Privacy, Legal, Policies, & Additional Resources

LupoToro Group take a strong stance against Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking. The LupoToro Group is a registered and highly regulated company. In order to uphold our high standards both from an internal perspective, as well as from a governmental perspective, we actively adhere to a modern policy to protect our employees, partners, networks, and associates.

Modern Slavery is a term used to encompass slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour, bonded and child labour and human trafficking. Human trafficking is where a person arranges or facilitates the travel of another person with a view to that person being exploited. Modern slavery is a crime and a violation of fundamental human rights.

LupoToro Group is a company that expects everyone working with us or on our behalf to support and uphold the following measures to safeguard against modern slavery. We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery in our organisation, within our private networks of colleagues, conduits, partners, and within any of our supply chains.

The prevention, detection and reporting of modern slavery in any part of our organisation or supply chain is the responsibility of all those working for us or on our behalf. Employees, contractors, workers, and partners must not engage in, facilitate or fail to report any activity that might lead to, or suggest, a breach of this policy. We are committed to engaging with our stakeholders and networks to address the risk of modern slavery in our operations. We take a risk based, approach to our contracting processes and keep them under review. We assess whether the circumstances warrant the inclusion of specific prohibitions against the use of modern slavery and trafficked labour in our contracts with third parties. Consistent with our risk-based approach we may require; employment and recruitment agencies and other third parties supplying workers to our organisation to confirm their compliance with our policy and suppliers engaging workers through a third party to obtain that third parties’ agreement to adhere to the policy.

As part of our ongoing risk assessment and due diligence processes, we will consider whether circumstances warrant us carrying out audits of suppliers for their compliance with our policy. If we find that individuals or organisations working on our behalf have breached this policy, we will ensure that we take appropriate action. This may range from considering the possibility of breaches being remediated, and whether that might represent the best outcome for those individuals impacted by the breach, to terminating such relationships.

Any supplier of works, services, or support to LupoToro Group may be asked to complete a questionnaire on Anti-Slavery. The LupoToro Group will then decide whether to carry out an on-site, in-person audit of the particular party. The results of the questionnaire will also contribute a particular parties’ overall score rating at LupoToro Group and could affect future business. Any suspected breaches of our policy will be reported to relevant authorities.

The LupoToro Group are proud to strongly uphold a no-compromise and zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation of any sort. Any concerns should be immediately raised to legal@lupotoro.com.

As our reliance on the internet and digital devices for business and personal use increases, so do opportunities for criminals seeking to steal information for financial gain. Cyber criminals and fraudsters are also becoming more savvy in their attempts to lure people into clicking suspicious links, downloading email attachments, or “connecting” on social media, which are often gateways to stealing sensitive information. Fraudsters may pose as legitimate organisations and create fraudulent websites, send emails, or make phone calls to solicit monetary payments. These scams are complex as the perpetrators often use genuine real employee names and replicate proprietary documentation.

LupoToro Group places great importance on cybersecurity and fraud prevention and has programs and technical controls in place to protect client accounts and information. To help improve your personal cybersecurity posture, we offer the following information about cyber threats and guidance to help protect you, your family, and your employer from falling victim to a cyber-attack or fraud scam.

Understanding Cybersecurity Threats

Any organisation or individual can be a target of cyber criminals. Here are some of the most common tactics and types of attacks employed by these actors:

1. Malicious Emails and Websites
   An unsuspecting e-mail from your bank or favourite retailer may secretly be an attempt to steal your identity or personal information. “Phishing” is a common tactic of cyber criminals that relies on “spoofed” e-mails or fraudulent websites (that look and feel like a well-known website) to collect personal and financial information or infect your machine with malware and viruses. Criminals use this stolen information to commit identity theft, credit card fraud and other crimes. Phishing can also occur by telephone and is becoming increasingly prevalent on social media and professional networking sites.
   
   When you click a malicious link, you may unknowingly install malware on your device. Malware refers to software that is intentionally designed to cause damage to a digital device. The most common form of malware is a virus, which is typically designed to give the criminals who create it some sort of access to the infected devices. Ransomware is another type of malware that is becoming increasingly prevalent. Ransomware accesses a victim’s files, locks and encrypts them and then demands the victim to pay a ransom to get them back. Ransomware is like the “digital kidnapping” of valuable data – from personal photos and memories to client information, financial records and intellectual property. Any individual or organisation could be a potential ransomware target.

