Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 12, 2025
Data Protection Compliance
AltFunds Global Corp. (“AltFunds Global,” “we,” or “us”) is committed to safeguarding personal data in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) of Canada and recognised international privacy frameworks.
We apply data protection, privacy, and confidentiality standards consistent with those expected of professional advisory firms handling sensitive client information.
1. Who We Are
Data Controller:
AltFunds Global Corp.
170 The Donway Street West, 6A, Suite 1403
Toronto, Ontario, M3C 2E8, Canada
2. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to:
- Visitors to our website: www.altfundsglobal.com
- Clients and prospective clients who contact or engage with us
- Users of our chatbot, webinars, digital forms, or consultation services
3. What Personal Data We Process
We believe in being transparent about what we collect and why.
| Category | Examples | Why We Need It |
|---|---|---|
| Identification Data | Name, nationality, date of birth | To verify your identity for secure onboarding (KYC/AML) and to facilitate introductions to qualified financial institutions. |
| Contact Information | Email, phone number, address | To communicate with you, send updates, and coordinate meetings related to consulting or funding projects. |
| Financial/Project Data | Proof of funds, business plans | To assess your goals and determine alignment with suitable strategic or funding opportunities. |
| Technical Metadata | IP address, browser type | To maintain and optimise website performance, security, and analytics. |
| Communication Records | Emails, meeting notes, chat transcripts | To maintain accurate records of discussions and your expressed interests. |
We may also share your information with trusted partners when necessary to deliver our services. Specifically:
To connect you with qualified institutions, we may introduce professional clients to licensed financial intermediaries or regulated service providers. These independent counterparties are responsible for their own compliance and data handling once you engage with them.
4. Why We Process Your Data
- To provide and manage consulting or advisory services.
- To perform necessary compliance and due diligence checks.
- To facilitate introductions to pre-vetted, licensed third-party financial or service providers.
- To improve your experience across our digital platforms.
- To meet our legal and contractual obligations.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on:
- Performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps at your request.
- Legal obligations relating to anti-money-laundering (AML) and due diligence requirements.
- Our legitimate business interests in managing client relationships and ensuring operational integrity.
- Your explicit consent, where required by law.
6. Retention of Personal Data
- KYC/AML records – typically retained for 7 to 10 years to comply with due diligence obligations.
- Communication records – up to 5 years.
- Website/session data – up to 12 months (anonymised thereafter).
Data that is no longer required is securely deleted or anonymised.
7. Data Sharing and Confidentiality
We do not sell your data. We handle it with the same level of confidentiality expected of a professional advisory firm.
We share data only when essential, with parties such as:
- Our professional advisors (legal, compliance, accounting).
- Technology and service providers that support our business infrastructure.
- Licensed Financial Partners: When facilitating introductions to external opportunities, we share only the necessary details with that regulated partner. Once shared, they become the independent data controller for their relationship with you.
8. Cross-Border Data Transfers
We may transfer personal data to jurisdictions outside Canada when required for service delivery or compliance purposes. In such cases, we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place, such as:
- Contractual clauses consistent with PIPEDA and recognised international data protection standards.
- Transfers only to countries with comparable privacy protections.
- Explicit consent where required.
9. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access and obtain a copy of your personal data.
- Request correction or deletion of inaccurate data.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC) if you believe your rights have been infringed.
Please note: once your data has been shared with a regulated intermediary, that organisation becomes independently responsible for its retention and use under their applicable laws.
10. Cookies and Website Tracking
- Essential website functionality.
- Anonymous analytics (e.g., Google Analytics).
- Session management and user preferences.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for more details.
11. Data Security
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
- Access control and internal audit trails.
- Encrypted cloud storage.
- Role-based data access for authorised personnel only.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect regulatory, legal, or operational changes. The latest version is always available at www.altfundsglobal.com/legal. Significant updates will be announced on the website or via direct communication where appropriate.
