Updated: March 2026
1. What does this notice cover?
Maintaining the security of your personal data is a priority at CapVest Partners LLP (referred to as “CapVest”, "we" or "us"), and we are committed to respecting your privacy rights. We are also dedicated to being transparent about what data we collect about you and how we use it.
This notice describes how CapVest will make use of your personal data whenever you interact with us or use our products and services.

We may also provide you with additional information when we collect personal data, where we feel it would be helpful, more relevant and timely.
2. What personal data do we collect?
Wecollect and process personal data about you when you (i) visit our website at www.capvest.com; (ii) use our products or services; (iii) participate in our events; or (iv) visit our business premises.
This includes:
Contact Data - Your first name, last name, email address and phone number

Some of this information is collected using cookies and related technologies which are often provided by third party providers. To learn more, please see the ‘Cookies’ section below.
3. How do we use this personal data, and what is the legal basis for this use?
We will only use your personal data for the purposes and legal bases set out below:
Provide you with our products and services - It is necessary for us to process your personal data in order to perform our contract with you, or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract with you.
To manage our relationship with you - We have a legitimate interest in managing our business and providing services to our clients
Facilitate payment for our products and services - It is necessary for us to process your personal data to perform our contract with you.
There are instances where we have a legitimate interest to use your data. Our legitimate interest will vary depending on what we are using your data for, and we explain above what the interest is and how it relates to the processing operations that we are carrying out. Where we process personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest, then – as required by data protection law – we have carried out a balancing test to document our interests, to consider what the impact of the processing will be on individuals and to determine whether individuals’ interests outweigh our interests in the processing taking place. In the UK, we do not need to conduct a balancing test if we process personal data for a “recognised legitimate interest”.
4. How we share your personal data
We may share your data with the following categories of recipients and why:
Group companies - We share your data with other CapVest entities in the EU and US to operate, improve and develop our services.
Third party providers - We share your data with service providers who we employ to perform functions on our behalf.
Government and law enforcement authorities - We may share your data with government authorities, court, regulatory authorities and/or law enforcement officials if required by law or to prevent, investigate and/or report fraud, terrorism, misrepresentation, security incidents or crime, in accordance with applicable law. Disclosures of personal information may also be needed for data privacy or security audits and/or to investigate or respond to a complaint or security threat.
5. Where we transfer your personal data
Your personal data is primarily stored within the UK. However, we may transfer and store your data outside of the EEA to outside companies working with us or on our behalf. If that third party is in a country which is not subject to regulations from the UK government permitting data transfers to that country without further safeguards, we take additional steps to ensure your personal data is adequately protected, including by adopting standard contractual clauses, unless the law provides a relevant exemption from these requirements. A copy of the relevant mechanism can be obtained for your review on request by using the contact details below.

We do not use your personal data to make any solely automated decisions including profiling which produce legal or significantly similar effects.
Where we collect personal data to administer our contract with you or to comply with our legal obligations, this is mandatory, and we will not be able to manage our contractual relationship without this information. In all other cases, provision of the requested personal data is optional, but may affect your ability to receive our services.
