Overview

(as of February 2025)

Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“Apollo”) and its subsidiaries1 (together “us,” “we,” or “Apollo”) take precautions to maintain the privacy of personal information concerning Apollo’s current and prospective investors who are individuals/natural persons. These precautions include the adoption of certain procedures designed to maintain and secure such investors’ nonpublic personal information from inappropriate disclosure to third parties. U.S. federal regulations require Apollo to inform investors of its privacy policy regarding what kinds of information it collects and the circumstances in which that information may be disclosed to third parties. Please see the Appendix to this policy for additional information about our privacy practices regarding the European Union, United Kingdom, Cayman Islands, California, and other jurisdictions that may grant natural persons certain privacy rights.

 

We collect nonpublic personal information about investors from the following sources:

 

  • information Apollo receives from an investor in its subscription documentation, other forms or agreements, and correspondence (written, telephonic, or electronic), including identifiers, such as an investor’s name, address, social security number, and commercial information such as assets, income, and amounts or types of such investor’s investments;
  • commercial information about an investor’s transactions with Apollo, its affiliates, and nonaffiliated third parties, such as an investor’s capital account balance, other account data, and participation in other investments; and
  • commercial information Apollo may receive from a consumer reporting agency, such as an investor’s credit history.

 

We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about prospective, current, or former investors to anyone, except as requested or authorized by an investor or to certain affiliates and service providers as permitted or as otherwise required by law or regulation. We do not sell your nonpublic personal information. We may use nonpublic personal information that you provide to market services to you in the future, including through our use of third-party website cookies and similar technologies.

 

Except as described below or as otherwise required by law or regulation, we do not disclose to affiliates or to nonaffiliates any nonpublic personal information about you. We do disclose information to affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties for our everyday business purposes, such as to process your transactions, to maintain your investments in funds managed by Apollo, and to respond to court orders and legal investigations, or as permitted by law. We also provide such information to our affiliates, attorneys, banks, auditors, securities brokers, and service providers as may be necessary to facilitate the acceptance and management of your investments in funds managed by Apollo and to enable them to perform services on our behalf. We may also provide your name, address, telephone number, social security number, or financial condition information to affiliates or nonaffiliated third parties, such as broker-dealers, engaged in marketing activities on our behalf, such as the solicitation of your investment in future funds managed by Apollo. We will require such third-party service providers and financial institutions to protect the confidentiality of the investors’ nonpublic personal information and to use the information only for purposes for which it is disclosed to them. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with U.S. federal standards to safeguard investors’ nonpublic personal information.

 

We will adhere to the policies and practices described in this Privacy Policy regardless of whether the investor is a prospective, current or former investor.

 

If you have any questions concerning this Privacy Policy, please contact privacy@apollo.com.

Appendix: European Union, United Kingdom, Cayman Islands, California, and Other Jurisdictional Privacy Notice

This notice, along with the Privacy Policy above, describes how Apollo,2 as a data controller, collects and processes Personal Information (as defined below) about natural persons residing in the European Union (“EU”), the United Kingdom (“UK”), and other jurisdictions that may grant natural persons certain privacy rights,3 as well as in relation to an Apollo entity that is established in the European Union or United Kingdom or an entity that is established in the Cayman Islands. This notice also provides such persons with information about the rights they may have in relation to Personal Information (as defined below). If you are a California Resident (as defined below), please review the below section Additional Information for California Residents for additional disclosures, our Notice at Collection, and a description of your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (with any implementing regulations, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) and as may be amended from time to time, “CCPA”).

 

If we materially change our privacy practices regarding Personal Information (as defined below), we will notify relevant individuals. For purposes of this Appendix, “investors” includes directors, officers, employees, owners, limited partners, agents, consultants, representatives, and beneficiaries of investors that are not natural persons.

Collection of Information

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect nonpublic personal information as described elsewhere in the Privacy Policy and other Personal Information about you. “Personal Information” for purposes of this notice means any information that can help us directly or indirectly identify you, and as otherwise defined under applicable law.

 

We may collect certain categories of Personal Information from investors, including:

  • education information, including information that is not publicly available, personally identifiable information as defined in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act;

  • inferences drawn from any of the information identified above to create a profile reflecting your preferences or similar information, including your potential interest in investing in new funds; and

How We Collect Information

Investors may provide us with Personal Information in connection with their investments in Apollo funds, which may include address, social security number, wire transfer instructions, and the amount of assets or income. This information is required before investors can be accepted into an Apollo fund, and not providing it may mean that we are not able to accept an investment. As described in the Privacy Policy, investors provide us with information directly and/or through intermediates in subscription documentation and may continue to provide information through ongoing communications or interactions with us on an applicable website or by mail, e-mail, or telephone.

 

We also collect Personal Information from different sources such as consultants, fund administrators, identity verification services, and credit reference agencies, sources designed to detect and prevent fraud, and those sources described in the Privacy Policy.

