Cookies
To make our website work properly, we may place small text files called cookies on your device. A cookie is saved by a website on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time.

Why we may transfer your personal data

In addition, your personal data may be shared with fund administrators or vendors (e.g. IT support) that Sector has entered into non-disclosure agreements with.

Registered personal data will be reported to public authorities if there is a statutory duty of providing information.

The data protection measures we take
Any transfer of personal data by us shall be subject to appropriate safeguards being in place in accordance with the conditions in the Data Protection Legislation. We and our duly authorised delegates shall apply appropriate information security measures designed to protect data in our possession from unauthorised access by third parties or any form of computer corruption.

We shall notify you of any personal data breach affecting you that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms.
