1. Who is responsible
This website is operated by Black & Yellow Minerals SARL, 40, av. Ngangwele, Q/17 Mai, Kinshasa, DRC (“BYM”, “we”). Black & Yellow Minerals Corp., Ontario, Canada, is BYM’s Canadian corporation and may receive correspondence addressed to international partners. Questions about this notice go to info@blackyellowminerals.com.
2. What the website collects
Very little. The website is published as static pages. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics or tracking scripts, has no user accounts and does not embed third-party advertising or social media. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.
Like any website, it is delivered by a hosting provider whose servers may keep standard technical logs (the address a request came from, the page requested, the time, the browser type) for the purpose of operating and securing the service. BYM does not use these logs to identify or profile visitors.
3. The contact form
The enquiry form on the contact page does not send anything to BYM’s servers. It prepares a draft email in your own mail application, addressed to BYM, with the subject and message you typed. Nothing is transmitted until you choose to send that email from your own account, and nothing you type into the form is stored by the website.
4. Emails you send to BYM
When you write to info@blackyellowminerals.com or another BYM address, we receive your email address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message. We use this information to answer your enquiry and, where you ask about partnership, investment, employment or media matters, to continue that correspondence. It is seen only by the people at BYM who need to handle it.
We do not sell or rent your details. We share them only where you ask us to, where a professional adviser needs them to act for BYM, or where the law requires it. Correspondence is kept for as long as the matter it relates to is open and for a reasonable period afterwards, then deleted.
5. Offline storage on your device
In production, the website registers a small service worker in your browser. It keeps copies of pages and images you have already visited on your own device so that they can be shown if your connection drops. This cache stays in your browser, is not sent to BYM, and can be cleared at any time through your browser’s site-data settings.
6. Links to other sites
Some pages link to external websites, such as the webmail used by BYM staff or the sites of public institutions. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which BYM does not control.
7. Your rights
You can ask what personal data BYM holds about you from your correspondence, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or ask us to stop writing to you. Write to info@blackyellowminerals.com and we will respond within a reasonable time. Where the laws of the Democratic Republic of Congo or of your own country give you further rights, those apply.
8. Changes
If the website starts to collect anything beyond what is described here, this notice will be updated first and the date at the top of the page will change.
