7. How does FSI use Personal data
7.1 The information we use will depend on the nature of the business relationship, as follows:

Failure to provide relevant information will mean that we will not be able to on-board a potential investor or client.
In relation to investors in our funds, we may process information collected for the purpose of account administration and other general business purposes (for example, for processing subscriptions and investments; maintaining the share register of investors, carrying out investor instructions; handling any complaints and enquiries; sending investor communications, including financial reports, valuations, corporate actions). In addition, in order to comply with regulatory obligations, we may collect and disclose certain information about our investors and certain related persons and their investments to the local tax authority and and/or other relevant tax authorities overseas.
In relation to our investment management clients, we may process Personal data for the purpose of managing and administering clients’ accounts, including providing valuations and periodic reports and informing clients of relevant information as required by the investment management agreement.
We may from time to time process Personal data of investors and clients to comply with legal and regulatory requirements impacting our business. In particular, we may need in the context of our business: to obtain legal advice on legal and regulatory requirements; to report to relevant regulators; to comply with market opening and registration requirements in the conduct of our business; prevent or investigate any actual or suspected fraud; unlawful activity or misconduct; consider any concern or complain raised against FSI and/or to manage any legal action against FSI.

In addition, we may process the Personal data of investors introduced to our funds, as outlined above.
In relation to our general business contacts (including consultants and intermediaries who act for our mutual clients), we may process Personal data for general business purposes such as: for public relations and corporate communications purposes; providing thought leadership articles; networking/relationship building; conducting market research and gathering industry statistics; evaluating products and services; when visiting our offices; and assisting with any queries.
We may process Personal data to analyse the performance of IT systems, monitor usage of resources and systems and to improve products, services and usability of our technology platform, including telephone calls and electronic communications with our staff which may be recorded for the purposes of retaining a record of communications; in the interests of security; for training and compliance monitoring purposes and/or to comply with legal or regulatory obligations.
In relation to job applicants, to consider an application for employment.
In relation to employees and contractors, we may process Personal data for the purpose of complying with tax, employment/labour and workplace health and safety regulations (including management of working hours, sick leave and the health and safety of personnel, talent management including promotions and position assignments/reassignments and the administration and payment of wages and benefits). Personal data of employees may also be used for the purposes of managing or ending the employment or other contractual relationship and disputes with employees, including defending claims brought by employees. We may also use information for other purposes required or authorised by or under law (including purposes for which consent has been provided).
7.2 We are entitled to use Personal data in these ways because:
We have legal and regulatory obligations that we have to discharge;
We may need to in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights or for the purpose of legal proceedings;
The use of Personal data as described is necessary for our legitimate business interests (or the legitimate interests of one or more of our affiliates);

When we disclose Personal data to other companies within FSI, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that such Personal data is shared and treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.
8.3 FSI related companies and third parties are located in jurisdictions including, but not limited to, Australia, Canada, Cayman Islands, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Singapore, United Kingdom, and the United States.

8.5 The following is a list of the types of third parties who process Personal data on our behalf:

8.7 We may disclose to relevant tax authorities, regulators, government departments, competent authorities of the UK or of other countries, or other government or law enforcement agencies (without limitation) any Personal data (including tax status, identity or residency or other personal and payment information, documents or self-certifications) in order to comply with a court order or to meet legal and regulatory requirements arising in the conduct of our business. Such disclosure may be made directly to such regulators or competent authorities etc. or made indirectly to our advisers or providers who will make such filings or disclosures on our behalf.
8.8 With your consent, we may also disclose Personal data to other third parties and for other purposes. That consent may be written, verbal or implied from conduct.
For those located in the United Kingdom or Europe,
8.9 In relation to data transfers outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or UK, we may transfer Personal data of individuals located in the UK or Europe to our affiliates (including outside the EEA or UK) and/or allow the information to be accessed by our affiliates and their employees outside the EEA or UK as well as within it. It may also be processed by personnel operating outside the EEA or UK who work for us or for one of our third party service providers.
8.10 Where we transfer such Personal data outside the EEA or UK, we will ensure that it is protected in a manner that is consistent with how Personal data is protected by us in the EEA or UK or that the transfer is otherwise compliant with data protection laws. This can be done in a number of ways, for example:
the country that we send the data to might be approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (“UK ICO”);
the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission or UK ICO, obliging them to protect your Personal data; or
where data protection laws permit us to transfer Personal data outside the EEA or UK
