HOW WE COLLECT, USE, AND DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

What Information We Collect

When you enter and browse this website, we may collect information from you in two different ways: information you provide to us and information we collect through use of technology. We may collect and process the following personal information about you in connection with your use of this website and the other ways that you may interact with us such as visiting our premises, applying for employment, and other communications with us such as email:

 

 

 

We may also collect personal information from third party sources, which may include publicly available sources of information.  Additionally, we may collect and retain a record of all communications with you, in accordance with applicable regulatory statutes.

In addition, in general, we automatically gather certain technical information from our website visitors through our automatic data collection tools, including server logs, which may collect certain standard information that your browser sends to the website such as the number and frequency of your visits.  This information may include the URL of the last and next website you visit, your browser and operating system, your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, how long you spend on our website, and what pages you view here.  We may use this information on an aggregate basis to understand better how our visitors use our website; research our visitors’ demographics, interests, and behavior; improve our website; provide visitors with customized services and information; and for other similar purposes.

How Information is Used

We will collect personal information from you if you voluntarily provide it through our website or Investor Portal or otherwise, such as by providing your name, e-mail address, and other personal information to receive further information about us, and will use such personal information for the purpose of processing and responding to your inquiries and requests and to improve our website and offerings.  You are under no obligation to provide any such information.  However, if you choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with certain services, permit you to visit our premises, or apply for employment with us.

The provision of personal information by you may be necessary where we have a legitimate interest to carry out the following purposes: (i) to contact you and respond to your requests and enquiries; (ii) for business administration, including statistical analysis; (iii) to personalise your visit to the website and to assist you while you use the website; (iv) to improve the website by helping us understand who uses the website; (v) to maintain the security of our website, Investor Portal and premises; (vi) to screen and evaluate candidates for employment; (vii) to send you direct marketing in relation to our services and/or other activities such as events; and (v) to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or codes of practice.

We may disclose your non-personally identifiable information to others, such as investors, for informational or promotional purposes.  Non-personally identifiable information is information that does not personally identify you, including anonymous information and aggregate data.

We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers to facilitate our services and perform functions on our behalf, such as, without limitation, providing technical, analytical, and hosting functions for our website.  We may also disclose your personal information to affiliates and advisors of Northwood.  These entities and individuals may have access to the personal information we collect from you, as permitted by law and as needed to perform their functions in compliance with the privacy practices and policies of Northwood, but they may not use it for any other purpose.  We typically require that these companies and individuals otherwise keep this information confidential.  Northwood reserves the right to disclose and/or transfer any and all information that we collect from users, or that we otherwise collect in connection with the website, Investor Portal, job applications, our premises and/or other forms of communication with you, including, without limitation, to affiliates and third parties in the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, acquisition, assignment, bankruptcy proceeding, or other disposition of all or a portion of our business, assets or shares.  We will not otherwise disclose your personal information, except as required or permitted by law; requested by governmental entity, regulatory authority or law enforcement authority, subpoena, court order, or discovery request; or when we otherwise believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with any activity that (potentially) violates the law or our internal policies and procedures (including relating to intellectual property, fraud, contracts, and privacy) or may expose us to liability.  We are permitted to disclose any of your personal information in such circumstances.

PROTECTION OF INFORMATION

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. The security of your information is important to us.  We employ several different technical, administrative, and physical security measures designed to protect any personal information you provide through our website or otherwise from unauthorized access or use. Additionally, we restrict access to investor personal and account information to employees on a need to know basis.   You should be aware, however, that “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet, and there is always the risk that unauthorized persons may access or use your personal information.  We will not be responsible or liable for any damages, losses, or causes of action arising out of or in connection with the disclosure of your personal information.  You use our website and send us such information at your own risk.

RETENTION OF INFORMATION

For each of the categories of personal information collected, Northwood retains your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which such personal information was collected and in compliance with applicable laws. The criteria used to determine the retention periods include: (i) how long the personal information is needed to provide the website services and otherwise operate our business; (ii) the type of personal information collected; and (iii) whether we are subject to a legal, contractual, or other obligation to retain the personal information (e.g., mandatory data retention laws, government orders to preserve data relevant to an investigation, or data that must be retained for the purposes of litigation or disputes). We keep your personal information in accordance with the retention periods consistent with laws and regulatory obligations that apply to us. If you are an investor, we will usually delete your personal information after you cease to be an investor in our funds and there is no longer any legal/regulatory requirement or business purpose for retaining your personal information.

YOUR RIGHTS

GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM
