If you are in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), we are not permitted to share your information with other non-affiliated entities, except as described in the “ International Transfers of Personal Data” section below or as otherwise permitted by the Privacy Laws or other applicable laws.

These companies may have access to your personal information but are permitted to use the information solely to provide the specific service or as otherwise permitted by law;

International Transfers of Personal Data

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside your home country and may also be processed by staff operating outside of your home country who work for our affiliates or for one of our suppliers. For persons outside the EEA, we will maintain your personal data in the United States.

Where you are a resident of the EEA, and your personal data therefore originates within the EEA and we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we will ensure that it is protected in a manner that is consistent with how your personal data would be protected by us in the EEA. This can be done in a number of ways, for instance:

  • the country that we send the data to might be assessed by the European Commission as having an adequate level of protection for personal data;
  • the recipient might have agreed to the “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your personal data; or
  • where the recipient is located in the US, it might participate in the EU-US Privacy Shield

The transfer of personal data from the EEA to Chesapeake entities outside the EEA is governed by data transfer agreements that are in the form of the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

In other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your personal data outside the EEA. In all cases, however, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any transfer of your personal data is consistent with applicable Privacy Laws.

If you are a resident of the EEA, you can obtain more details of the protection given to your personal data when it is transferred outside the EEA by contacting us as provided in the “Contacting Us” section below.

Confidentiality and Security

We do not share your non-public personal information with other financial firms or non-affiliates other than as specifically described in this statement of our Privacy Policy. Internally, Chesapeake restricts access to non-public personal information about Chesapeake Investors to those personnel who need to know that information in order to offer and provide products or services to you or to otherwise manage your relationship or account(s) with Chesapeake. In addition, Chesapeake uses physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your non-public personal information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

Chesapeake may change this privacy policy from time to time by posting an updated version on chesapeakecapital.com. This may be necessary, for example, if the law changes, or if we change our business in a way that affects personal data protection. Chesapeake will send to its clients and investors notice of its Privacy Policies annually and whenever those Policies change, as required by law. If an investor ceases to be a client of Chesapeake, Chesapeake will continue to follow its Privacy Policies and practices with respect to that former client’s personal data, but a former client will not receive future notices from Chesapeake.

1 The terms “Investors” and “you” include existing, prospective and former investors in a Chesapeake managed investment vehicle, including natural persons or entity clients. In addition to Investors, this privacy notice is being distributed to shareholders, unit holders, and limited partners invested in any investment vehicle for which Chesapeake acts as an investment adviser, trading manager, trading advisor, trustee, investment manager, general partner or in a similar capacity.
