Privacy Policy

The website accessible at www.mevcapital.com (the “Website”) is operated by MEV Capital Management Ltd. (“MEV Capital”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). This privacy notice (the “Privacy Policy”), outlines how we collect, use, and manage personal data in our role as a data controller. We retain the right to update or revise this Privacy Policy at our discretion and without prior notice.

We are committed to processing your personal data strictly for the purposes and in the ways outlined in this Privacy Policy. Our data handling practices are designed to ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation or “GDPR”), the Data Protection Act, 2021 of the British Virgin Islands, and any related or successor legislation (collectively, the “Data Protection Legislation”).

Confidentiality

When interacting with our Website, such as via “contact us” forms or other communication features allowing you to submit requests, messages, or enquiries, you may voluntarily provide us with personal data. This may include, for example, your name, email, and company-related details. In addition to direct submissions through the Website, we may also receive your personal data from third-party sources, such as networking at industry events or through business card exchanges. Wherever feasible, we will seek to make this Privacy Policy available at the point of collection.

We may gather a range of information, such as your full name, residential or professional address, email contact, employer details, and any other pertinent data you share in communications with us. Furthermore, when you browse our Website, we may collect technical and usage data such as your IP address, browser cookies, site traffic patterns, location data, access logs, and browsing timestamps, among others.

In the event that you log in to a secure area of the Website or access it via a personalised link (e.g., from an email), we may identify you individually. In such cases, additional data may be gathered regarding the pages you view, the documents you download, and your general activity on the Website — with the aim of tailoring and enhancing your future experience with us.

Any information we collect may be linked to other identifying data we already hold. We may also use cookies and similar technologies to analyse user behaviour, all in accordance with our Internet Browsing and Cookies Policy.

We process your personal data when it is necessary for fulfilling our legitimate business interests and ensuring compliance with applicable legal and regulatory duties. After careful assessment, we have determined that these processing activities are essential, as there are no less intrusive means to achieve our operational objectives.

At all times, we will balance our interests against your fundamental rights and freedoms to ensure fair and lawful processing. We may also be required to retain your data to meet legal and regulatory requirements imposed by governing authorities. In this regard, certain information may be legally mandated to be retained for specific time periods.

Personal data we collect may be used for a variety of operational and communication purposes, including but not limited to: responding to your queries or requests; displaying our Website content in an optimal format for your device; providing information about our services and offerings; sending newsletters, marketing materials, and event invitations; conducting surveys and collecting market intelligence; verifying identity or submitted information; performing demographic or analytical research; enhancing our services and communications; fulfilling legal or contractual obligations; mitigating fraud and addressing potential legal claims; and informing you of updates to our business activities or services. We may also use your data for internal administrative functions where deemed necessary.

We adhere to a data retention policy that limits the storage of your personal data to only as long as is required to meet our business needs or legal obligations. Should you request erasure of your data, we may retain it for up to five years solely for compliance with regulatory obligations. During this period, we will not use your information for marketing or contact purposes. Beyond that, we will permanently delete your personal data unless ongoing legal reasons require continued retention (such as in the event of investigations or unresolved legal matters).

Internet browsing, cookies, and analytics

To ensure proper functionality of our Website, we make use of cookies — small data files that are placed on your device. These cookies help enable core Website operations and allow us to understand how visitors interact with our digital content. All cookie usage is carried out in accordance with applicable Data Protection Legislation. We may also use cookies to personalise and enhance your browsing experience. Your cookie preferences can be modified at any time. By continuing to browse and use our Website, you agree to the collection and handling of data as outlined below.

Some cookies are strictly necessary to enable the Website to operate effectively, while others assist us in evaluating Website performance and improving user engagement. To support our analytics efforts, we may use a third-party tool such as Google Analytics, which gathers insights on Website usage. Importantly, the data collected through this tool is anonymised; no personal identifiers or cross-site tracking of individual users occurs. Information such as page views and user interactions is recorded without tying it back to identifiable individuals. For additional details on how Google Analytics manages data, please consult their privacy policy.

You may adjust your browser settings to delete or block cookies if you wish. Instructions for doing so can be found in your browser’s help documentation. Please note, however, that restricting cookies may impact the functionality or user experience of certain parts of the Website.

Storage, processing, and transfer of personal data

Any personal data you share with us is held on secure servers. In certain instances, your data may be transferred to, stored by, or processed through third-party service providers, as further detailed in the relevant section below.

Engagement of third parties

When communicating online or delivering information through various channels, your personal data may, by necessity, pass through or be handled by third-party entities. However, we do not sell or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for the purpose of marketing their products or services to you without your explicit consent.

We may disclose your personal data to our affiliated entities or authorised delegates. These parties typically act as data processors, handling information strictly in accordance with our instructions and only to the extent that we serve as the data controller. In cases where an affiliate or delegate is independently subject to a legal obligation requiring the use of your personal data, that party will act as a separate data controller.

We have conducted due diligence on all significant third-party service arrangements involving personal data, especially where data is processed in jurisdictions lacking data protection standards equivalent to those required under applicable law. These reviews ensure that your personal information is processed in compliance with Data Protection Legislation and that the rights set out in this Privacy Policy are upheld.

Your rights and our safeguards for personal data

You are entitled to request access to the personal data we hold about you, including obtaining a copy of such data. Additionally, you may request that we transfer your personal data either to you or to another organisation of your choice. If your request is clearly unreasonable or excessive, we reserve the right to either decline the request or charge a proportionate administrative fee, and we will inform you accordingly.

You have the right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If we intend to use your data for these purposes, we will notify you in advance. You may withdraw consent or adjust your preferences at any time by contacting us directly.

If any decisions significantly affecting you are made solely through automated processes, without human review, you have the right to request that those decisions be reconsidered. You are also entitled to be informed promptly in the event of a personal data breach, unless it is deemed unlikely to cause you harm.

We are committed to maintaining the accuracy of the information we hold. To ensure this, we conduct periodic reviews of our data. Should your personal information change for instance, a new email address or updated contact details or if you become aware that the information we hold is incorrect or outdated, please reach out to us so we can correct it. You have the right to request that any inaccurate personal data be rectified without undue delay.

Requests related to access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal data are typically addressed within 30 days of receipt. If we require additional time due to complexity or volume, we will notify you within that period and explain the reason for the delay. If we determine that your request is unreasonable, we will inform you and may choose not to act on it.

Please note that our Website may contain links to third-party websites. These sites operate under their own privacy policies and we do not assume any responsibility or liability for how they manage your personal data. We advise reviewing the privacy terms of any external websites before providing them with your information.

The Service may contain links to websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third-parties. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us. These links and integrations are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third-party. We do not control websites, mobile applications or online services operated by third parties, and we are not responsible for their actions. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications and online services you use.

Raising concerns and filing complaints

If you believe that MEV Capital has handled your personal data in a manner that breaches applicable Data Protection Legislation, you are entitled to file a complaint either directly with us or with a competent supervisory authority.

Furthermore, if you submitted a request to us and feel that we failed to respond or did not provide you, within one month of receipt, with an explanation for our inaction and information about your right to escalate the matter, you may also contact a supervisory authority to lodge a formal complaint or pursue judicial remedies.

Applicable law and jurisdiction

This legal statement, along with all matters related to the use and operation of our Website, shall be governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Any disputes arising in connection with these matters shall fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the British Virgin Islands.

We are headquartered in the British Virgin Islands and may use service providers that operate in other countries. Your personal information may be transferred to the British Virgin Islands or other locations where privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your state, province, or country.
