Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

If you want us to establish the data's accuracy.

Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.

Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it, as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use, or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the details provided at the start of the policy.

No fee is usually required

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

COOKIES POLICY

Welcome to the COOKIES POLICY of the QUICKERS VENTURE, S.L. entity's website, provided with CIF ESB42674317, where we will explain in clear and simple language all the necessary questions so that you can have control over them based on your personal decisions

• ¿WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT DO WE USE THEM FOR?

A cookie is a small information file that is stored on your computer, smartphone, or tablet every time you visit our website.

In general, a cookie is harmless: it does not contain viruses, Trojans, worms, etc. that may damage your terminal, but it does have some impact on your right to the protection of your personal data, as it collects certain information concerning your person (browsing habits, identity, preferences, etc.).

That is why, based on the provisions of the applicable regulations (LSSI and current personal data protection regulations), the activation of certain types of cookies will require your prior authorization.

Through a step as simple and fast as marking a box in our COOKIES CONFIGURATION section, you can give your authorization for the activation of the cookies you want: take control and enjoy personalized navigation on our page.

Before that, we will give you some additional information that will help you to make better decisions about it.:

1. Cookies can be of various types depending on their purpose:

• Technical cookies are necessary for our website to work, do not need your authorization and are the only ones we have activated by default.
• The rest of the cookies can be used to improve our page, to personalize it based on your preferences, or to be able to show you advertising adjusted to your searches and personal interests. All of them are deactivated by default, and your prior authorization is required for activation, which you can perform through a step as simple and fast as marking a box in our COOKIES CONFIGURATION section.

2. Some cookies are ours (we will call them own cookies) and others belong to external companies that provide services for our website (we will call them third-party cookies: an example could be cookies from external providers such as Google). In this sense, it is important that you know that some of these external suppliers may be located outside of Spain.

Globally, not all countries have the same level of data protection, with some countries being safer than others (for example, the European Union is a secure environment for your data). Our policy is to rely on reliable suppliers who, regardless of whether or not they are located in the European Union, have adopted the appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal information. However, in the section called WHAT KIND OF COOKIES ARE CURRENTLY USED ON OUR WEBSITE?, you can consult the different Privacy and data protection policies of each of the aforementioned external providers, in order to make a conscious decision activation or not of third-party cookies used by our website

3. Finally, we explain to you that, depending on the period of time they remain active, cookies can be of two types:

• Session cookies: they expire automatically when you finish the session on your computer, smartphone or tablet. They are usually used to keep the necessary information while providing a service only once..
• Persistent cookies: they remain stored on your computer, smartphone or tablet for a certain period, which can vary from a few minutes to several years.

• WHAT KIND OF COOKIES CAN WE USE ON OUR WEBSITE?

• Technical Cookies:

Technical cookies are strictly necessary for our website to work and for you to navigate through it. These types of cookies are those that, for example, allow us to identify you, give you access to certain restricted parts of the page if necessary, or remember different options or services already selected by you, such as your privacy preferences.

• Behavioral Advertising Cookies:

Behavioral advertising cookies allow us to obtain information based on the observation of your browsing habits and behaviors on the web, in order to show you advertising content that best suits your personal interests.

and

the investor whether in projects, equity, debt or any relation with Quickers (from now on, the "Potential Investo​r")

The Potential Investor is interested in subscribing for an interest in one or more startups offered on the Quickers platform (each a “Quickers Startup”) managed by a general partner affiliated with Quickers (the “General Partner” ). Each such Quickers Startup intends to invest in one or more target portfolio startups (the “​Target Startups”). In connection with the evaluation of such potential subscription (the “Subscription”), the Potential Investor wishes to obtain certain Confidential Information (as defined below) with respect to, inter alia, the General Partner, the Quickers Startup, the Target Startups and their affiliates (the “Permitted Use”). 

1. The term “Confidential Information” means any and all business, financial, technical and non-technical information provided by Quickers, Quickers affiliates and/or subsidiaries, the General Partner or their affiliates to the Potential Investor, which may include without limitation information regarding: (a) Quickers; (b) the Quickers Startups; (c) the Target Startups; and (d) all other information that the Potential Investor knew, or reasonably should have known, was the Confidential Information of Quickers, the General Partner, a Quickers Startup or a Target Startup. 

