The terms “you” and “your” in this Privacy Notice refer broadly to all of the investors that have provided information to us or any Affiliate (including prospective and former individual investors in any Affiliated Fund).
This Privacy Notice is being delivered to you now in order to satisfy a federal law that requires investment firms to inform their clients of the policies regarding the privacy of client information. The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to describe the types of non-public information we collect about you, explain to you what we will do with this information and explain the ways that we protect your privacy. This Privacy Notice also explains the ways in which we share this personal information with our affiliates.
If we change our information practices, we will provide you notice of any material changes. This Privacy Notice supersedes all previous notices or statements with respect to subject matters described in this Privacy Notice. Please read this Privacy Notice and keep it for your records. This Privacy Notice also applies to any former investors.
Types of Non-Public Information that We Collect
In the conduct of our business, we collect and maintain various types of information about our investors, including:
-
Your name, address, telephone/fax numbers and electronic addresses (as applicable);
-
Identification information, such as account numbers and Social Security numbers;
-
Information regarding your status as an accredited investor, qualified purchaser or qualified client, such as your assets, liabilities, employment, income and expenses that you may provide to us in a certification of your status as an accredited investor, qualified purchaser or qualified client;

How We Use Your Personal Information
We use your non-public personal information only for legitimate business purposes that are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The nature of our business requires us to work very closely with our Affiliates. We share all personal information that we collect with our Affiliates; our affiliates have agreed to adhere to our strict privacy standards when handling your personal information. The following summarizes the principal ways in which either we or our Affiliates use your non-public personal information:
-
To select transactions for your investment and to close on transactions in which you have chosen to invest. For example, we use information that you provide to us regarding your interest in a particular offering in order to gauge whether sufficient interest exists to fund a particular investment opportunity.
-
To comply with applicable laws and regulations. For example, we use information gathered in your accredited investor questionnaire to ensure that we are offering our investment opportunities consistent with the requirements of federal and state securities laws and regulations.
-
To help us inform you of investment opportunities. For example, we use information about your prior investments to assist us in determining subsequent offerings in which you may be interested.
Information We Disclose to Third Parties
In order to conduct our business on your behalf, we are sometimes required to disclose your personal information to companies or entities that are not affiliated with us. On those occasions when it is necessary for us to share your personal information with non-affiliated companies, we do not disclose this information to these companies except as permitted by law or with prior notice to our investors.
While we never sell your personal information, it is often necessary for us to provide your personal information to third parties to provide you with better service or to third parties that we have engaged to assist us in closing a particular transaction. It is also sometimes necessary to share information related to a specific transaction with third parties who are only involved with that transaction. While we attempt to limit the categories and amount of personal information that is disclosed, we may share any of your personal information in one or more of the following circumstances:
-
We may disclose transaction-related information with individuals and entities who are involved with a specific transaction. For example, many transactions that we structure require investor limited partner signature pages to be affixed to the limited partnership agreement of the primary investment entity. When participating in an offering you provide your name, address, and investment amount on these investor limited partner signature pages. This limited partnership agreement is then circulated to all professionals and third parties who are involved in effecting the transaction. This may include, for example, lenders, escrow officers and counsel for other third-party transaction participants.
-
We may disclose personal information about you to third parties for servicing and processing transactions, to comply with the requests or instructions of our regulators, to protect against fraud, for risk control, to respond to subpoenas, court orders and legal reporting requirements, or to perform services on either your or our behalf.
-
We may disclose your personal information to third parties to whom you have given your written consent, including when you give someone power of attorney or other authorization to act on your behalf.
-
We may disclose your personal information to protect you against fraud and unauthorized transactions, and to resolve client disputes.
-
We may disclose your personal information to companies that provide services to us, such as our attorneys, accountants and auditors.
How We Obtain Non-Public Personal Information
We obtain your non-public personal information primarily from you. For example, when you make an investment with us we are required by federal and state securities laws to gather sufficient financial information from you to determine whether you are an accredited investor, qualified purchaser or qualified client, as such terms are defined in the federal securities laws. You provide us with your personal information when you complete a subscriber questionnaire, a correspondence page, a deposit letter and various other applications and forms. We also gather information when you participate in a transaction with us or with our Affiliates. We also obtain information from our Affiliates. For clients who also happen to be business partners, borrowers or who have otherwise engaged in other forms of business relationships with us or with our Affiliates, we may obtain personal information about you through various other methods when done outside of the context of your relationship with us as a client. If we are unable to obtain this personal information from you, we may be prevented from providing you with a service, such as selling you an interest in an investment opportunity that we are offering.
Protecting Non-Public Personal Information from Unauthorized Access
Safeguarding the confidentiality, security and integrity of your non-public personal information is very important to us. We have established systems, policies and procedures to protect your personal information physically, electronically and procedurally from being accessed by unauthorized persons. Access to such information is restricted to our employees who are trained in the proper handling of client information. Employee access to non-public personal information is limited to those with a legitimate business reason for such access. We train our employees in our privacy policies and procedures, and they are held accountable for adhering to them.
Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All of the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
