Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

The Cyrus Fund (“we”, “us” or “our”) operates this website. For the purposes of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), we are the data controller in respect of personal data collected through this website.

You can reach us about any privacy matter at info@thecyrusfund.com.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy covers personal data we collect through this website. It does not cover data collected through separate agreements, due-diligence processes or third-party platforms, which may be governed by their own notices.

3. Personal data we collect

Information you give us

This website has no accounts, no payments and no sign-up forms. If you contact us by email using an address published on this site, we receive the information you choose to provide — typically your name, email address, organisation and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our hosting provider processes limited technical data as part of delivering the pages to you. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring page, and the date and time of your request. This data is used for security, abuse prevention, and to keep the service running reliably.

Special categories of data

We do not seek to collect special categories of personal data (such as data revealing health, political opinions, religious beliefs or biometric data) through this website. Please do not send us such information unless it is necessary and you are content for us to process it.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

This website does not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or cross-site profiling technologies. Any storage used is strictly necessary for the site to function — for example, remembering within a single browser session that the opening animation has already been shown. This information stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

If we introduce analytics or other non-essential technologies in future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, request your consent beforehand.

5. Why we use your data and our legal bases

• To respond to your enquiry — where you contact us. Legal basis: our legitimate interests in responding to correspondence, or steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.
• To operate, secure and maintain the website — including preventing abuse and diagnosing technical problems. Legal basis: our legitimate interests in running a secure and reliable service.
• To comply with legal obligations — where we are required to retain or disclose information by law. Legal basis: compliance with a legal obligation.

6. Sharing your data

We do not sell personal data. We may share it with:

• Service providers acting on our instructions, such as our website hosting and email providers, under contracts that require them to protect your data;
• Professional advisers such as lawyers, auditors and insurers, where necessary; and
• Authorities or other parties where required by law, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

7. International transfers

We and our service providers may process personal data in countries outside your own, including outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection, such as relying on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authorities.

8. How long we keep data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Correspondence is generally retained for as long as needed to handle the matter and to keep an appropriate record afterwards, unless a longer period is required by law. Technical logs are kept for a short period consistent with security and operational needs.

9. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction, including encryption of traffic to and from this website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; have inaccurate data corrected; have data erased; restrict or object to processing; receive your data in a portable format; and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

If you are in California, you may have additional rights, including the right to know what personal information is collected and to request deletion. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

To exercise any right, email info@thecyrusfund.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will reply within the period required by applicable law.

If you are in the EEA or UK and believe we have not handled your data properly, you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.

11. Children
