OBTAINING YOUR INFORMATION
You are free to browse our website without providing any personal or any other information whatsoever. If you wish to apply for any of our products or services, it will be necessary for us to obtain information from you in order that we may consider your application further.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
Signing up for communications from us: The information you provide is used to record your interest in receiving updates from us, including in what format (email, post) and whether you have a particular area you are interested in. We’ll then use your contact data to send you that information.
Registering your interest in becoming an investor: We’ll use your information to assess whether you have the necessary knowledge and experience to qualify as an investor partner. If you do qualify, we will also use your information to undertake identity and money laundering checks and to send you information about being an investor partner, including the agreement that you will need to sign. We’ll then use your information to send you details about investments, both in new opportunities and statements/news about any you are already invested in. Further information about our use of your information will be provided with your investor partner agreement.
Applying for funding for your business: We’ll use your information to assess whether your business might qualify for funding and, if so, to contact you for additional information so that we can undertake further due diligence checks (the forms you will be asked to complete at that stage will provide you with more detail about how we use your information).
THIRD PARTIES

Sometimes we need to share your information with third parties outside of Cognition. We may do this for the following reasons:

  • To protect Cognition or others, we may share your information with third parties where this is necessary to comply with the law or to protect our or another person‘s rights, property, or safety. This includes exchanging information with third parties to protect against fraud and reduce payment risks, and with credit reference agencies to check your identity and to make other financial crime checks.
  • Where you are an applicant for business funding, we may share your information with our advisers as part of our due diligence process
  • We do not sell or share your personal information and/or data to third parties for third party direct marketing purposes. We may share information with third parties such as Google Analytics and Google Adwords, however the data that is provided contains no personally identifiable information. 
We will only share your information with third parties that we trust to act in our customers’ best interests and who treat our customers’ information with the same stringent controls that we apply ourselves.
METHODS OF CONTACTING YOU
Unless you have advised us to the contrary, we may contact you by telephone, letter or e-mail. However, where we are contacting you for marketing purposes, we will only use the methods of contact that you have consented to (you may withdraw your consent at any time).
KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION

The length of time we keep your information for depends on the basis on which it was provided. Generally however:

  • We will keep the information that is necessary to enable us to provide you with a service that you have requested through this website for as long as it takes us to provide that service.
  • We will keep your contact details for as long as we have your consent to send you marketing information and/or pass your contact details to third parties.

If you become aware that any of the data which we hold about you is inaccurate, or if you become aware of any circumstances that require changes to be made to any of the personal data which we hold about you, you should inform us as soon as possible; this is particularly important where we are processing an application for a loan for you, as failure to tell us your circumstances have changed may affect the ability of the lender to complete the loan.

Right to restrict processing – you have a right to block or suppress the processing of personal data in certain circumstances. If, for example, you contest the accuracy of personal data, processing may be restricted until the accuracy of the personal data has been verified. This may also apply where you contest that the processing is unlawful.
Right to object – you have a right to object to processing of your personal data if it is based on the performance of a legal task or is based on our legitimate interests. You also have the right to object where we process your information for research purposes.

This website contains information regarding the Maven Cognition EIS Fund (the “Fund”), including the Fund’s Information Memorandum (“IM”).

The IM is solely intended for (i) financial intermediaries, such as independent financial advisers who are authorised and regulated by the FCA, (“Intermediaries”); and (ii) categories of recipient who are permitted to receive financial promotions for restricted mass market investments under the FCA rules being:

  • existing clients of Intermediaries for whom an Intermediary has or will confirm that the Fund is a suitable Investment for them in accordance with COBS rule 9;
  • persons who meet the requirements for being a professional client in accordance with COBS rule 3.5;
  • certified high net worth investors in accordance with COBS rule 4.12A.22(1)(a)(i);
  • certified sophisticated investors in accordance with COBS rule 4.12A.22(1)(a)(ii); and
  • self-certified sophisticated investor in accordance with COBS rule 4.12A.22(1)(a)(iii).

Persons who are not in one of the above eligible categories should navigate away from this website and any who receive the IM should disregard it and take no action. No persons other than those in the categories above (and for whom the necessary preliminary steps have been successfully completed) will be permitted to make an investment in the Fund.

An investment in the Fund will place your capital at risk and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund is not suitable for everyone.

The Fund invests in smaller and unquoted companies which carry a higher risk than many other forms of investment. There is no guarantee that target returns will be achieved. There is no liquid market for shares in unquoted companies and there can be difficulties in valuing and disposing of investments in such companies. Tax reliefs will depend on the investors’ individual circumstance and are subject to change. 

Nothing in the IM or on this website constitutes investment or tax advice. All potential investors are recommended to seek advice from a regulated financial adviser that specialises in EIS fund investments before making an investment decision. An investment into the Fund may only be made on the basis of the information set out in the IM.
