"Investment research is the process of reducing large piles of information to manageable ones, distilling the investment wheat from the chaff. There is needless to say, a lot of chaff and very little wheat." – Seth Klarman

Privacy Statement

We use and protect your data just like ours!

Compliance with data protection laws (specifically with the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU [GDPR]) and thus the protection and confidentiality of your personal data is one of our company’s key concerns. This privacy statement informs you how we process personal data in our role as investment sub-advisor to Anemothiela Global Equity Strategy and outlines in particular the rights to which you are entitled with respect to your personal data.

General

The processing of personal data, especially of the name, the address, the email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always handled in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation as well as with the country-specific data protection provisions to which our company is subject. With this privacy statement, ANEMOTHIELA Ltd. wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purposes of the personal data that we collect, use, and process. Further, this privacy statement informs data subjects about the rights that they have.

Legal framework and purposes

We process personal data in compliance with the provisions of the GDPR based on the following legal framework and for the following purposes:

  • Due to your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR)

Use and storage of your personal data

Forwarding of data
Entities within and outside our company may obtain access to your data. If the company’s business activities and services are fully or partially outsourced (e.g. IT systems and operation or optimization of the website) this will be done in compliance with applicable legal provisions. These companies are bound by the code of confidentiality and the privacy statement.

Data erasure and storage

We process and store your personal data for the entire duration of the business relationship, from the initiation to the termination of the contract. After the termination of a contract, which eliminates the purpose of storage, the duration of storage depends on legal safekeeping and documentation obligations. Safekeeping periods may extend across 10 or more years.

Rights and obligations

Data protection rights

Right of confirmation
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data about you is being processed.

Right of access
You have the right to gain access, free of charge and at any time, to stored personal data about you and to obtain a copy of such data.

Right to rectification
You have the right to demand the immediate rectification of incorrect personal data that relate to you.

Right to erasure
You have the right to demand the immediate erasure of personal data related to your person if no processing is required.

Right to retract
You have the right to retract your consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning your person and which was provided by you, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

Exercising rights

We accept requests for information in writing, accompanied by a legible certified copy of a valid identification document (e.g. passport, ID card, driver’s license). You can exercise further rights by sending us an appropriate message.

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in an EU or EEA member state, in particular at the place where you live or work or where the alleged infringement of the provisions of the GDPR took place. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Swiss Data Protection Office (Autorité de protection des données et de droit à l’information), Rue Saint-Martin 6, Case Postale 5485, 1002 Lausanne, Switzerland.

Obligation to provide personal data

Please be advised that the provision of personal data may be required by law or can be the result of contractual provisions (information concerning the contractual party, etc.). To finalize a contract with us, it may be necessary for you to provide us with personal data that we will subsequently need to process. For example, you are obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contact with you. The non-provision of personal data would prevent the finalization of the contract.

You are not obliged to consent to data processing of those data that are not relevant and/or not required for legal or regulatory reasons to fulfil the contract.

Contact and mailing list

If you contact us by email or via a contact form, the personal data you share with us is automatically stored. The same applies if you use the subscription form. Such personal data communicated on a voluntary basis is stored to enable processing or contact purposes. In selecting a subscription, or for as long as you are on our mailing list, you consent to the terms of this privacy statement.

Email communication with us is currently open and unencrypted. We are therefore not able to exclude the possibility that data sent by email will not be seen by third parties and contacts made to us will not be retraced.  Data may also move across national boundaries, even if the sender and recipient are located in the same country. Confidentiality is therefore not always guaranteed in email communication.
