6. Purposes of Processing Personal Data
Ravian processes personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, and solely for purposes that are legitimate, proportionate, and relevant to our business as a private investment fund. Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:
a) To assess and manage membership applications
We collect and process personal data in order to evaluate eligibility for membership in Ravian Investment Fund. This includes reviewing background information, investment alignment, and risk-related compliance factors, such as identity verification and sanctions screening.
b) To comply with legal and regulatory obligations
We may process personal data in order to fulfill obligations under applicable anti-money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and financial sanctions regulations, as well as general legal and tax compliance requirements. This includes verifying identity, reviewing the origin of funds (where applicable), and maintaining records for audit and supervisory purposes.

d) With your consent (where applicable)
In certain limited cases, we may request your explicit consent to process personal data — for example, if you ask to receive communications from us or if we conduct interviews or onboarding conversations requiring the processing of more detailed personal background information.
If consent is requested and granted, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of prior processing based on consent.
7. Data Retention Period
Ravian retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with legal, regulatory, or internal policy requirements.
Where no longer required, personal data is securely deleted or anonymized. In specific cases, Ravian may retain certain information for a longer period where necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to defend itself in the context of potential or ongoing litigation.

- Professional advisors — such as legal counsel, compliance consultants, or auditors.
- Regulatory or supervisory authorities — when required by applicable laws.
- IT and infrastructure providers — third-party service providers who assist Ravian in maintaining secure systems, under strict contractual and confidentiality obligations.
Ravian does not sell, lease, or trade personal data to third parties under any circumstances.
9. International Data Transfers
Ravian may transfer or store personal data outside of the jurisdiction in which it was originally collected.
When such transfers occur, we ensure that appropriate legal safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the use of Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms.
Where required, we will seek consent or provide notice in advance of such transfers.
