Effective date: 22 July 2022

Interpath (Cayman) Limited (trading as Interpath Advisory) values your privacy and applies relevant data protection legislation.

This notice sets out the principles upon which we receive and process a data subject’s personal data both in the day to day operations of Interpath (Cayman) Limited and in relation to our insolvency and restructuring appointments.

Should you have any queries relating to privacy issues either in relation to Interpath (Cayman) Limited itself, or an entity to which one of our officeholders is appointed, please contact us in writing:

by email at dataprotection@interpathadvisory.ky ; or
by post to: Data Protection, Interpath (Cayman) Limited, PO Box 776, Suite 4208 Canella Court, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, KY1-9006.

The Data Controller

The data controller is Interpath (Cayman) Limited.

Where one of our officeholders is appointed to a company, data may be held and generated by Interpath (Cayman) Limited as part of that appointment.

Our officeholders may also be considered data controllers in relation to the entity to which they are appointed.

How we use your personal information

Where advice is given by Interpath (Cayman) Limited outside of a formal appointment or process, the purpose of processing personal data is to consider that information to provide appropriate advice.

Our officeholders could be appointed through a variety of processes pursuant to the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction. They may act as liquidators to both solvent and insolvent entities, as receivers, scheme supervisors, controllers or directors. They may be appointed by the entity, its shareholders, creditors, regulators or by the Court.

The purpose of the processing is dependent on the nature of the assignment and is to enable the officeholder to meet their legal, statutory and regulatory obligations and other duties, including:

delivering insolvency and restructuring advice, directorship, liquidation, forensic or other services;
verifying your identity pursuant to anti-money laundering legislation;
sanction screening;
preventing and detecting crime, fraud or corruption;
defending or taking legal actions on behalf of an entity;
maintaining the records of the company;
processing financial transactions;
communication by post, email or telephone;
compliance with international tax reporting regimes;
to manage our relationship with you, respond to your enquiries or to any problems that may arise and to investigate and resolve complaints;
to inform you of important changes or developments to the services or our policies and to provide you with technical, support or administrative notifications;
for insurance, audit and administrative purposes;
for our internal business purposes, including data analysis, invoicing and detecting, preventing, and responding to actual or potential fraud, illegal activities, or intellectual property infringement reporting and responding to requests by regulators, government bodies or the Court; and
all other obligations arising under the laws applicable to an officeholder’s appointment.
Further, we may aggregate personal and other data captured by us so that the data is no longer capable of identifying an individual. Aggregated data may cover patterns of usage, and we reserve the right to use this aggregated information for the purposes of improving and enhancing our services, generating insights, for use in marketing to other users and current and potential partners and otherwise for the purposes of our business. Provided that such aggregated data does not directly or indirectly identify you as an individual, this data is not considered to be personal information for the purpose of this Notice.

Interpath (Cayman) Limited also processes personal data in its day to day business operations, including:

maintaining its corporate and banking records;
receiving candidate applications for recruitment purposes;
maintaining employee HR records;
receiving general business enquiries; and
processing client and interested party data for direct marketing purposes.

The legal basis for the processing

Personal data may only be processed if the purpose satisfies one of the conditions under the data protection legislation.

The applicable legal bases for Interpath (Cayman) Limited’s data processing are:

Contract: The processing is necessary for a) the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party; or b) the taking of steps at the request of a data subject with a view to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation: The processing is necessary for compliance with any legal obligation to which the data controller is subject, other than an obligation imposed by contract.
Legitimate interests: The processing is necessary for the purpose of legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or a third party to whom the data is disclosed, except if the processing is unwarranted and prejudices the rights of the data subject.
Consent: The processing is carried out with the explicit consent of the data subject for the specified purpose.

Some categories of data, referred to as “sensitive personal data”, are considered to require extra protection. Sensitive personal data will only be processed when the data subject has given their express consent, or subject to the following legal conditions:

Employment: The processing is necessary for the purposes of exercising or performing a right or obligation in connection with the data subject’s employment.
Public information: The processing relates to information that has already been made public by the data subject.
Legal proceedings: The processing is necessary for a) any legal proceedings; b) obtaining legal advice; or c) establishing, exercising or defending legal rights.
Public functions: The processing is necessary for a) the administration of justice or b) the exercise of any functions conferred on any person by or under any enactment.

The legitimate interest of processing

Where personal data in relation to a business enquiry or assignment is based on a legitimate interest, it relates to the legitimate interest of Interpath (Cayman) Limited to provide its services and meet the legal and regulatory obligations conferred upon an officeholder.

Processing may also be done in the legitimate interests of third parties, such as the company’s estate, its creditors and shareholders, by processing personal data to detect fraud, maximise realisations and process distributions.

Where Interpath (Cayman) Limited processes data relating to its clients for marketing purposes and interested parties for sale of an entity’s assets or pursuing funding arrangements, it does so in the legitimate interests of its business or the entity’s estate.

When processing personal data on this basis, the legitimate interest of the data controller and/or third parties will be balanced against the individual data subject’s rights and interests.

The categories of data obtained

The categories of data obtained will depend on the circumstances for which the data is processed and may include the following:

Names, including former names and aliases;
Date of birth;
Email addresses;
Residential and postal addresses;
Telephone numbers;
Passport numbers and other photographic identification details;
Tax identification numbers;
Financial information, including bank details;
Employment details / HR records; and
Details of offences committed or alleged to have been committed.

International transfer of data

Interpath (Cayman) Limited’s offices are in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands.

Given the international reach of ’s assignments, personal data may be transferred, accessed and stored internationally in order to fulfill the purpose of the processing.

In these circumstances, the data controllers will ensure that the country or territory to which the personal data is transferred ensures an adequate level of protection to the rights of a Data Subject in the processing of their data or that appropriate safeguards are put in place.

Retention period of the data

The period of retention of the data is dependent upon the reason for processing and the nature and duration of the assignment. Personal data will be deleted or destroyed where it has been identified that there is no longer a need to retain it, under any legal or contractual requirement.

Protection and storage of the information we collect

We deploy administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements and to safeguard the information that we collect. This includes, when required or appropriate and feasible, obtaining written assurances from third parties that may access your data that they will protect the data with safeguards designed to provide a level of protection equivalent to that adopted by Interpath (Cayman) Limited.

No information system can be 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. Moreover, we are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to us over networks that we do not control, including the internet and wireless networks.

We may store the information we collect in on our servers (both cloud based or in servers located in secure data centres in countries where we or our service providers have facilities. Therefore, we may transfer information to countries outside your country of residence which may have data protection laws and regulations that differ from those in your country.

Your rights

The rights of individuals under the relevant data protection laws are:

Right to be informed: the right to be informed about how your personal data is being processed, as soon as practicable;

Individuals should be aware that these rights are not necessarily absolute and there may be circumstances where Interpath (Cayman) Limited is unable to comply with a request made pursuant to these rights.

Automated decision making

Automated decision making is where a decision, taken by or on behalf of the data controller, significantly effects the data subject and is based solely on the processing by automatic means of the data subject’s personal data. For example, for the purpose of evaluating the data subject’s creditworthiness, reliability, conduct or other matters relating to the data subject.

Interpath (Cayman) Limited does not currently use automatic decision making when processing personal data.
