The collection of personal data from which you cannot be readily identified may involve the transmission of information either directly to us or to another party authorized by us to collect information on our behalf. We use such data on an aggregated basis to either help us maintain the Website or to share with third-parties, such as investors, for informational or promotional purposes.

For example we use service providers to host and/or maintain our Website (internal or external) and employ other persons to perform work on our behalf, such as sending e-mail. These persons may have access to personal data that you submit through the Website, but only for the purpose of performing their duties and in order to provide efficient and reliable services. These persons act on our instructions and are not authorised to disclose personal data, and are not authorised to use or disclose your personal data for other purposes, save to the extent required to comply with their own legal obligations.

We may also share your personal data if we are required to make such disclosure to the government or private parties in connection with a lawsuit, subpoena, investigation, similar proceedings or regulatory request or examination; to comply with applicable laws or regulations or when we otherwise believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate in connection with any activity that violates the law (including relating to intellectual property, fraud, contracts and privacy) or may expose us to liability, or to protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you, or protect the safety and security of our websites or databases, or the tangible or intangible property that belongs to us or to third parties.
If Aquiline were to merge with or transfer substantially all of its business, stocks or assets to another entity, Aquiline would also share your personal data with that entity, to the extent lawfully permissible, but even then, only for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, including in such case, for its legitimate business interests.
Third Party Websites
Aquiline has established links between this Website and one or more websites operated by third parties.
