Our Commitment to Your Privacy

This Sixth Street Website Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) applies to sixthstreetpartners.com, tssp.com, tpgsixthstreetpartners.com, tpg6streetpartners.com, 6thstreetpartners.com, advisorstssp.com, and tpgsixthstreet.com (together, the “Site”), which provides information about the affiliated entities commonly referred to as “Sixth Street Partners” or “Sixth Street.”

Information We Collect and How We Use It

Other than as set out in this Privacy Notice, this Site does not directly collect any personal information. You may, however, choose to contact us by email, in which case we will collect your name, email address and any other personal information that you choose to provide to us. Please do not provide personal information that you do not want us to have.

If you choose to provide personal information to us, we will use that information for the purpose(s) for which you provided it to us. For example, if you provide your contact information when making an enquiry to us, we will use that contact information to process and respond to that enquiry and any related activity that may result from your enquiry. Similarly, if you are interested in joining the Sixth Street team and submit a resume or CV to us by email, we will use that information to assess your suitability for relevant roles with us and, where applicable, to contact you to progress your application.

In addition, we may gather limited information about you automatically through your use of the Site, e.g., your IP address and how you navigate our Site. With your consent (where required by law), we do this by using cookies. For more information on the cookies we use and why we use them, please see the Cookie Notice below.

The following chart describes the categories of Personal Information we expect have collected about individuals, where and why we collected it, and the categories of entities with which we shared the Personal Information, if any.

How We Share the Information We Collect

We may share your personal information with financial institutions with whom we partner or business counter-parties, for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

We may share your personal information with service providers that perform services on our behalf such as analytics providers and hosting providers. In accordance with applicable law, we have entered into legally binding agreements requiring them to use or disclose personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or, where permitted by law, to comply with applicable legal requirements.

In addition, we may disclose personal information about you (a) if we are required or permitted to do so by law or legal process, for example due to a court order or a request from a law enforcement agency, (b) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss, (c) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraudulent or other illegal activity, and (d) in conjunction with (i) the making, management, or disposition of any of our investments, (ii) business continuity, or (iii) to successors in interest or entities that acquire all or part of our business in connection to a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event.

Links to Third-Party Websites

The Site may contain links to other web sites. We have no control over and are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of such sites. Whenever you link to another web site, you may be asked to provide registration or other information. Please note that any personal information that you provide is going to a third party, and therefore you should familiarize yourself with that party’s privacy policy or notice.

Information Security

We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the personal information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process. While we are committed to developing, implementing, maintaining, monitoring and updating a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to vulnerabilities, criminal exploits or other factors that cannot reasonably be prevented. Accordingly, while our reasonable security program is designed to manage data security risks and thus help prevent data security incidents and breaches, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.

Accessibility

Sixth Street is committed to ensuring that our communications are accessible to individuals with disabilities. Individuals with disabilities can access this Privacy Notice in alternative formats by contacting us at the address, phone, or email address below.

This website is designed to meet content accessibility guidelines. To submit accessibility-related requests or report barriers to accessibility, please contact us at 1-877-543-3198 or contact tsspprivacy@tssp.com.

Your web browser can be set to allow you to control whether you will accept cookies, reject cookies, or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to you.

Do Not Track

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on DNT, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they do not track the user. Sixth Street does not change its practices, described elsewhere in this Privacy Notice, in response to DNT browser settings or signals. For information about DNT, visit www.allaboutdnt.org.

Third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites, including your use of this Site. This Privacy Notice does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, the practices of third parties that collect your personal information.

How Long We Keep Information

The time period for which we keep personal information depends on the purposes for which we collected it. In all cases we keep it for as long as necessary to fulfill those purposes. We will then delete this personal information unless we are required to preserve your personal data in connection with litigation, investigations and proceedings, or if a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.

If you consider that we have processed your personal information in violation of applicable law and failed to remedy such violation to your reasonable satisfaction, you may also lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your country.

2. Rights Under California Law

If you are a resident of California, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as described in this section of our Privacy Notice. Please note that we operate substantially in a business-to-business (“B2B”) context and nearly all of personal information we obtain, use and share is covered in whole or in part by applicable CCPA exemptions for B2B data, financial data covered by federal law such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and employment-related data. We do not sell personal information subject to CCPA.

Individuals who are California residents and whose information is covered by the relevant provisions of the CCPA, and is not subject to applicable exemptions, may have the following privacy rights, provided that the appropriate level of authentication is provided:

• to request disclosure of personal information we collect and share about you during the 12-month period preceding our receipt of the request, including:

  • the categories of personal information we have collected about you

  • the categories of sources from which we collected the personal information

  • the business or commercial purposes for which we collected or sold the personal information

  • the categories of third parties with which we shared the personal information

  • the categories of personal information that we have shared with service providers who provide services to us

  • the specific pieces of personal information we collected

• to request deletion of personal information we have collected about you.

There may be some types of personal information that can be associated with a household (a group of people living together in a single home). Requests for access or deletion of household Personal Information must be made by each member of the household. We will verify each member of the household using the verification criteria explained below. If we are unable to verify the identity of each household member with the degree of certainty required, we will not be able to respond to the request. In addition, we may not comply with requests that would infringe on the privacy rights of other individuals. We will notify you to explain the basis of our denial.

You have a right not to be discriminated against for the exercise of the privacy rights conferred by the CCPA. If you exercise any of the rights explained in this Privacy Notice, we will continue to treat you fairly and not discriminate against you on the basis that you have exercised such rights.

To respond to your requests, we will ask you for at least two pieces of personal information and, for requests for specific pieces of personal information, we will ask you for at least three pieces of personal information. The information we require may vary depending on your relationship to us, and may include your full legal name, residential address, email, phone, as well information we may have on file about you or other information that may be necessary to verify your identity. If you are requesting on behalf of another consumer, we may request additional information from you and/or the consumer to verify their identity. If you are legally entitled to such rights, you may designate an agent to submit a request on your behalf. The agent can be a natural person or a business entity that is registered with the California Secretary of State. If you would like to designate an agent to act on your behalf, you and the agent will need to comply with our agent verification process.
