We may collect your personal data from:

  • registration information you proactively provide to us;
  • information captured via “cookies”;
  • information provided, e.g., in follow-up telephone conversations, voicemails, through written correspondence, or via e-mail;
  • your internet or other network activity;
  • information gathered by other automated mechanisms, such as web server logs and JavaScript; and
  • if you log in as an investor to the Investor Portal, login credentials and other information (please see the investor privacy notice available within the Investor Portal).

We may also collect personal data from other sources, such as other companies providing services to us. Some third-party sources may include publicly available sources of information.

What Personal Data Do We Collect

The types of personal data we collect about you depend on the nature of your interaction with us. The personal data we collect may include:

  • Identifiers, such as name, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone numbers, and internet protocol address.
  • Other contact details and records, such as contact information provided in the ‘Contact’ page.
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as browsing or search history, details of interactions with other websites, applications, or advertisements, and online identifiers such as cookies, as well as information you provide to us when you correspond with us in relation to inquiries.

Cookies and Google Analytics

In addition to information you proactively provide to us, we obtain information from cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored in your computer’s memory and hard drive when you visit certain web pages. Cookies are used primarily to customize this Website for return visitors and improve your experience with this Website. For instance, when you return to this Website after logging in, cookies provide information to the Website, including personal information, so that the Website will remember who you are.

We use cookies primarily to capture anonymous analytics to improve the Website experience and performance, including by compiling statistical information concerning, among other things, the frequency of use of the Website, the pages visited, and the length of each visit, as well as information about your computer, operating system, browser, language, and country.

You are not required to accept cookies to use this Website, and you can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, notify you when a cookie is set, or delete cookies. You are always free to decline cookies if your browser permits. However, if you choose to turn off cookies, you may not have access to features that optimize your browsing of this Website, and some of those features may not function properly.

We also obtain information from other third-party web analytics service providers. We use Google Analytics, which collects information such as how often users visit this Website, what pages the user visits, and what other sites they used prior to or after coming to this Website. The information obtained by Google Analytics may itself be processed by Google Analytics (or other web analytic service providers).

More information on how Google Analytics uses your data can be found at https://google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. More information about opting out of Google Analytics can be found at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve this Website. This information is maintained in a form that does not explicitly identify you, and we will not use this information to identify individuals, except for site security and law enforcement purposes. The collection of personal data from which you cannot be readily identified may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. We use such data on an aggregated basis to either help us maintain this Website or to disclose to third parties, such as investors, for informational or promotional purposes.

Aquiline does not track visitors to this Website over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals.

Why Do We Collect Personal Data and How Is It Used?

Our reasons for processing the types of data described above will depend on the nature of our relationship with you, but may include the following:

  • to send updates or to correspond with you;
  • to service your account and/or to provide you with information about Aquiline, our products, and services;
  • to provide efficient and reliable services;
  • to improve our product offerings and service options;
  • to maintain our relationship with you;
  • to monitor our communications with you;
  • to protect the security of our IT systems;
  • to improve or develop this Website;
  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
  • to maintain and keep our records up to date; and
  • to protect our business against fraud or other crimes.

We will typically only process your personal data to pursue the purposes described above. However, we may have a legitimate business interest in processing your personal data for some other purpose, but even then we would do so only if our legitimate business interests are not overridden by your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms that require the protection of your personal data.

If you choose to submit information to us, we encourage you to contact us by e-mail or telephone to update your account information whenever such information ceases to be complete or accurate. We will use any additional information you provide to us to update our records. We will delete any information we have if it is out of date (subject to any applicable legal or regulatory requirements).

To Whom Do We Disclose Your Personal Data?

We may disclose your personal data to Aquiline’s subsidiaries or affiliates. We may also disclose your personal data to our service providers and professional advisors. For example, we use service providers to host and/or maintain this Website (internal or external) and employ other persons to perform work on our behalf, such as sending e-mail. These persons may have access to personal data that you submit through this Website, job applications, visits to our premises, or other communication with us, but only for the purpose of performing their duties and in order to provide efficient and reliable services.

These persons act on our instructions and are not authorized to disclose personal data and are not authorized to use or disclose your personal data for other purposes, save to the extent required to comply with their own legal obligations. We will not sell or rent your personal information to others.

As noted above, we may disclose aggregated data to analytic service providers. We may also disclose your personal data if we are required to make such disclosure to the government or private parties in connection with a lawsuit, subpoena, court order, investigation, similar proceedings, or regulatory request or examination; to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or when we otherwise believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate in connection with any activity that violates the law (including relating to intellectual property, fraud, contracts, and privacy) or may expose us to liability, or to protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you, or protect the safety and security of this Website, our databases, or the tangible or intangible property that belongs to us or to third parties.

We may also disclose your personal data to applicable third parties in the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, acquisition, assignment, bankruptcy proceeding, or other disposition of all or a portion of our business, assets, or shares, to the extent lawfully permissible, but even then, only for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including in such case for its legitimate business interests.

To the extent that we request personal data from you and you refuse to communicate that personal data to us, this may affect our ability to maintain a business relationship with you or to comply with our legal obligations.

Aquiline may establish links between this Website and one or more websites operated by third parties. This Privacy Policy only applies to this Website and does not apply to any other website operated by a third party to which this Website may link.

Transfers of Personal Data

Aquiline LP’s principal place of business is in New York City. This Website is hosted in the United States of America. Aquiline Limited’s principal place of business is in London, England. In some cases, disclosure of personal data to our affiliates and third parties referred to above will involve transferring personal data from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom to the United States or another country which may not provide a level of protection to personal data equivalent to that provided in your country. Aquiline will ensure that such transfers are carried out in compliance with applicable law, such as, where necessary, by having the transfer governed by an appropriate data transfer agreement based on the European Commission approved standard contractual clauses and/or terms issued by the United Kingdom government, as applicable. To obtain a copy of such transfer arrangements, please contact us at the address noted below.

How Do We Protect Your Personal Data?

The security of your information is important to us. We employ several different technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect any information you provide through this Website, job applications, visits to our premises, or other communication with us from unauthorized access, accidental destruction or loss, and to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, and availability of such data.

You should be aware, however, that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure, and there is always the risk that unauthorized persons may access or use your information. Aquiline cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you submit via this Website, job applications, visits to our premises, or otherwise, and 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 information. You use this Website, submit job applications, visit our premises, and send us such information at your own risk. Please consider this when you choose to submit information to us via this Website, job applications, visits to our premises, or otherwise.

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Data?
