Faros Point Capital LLP (“Faros Point”) is the controller responsible for personal data collected and processed when you visit our website. Faros Point is committed to safeguarding the personal information we collect and use in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”).
This privacy notice provides information on how we collect and process your personal data when you visit our website.
1. Types of Personal Data We Collect About You
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. We may collect the following types of personal data:
- Identity Data: name, job title, company
- Contact Details: email, phone number
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and cookies
- Correspondence Data: any other personal data you provide to us in your correspondence
We may collect Identity Data, Contact Details and Correspondence Data when you contact us through our website.
- Professional Data: details about your professional life such as employer name and address, job title or role, professional qualifications and any regulatory approvals (e.g. FCA status).
- Financial Data: bank account or payment details, investment amount or commitment, source‑of‑funds information and any other financial details we need to onboard or service you.
- Usage Data: information about how you use and navigate our website (e.g. pages viewed, links clicked, time spent on each page) collected via cookies and similar technologies.
- Marketing & Communications Preferences: your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication choices (opt‑in or opt‑out flags).
As you interact with our website, we will automatically collect Technical Data by using cookies and similar technologies.
You are not required by law or contract (or otherwise obliged) to provide personal data to us through our website, nor is it a requirement to enter into a contract.
2. How We Use Your Data
We plan to use the personal data collected through our website as set out in the following table:
3. Sharing Your Data
We do not sell personal data. We may share your personal data where necessary with the parties set out below for the purposes set out in the table above. Data may be shared with:
- our service providers and professional advisers;
- regulatory or law enforcement authorities if required by law;
- our affiliates (i.e. companies and entities that form part of our corporate group); and
- third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets.
4. International Transfers
Because our business and our service providers operate internationally, we may transfer your personal data to countries outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Some of those countries may not be recognised as offering the same level of protection for personal data as the UK or EEA.
Whenever we make such transfers, we ensure your data remains protected by applying at least one of the following safeguards:
- an adequacy regulation issued by the UK Government confirming the destination country provides an essentially equivalent level of protection; or
- standard contractual clauses (or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement) entered into with the recipient, requiring them to safeguard your data to UK standards.
You can request further details of the specific safeguards we rely on by emailing compliance@farospoint.com.
5. Data Retention
- We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
- To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.
