The purpose of this notice is to provide individuals with information on the way Lightyear Capital LLC (together with the investment funds advised by Lightyear Capital LLC and its affiliates, “Lightyear”) uses personal information.

Personal information

In connection with offering, forming, and operating private investment funds, Lightyear may collect, record, store, adapt, and otherwise process and use personal information either relating to investors, to prospective investors, or to their partners, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, ultimate beneficial owners or affiliates or to any other data subjects. Personal information collected and maintained may include, without limitation:

Personal identifiers, such as name and contact details (including physical addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers).
Identity verification information and documentation such as government identification numbers (e.g., passport number, drivers’ license number, Social Security number, and tax id number), date of birth, place of birth, and legal and regulatory status under various laws and regulations (e.g., tax status, income, and assets).
Account and financial transaction information such as account data (e.g., wire instructions and account information), transaction history, commitment size, investment experience and investment activity, accounts and transactions with other institutions, source of funds used to make an investment, and information regarding the individual’s interest in a fund (e.g., ownership percentage, capital investment, income, and losses).
Information reflecting preferences or characteristics (e.g., risk tolerance and investment preferences).

Uses of personal information

Lightyear collects and maintains personal information for a number of reasons, including, without limitation:

Verifying the identity of prospective investors;
Communicating with investors and prospective investors, or their representatives, advisors and agents (including the negotiation, preparation and signature of documentation);
Contacting investors and prospective investors with information about products and services provided by Lightyear that Lightyear may consider may be of interest to investors;
Qualifying investors for investment in a particular fund;
Performing relevant contractual obligations and administering the investor’s investment in a fund;
Facilitating the transfer of funds, and administering and facilitating any other transaction, between investors and Lightyear;
Sending financial or capital account statements or tax documents;
Any purposes ancillary to the management and operation of a fund and/or any of its investments;
Fulfilling requests or replying to inquiries from investors and prospective investors;
Investigating any complaints, or pursuing or defending any claims, proceedings or disputes;
Protecting the security and integrity of Lightyear’s information technology systems;
Evaluating and complying with anti-money laundering, regulatory, and tax requirements; and
Complying with other legal and regulatory obligations.

Lightyear processes personal information where necessary for the compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation, for the performance of a contract, in connection with legitimate interests of Lightyear, or on the basis of consent received from the relevant individuals in compliance with the applicable legal requirements in respect to that consent.

Sources of personal information

Lightyear collects and maintains personal information from the following sources:

Through subscription agreements, investor questionnaires, or other forms that the investor or prospective investor submits to Lightyear or contracts that the investor enters into with Lightyear;
Through transactions with Lightyear, its affiliates, or others;
Through meetings and telephone conversations with investors or prospective investors and from interactions Lightyear may have with investors or prospective investors over the Internet or via other technologies.

Consequences of not providing personal information

Lightyear requires personal information in respect to a fund to be able to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations and to operate a fund. Accordingly, if personal information is not provided, a prospective investor may not be able to invest in a fund.

Sharing personal information

Lightyear may share personal information with its affiliates and delegates, including, without limitation, certain third-party service providers, such as accountants, auditors, attorneys, consultants, placement agents, administrators, and lenders (each, a “Service Provider”), that it has engaged to perform certain activities on Lightyear’s behalf. There may also be circumstances where Lightyear, its affiliates, delegates, or Service Providers are obliged by law to disclose personal information or determine that it is otherwise appropriate to do so, including to law enforcement agencies and applicable regulators.

Location of personal information

Due to the international nature of Lightyear’s business, personal information may be transferred to other jurisdictions. For residents of the European Union (“EU”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”), personal information may be transferred to jurisdictions outside the EU or the UK that are not deemed to have data protection frameworks that are equivalent to those of the EU countries, including the United States of America (“US”). For residents of the Cayman Islands, personal information may be transferred to jurisdictions that do not offer equivalent protection of personal information as under Cayman Islands Data Protection Law, 2017, including the US.

Cross-border transfers may be to Lightyear entities, to governmental, regulatory or judicial authorities, auditors, attorneys or agents as well as to Service Providers engaged by Lightyear.

In cases of cross-border transfers, Lightyear will process personal information or procure that it will be processed in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate data protection legislation where possible, which may include having appropriate contractual undertakings in legal agreements with Service Providers who process personal information on its behalf.

Retention periods

Lightyear will keep personal information for as long as it is required by Lightyear for the purposes described in this notice. For example, Lightyear may require personal information for its legitimate business purposes, to perform its contractual obligations, or as required or requested by law or regulation. Lightyear will generally retain an investor’s personal information throughout the lifecycle of the relevant fund(s). Some personal information will be retained after an investor’s relationship with Lightyear ends. Lightyear expects to delete personal information once there is no longer any legal or regulatory requirement or legitimate business purpose for retaining the personal information.
