Privacy statement
Thank you for visiting the website ("Site")
of Apax Partners. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy
"Apax Partners" (and "we" and "us") shall mean Apax Partners LLP,
Apax Partners UK Ltd, Apax Partners Europe Managers Ltd and their
related affiliates and its or their partners, members, directors,
officers and employees, as the context requires. An important part
of Apax Partners' commitment to you is our respect for your privacy
as a user of the Site.
This Privacy Policy seeks to help you understand whether and how
we collect information about you when you visit the Site, and how
we use such information. Your visit to the Site is subject to this
Privacy Policy. By visiting the Site, you agree to this Privacy
Policy, which may be updated by us at any time. You should review
this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with it, please
do not continue to access the Site.
This Privacy Policy concerns only the Site and does not concern
any website to which the Site may link. Should you choose to visit
these third-party websites, you should review their privacy
policies to ensure that you understand and are comfortable with
their practices concerning your personal information. Similarly,
this Privacy Policy does not concern your interaction with Apax
Partners in any matter other than your use of the Site. Finally,
this Privacy Policy does not address our privacy practices with
respect to any non-public personal information we may collect from
you as an investor in us or in funds that we manage or advise.
The types of information we collect
about you
When you enter and browse the Site, we may collect two different
types of information about you: information you provide to us and
information we collect through technology.
A. Information you provide to us
In order to obtain access to certain information or materials
provided via the Site, you may have to provide information that we
collect and store in a way that allows us to relate it to you
personally, including but not limited to your name, e-mail address,
mailing address, phone number, facsimile number. We refer to such
information as personally identifiable information. By providing
personally identifiable information to us, you consent to its use
as set out in this Privacy Policy.
B. Information we collect through
technology
We may collect information about you through technology. For
example, we may collect your IP address each time you request a
page during a visit to the Site. (An IP address is often associated
with the portal through which you enter the internet.) At times, we
may also use IP addresses to collect information regarding the
frequency with which you browse various parts of the Site. The Site
may also use cookies. (Cookies are pieces of information that a
website sends to your computer while you are viewing the website.)
For instance, when you return to the Site after logging in, cookies
provide information to the Site so that the Site will remember who
you are. By accessing the Site, you consent to our use of cookies
in this way.
Using the settings of your internet browser, you can choose to
have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or
you can choose to turn off all cookies. Consult your browser "Help"
menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you choose
to turn off cookies, you may not have access to some features that
make your browsing of the Site smoother, and some of our services
may not function properly. You may at any time delete any cookies
set by using the relevant option of your internet browser or by
deleting the cookies on your hard drive.
The Site may also use other technical methods to track and
analyze the traffic patterns on the Site, such as the frequency
with which you visit various parts of the Site. These technical
methods may involve the transmission of information either directly
to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information
on our behalf. We may also use these technical methods in e-mails
that we send you to determine whether you have opened those e-mails
and/or clicked on links in those e-mails. We may collect the
information from use of these technical methods and associate it
with your personally identifiable information. If so, we will only
use that information as set out in this Privacy Policy.
During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript
to measure and collect session information, including page response
times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page
interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and
mouseovers), and methods used to browse away from the page. We may
use this non-personally identifiable information to measure Site
activity and to develop ideas for improving the Site.
How personally identifiable
information we collect about you is used
We may use your personally identifiable information in several
ways. We may use certain personally identifiable information we
collect about you when you visit and browse the Site as part of our
internal business operations, or to send you administrative
communications either about your interactions with us or about
features of the Site, including any future changes to this Privacy
Policy, to the extent permitted by law.
We may also store your personally identifiable information and
use it for marketing our funds and services, research and other
business purposes, and we may associate your personally
identifiable information with other information we collect about
you, such as details about your usage patterns and interests, in
each case to the extent permitted by law.
Disclosure of personally
identifiable personal information
Although we will not sell personally identifiable information to
third parties, we may share it with our agents, consultants and
service providers who assist us in running our business and who are
subject to security and confidentiality obligations.
In addition, we will disclose personally identifiable
information when we believe that such disclosures are required by
law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. We may also
do so to help enforce the Site's terms and conditions, protect your
safety or security, including the safety and security of property
that belongs to you, or protect the safety and security of our
Site, databases or third parties, including the safety and security
of tangible or intangible property that belongs to us or to third
parties. Also, in the event that Apax Partners, or substantially
all of its assets, are acquired, personally identifiable
information may be one of the transferred assets.
Transfer of information
abroad
Apax Partners operates internationally and, as such, personally
identifiable information may be used in countries outside of the
European Economic Area ("EEA"), which may not have data protection
regulations as stringent as those in Europe. By providing
your personally identifiable information to us, you consent to the
transfer of such information to each country in which Apax Partners
conducts business, or has a service provider, for the purposes set
out in this Privacy Policy.
How non-personally identifiable
information we collect about you is used
Non-personally identifiable information is information that does
not personally identify you, including anonymous information and
aggregate data. We may use this information to understand better
how our visitors use the Site, research our visitors' demographics,
interest, and behaviour, improve the Site, provide visitors with
customized services and information, and for other similar
purposes. We may combine this information with personally
identifiable information. We may share this non-personally
identifiable information with others for information, promotional
or any other purposes permitted by law.
Protection of information; No
guarantee of security
Apax Partners endeavours to protect your personal information.
We use both technical and procedural methods to maintain the
integrity and security of our databases, including firewalls.
Please be aware though that no security measures are perfect or
impenetrable. 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 personally identifiable information.
Amendments to this Privacy
Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make
any substantial change to our Privacy Policy, we will post a
prominent announcement on the Site and will post the updated
Privacy Policy here. Any such changes will be effective upon
posting.
Updating your personally
identifiable information
If any of the personally identifiable information that you have
provided to us changes, for example if you change your email
address or if you wish to cancel a request for information, please
let us know by sending an email to Marketing@apax.com.
Your rights
You have the right to request a copy of the personally
identifiable information we hold about you, to have any inaccurate
information corrected or any part or all of such information
deleted and to object to the use of your information. To do so,
please send your request to Marketing@apax.com.
