Zetland may collect personal data through a range of means. These may include direct interactions (where a person provides personal data to Zetland through correspondence or other direct methods of communication), through third-party service providers (for example, recruitment agents) or publicly available sources (where Zetland receives personal data through a publicly available source such as a website or publicly-available registry).

These circumstances include where the processing of the relevant data relates to a legitimate interest of Zetland, further described below. In such circumstances Zetland will have established that the processing is necessary for the relevant purpose, and not inconsistent with the interests, rights or freedoms of a relevant data subject.
In accordance with the above, Zetland has determined that the lawful bases for its processing of personal data are the legitimate interests of Zetland to undertake activities necessary and ancillary to the carrying on of an investment management business, including where necessary for the purposes of Zetland carrying out its activities relating to any fund, vehicle or account in respect of which  Zetland acts as manager, investment manager, sub-investment manager, investment adviser or sub-investment adviser (the “Funds”), the administration of the Funds, the investment activities of the Funds, otherwise in furtherance of any contract entered into with respect to the activities of the Funds, to exercise and comply with the relevant Fund’s or Zetland’s rights and obligations at law or under regulation where such obligations are not set out under the laws of any member state of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), to establish, exercise or defend legal claims and in order to protect and enforce its (or another person’s) rights, property, or safety, or to assist others to do the same, and in order to provide information about its services and any investment products it offers.
In addition, Zetland may also control or process personal data where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations applicable to them under the laws of the European Union or any member state of the EEA, or in order to give effect to a contract, or to take necessary pre-contractual steps with a view to potentially entering into a contract (including in its capacity as an employer or a prospective employer), to the extent applicable.