2. Subject to clause 3, the Potential Investor agrees that at all times and notwithstanding any termination or expiration of this Agreement it will hold in strict confidence and not disclose to any third party any Confidential Information, except as approved in writing by Quickers, and will use the Confidential Information for no purpose other than the Permitted Use. The Potential Investor agrees to apply the same security measures and degree of care to the Confidential Information as the Potential Investor applies to its own confidential information, which the Potential Investor warrants as providing adequate protection from unauthorized disclosure, copying or use. The Potential Investor will limit access to the Confidential Information to those of its employees or authorized representatives who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the Permitted Use and who have signed confidentiality agreements containing, or are otherwise bound by, confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as those contained herein. 

3. The Potential Investor will not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to any Confidential Information which: 

1. (a)  at the time of its disclosure was in the public domain; 
2. (b)  after disclosure came into the public domain for a reason except the failure of the 

Potential Investor to comply with the terms of this Agreement; 

(c) was lawfully in the Potential Investor’s possession prior to such disclosure; 1 

(d) was subsequently communicated to the Potential Investor from a third party without obligations of confidentiality; or 

(e) was developed by employees or agents of the Potential Investor who had no access to any Confidential Information. 

4. Notwithstanding the above, the Potential Investor may disclose certain Confidential Information, without breaching the terms of this Agreement, to the extent such disclosure is required by a valid order of a court or other governmental body having jurisdiction, provided that the Potential Investor provides Quickers with reasonable prior written notice of such disclosure and makes a reasonable effort to obtain, or to assist Quickers in obtaining, a protective order preventing or limiting the disclosure and/or requiring that the Confidential Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the law or regulation required, or for which the order was issued. 

5. The Potential Investor will immediately notify Quickers in the event of any loss or unauthorised disclosure of any Confidential Information. 

6. Confidential Information is and shall remain the sole property of Quickers or the respective private equity startup manager, as applicable. The Potential Investor recognises and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed as granting any property rights, by license or otherwise, to any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement, or to any invention or any patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right that has issued or that may issue, based on such Confidential Information. 

7. Confidential Information will not be reproduced in any form except as required to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement. Any reproduction of any Confidential Information will remain the property of Quickers and will contain any and all confidential or proprietary notices that appear on the original, unless otherwise authorized in writing by Quickers. 

8. This Agreement will terminate upon closure of the Potential Investor’s account on the Quickers platform. The Potential Investor’s obligations under this Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement and will be binding upon the Potential Investor’s successors and assigns. The Potential Investor’s obligations with respect to all Confidential Information will terminate only pursuant to clause 4. 

9. If a contract is executed between the General Partner and the Potential Investor in relation to the completion of a particular Subscription, any undertakings and obligations contained in that contract will supersede this Agreement with regard to that particular Subscription unless otherwise provided in that other contract. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement will remain in effect with regard to other potential Subscriptions of the Potential Investor. 

10. The Potential Investor acknowledges that: (a) he or she is solely responsible for the evaluation of the Subscription and the business and financial information relating to a Quickers Startup and a Target Startup; (b) the Confidential Information supplied does not imply a representation, warranty or guarantee (express or implied) as to its accuracy and completeness; (c) the Confidential Information supplied in no way constitutes an offer for Subscription; and (d) the Confidential Information may not be relied on for any purpose. 

11. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. To the extent legally permissible, the courts of Alicante (Spain, UE) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Target Startup initiates a legal proceeding to enforce any portion of this Agreement relevant to it, the laws of the country where the 

2 

general partner of such Target Startup is domiciled shall govern this Agreement in such instance, without regard to such country’s principles of conflicts of laws. 

12. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a proper authority to be unenforceable or invalid, such unenforceability or invalidity will not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole and, in such event, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. 

13. The Potential Investor will not assign, sub-contract or deal in any way with any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Quickers. 

14. Each of the Quickers Startup, the General Partner, and the Target Startup are specifically included herein as an intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement with authority to enforce any portion relevant to it. 

15. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. To the extent legally permissible, the courts of Alicante (Spain, UE) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Target Startup or its general partner initiates a legal proceeding to enforce any portion of this Agreement relevant to it, the laws of the country where the general partner of such Target Startup is domiciled shall govern this Agreement in that instance, without regard to such country’s principles of conflicts of laws. 

16. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Quickers and the Potential Investor and supersedes and extinguishes all previous drafts, agreements, arrangements and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. Each party agrees that it shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in this Agreement. Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation based on any statement in this Agreement. 

17. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement will be effective unless agreed upon in writing by Quickers and the Potential Investor.
