Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

MineOps ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use the MineOps mobile application and platform services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

Account information

Name, email address, job title, and role assigned by your organisation administrator.

Operational data

Daily production entries, shift reports, equipment hours, and work area declarations entered during normal platform use.

Safety records

HIRA assessments, incident reports, toolbox talk logs, and pre-trip inspection records.

Device information

Device type and operating system version for technical support purposes.

Usage data

Login timestamps and feature usage for platform performance monitoring.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to provide and operate the MineOps platform services; to enable approval workflows and operational reporting; to maintain safety and compliance records as required by mining regulations; to generate shift reports, weekly reports, and KPI dashboards; to provide technical support and resolve issues; and to improve platform performance and user experience.

3. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the United States. We implement industry-standard security measures including:

HTTPS encryption for all data in transit; encrypted database storage using AWS RDS; role-based access control, so users only access data relevant to their assigned role; authentication via AWS Cognito with secure token management; and regular automated database backups.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Data may be shared only in the following circumstances: with your organisation's authorised administrators and managers as part of normal platform operation; with AWS as our cloud infrastructure provider, subject to their privacy and security standards; and when required by law, regulation, or legal process.

5. Access Control

The MineOps platform is a closed, invitation-only system. Access is granted exclusively by your organisation administrator. Users cannot self-register. Each user is assigned a specific role that determines what data they can view and what actions they can perform.

6. Data Retention

Operational data is retained for the duration of your organisation's active subscription. Upon termination of services, data is retained for 90 days before permanent deletion, unless longer retention is required by applicable mining regulations or legal obligations.

7. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to: access the personal information we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion of your account and associated data; and object to processing of your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact your organisation administrator or reach us directly using the contact details below.

8. Children's Privacy

MineOps is a professional platform intended for use by adults in the mining industry. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under 18 years of age.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes via the platform or email. Continued use of MineOps after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
