From time to time, we may need to process your personal data on other legal bases, including with consent (which we will obtain from you if required), if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of a potential investor or other data subjects, or if necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.

We share personal information for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, the following:
• Within Marlin and with our affiliates, subsidiaries, and service providers to operate our business, deliver and improve our financial services, market our investment advisory services to you, and for data processing and storage purposes.

Third Party Links

Our website includes links to third-party websites for your convenience. These websites operate independently from Marlin and we are not responsible for their content.
Information that you provide via Marlin’s investor portal is routed through and processed by eFront Financial Solutions (“eFront”) rather than Marlin’s information technology systems.

Transfers of Personal Information from the EU (or EEA), or the Cayman Islands, to the US and Other Countries

Marlin may transfer your personal information within our organization and to third parties, including service providers. In some cases, these transfers may transmit your data to, or involve the processing and storage of your data in, a country other than the one in which the information was collected. Data collected within the European Union (the “EU”) or the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) may be transferred to countries with data protection laws that differ materially from those in the country of collection.

We have implemented procedures to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information when it is transferred to the US or other countries. All such international transfers of personal information will only be made to parties that have adopted binding corporate rules meeting the requirements of GDPR, to US organizations that have opted in to GDPR compliance via the EU-US Privacy Shield, to countries that have been granted a European Commission adequacy decision, or to third parties pursuant to a written agreement containing European Commission-approved standard contractual clauses meeting the requirements of the EU Data Protection Legislation. Any transfer of data by our private funds established in the Cayman Islands shall be in accordance with the Data Protection Law, 2017 of the Cayman Islands (“DPL”), which may include the foregoing measures. For further information on how we safeguard and legitimize transfers of your personal data, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this privacy notice.

To the extent that the EU Data Protection Legislation applies to the personal data that we collect about you, this section of the privacy notice applies. For the purpose of this section of the privacy notice, Marlin Management Company, LLC is the controller of your personal data.

• To restrict or object to the processing of your personal data
• To request the right not to be subject to automated decision making

In case you disagree with the way we process your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your relevant jurisdiction.

However, your withdrawal of consent may not prevent our continued processing of your personal data if certain circumstances and exceptions apply.
