Overview

KapStone Digital Associates LLC ("KapStone," "we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who interact with our website and who provide information in connection with potential or actual investment in our fund.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you visit [website URL — placeholder], submit an interest form, subscribe to our research communications, or otherwise engage with KapStone. Please read this policy carefully. By using our website or providing us with information, you acknowledge the practices described herein.

This policy does not govern the use of personal information provided to us pursuant to a Limited Partnership Agreement or other fund governing documents, which are addressed in those agreements and in our investor onboarding disclosures.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as government identification numbers, biometric data, or health information through this website.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Legal compliance: to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes, and to respond to lawful requests from public authorities

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information for algorithmic profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal effects on individuals.

Sharing & Disclosure

KapStone does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Fund service providers: our fund administrator, legal counsel, auditors, custodians, and other service providers who require access to perform services on our behalf, subject to confidentiality obligations
  • Regulatory authorities: government agencies, regulatory bodies, or law enforcement where required by applicable law or legal process, including SEC, FINRA, or other applicable regulators
  • Professional advisors: attorneys, accountants, and compliance consultants engaged in connection with fund operations
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, where investor information may be transferred to the successor entity

All third parties to whom we disclose personal information are required to maintain its confidentiality and to use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Our interest form submissions and investor communications are transmitted using industry-standard encryption.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or freedoms, we will notify you and applicable regulators as required by law.

Access to personal information within KapStone is limited to personnel who require it to fulfill their responsibilities, and all such personnel are subject to confidentiality obligations.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve disputes. Specifically:

  • Interest form submissions are retained for [X years — placeholder] or until you request deletion, whichever is sooner, unless you become an investor in the fund
  • Investor records are retained in accordance with applicable securities law requirements and our fund's record-retention policy, which may extend for [X years — placeholder] following the termination of the investor relationship
  • Newsletter subscriber information is retained until you unsubscribe
  • Website log data is retained for [X months — placeholder] and then aggregated or deleted
