HubSpot:
We use the services of the software manufacturer HubSpot. HubSpot is a software company from the USA with a branch in Ireland (HubSpot European Headquarters, Ground Floor, Two Dockland Central, Guild Street, Dublin 1, Ireland).
HubSpot is a service platform. The service we use is an integrated software solution with which we can manage customer data and cover various aspects of our online marketing. This includes, among other things, the analysis of landing pages and reporting. So-called "web beacons" are used for this purpose, and cookies are stored on the device you use.
The following personal data, for example, can be collected:
• IP address,
• geographical location,
• type of browser,
• duration of visit,
• pages accessed.
The collected information and the contents of our website are stored on the servers of our software partner, HubSpot Ireland. We use HubSpot to analyze the use of our website. This way, we can continuously optimize our website and make it more user-friendly. Additionally, we use the information to determine which services of our company are interesting for customers and newsletter subscribers and to contact them for advertising purposes. Furthermore, with the evaluation, we optimize our web offer for you.
However, we only use your IP address in a shortened version. This means that HubSpot shortens the IP address of users within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a HubSpot server in the USA and shortened there.
The cookies typically have a lifespan of 13 months. Furthermore, we delete the personal data collected via HubSpot as soon as the purpose for which they were collected is achieved, unless statutory retention periods prevent deletion. The information generated by the cookie about the user's use of the online offer can usually also be transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Further information on the functionality of HubSpot can be found in the privacy policy of HubSpot Inc.

Tenity Incubation GP II S.à r.l. (the AIFM), a Luxembourg-based registered alternative investment fund manager within the meaning of article 3(2)(b) of Directive 2011/61/EU of 8 June 2011 on alternative investment fund managers (AIFMD), makes the following disclosures for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR) and Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment (the Taxonomy Regulation).
The AIFM acts as registered alternative investment fund manager of Tenity Incubation Fund II SCSp (the Fund).
General overview
Sustainability risks are defined in SFDR as environmental, social or governance ("ESG") events which if they occur could cause an actual or a potential negative impact on the value of the Fund's investments (sustainability risks are referred to herein as "ESG risks").
Sustainability due diligences may be conducted on an ad hoc basis for the Fund before making an investment to assess potential ESG risks, the status of regulatory compliance, determine the potential for positive contribution to social and/or environmental issues and set up the management structures to measure, report and verify performance. There can be no assurance, however, that such due diligence will reveal all ESG risks or sustainability liabilities relating to an investment that could emerge from adverse impact or from the failure to perform and positively contribute to environmental or social issues.
Relevance of sustainability risks
Based on the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategy, the AIFM considers that ESG risks will have a limited impact on the returns of the Fund.
Principal adverse impacts are defined in the SFDR as those impacts of investment decisions that result in negative effects on sustainability factors. For the purpose of the SFDR, sustainability factors comprise environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights, anti-corruption and anti-bribery matters.
Article 4(1) of the SFDR requires fund managers such as the AIFM to provide a clear statement as to whether or not they consider such principal adverse impacts.
Although ESG and sustainability risks are important to the AIFM, the latter does not consider the adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors in the manner prescribed by article 4(1) of the SFDR, in particular due to the fact that (i) no reliable and sufficiently available or accessible data are available to perform such impact measurement and provide the mandatory reporting imposed by the regulatory technical standards in a consistent manner; (ii) the investment strategy and objectives of the Fund and thus its overall portfolio are neither ESG-focused nor, in the opinion of the AIFM, likely to have an impact on sustainability factors and (iii) the underlying investments are not generally required to, and may not currently, report on such factors.
Transparency of other financial products in pre-contractual disclosures and in periodic reports – article 7 of the Taxonomy Regulation
The investments underlying this financial product do not take into account the EU criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities.