2. Credential-based Attacks
   If you use the same username and password combination across different websites or services, you are particularly susceptible to this cybercrime technique where stolen account credentials are used to gain unauthorised access to a user’s various other online accounts. Credential stuffing attacks can often go unnoticed until funds are transferred.

3. Social Media Impersonation
   Criminals are increasingly using social media to build relationships with victims and ultimately steal data. Typically, these actors create fake accounts that appear (and claim) to be official accounts for an individual or organisation. Social media impersonation can also refer to the takeover of real accounts. These accounts can be used for phishing activities or causing an individual or a company reputational damage.

How You Can Protect Yourself

• Establish Secure Email Protocols: Emails continue to be a common entry point for hackers for performing online fraud. Do not click on links or open attachments from suspicious-looking emails. Expand your communication protocol to verify sensitive information, such as wire instructions, in person or by telephone. Generally, LupoToro Group will never send wiring instructions via email.

• Employ Password Management: Use lengthy, unique, and complex passwords — a great first step toward stopping bad actors. In fact, cybersecurity best practices suggest utilising long, memorable, and hard-to guess passwords such as a favourite song lyric. Avoid reusing passwords. Consider using a password application, such as LastPass, Password or Dashlane to help manage multiple complex passwords.

• Enable 2-Step Authentication Measures: Where available, use 2-factor authentication for account login (2FA) a.k.a. two-step verification or multi-factor authentication, commonly done via a PIN sent over text message or email and done most securely when a hardware token or phone application is used. At a minimum, enable this capability for your email, cellular provider, financial websites, password manager, cloud file storage and social media.

• Lock Down Social Media: Periodically review and adjust social media account settings to better control who can view the content posted. Hackers and social engineers frequently obtain critical information about a target from social media sources. When posting, always consider how that information can be used against you.

• Reduce Your Public Online Footprint: Periodically review all your online accounts. Reduce and/ or obfuscate personal information on the internet, remove unnecessary data, delete unused accounts, and avoid sharing or reusing passwords across accounts to minimise exposure.

• Protect Critical Data: Know where all your sensitive personal information is stored. Ensure that your sensitive data is always stored encrypted, to prevent someone from viewing it if your device gets lost or stolen. Also consider having a second encrypted backup of your sensitive data, whether on a flash drive stored in a safety deposit box or in the cloud using a reputable service such as Dropbox, iCloud, or Google Drive.

• Protect Your Personal Devices: Configure devices securely, considering what your risks would be if your device were stolen. Use a difficult to guess passcode as a backup to biometric security such as a thumb print or Face ID, and be sure your device is encrypted. Ensure that sensitive data, such as email, does not display on the lock screen.

• Update Your Software: Keep all of your software up to date. Apply software updates as soon as possible once they become available. Consider enabling automatic updates where available.

• Secure Wi-Fi Access: Be aware that using public Wi-Fi can expose your communications and devices to risk. If you must use public Wi-Fi, consider a virtual private network (VPN) solution to protect your communications — particularly when traveling and using public Wi-Fi at the airport or hotel. Alternatively, consider using a mobile hotspot, to protect sensitive information. At home, use a guest network for visitors.

• Freeze Credit Lines: Thwart identity theft and minimise fraud risk with a call to major credit-reporting bureaus Experian, TransUnion and Equifax, as well as Innovis, the unofficial fourth credit bureau, to set a security freeze on your credit reports. Considering signing up for an identity theft protection service such as LifeLock, Kroll, or Experian, which also offers credit monitoring. These suggestions apply to all family members.

Understanding Financial Fraud

Financial fraud occurs when someone takes money or other assets from you through deception or criminal activity. Here are some common examples of financial fraud:

1. Investment Scams
   Investment scams involve getting you or your business to agree to a financial transaction on the promise of a questionable financial opportunity. To perpetrate these scams, fraudsters typically present the opportunity by making contact by email, through a website, or by phone, often going through great lengths to gain the victim’s trust and even that they may be in a genuine relationship. These offers are typically low risk –high reward investments that typically sound “too good to be true”— because they are! To evaluate whether you are the target of an investment scam, you should consider:

1. How were you contacted? Any contact with LupoToro Group will come from an @lupotoro.com e-mail address (not from a free email account such as Yahoo, Gmail or any other domain outside of “@lupotoro.com”) and/or be found on the lupotoro.com website

