4 Security, Quality and Accuracy of information

Mining Plus endeavours to keep personal information up to date and accurate. We will also endeavour to protect that information from misuse, loss or unauthorised access. If you request information from us we will need to establish and verify your identity before we can disclose information to you.

In relation to information that you send to use via the Site or by email, please note that the Site is linked to the internet, which is inherently insecure. Accordingly, Mining Plus cannot provide any definitive assurance regarding security of the information. Whilst we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Mining Plus will not be liable in any way in relation to any breach of security or unintended loss or disclosure of information due to the Site being linked to the internet.

5 Anonymity

You are not obliged to provide us with your personal information. However, if you do not supply us with your personal information, we may be unable to communicate with you, process your employment application, offer you employment or otherwise respond to your queries.

6 Marketing and promotion communications

Mining Plus may use the personal information provided to send information and newsletters (both electronic and hardcopy) outlining news, services or events. You may opt out of receiving any such communications from us at any time. If you wish to do this, please make all requests in writing addressed to Mining Plus’s Managing Director via the “Contact Us” details shown on the website. Please indicate on your request whether you wish to opt out of either, or both, postal and electronic marketing communications.
