About Rutland Gate Partners

​

Rutland Gate Partners is an investment holding company.

​

What is personal information?

​

“Personal information” or “your information” is any information about an identifiable person. This includes information such as your name, address, telephone number, birth date, and e-mail address. This Privacy Policy does not cover information other than personal information, such as business or anonymized information.

​

Information we collect about you and how we collect it

​

The type of personal information we collect depends on various factors, such as any applicable legal and regulatory obligations and the channel through which you communicate with us.

​

How we collect information

​

From you. While navigating our website, during an email, in-person or telephone interaction, or through your interactions with our third-party partners or service providers, we may ask that you provide us with your personal information for certain purposes. We may also collect your personal information when you request information from us or otherwise communicate with us in the ordinary course of our business. In all cases where you voluntarily provide personal information to us, we undertake to collect, use and/or disclose it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.

​

From third parties in the course of transactions. Rutland Gate strives to limit collection, use and disclosure of personal data in the course of transactions. However, where reasonably necessary for business transactions, we may collect personal information from, or disclose personal information to, third parties.

​

From third parties for other purposes. We may also collect information from third parties to manage business and credit risk; detect, prevent, manage, investigate or protect against fraud or other unauthorized or illegal activity.

​

What information we collect

​

Rutland Gate may collect personal information such as:

• Contact information that allows us to communicate with you, such as your name, address, telephone number, email, or other electronic address;

• Identity information that allows us to establish and verify your identity, including government-issued identification, date of birth, occupation, and similar details;

• Online activity information, like your IP address and how you use our website, which is obtained from your online interactions with us (see “When interacting with us online” below); and

• Any other information you choose to provide us.

 

In addition to the purposes identified in this Privacy Policy, we may inform you of other purposes from time to time, either in writing or orally.

De-identified, aggregate or anonymized information

 

We may also de-identify or anonymize information to identify trends, manage our business, develop statistical information, or understand how we are performing.

 

Sharing your information

 

To perform the activities identified above, we may share your information with our affiliates, business partners, and third parties who perform services on our behalf. These service providers include:

• Compliance, human resource and business consultants, to support our internal business operations and to assess and manage business transactions (including potential transactions) and existing investments;

• IT service providers, to assist with IT functions, such as operating and protecting our website and other IT assets; and

• Professionals, to obtain professional advice and services, such as from lawyers or accountants.

 

In addition, Rutland Gate may disclose your personal information to:

• third parties in connection with a potential business transaction (such as a merger, sale of all or part of its business, transfer of assets, bankruptcy, or similar event), or as part of completing such a transaction;

• any third party required to comply with legal obligations, enforce our policies, protect our or others’ rights, interests, property or safety, and prevent, investigate or otherwise address any harmful, unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal activity; or

• anyone else to whom you authorize us to disclose it.

 

In certain circumstances, Rutland Gate may have a legal duty or right to disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent. For example, Rutland Gate may need to disclose personal information in order to comply with tax or corporate governance legislation, for loss and fraud prevention, or as part of supervisory examinations by regulatory or other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over us or our affiliates.

 

Retention and international storage of your information

 

Rutland Gate retains personal information only for the amount of time needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or as permitted by law, after which the personal information is destroyed or made anonymous. Unless you tell us otherwise, your consent remains valid after termination of our relationship with you.

 

Rutland Gate, our affiliates, and our service providers may transfer, store or access your personal information across Canada, the United States, or other countries. This means that your personal information may be transferred or stored outside your province, state, or country of residence, and may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions.

 

Europe and the United Kingdom

 

If you are dealing with us within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the UK, please note that any personal information (sometimes called “personal data”) that we hold may be transferred to, and stored at, a country outside of the EEA or the UK. Where we transfer data to our affiliates or service providers in countries outside the EEA or the UK, we will do so in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

 

Safeguarding your information

 

Personal information under Rutland Gate’s control is protected by physical, organizational and technological safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information. Rutland Gate will take steps to protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure, and maintains physical, computer and network security measures.

 

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted to us, and any transmission is at your own risk.