2. Did I find the investment opportunity through a website not associated with LupoToro Group? E.g. a comparison website

3. Have I provided my personal information on a website not associated with LupoToro Group?

4. Have I been contacted by cold call or e-mail offering a low risk – high return investment opportunity?

5. Does the e-mail or documentation contain numerous spelling errors or misprints?

6. Have I provided photo ID or proof of address documentation? If you have, consider notifying the organisation that issued them and contacting your regional fraud prevention service

7. Was I pressured into making a money transfer to avoid missing an opportunity?

2. Identity Theft
   Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal information and uses it without your permission. Examples of how your information could be used include opening bank accounts, taking out credit cards and loans or applying for government benefits and documents in your name.
   
   There is no definite rule on how to protect yourself from identity theft however, in addition to the cybersecurity good practices listed above, you can protect yourself by:

   1. Not sharing your personal data with anyone/any site you’re not familiar with.

   2. Safely disposing of unwanted documents such as utility bills or bank statements.

3. Business Email Compromise
   Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams are carried out when a cybercriminal compromises legitimate business or personal email accounts to intercept the communication between the victim and their business partner or to conduct unauthorised transfers of funds. Fraudsters commonly tend to intercept email wire instructions from investments firms, real estate agencies, and art dealers to then impersonate a trusted source.
   
   In addition to the cybersecurity good practices listed above, protect yourself by:

   1. Confirming the payment instructions with the recipient verbally, not by email

   2. Watching for irregularities when receiving transfer instructions or sudden change of payment information via email

If you receive a cold call or e-mail from LupoToro Group that you are uncertain about, or which you believe to be fraudulent, please forward it to legal@lupotoro.com. The LupoToro Group will investigate the e-mail and respond back to you. If you are a client of the firm, please notify your sales representative or investment professional, as well.

Specific Data Protection Code

The firm is subject to various privacy laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The definition of “personal data” can vary widely, but generally includes information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual (e.g., name and address, government identification number). The relevant data protection laws require the firm to be transparent about how it collects, uses, and discloses personal data. These laws also mandate security controls to protect personal data, and they contemplate taking appropriate steps in situations where personal data may have been improperly disclosed or subject to unauthorised access or misuse. Several laws grant individuals some degree of control over how the firm processes their personal data. Our people and agents are required to: comply with applicable data protection laws and the privacy policies of the businesses of which they are a part; keep personal data secure; and escalate incidents involving the potential misuse of personal data.

Anti-Bribery Code

We are committed to seeking and retaining business based on merit and the excellence of our performance. The firm does not tolerate bribery or corruption of or by our people, agents, vendors, or other business partners. Our people are strictly prohibited from improperly providing anything of value to anyone in order to obtain or retain business or any improper business advantage. This includes: public officials, candidates for office, employees, or officers of state-owned enterprises; employees or officers of counterparties; clients/customers or suppliers; any agent of the aforementioned parties; or any other person with whom the firm does or anticipates doing business. Our people are also prohibited from receiving or accepting bribes. “Anything of value” includes obvious improper payments, such as cash bribes or kickbacks, but also may include other direct or indirect benefits and advantages, such as inappropriate gifts, meals, travel, entertainment, charitable and political contributions, and offers of employment or internships. Some specific activities, such as interacting with government officials, can present increased bribery and corruption risk, and therefore, pre-approval is required before anything of value is provided to such “Restricted Recipients.” Restricted Recipients include employees or representatives of governments, government agencies, public international organisations (e.g., World Bank), state-owned enterprises, and public pension funds. The firm also prohibits facilitation payments, as well as the use of third parties or intermediaries/finders to route any inappropriate payments. In retaining any third parties, we must adhere to our processes and procedures concerning the diligence and oversight of third-party relationships. We must each remain vigilant about potential bribery concerns and escalate them immediately.

Anti-Money Laundering

The firm is committed to ensuring that its people and services are not used to facilitate the flow of, or conceal the origin of, criminally-derived funds or the financing of terrorism (collectively “money laundering”). Our dedication to integrity requires strict compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations. To comply with these procedures, we must adhere to all “know your customer” requirements and be alert for, and promptly report, any unusual or potentially suspicious activity that could involve money laundering, terrorist financing, violations of law or regulation, or any other activity that has no apparent legitimate business purpose or is outside of the ordinary course of a client’s business activity.
