Privacy Notice

1. Who we are

This website, fourwindspartners.com (the "Website"), is operated by FourWinds Capital Partners, Ltd. ("FWCP", "we", "us"), a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales.

FWCP is the controller of the personal data processed through this Website for the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018. For any privacy-related enquiry, please contact us at contact@fourwindspartners.com.

2. Personal data we collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Contact data you provide to us — when you contact us through the Website, by email, or in the course of a business relationship: name, professional email address, telephone number, employer, and role, together with the content of your communication.
  • Business relationship data — where you are an investor, adviser, counterparty, portfolio company contact, or other professional contact of FWCP: identification and professional contact details, and information required for us to comply with legal and regulatory obligations (including anti-money-laundering and know-your-client requirements).
  • Recruitment data — if you apply for a position with us: your CV, covering letter, and any information you provide during the process.
  • Website usage data — technical data collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy.

We do not intentionally collect special category data through this Website.

3. Purposes and lawful bases

We process personal data for the following purposes:

  • Responding to enquiries and managing correspondence — Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • Managing business and investor relationships — Performance of a contract or steps prior to a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • Complying with legal and regulatory obligations, including AML/KYC — Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)).

  • Website operation, security, and analytics — Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)); consent where required for non-essential cookies (Art. 6(1)(a)).

Where we rely on legitimate interests, our interest is the effective operation, promotion, and security of our business; we have assessed that this is not overridden by your rights and interests.

  • Regulators, public authorities, and law enforcement, where required by law.

5. International transfers

Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where this is the case, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. How long we keep your data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above and thereafter as required to comply with legal and regulatory obligations (including applicable limitation periods). Recruitment data is retained for [12] months after the conclusion of a process, unless you consent to a longer period.

7. Your rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to, rectification or erasure of your personal data, restriction of or objection to its processing, and data portability, as well as the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

You can exercise these rights by writing to privacy@fourwindspartners.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113, although we would welcome the opportunity to address your concerns first.