 

We may also collect Personal Information through publicly available sources such as public websites or other publicly accessible directories and sources, including bankruptcy registers, tax authorities, governmental agencies and departments, sanctions screening databases, and regulatory authorities.

Why We Collect Information

As permitted by applicable laws, we use Personal Information primarily to communicate with investors.

 

We may use Personal Information for the following business or commercial purposes, and the lawful bases for our processing include the following:

 

  • comply with our obligations to investors under contract or related pre-contractual steps;
  • support our business development and marketing initiatives. We do this to meet our business interests in expanding our business. We only send direct electronic marketing messages where recipients have agreed to this or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. Individuals can opt out of receiving such messages at any time by using the opt-out mechanisms that may be available in those messages or by contacting us via the channels provided below;
  • where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. This processing benefits investors by supporting our provision of services;
  • protect our rights, establish, exercise or defend legal claims and in order to protect and enforce our (or another person’s) rights, property, or safety, or to assist others to do the same;
  • maintain security and prevent or detect crime and fraud. In many cases we are required to do this by applicable laws, but we will otherwise do so to meet our interests in maintaining security and preventing crime, which is also in the interest of our investors;
  • compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including to meet our legitimate interests or those of a third party;
  • detect security incidents and protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, including preventing fraud and conducting “Know Your Client,” anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, and conflict checks;
  • internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, and statistical and survey purposes;
  • audit compliance with Apollo’s corporate policies and contractual obligations. This is necessary to meet our legal and regulatory obligations, for example to financial services regulators, and if not strictly necessary to meet these obligations, to allow us to meet our interests in running our business to our high corporate standards, which is beneficial to investors as these help protect investments and information; and
  • with your consent, as required under applicable law.

 

We may be legally obliged to process certain Personal Information in order to be able to perform services and business operations or to comply with contractual requirements. If you choose not to provide us with the necessary Personal Information or to restrict us from processing Personal Information, we may not be able to meet our obligations or deliver the products or services requested. This may lead to cancellation of contracts; if this is the case, we will endeavor to contact you to discuss this.

How We Disclose Information

We disclose information for the purposes described above in the Privacy Policy and on the grounds described above in this Appendix. We may also disclose Personal Information as required to pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain, to enforce our rights, protect our property or protect the rights, property or safety of others, to prevent fraud, unauthorized transactions or liability; or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions.

 

We may also share information about you to the extent reasonably necessary to proceed with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a merger, reorganization, or acquisition of our business, or a sale, liquidation, or transfer of some or all of our assets.

Security Measures

We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information to store and secure Personal Information from unauthorized access, alteration, and destruction. Our control policies, for example, generally authorize access to investor information only by individuals who need such access to do their work. Given the nature of information security, there is no guarantee that such safeguards will always be successful.

Transfers of Information

Our activities and the jurisdictions in which we are established are such that it may be necessary for Personal Information that we collect to be transferred, as permitted by applicable laws, to the United States and other countries where we or our service providers have facilities. When we transfer Personal Information to a country that is not regarded as ensuring an adequate level of protection for Personal Information under European Union, United Kingdom, the Cayman Islands, or other applicable laws, we will seek to ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to Personal Information by ensuring that, where possible, we put in place appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission or other relevant authority) or otherwise transfer Personal Information in accordance with applicable laws, such as where the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us or between us and a third party in your interest, where the transfer is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or where the transfer is made for important reasons of public interest. For more information on specific mechanisms we rely on for transferring Personal Information, please contact us at the details provided in the Contact section below.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain Personal Information for as long as we have a relationship with the individuals to whom the information relates and for a period after our relationship has ended. When deciding how long to keep Personal Information after our relationship has ended, we take into account how long we need to retain the information to fulfill the purposes described above and to comply with our legal regulatory obligations, including obligations of our regulators. We may also retain Personal Information to investigate or defend against potential legal claims in accordance with the limitation periods of countries where legal action may be brought.

Individual Rights and Choices

Subject to certain local laws, individuals may have certain additional rights regarding their Personal Information. In particular, individuals may have the right to object to our uses of their Personal Information. Individuals who would like to discuss or exercise such rights can contact us at the details provided in the Contact section below. These additional rights may include the rights to (i) access Personal Information; (ii) rectify the Personal Information we hold; (iii) erase Personal Information; (iv) restrict our use of Personal Information; (v) object to the processing of your Personal Information in certain circumstances, including where we process Personal Information for direct marketing purposes or where we have processed such data on the basis of our legitimate interests; (vi) withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Information (where applicable); (vii) receive Personal Information in a usable electronic format and transmit it to a third party (also known as the right of data portability); and (vi) lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (“EEA”) Member State in which you live, work or where the infringement occurred or in respect of an entity organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, as overseen by the Ombudsman in the Cayman Islands. If you are a California Resident, please review Additional Information for California Residents below for a description of your California-specific rights regarding your Personal Information.
