investor, adviser, originator, sponsor or in another capacity.

Where an investment fund or other collective investment vehicle is managed by an independent authorised AIFM, management company or other regulated manager, that entity retains the regulatory responsibilities associated with the management of the relevant fund.

The value of investments and any income derived from them may rise as well as fall, and investors may receive back less than the amount originally invested.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Private equity and other private market investments may involve additional risks, including limited liquidity, long holding periods, valuation uncertainty, concentration risk and the possibility of partial or total loss of invested capital.
