This Privacy Policy explains how Leo Holdings Ltd. (“Leo Holdings”, “we”, “us”), an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with registered office at 60 Nexus Way, 6th Floor, Camana Bay, PO Box 30745, Grand Cayman KY1-1203, Cayman Islands, collects and uses personal information in connection with this website and our business relationships. Leo Holdings is the data controller of that information for the purposes of the Cayman Islands Data Protection Act (as revised) and, where applicable, other data-protection laws.
Leo Holdings is a private principal investment company. We do not offer products or services to consumers, and this website is intended for use in a business and professional context.
Information you provide. When you submit an inquiry through this website or correspond with us, we collect the information you choose to provide, which may include your name, organization, role, email address, telephone number, the nature of your inquiry, details of any company, security, or transaction you describe, and the content of your message and subsequent correspondence.
Technical information. Our hosting infrastructure automatically records limited technical data when you visit the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages requested, and timestamps. This data is used for security, capacity, and service-integrity purposes. We do not use analytics or advertising trackers on this website (see our Cookie Policy).
Information from other sources. In the course of evaluating an opportunity or maintaining a business relationship we may obtain information about you from publicly available sources (such as regulatory filings, exchanges, company registries, and professional profiles), from your organization or advisers, or from counterparties and service providers involved in a transaction.
We use personal information to: respond to and manage inquiries; evaluate, negotiate, and execute investment opportunities and transactions; establish and maintain business relationships; keep internal records of opportunities, correspondence, and transactions; operate, secure, and improve the website; comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money-laundering, sanctions, and know-your-counterparty requirements where a relationship or transaction proceeds; and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on: our legitimate interests in operating a principal investment business, responding to inquiries addressed to us, and securing our systems; the taking of steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, or performance of a contract; and compliance with legal obligations to which we are subject.
We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not send marketing communications to website contacts.
We share personal information only as needed with: service providers who support our operations under appropriate contractual protections, including website hosting, email and productivity, document management, and IT-security providers; our professional advisers, including legal, tax, accounting, and compliance advisers; banks, brokers, custodians, transfer agents, and other counterparties and their advisers, where necessary to evaluate or complete a transaction in which you or your organization are involved; affiliates and entities under common control, for the purposes described in this policy; and courts, regulators, law-enforcement, and other authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.
We operate internationally. Personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, the Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and other jurisdictions where we or our service providers operate. Where required by applicable law, we take steps designed to ensure that transferred personal information receives an adequate level of protection, including the use of appropriate contractual safeguards.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, taking into account the status of any inquiry or relationship, legal and regulatory record-keeping requirements applicable to transactions, and the periods within which legal claims may be brought. Inquiries that do not lead to a continuing relationship are retained for a limited period for record-keeping and security purposes and then deleted or anonymized.
We apply technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we hold, including encrypted transmission of website submissions, access controls, and reputable hosted infrastructure. No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be fully secure, and you should avoid submitting sensitive or price-sensitive information through the website until a confidentiality process has been agreed.
Subject to applicable law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including rights to request access to it, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or request restriction of its processing, and, in some jurisdictions, to receive it in a portable format. Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under state privacy laws, including the right to know, correct, and delete personal information and the right to non-discrimination for exercising those rights; as stated above, we do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising.
To exercise any right, contact us at team@leo-holdings.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we may decline requests where an exemption applies. If you are dissatisfied with our response, you may have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, including the Office of the Ombudsman of the Cayman Islands or the data-protection authority in your place of residence.
