Your choices

Account Information

You may update and correct certain account information at any time by contacting us at privacy@mineral.ai. If you wish to deactivate your account, please send your request to legal-notices@mineral.ai, but note that we may retain certain information as required by law or for our legitimate business purposes.

Cookies

Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually adjust your browser settings to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that removing or rejecting cookies could affect the availability and functionality of our Services.

Communications Preferences

You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from Mineral by following the instructions in those communications. If you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about our ongoing business relations.

Data retention

We store personal data associated with your account for as long as your account remains active. If you close your account, we will delete your account data within 90 days or upon your request. We store other personal data for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other business purposes explained in this Privacy Policy.

Transfer of information to other countries

Mineral is headquartered in the United States and we have operations and vendors in the United States and other countries. Therefore, we and those that perform work for us may transfer your personal information to, or store or access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide levels of data protection that are equivalent to those of your home jurisdiction. Where required by law, we provide adequate protection for the transfer of personal data in accordance with applicable law, such as by relying on the European Commission’s adequacy decisions, or executing Standard Contractual Clauses. Where relevant, you may request a copy of these Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us at privacy@mineral.ai.

Additional information for California residents

Some US state privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) require specific disclosures for state residents. If you reside in California, this section applies to you.

• We do not “share” your personal information as that term is defined in the CCPA.

• We do not process “sensitive personal information” (as that term is defined in the CCPA) for purposes other than the permitted purposes identified in the CCPA regulations.

• We retain personal information about you for as long as necessary to carry out the purposes for which we originally collected it and for other business purposes explained in this Privacy Policy.

• We may also de-identify personal information about you so that the information can no longer be linked to you. When we de-identify personal information, we maintain policies and technical measures to avoid re-identifying that information .

State laws like the CCPA also provide the right to request information about how we collect, use, and disclose your information. And they give you the right to access and correct your information, and to request that we delete that information. Finally, the CCPA provides the right to not be discriminated against for exercising these privacy rights.

You can submit a request by contacting us at privacy@mineral.ai. We will verify your request by asking you to provide information that matches information we have on file about you. You can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on your behalf, but we will require proof that the person is authorized to act on your behalf and may also still ask you to verify your identity with us directly. If you have questions or requests related to your rights under the CCPA, or if you want to exercise a right to appeal a decision we made on your request, you (or your authorized agent) can also contact us at privacy@mineral.ai.

The CCPA also requires a description of data practices using specific categories. This table uses these categories to organize the information in this Privacy Policy:

Additional information for individuals in Europe

• To comply with our legal obligations (e.g., to maintain a record of your consents and track those who have opted out of marketing communications).

• When we have your consent to do so (e.g., when you opt in to receive marketing communications from us). When consent is the legal basis for our processing your personal data, you may withdraw such consent at any time.
