Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY OF IBEX INVESTORS LLC
This privacy policy explains the manner in which Ibex Investors LLC and each of its affiliates (collectively, the “Adviser”) collects, utilizes and maintains nonpublic personal information about the Adviser’s clients and investors in pooled vehicles managed by the Adviser, as required under federal legislation.  This privacy policy only applies to nonpublic information of clients and investors who are individuals (not entities).

 

How We Collect Personal Information

The Adviser collects personal information about its clients and investors mainly through the following sources:

  • Subscription forms, investor questionnaires and other information provided by the investor in writing, in person, by telephone, electronically or by any other means. This information includes name, address, nationality, tax identification number, and financial and investment qualifications; and

  • Transactions within the clients, including account balances, investments and withdrawals.

With Whom We May Share Personal Information

The Adviser does not sell or rent investor or client information.  The Adviser does not disclose nonpublic personal information about its clients or investors to nonaffiliated third parties or to affiliated entities, except as permitted by law.  For example, the Adviser may share nonpublic personal information in the following situations:

  • To service providers in connection with the administration and servicing of client or investor accounts, which may include attorneys, accountants, administrators, auditors and other professionals.  The Adviser may also share information in connection with the servicing or processing of client transactions;

  • To affiliated companies in order to provide you with ongoing personal advice and assistance with respect to the products and services you have purchased through the Adviser and to introduce you to other products and services that may be of value to you;

  • To respond to a subpoena or court order, judicial process or regulatory authorities;

  • To protect against fraud, unauthorized transactions (such as money laundering), claims or other liabilities; and

  • Upon consent of an investor or client to release such information, including authorization to disclose such information to persons acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity on behalf of the investor or client.


How We Protect Personal Information

The Adviser’s policy is to require that all employees, financial professionals and companies providing services on its behalf keep client information confidential.

The Adviser maintains safeguards that comply with federal standards to protect investor information.  The Adviser restricts access to the personal and account information of investors and clients to those employees who need to know that information in the course of their job responsibilities.  Third parties with whom the Adviser shares investor or client information must agree to follow appropriate standards of security and confidentiality.

The Adviser’s privacy policy applies to both current and former investors and clients.  The Adviser may disclose nonpublic personal information about a former investor to the same extent as for a current investor or client.

The Adviser may make changes to its privacy policy in the future. The Adviser will not make any change affecting you without first sending you a revised privacy policy describing the change.
