Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal information and how we will treat it. Please note that this privacy notice does not apply to our clients based in the United States or elsewhere outside of the EU or the UK.
Baron Capital has a company registered in England and Wales with company number 12160343 and having its registered office address at Suite 1, 3rd Floor, 11-12 St James’s Square, London SW1Y 4LB (Baron Capital Management UK Limited). This company will usually be the principal ‘data controller’ of your personal information, as Baron Capital’s main establishment in the EU or UK, and is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, including any UK version of that legislation (the “GDPR”). Baron Capital is a ‘data controller’ subject to the GDPR only insofar as we are offering goods or services to individuals in the EU or the UK.
This privacy notice was updated on December 16, 2019 and supersedes any previous notice or similar terms provided by, or on behalf of, Baron Capital in connection with the services we provide to you. Please note that this privacy notice does not apply to our clients based in the United States or elsewhere outside of the EU.

• when you ask us to provide services to you and provide us with your personal data in application forms for investment management services (and in accompanying identification documents);
• from third parties and publicly available sources, for example when we carry out due diligence checks on you before we can accept you as a client;
• from third party introducers or intermediaries, and from your agents and representatives, where they are interacting with us on your behalf (for example, brokers, custodians or your assets or tax advisors);
• in other ways as you interact with us during your time as our clients, for example when you meet with us or when we exchange formal correspondence and other communications with you.
Categories of Personal Information Collected
We receive personal information from Europe-based clients, principals, beneficial owners, beneficiaries and investors which includes:
• Category 1 - biographical and contact information such as name, title, address, business and/or personal telephone number, business and/or personal email addresses.
• Category 2 – verification and due diligence information such as passport, driving license, utility bill, credit or bank card statement, and country of residence, country of origin/nationality, country of domicile/tax residency, tax reference number, date of birth, and occupation.
• Category 3 – financial and business-related information such as bank account details and information relating to your financial situation such as your assets, net worth, income, source of wealth and investment objectives.

Purposes and Lawful Bases for Processing Personal Information
We may use your personal information for the following purposes:
• to carry out our obligations necessary for the performance of a contract with you, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract. This may include obligations such as those arising from any agreement entered into with us by or on behalf of clients, principals, beneficial owners, beneficiaries and investors, including contacting such individuals; to contact such individuals with information messages about the investment; and for administration purposes to the extent allowed by applicable law;
• to comply with our legal obligations. In this respect we may process your personal information:
• to complete anti-money laundering checks and other checks as are required by law;
• to meet other compliance and regulatory obligations, including in order to comply with any requirement of any applicable statute, regulation or regulatory rule to which we are subject;
• to tailor our advice and services to clients, principals, beneficial owners, beneficiaries and investors.
We may also process your personal information because it is necessary for our and/or a third party’s legitimate interests. These include our commercial interests in operating our business and may include using your information to monitor and evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our services.
We may also process your personal information where it is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest; it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or where we have your specific or, where necessary, explicit consent to do so.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not disclose any of your personal information to any third parties, except as reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the management of the funds, to processors who are only permitted to use it to perform services for us, or as required by law or any applicable regulatory authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our company or its clients or others. In these cases we may share personal information with legal advisors, accountants, fund administrators, companies engaged to dispose of or store data including personal information, and adverse parties who have a legal right to receive such information and their counsel and experts and legal advisors.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that where personal information is shared it is treated securely and in accordance with this notice and applicable laws.
Transferring your personal data outside of Europe
In the course of providing services to you, we will transfer your personal data outside of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), principally to Baron Capital’s offices and servers in the United States. This means that your personal data will not have the automatic protection of European data protection laws (including the GDPR) which apply in the EEA.

We will only transfer personal information to a third party service provider if they agree to comply with those procedures and policies, or if they put in place adequate measures themselves.
Personal Information Retention
We will endeavour not to keep personal information in a form that allows you to be identified for any longer than is reasonably necessary for achieving the permitted purposes. This means that personal information will be destroyed or erased from our systems or anonymised when it has reached the applicable retention period.
