Zanaga Iron Ore Company Limited (the “Company“), or any third party service provider, functionary, or agent appointed by the Company acting on its behalf (together the “Fund“, “we“, “us“, “our“) are committed to protecting your personal data and are required, by Data Protection Legislation (as defined below), to provide individuals with certain information about how we use your personal information.

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy“) explains what information we collect from you or you provide to us, how we use it and with whom we share that information. The Privacy Policy also sets out your rights and who you can contact for more information.

In this Privacy Policy:

  • your information is sometimes called “personal data”;
  • we may also sometimes collectively refer to handling, collecting, protecting and storing your personal data as “processing” such personal data; and
  • the term “Data Protection Legislation” means the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679; together with all other applicable legislation relating to privacy or data protection.

For the purposes of Data Protection Legislation the data controller is the Company.

 

1. What information we collect about you

The Fund may collect, record and use information about you in physical and electronic form and will hold, use and otherwise process the data in accordance with Data Protection Legislation and as set out in this Privacy Policy.

The personal data we collect and process may include:

  • information obtained from identification documentation (including your name, contact details, nationality and national identify numbers (where applicable));
  • your professional title and occupation;
  • your age and marital status;
  • financial information, tax status, account details and evidence of ownership of financial assets;

In certain circumstances, we also collect and process what are known as ‘special categories’ of personal data (as defined by Data Protection Legislation). Money laundering, sanctions, financial crime and fraud prevention checks sometimes result in the Company obtaining information about actual or alleged criminal convictions and offences.

You are not obliged to provide us with your personal data where it is requested but we may be unable to provide certain products and services or proceed with your business relationship with the Company if you do not do so.

 

2. How we collect your information

The information we collect comes from:

  • application forms or other materials you or your authorised representative submits to us during the course of your relationship with the Fund;
  • you or your authorised representative’s interactions with the Fund, transactions and use of our products and services (including the use of our website);
  • you or your authorised representative’s business dealings with the Fund, including via email, telephone or as stated in contracts with you;
  • depending on the products or services you or your authorised representative requires, third parties (including for credit and money laundering checks, among other things); and
  • recording and monitoring tools that we use for compliance or security purposes (e.g. recording of telephone calls, monitoring emails, etc.).

 

3. How we use your information

Our primary purpose in collecting your personal information is to facilitate and record the holding of shares in the Company, the management and administration of your holdings in the Company and any related administration on an on-going basis.

Additionally, we use your information for the following specific purposes:

  • to process transactions and to improve the quality of the service that we provide to you;
  • to disclose information to other third parties such as service providers of the Company, auditors, regulatory authorities and technology providers (as set out in more detail below);  
  • to communicate with you as necessary in connection with the proper running of the Fund;
  • to update and maintain records and carry out fee calculations;
  • to monitor and record calls and electronic communications;
  • in connection with the Company’s internal management and reporting;
  • to report regulatory and tax related information to regulatory and tax authorities in order to comply with a legal obligation, including any obligation arising under legislation implementing the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2010, as amended, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Common Reporting Standard;
  • to permit, administer and record your investment in the Company;
  • verifying the identity of the prospective investor to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements in relation to anti-money laundering procedures;
  • in order to carry out anti-money laundering checks and related actions which are necessary to comply with legal obligations, in relation to, the prevention of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery, corruption, tax evasion and to prevent the provision of financial and other services to persons who may be subject to economic or trade sanctions, on an on-going basis;
  • for prudential and risk management purposes;
  • to provide you with any products and services that you request from us; and
  • other reasons compatible with the primary purpose.

If it is necessary to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

 

4. Legal grounds for using your personal information

Data Protection Legislation permits us to process your personal data in the way that we do because the processing is:

  • necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests that we pursue, which are to run and administer the Fund, to discharge our legal obligations, to store and disclose information where necessary and to evaluate, develop and improve our services; or
  • necessary for the performance of a contract with you; or
  • necessary in order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

To the extent that we process any special categories of data relating to you for any of the purposes outlined above, we will do so because either: (i) you have given us your explicit consent to process that personal data; (ii) you have made the personal data manifestly public; or (iii) the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

 

5. Providing your information to third parties

The following categories of recipients may receive your personal information and process it for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy:

  • third parties such as auditors, regulatory authorities and technology providers, agents, contractors, service providers or related companies (including payment processors) if this is necessary to administer your investment in the Company, respond to your enquiries or for any other related purposes;
  • any regulatory, supervisory or governmental authorities to the extent we are required by law to do so, or in other limited circumstances (for example if required by a court order or regulatory authority, or if we believe that such action is necessary to prevent fraud; and
  • tax authorities.

The Fund does not undertake marketing activities for third parties, nor does it provide information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

 

6. Transferring data outside of the EEA

Personal data may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“) or to countries not regarded by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. When we, or our permitted third parties, transfer personal information in this manner we will ensure that the transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with Data Protection Legislation.

Any request for access to or a copy of your personal data must be in writing and we will endeavour to respond within a reasonable period and in any event within one month in compliance with Data Protection Legislation. We will comply with our legal obligations as regards your rights as a data subject.

We will correct any incorrect or incomplete information and will stop processing your personal data, or erase it, where there is no legal reason for us to continue to hold or use that information.

  • any retention period that is required by law; or
  • the end of the period in which litigation or investigations might arise in respect of an investment in the Company.
