Cambium Partners Ltd – Privacy Policy
Cambium Partners Ltd (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a specialist search and advisory firm focused on the alternative funds industry. We take data privacy seriously and are committed to protecting the personal information of our clients, candidates, and website visitors.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data in line with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).
Cambium Partners Ltd is registered in England and Wales under company number 16114981, with its registered office at Castle House, Castle Street, Guildford, England GU1 3UW. We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
Because we rely on legitimate interests as our lawful basis for most of what we do, you have the right to object to our processing at any time. See Your Rights below.
We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:
For Clients & Business Contacts
For Candidates
For Website Visitors
Some of the information we hold comes directly from you — for example when you send us your CV, discuss a role or a market with us, or contact us through our website.
Because we operate a search and advisory business, we also obtain information from other sources:
If we hold information about you that did not come from you, we will point you to this notice when we first contact you.
We process personal data for the following purposes:
Providing Recruitment & Advisory Services
Matching candidates to roles, advising clients, and supporting career transitions.
Business Development & Relationship Management
Maintaining relationships with clients, candidates, and industry contacts.
Market Insights & Research
Providing salary benchmarking, industry trends, and talent market insights.
Legal & Regulatory Compliance
Meeting our obligations under applicable laws.
Website Analytics & Marketing
Improving our services and website performance.
We use AI-assisted software to help organise and structure the information we hold; for example, summarising our own meeting notes, structuring career history, and identifying which professionals may be relevant to a particular role or market question. These tools are provided by established third-party technology providers acting as our data processors under contract, and they are not permitted to use your data to train their models.
These tools support our work; they do not replace it. No decision that affects you is made solely by automated means; a person at Cambium reviews and decides on any action, including whether to approach you about a role or share your details with a client.
We process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating a specialist recruitment and advisory business (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR). Our legitimate interest is in maintaining a database of professionals and client organisations in the alternative asset management sector so that we can match candidates to roles, advise clients on the market, and maintain professional relationships over time.
We have carried out a Legitimate Interests Assessment and concluded that this processing is proportionate, is what individuals in this market would reasonably expect, and does not override your rights and freedoms. You can ask us for a summary of that assessment at any time.
Where we process data for a purpose outside this – for example sending marketing communications where consent is required – we will rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
From time to time we send market insights — for example salary trends, hiring activity and commentary on the sectors we cover — to professional contacts on our records. We rely on our legitimate interests to do this, on the basis that this information is useful to people working in this market.
If you would rather not receive them, tell us and we will stop. You can email privacy@cambium-partners.com at any time, and you do not need to give a reason.
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes set out in this notice.
For candidates and professional contacts, we review our records periodically and will generally delete or anonymise data where there has been no meaningful contact for six years. Given that professional careers run over decades and our relationships are long-term, this period reflects how long information remains genuinely useful for matching and market analysis.
For client contacts, we keep data for the duration of the relationship and for six years after the end of the last engagement, to meet our contractual, tax and accounting obligations.
You may ask us to delete your data sooner — see section 13, Your Rights.
We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties. However, we may share data with the following:
Clients
If you are a candidate, we may share your profile with potential employers, but only after discussing it with you.
Third-Party Service Providers
We use established software providers for cloud storage, email hosting and CRM.
Legal & Regulatory Authorities
If required by law, we may share data to comply with legal obligations.
We put contracts in place with our service providers which require them to keep personal data secure and to process it only on our instructions.
Our website uses cookies. Some are necessary for the site to function; others help us understand how the site is used.
Types of cookies we use:
We do not currently use cookies for advertising or targeted marketing.
When you first visit our website we show a cookie notice which allows you to refuse third-party, non-functional cookies. You can also block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings, including cookies our site has already set.
We take appropriate measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. The systems we use to store personal data use encryption and access controls, and we review our security arrangements periodically.
Some of the personal data we hold is stored and processed outside the UK. In particular, the contact database in which we hold most of our candidate and client records is provided by a technology company based in the United States, and data held in it is stored and processed there. Other technology providers we use may also process data outside the UK, and some of the assignments we work on involve clients, candidates or group companies based in other countries.
Where we transfer personal data outside the UK, we do so only where the receiving country is covered by UK adequacy regulations, or under the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, together with any additional safeguards those require. Our principal technology providers are engaged under written data protection terms that include those safeguards. You can ask us which mechanism applies to a particular transfer.
Under the UK GDPR you have the following rights. They are free to exercise, and exercising them will never count against you.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@cambium-partners.com. We will respond within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, please tell us first and we will try to put it right.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection: ico.org.uk, or 0303 123 1113.
We may update this policy periodically. The latest version will always be available on our website.
