Privacy Policy
StarBridge’s policies on privacy are guided and governed by the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”). StarBridge also has manager and corporate clients outside Canada and we will adhere to the applicable privacy legislation impacting those clients. StarBridge values the privacy of both our investor clients and manager / corporate clients and we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all information belonging to our clients in our possession.
This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with an outline of how StarBridge fulfills our privacy commitment to all our clients, with a key focus on investor clients:

Protecting Information: StarBridge seeks to carefully safeguard the private information of both its investor clients and manager clients and restricts access to personal information concerning clients, only to those employees and other persons who need to know the information to enable StarBridge to provide services. StarBridge employees and/or consultants are subject to a code of conduct concerning the confidentiality of all personal information they may access and are responsible for ensuring the confidentiality of all personal information they may access. Investor clients’ personal information is maintained on StarBridge’s networks (and/or on the networks of our managers / corporations’ service providers) and is accessible at 300 Front Street West, Suite 208, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 0E9, Canada. Personal information may also be stored on a secure off-site storage network or facility. We only collect investors clients’ personal information that is necessary. We will retain personal information as long as needed, to satisfy the purposes identified when the information was collected or as long as regulations demand. When we deem that we no longer need your information, we will delete electronic records and destroy physical record.

Contacting Securities Commissions in Canada
Investor clients who are resident in Ontario (and in other Canadian provinces) should be aware that StarBridge’s fund managers and/or the corporations it works with, as issuers of securities, may be required to file with the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) (other provincial securities commissions) a report setting out their name and address, the Class and Series of Units issued, the date of issuance and the purchase price of Units issued to each subscriber. Such information is collected indirectly by the OSC (or other securities commissions) pursuant to the authority granted to it (them) under securities legislation, for the purpose of the administration and enforcement of the securities legislation of Ontario (in other provinces). By submitting a Subscription Agreement (or similar document), a subscriber for Units authorizes such indirect collection of the information by the OSC (respective securities commission).
The following official can answer questions about the OSC’s indirect collection of investor clients’ information:
