Data Privacy

As a global business, Hg is subject to applicable data privacy laws and requirements in the jurisdictions in which it operates. But more than that, Hg understands the importance of managing data privacy risks wisely, both for Hg itself and in championing the portfolio companies we invest in, and that doing so helps us to maintain the trust of our investors, partners, staff, portfolio companies, and counterparts when processing their personal data. We want them to know that we respect their rights as individuals and that we seek to keep their personal information secure, in line with Hg’s stated values.

During 2023/24 we grew our dedicated expert portfolio team onboarding a full-time data privacy SME. This enables us to lead the way in data privacy accountability and good governance at Hg and in our portfolio companies. We take a collaborative and proactive approach to data privacy compliance, understanding that many stakeholders are involved in effectively managing data privacy risks. Working closely with our dedicated ESG and cybersecurity teams and with our expert data protection network across our portfolio helps ensure we stay focused on active privacy risk management.
