The third parties we share your information with are as follows:
Some of the recipients of your information (as set out under the "Who we share your information with" section above) are outside of the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we will only transfer your information outside the UK/EEA where the following safeguards have been put in place:
As a financial services provider we will typically have a contract with you and will need to keep your personal information (updated to ensure accuracy) to fulfil our contract. As a minimum, we will retain your personal information for the term of your investment plus any time necessary to exercise any options or defend your rights of claims (which is typically 7 years including in respect of tax claims). We also need to comply with EU and UK law, which often requires us to keep certain records - which will include certain personal information.
Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.
In some cases, it is not possible for us to specify in advance the periods for which your personal data will be retained.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this section, we may retain your personal data where such retention is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, or in order to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person.
You are provided with a number of different rights under the Data Protection Laws (as defined below) in relation to your personal information. These apply in certain circumstances and allow you to:
If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email us at hello@dawncapital.com. Please note that you will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information or to exercise any of the other rights. We may, however, charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive or we may refuse to deal with your request. We may also need to seek further information from you to confirm your identity before we release any personal information. This does not affect your right to make a complaint.
This Privacy Notice is in effect as of the date noted at the top of the notice. We may change this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we do, we will post the revised version here and change the date it applies from at the top of the notice and/or contact you directly where we deem appropriate to do so under applicable law. You should check here regularly for the most up-to-date version of the statement.
Data Protection Laws means (i) the Data Protection Act 2018 (as amended from time to time) (the “DPA 2018”), (ii) Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as it forms part of the law of England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland by virtue of the DPA 2018, as amended by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 and (iii) other laws and regulations relating to the protection of personal data in other jurisdictions to which Dawn Capital LLP is subject, each as amended, consolidated or replaced from time to time.
Dawn Capital LLP and its group (the "Dawn", "we" or "us") are committed to protecting your privacy rights. If you are applying for work with us or one of our portfolio companies (whether as a C-Suite level executive, employee, worker, contractor or advisor), or engaging with Dawn regarding potential connections to our portfolio companies, this talent acquisition privacy notice (the "Talent Acquisition Privacy Notice") makes you aware of how and why your personal data will be used, namely for the purposes of recruitment or relationship building exercise, and how long it will usually be retained for.
Dawn is a controller for your personal data meaning that it is responsible for deciding how we hold and use personal data about you.
This Talent Acquisition Privacy Notice was last updated on 28 October 2024.
In connection with your application for work with us or our portfolio companies, we may collect, store, and use the following categories of personal data about you:
In addition, we may collect the data set out above (as applicable) as part of a relationship building exercise.
We may also collect, store and use "special categories" of more sensitive personal data for the purpose of our equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives, such as:
We collect personal data about candidates from the following sources:
We will use the personal data we collect about you to:
It is in our legitimate interests to i) analyse the applicant pool to ensure that we are appointing, or in the case of a portfolio company recommending, an appropriate connection, advisor or candidate and ii) decide whether to appoint, or in the case of a portfolio company recommend, you to the role, since it would be beneficial to our business or the relevant portfolio company.
We also need to process your personal data to decide whether to enter into a contract of employment or engagement with you.
If you’re interviewing for a specific role with Dawn or with one of our portfolio companies, having received your CV, covering letter/email, your application/profile form, and/or having obtained the data accessible on your LinkedIn profile, we will then process that information to decide whether you meet the basic requirements to be shortlisted for a role. If you do, we will decide whether your profile is strong enough to invite you for an interview. If we decide to call you for an interview, we will use the information we collected during the recruitment process and that you provide to us at the interview to decide whether to offer you, and in the case of a portfolio company recommend you for, a role. We may take up references at any point during the interview process.
As part of a general relationship building exercises, we will identify a potentially relevant profile, for example, through a LinkedIn search or through our network. We will then engage you in a conversation with us by way of an introductory call or a LinkedIn message. If we think that your profile would be of interest, we may share it with the Dawn team, certain portfolio companies and/or other companies of interest.
If you fail to provide information when requested that is necessary for us to consider your application and/or profile for a particular role (such as evidence of qualifications or work history), we will not be able to process your application successfully.
We will use your particularly sensitive personal data in the following ways:
You will not be subject to decisions that will have a significant impact on you based solely on automated decision-making.
We may disclose your personal data to key members of our legal and finance teams, as well as to the relevant team managers in respect of the role you are applying for or, where applicable, to the relevant portfolio company.
It may also be necessary from time to time for us to disclose your personal data to:
The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the UK and/ or the European Economic Area ("EEA"), for the purposes described above. Those countries may not provide an adequate level of protection in relation to processing your personal data. Due to the global nature of our business, your personal data may be disclosed to members of our group outside the UK and/ or EEA, including in particular in the USA. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the UK and/ or EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers who act on our behalf. We will ensure, in so far as possible, appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the privacy and integrity of such personal data.
If your application for employment or engagement is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be retained in accordance with our retention policy.
If your application for employment or engagement is unsuccessful, subject to a few exceptions as noted below, we will hold your data on file for between six-twelve months after the end of the relevant recruitment process to the extent necessary to enable us to comply with any legal obligations or for the exercise or defence of legal claims (subject to any applicable legal or regulatory obligations to retain such information for a longer period).
We will seek your consent if we wish to retain your data for a further period on the basis that a further opportunity may arise in future and we may wish to consider you for that. You do not have to consent to this, and you can withdraw your consent at any time thereafter. At the end of that period (or if you withdraw your consent prior to this) we will securely destroy your personal data in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
If you consent to be considered for job opportunities or collaboration opportunities across our portfolio, your data (for example, your CV and any references obtained) may be retained for a period of up to six years.
In the event that any court actions or other legal proceedings are pending or impending, personal data will be deleted after termination of the court action or legal proceeding as appropriate.
Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal data, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal data to another party, please contact us at hello@dawncapital.com.
