What is MILLEMONT’s legal basis for processing your Personal Data?

MILLEMONT must identify a legal basis for processing your Personal Data which may vary according to the type of Personal Data processed and the individual to whom it relates.

– Performance of a contract with you (where applicable):

MILLEMONT is entitled to process the Personal Data it requires in order to fulfil its obligations under its contract with you. This will be the relevant legal basis if you are an individual client, investor/investee or supplier/other individual who has a direct contractual relationship with us.

– Legitimate interests of MILLEMONT or a third-party:

MILLEMONT processes some of your Personal Data on the basis that it is in its legitimate interests and/or the legitimate interests of a third-party to do so. This will primarily concern the processing of Personal Data that is necessary for MILLEMONT’S successful operation as a real estate private equity investment firm and capital advisory platform . MILLEMONT’s clients and others, including investors and investees, also have a legitimate interest in the successful function of our business.

This broad interest as a basis for processing your Personal Data, and others’ corollary interest in the same, can be broken down into more discreet categories. Some examples include:

  • the interest in contacting individuals relevant to MILLEMONT’s work, which may involve the use of your Personal Data;
  • the interest in reviewing, creating and providing documents and correspondence which may contain your Personal Data;
  • the interest in instructing third-parties on behalf of our clients and others which may involve the use of your Personal Data;
  • the interest in receiving payment from our clients and third-parties and to facilitate payments to and from our clients and third-parties which may involve your Personal Data; and

  • the interest in engaging suppliers and supplier personnel;
  • the interest in ensuring that its systems and premises are secure and running efficiently;
  • the interest in hiring/recruiting personnel and processing job applications;
  • the interest in marketing and advertising the services we provide;
  • the interest in obtaining and maintaining insurance; and
  • the interest in facilitating, making and receiving payments.

We always ensure that our processing of your Personal Data, on the basis that it is within our legitimate interests (whatever such interests might be), is not unwarranted because of any prejudicial effect on your rights and freedoms or your own legitimate interests.

– Compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject:

In certain circumstances, we must process your Personal Data in order to comply with our legal obligations.
