Privacy Policy & Data Protection Notice

Scope & Commitment to Discretion

Minerva Global Consulting ("MGC", "we", "us", or "our") provides geopolitical risk intelligence, subnational security corridor evaluations, and strategic advisory services to institutional investors, mining operators, and sovereign entities.

Because our clients operate in high-friction jurisdictions involving sensitive commercial decisions, concessions, and asset exposures, we maintain an uncompromising standard of operational discretion. This policy outlines how we collect, process, safeguard, and retain information transmitted through our website.

Information We Collect and Receive

We strictly limit data collection to information necessary to evaluate advisory inquiries, deliver requested intelligence briefs, and defend our infrastructure:

• Confidential Briefing Inquiries: When you submit a briefing or consultation request, we collect your full name, corporate email address, organization, professional role, advisory area of interest, target jurisdiction, and your inquiry message.
• Minerva Vantage MVP Candidate Registration: When you register interest in the forthcoming Minerva Vantage platform, we collect your corporate contact details, organization, role, and stated mineral/corridor preferences.
• Technical Security & Anti-Abuse Telemetry: To defend public submission endpoints against automated spam scripts and adversarial scraping, our servers evaluate form interaction timing metrics and client validation tokens. Telemetry is not linked to marketing profiling databases.

Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on your location and the nature of your interaction, we process personal information under the following lawful bases:

• Pre-Contractual Steps (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)): Processing briefing and report requests to evaluate engagement scope, establish non-disclosure protocols, and deliver preliminary consultations at your request.
• Affirmative Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)): Required prior to sending updates regarding the Minerva Vantage platform or research dispatches. Consent is freely given and can be withdrawn at any time.
• Legitimate Interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)): Protecting website integrity, detecting bot activity, and preventing duplicate submissions.

Third-Party Disclosures & Zero Monetization

Minerva Global Consulting does not sell, lease, rent, trade, or monetize personal or corporate contact data to data brokers, advertising networks, or commercial aggregators.

Data is shared only with trusted technical infrastructure providers (such as secure hosting environments and transactional email delivery networks bound by strict confidentiality agreements), or when required by binding legal order or court subpoena.

Cookies & Local Storage Controls (GDPR)

Our website utilizes minimal technical elements:

• Strictly Necessary Technical Elements: Managing accessible navigation drawer states, anti-spam tokens, GDPR consent preferences, and responsive interface settings. These do not track browsing across external sites.
• Zero Invasive Ad Pixels: We do not deploy third-party advertising pixels, cross-site trackers, or behavioral profiling cookies.
• Consent Management: You can review or adjust your cookie consent settings at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.

Data Retention & Security Architecture

We retain client inquiries only for as long as necessary to evaluate engagement scope or fulfill regulatory record-keeping obligations. All web traffic is transmitted via TLS 1.3 encryption. Internal access to inquiry submissions is restricted to authorized partners and executive advisors on a need-to-know basis.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR, UK GDPR, and UAE Personal Data Protection Law), you have enforceable rights regarding your personal information:

• Right of Access: Request confirmation and a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete corporate contact data.
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your data when it is no longer required for the purpose collected.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing info@minerva-link.com.
