1. Introduction

Extended Investment ("Extended Investment," "we," "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use and protect it, the parties with whom we may share it, and the choices and rights available to you.

This website is intended primarily for institutional and professional audiences and is provided for general information about our firm and investment strategies. By accessing or using the site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please discontinue use of the site.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information in a few ways: information you provide to us directly, information collected automatically as you use the site, and information we receive from third parties.

• Information you provide. When you contact us, request a strategy brief, subscribe to our updates, or otherwise interact with our forms, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, organisation, job title, country and any message or details you choose to submit.
• Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, we may automatically collect technical and usage data such as your IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring pages, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits.
• Information from third parties. We may receive information from analytics providers, service vendors and, where relevant, business or professional sources that help us understand and verify our audience.

You are not required to provide personal information to browse most of the site, but certain features — such as contacting us or requesting materials — cannot be completed without it.

3. How We Use Information

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiries, fulfil your requests and provide the materials or information you ask for;
• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the website and our services;
• To communicate with you about our firm, strategies, research and events, where you have asked to receive such communications or where we are otherwise permitted to do so;
• To understand how the site is used and to analyse and improve its performance and content;
• To comply with applicable legal, regulatory and record-keeping obligations; and
• To protect our rights, property and users, and to detect, prevent and address fraud, security and technical issues.

We process personal information only where we have a lawful basis to do so — for example, with your consent, to take steps at your request, for our legitimate business interests, or to meet a legal obligation.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors interact with our content. Cookies are small files placed on your device; some are essential to the functioning of the site, while others are used for analytics and performance measurement.

We may use third-party analytics services to compile aggregated statistics about site usage. These providers may set their own cookies and process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect how the site functions.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers. With vendors who perform services on our behalf — such as hosting, email delivery, analytics and customer-relationship management — under obligations of confidentiality and only to the extent necessary to perform those services;
• Within our group. With affiliated entities of Extended Investment for the purposes described in this policy;
• Legal and regulatory. Where required to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or an enforceable governmental or regulatory request;
• Corporate transactions. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganisation or sale of assets, where information may be transferred as part of that transaction; and
• With your consent. In any other case, with your direction or consent.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including to provide our services, comply with our legal, regulatory and record-keeping obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise or securely destroy it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you are located and the applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights in relation to your personal information:

• To access the personal information we hold about you and request a copy of it;

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory or data-protection authority.

8. Security

We maintain administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping any credentials you use in connection with the site confidential.

9. International Transfers

Your personal information may be processed and stored in countries other than the one in which you reside, including locations where our service providers operate. The data-protection laws of those countries may differ from those of your own. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure that it remains protected in accordance with this policy and applicable law, including by using appropriate safeguards where required.

10. Children's Privacy

This website is directed to professionals and institutional audiences and is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
