  • Land Registry or statistical data obtained from companies that provide socioeconomic and demographic statistical studies associated with geographic areas or postal codes, not with specific individuals.

WHAT PROCESSING WE CARRY OUT WITH YOUR DATA

We will process your data in a variety of ways and for different purposes and on different legal bases:

  • Consent-based treatments
  • Treatments necessary for the execution of contractual relations
  • Treatments necessary to comply with regulatory obligations
  • Treatments based on legitimate interest

Consent-based treatments

The legal basis for these treatments is your consent, as established in Article 6.1.a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We may have requested your consent through various channels, for example, during the interview during which you registered as a client or through our electronic channels.

The treatments based on your consent are the following:

  • Manage invitations to events organized by the Management Company.


Treatments necessary for the execution of contractual relations

The legal basis for this data processing is that it is necessary to manage the contracts you request or to which you are a party, or to implement, at your request, pre-contractual measures, as established in Article 6.1.b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Therefore, these are necessary processing processes for you to establish and maintain contractual relationships with us.

The treatments necessary for the execution of contractual relations are indicated below:

  • Manage, maintain, control, and develop the pre-contractual or contractual relationships, including investments and divestments in the Fund, as well as the collection and/or invoicing of services rendered.
  • Communicate to third-party entities or bodies, both national and foreign (for example, the depositary), the data necessary for the establishment, maintenance, performance, and execution of the contractual relationship with the Company and, where applicable, with such entities.
  • Management of questions and complaints addressed to the Company.
  • Communications with the Investor and/or their legal representatives regarding the progress of the investment.


The lack of provision of such personal data may result in the impossibility of initiating or continuing said contractual relationship.

Treatments necessary to comply with regulatory obligations

The legal basis for these data processing operations is that they are necessary to comply with a legal obligation that we are required to fulfill, as established in Article 6.1.c) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Therefore, they are necessary for you to establish and maintain contractual relationships with us. If you object to them, we would have to terminate those relationships, or we would not be able to establish them if we had not yet initiated them.

  • Comply with the laws, regulations, agreements, treaties, or other Spanish and foreign regulatory obligations applicable to the Company and/or to the relationship the Company maintains with the client as a result of their investment in the Fund, as well as with any type of internal policies and regulations to which the Company is subject (for example, reporting obligations, investor awareness studies, or those arising from anti-money laundering regulations, to the extent applicable).
  • Obtain and verify your personal identification data, as well as data regarding your economic activity, if it is necessary to carry out the appropriate checks directly or through the relevant authorities, in accordance with the provisions of the legislation in force at any given time on anti-money laundering, as well as for reasons of essential public interest, based on such legislation.
  • Communicate data and information to public authorities, official bodies, regulators, governmental agencies, or judicial or administrative authorities of other countries within and outside the European Union, when these or national regulations or international agreements or treaties signed by Spain so require, in order to comply with applicable legal, tax, or regulatory obligations, or pursuant to “ad hoc” information requests received from any of the above.
  • To manage the whistleblowing channel, in accordance with the provisions of Law 2/2023, of 20 February, regulating the protection of persons who report breaches of the law and the fight against corruption, in order to ensure compliance with internal and external regulations. Whenever the whistleblowing channel is used and the specific data protection policy has been accepted.

Processing based on ITHAKA’s legitimate interest

The legal basis for these processing operations is the pursuit of legitimate interests by ITHAKA or a third party, provided that these interests are not overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms, as set out in Article 6.1.f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Carrying out these processing operations will require us to weigh your rights against our legitimate interest, concluding that the latter prevails. Otherwise, we will not process the data.

The processing activities related to legitimate interest are as follows:

  • Prevent, detect, investigate, uncover, and, if necessary, report possible fraud to third parties, in order to identify those involved in fraudulent activities and to take the necessary measures.
  • Analyze, record, and develop the administrative management of data for control needs and/or purposes, and in particular, for the control, management, evaluation, and measurement of operational risks, as well as for statistical and security reasons, ensuring the continuity of IT operations, logistical infrastructure, and providing partner companies and third parties with the personal data strictly necessary to achieve these purposes.
  • Review and optimize internal procedures in order to assess needs in the context of negotiations and the relationship between the Company and the client.
  • Undertake legal actions and defend the Company’s interests in judicial and/or administrative proceedings in which it is involved and to prevent and investigate criminal actions. Likewise, within the framework of judicial and/or administrative proceedings in which (i) legal action is threatened or has been taken, or which involve criminal charges against the Company; or (ii) in relation to claims filed by the Company against a client (including, where appropriate, the enforcement of formalized guarantees); and/or (iii) in the event of public criticism by the client against the Company, through any media or social network, both within and outside Spain.
  • Offer other investment opportunities that the Company considers may be of interest to the client, through commercial and/or advertising actions or communications, including electronic or equivalent communications.

These third parties act as data processors and manage the information exclusively to provide a service. In these cases, these entities may not use the information for their own purposes and are required to delete or return it once the service is completed.

In other cases, the receiving entities act as assignees, becoming responsible for the processing of the information. In most of these situations, these are public entities.

In the event that there are third parties directly and/or indirectly involved with the service provided by the Company, but whose relationship with the Client/Investor is direct, in such cases, the client/investor, or their representative, must take into account the privacy policies established by those third parties with whom they have a direct relationship.

In the event that the signatory is required to provide personal data of third parties, such as contact persons or ultimate beneficial owners, the signatory undertakes to comply with all obligations required by data protection regulations to communicate their personal data to the Company and to inform them of the possibility of exercising their rights against the Company.

We will process this data using the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure that it is used only for these purposes.

The maximum period for retaining personal data after the termination of the contractual relationship is ten (10) years. This period may be reduced or extended as appropriate, subject to legislative changes that may affect the Company’s activities.

Data destruction
We will destroy your data once the retention periods imposed by the regulations governing ITHAKA’s activity and the statute of limitations for administrative or judicial actions arising from the relationship established between you and us have elapsed.

DATA TRANSFERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA

The Management Company may transfer your personal data to data recipients located in third countries (outside the territory of the European Economic Area) provided that the European Commission has determined that the country where the recipient is located provides an adequate level of protection for personal data, for example, the United Kingdom, or where appropriate safeguards required by applicable law are in place, for example, through the execution of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission to ensure an adequate level of protection, with exceptions for specific situations where appropriate.

Therefore, in the event that a transfer of personal data to third parties located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) takes place, the necessary security measures to protect such information are guaranteed.

  • The requirements established in the applicable regulations and current local legislation.
  • The European Union (EU) standard contractual clauses are used to ensure that data transfers outside the EEA comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • The European Commission’s adequacy decisions, which determine whether a country outside the EEA ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data.

PROFILES AND AUTOMATED DECISIONS

The Company may need to develop profiles in order to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations, for example, for anti-money laundering and fraud prevention purposes, as well as to assess your investor profile.

Under no circumstances will such profiles be created by automated means. However, if, during the Contractual Relationships you maintain with us, we adopt decisions that could produce legal effects on you or could significantly affect you based solely and exclusively on automated processing, we will inform you about this, as well as the logic by virtue of which we have adopted it, in the contractual documentation for the product or service you have requested from us.

At that time, we will also take steps to safeguard your rights and interests by providing you with the right to obtain human intervention, express your point of view, and challenge the decision.
