Privacy Policy

YouMine (“we”, “us”) operates a platform connecting mining industry clients with consultants and contractors. Contact: info@YouMine.com.au.

This policy covers personal data processed when you browse our site, create an account, manage a consultant profile, browse consultants, or contact a consultant via our form.

• Data you provide: account details (name, email), profile content (company info, services, location, links), enquiries sent to consultants (subject, message, contact details).
• Data collected automatically: device info, IP address, approximate location, pages viewed, timestamps, basic event logs; cookies/identifiers for session continuity.
• Data from third parties: if you connect Google Places (e.g., Place ID), we may fetch public business details to display on your profile.

• Provide and improve the platform, listings, search, filters, and contact flows.
• Authenticate users, secure accounts, and prevent abuse or fraud.
• Send essential service emails (e.g., enquiry notifications to consultants).
• Understand usage to improve performance and features.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

• Contract: to operate your account and deliver requested features.
• Legitimate interests: platform security, basic analytics, improving the service.
• Consent: optional cookies or marketing (if/when used), which you can withdraw.
• Legal obligation: to meet compliance or law enforcement requests where applicable.

We use essential cookies for authentication and session continuity. We may use preference and performance cookies to enhance UX. If we add non‑essential tracking, we’ll provide controls to manage consent.

• Supabase: authentication and database services; may log basic request metadata to ensure reliability and security.
• Email delivery (e.g., Postmark): used to send consultant enquiry notifications. We prefer minimal tracking; if open/click tracking is enabled, it’s for reliability and deliverability monitoring.
• Google services (e.g., Maps/Places) if you provide a Place ID to display public business info.

• Service providers processing data under contract (hosting, auth, email, analytics). We require appropriate confidentiality and security commitments.
• Legal or safety reasons (e.g., to comply with law, enforce Terms, protect users or the Service).
• No sale of personal data.

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, and as required by law. You can request deletion of your account or certain data, subject to legal and safety constraints.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No system can be 100% secure; please use strong, unique passwords and keep them confidential.

• Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, object to or restrict processing, and withdraw consent.
• To exercise rights, contact info@YouMine.com.au. We may need to verify your identity.

YouMine is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us to request deletion.

We may process data in countries outside your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms (e.g., contractual safeguards) to protect personal data during transfers.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We’ll post updates here and adjust the “Last updated” date.
