All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete, and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to that personal information.

2. How Do We Process Your Information?

In short: We process your information to provide, improve, and administer our Services, communicate with you, support security and fraud prevention, comply with law, and pursue other purposes only with your prior explicit consent when required.

We process your personal information for a variety of reasons, depending on how you interact with our Services, including:

• To facilitate account creation and authentication and otherwise manage user accounts. We may process your information so you can create and log in to your account and keep your account in working order.
• To save or protect an individual's vital interest. We may process your information when necessary to save or protect an individual's vital interest, such as preventing harm.

3. What Legal Bases Do We Rely on to Process Your Personal Information?

In short: We process your personal information only when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal basis to do so under applicable law, including consent, compliance with law, performance of a contract, protection of rights, or legitimate business interests.

If you are located in the EU or UK

The GDPR and UK GDPR require us to explain the legal bases we rely on when processing your personal information. We may rely on:

• Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
• Legal obligations. We may process your information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, such as cooperating with law enforcement or regulatory agencies, exercising or defending our legal rights, or disclosing information in litigation.
• Vital interests. We may process your information where necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.

If you are located in Canada

We may process your information if you have given us specific permission to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or where permission can be implied. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including:

• If collection is clearly in the interests of an individual and consent cannot be obtained in a timely way.
• For investigations and fraud detection and prevention.
• For business transactions provided certain conditions are met.
• If it is contained in a witness statement and the collection is necessary to assess, process, or settle an insurance claim.
• For identifying injured, ill, or deceased persons and communicating with next of kin.
• If we have reasonable grounds to believe an individual has been, is, or may be a victim of financial abuse.
• If it is reasonable to expect collection and use with consent would compromise the availability or accuracy of the information and the collection is reasonable for investigating a breach of an agreement or a contravention of Canadian law.
• If disclosure is required to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or rules of the court relating to the production of records.
• If it was produced by an individual in the course of their employment, business, or profession and the collection is consistent with the purposes for which the information was produced.
• If the collection is solely for journalistic, artistic, or literary purposes.
• If the information is publicly available and specified by the regulations.
• We may disclose de-identified information for approved research or statistics projects, subject to ethics oversight and confidentiality commitments.

4. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?

In short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and with selected third parties.

We may need to share your personal information in the following situations:

• Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?

In short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, such as for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements. No purpose in this notice requires us to keep your personal information longer than the period during which you have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise it, or, if that is not possible, we will securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

6. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?

In short: We aim to protect your personal information through organisational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. You should use the Services only within a secure environment.

7. Do We Collect Information From Minors?

In short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age, or the equivalent age as specified by law in your jurisdiction.

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years of age, or the equivalent age in your jurisdiction, or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to that minor's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users under the applicable age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children, contact us at support@globalminingdataset.com.

8. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

In short: Depending on your location, including the EEA, UK, Switzerland, Canada, and some US states, you may have rights that give you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.

In some regions, including the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Canada, you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right to request access to and receive a copy of your personal information, request rectification or erasure, restrict processing, request data portability, and avoid being subject to automated decision-making where applicable. If a decision that produces legal or similarly significant effects is made solely by automated means, we will inform you, explain the main factors, and offer a simple way to request human review. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to our processing of your personal information. You can make such a request by using the contact details in How can you contact us about this notice?.

We will consider and act on any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If you are located in the EEA or UK and believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or the UK data protection authority.

If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Withdrawing your consent

If we rely on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express or implied depending on applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by using the contact details provided in How can you contact us about this notice?. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal or any processing based on lawful grounds other than consent.

9. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and applications include a Do-Not-Track feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognising and implementing Do-Not-Track signals has been finalised. As such, we do not currently respond to Do-Not-Track browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.

California law requires us to let you know how we respond to Do-Not-Track browser signals. Because there is currently no industry or legal standard for recognising or honouring those signals, we do not respond to them at this time.

10. Do United States Residents Have Specific Privacy Rights?

In short: If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have the right to request access to and receive details about the personal information we maintain about you and how we process it, correct inaccuracies, get a copy of, or delete your personal information.
