Privacy Policy

Last updated 28 September 2026

This policy explains what personal information Monte Carlo Mining Club (MC²) collects through this website, why, and the choices you have. It applies to anyone who visits the site or sends a membership enquiry.

Who we are

This website is run by the Monte Carlo Mining Club (“MC²”, “we”), a not-for-profit association.

Registered office: 17 Avenue des Spélugues, 98000 Monaco

To reach us, use our contact page.

What we collect

When you send a membership enquiry, we collect:

• your full name, email address and phone number
• your company and your role (mine operator, investor, advisor or academic)
• the name of the person who introduced you, if you choose to give it

When you write to us through our contact page, we collect your name, email address, the subject you choose and your message.

We only collect what you type into these forms. We do not ask for identity documents or financial information through this website.

Why we use it

• To review your enquiry and reply to you. This is a step you ask us to take before any membership decision.
• To manage membership and invite members to our quarterly gatherings, if your enquiry is accepted.
• To keep the association's records and meet our obligations under Monaco law.

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who sees it

Enquiries are read by the Members Council. They arrive by email and are kept in our inbox.

We use a small number of service providers to run the site and deliver enquiries:

• Netlify, which hosts this website
• FormSubmit, which forwards the enquiry form to our inbox

We share members' names with event venues only to prepare guest lists.

Transfers outside Monaco

Some of our service providers store data outside Monaco, including in the United States. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards required by Monaco Law No. 1.565 of 3 December 2024 on the protection of personal data.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries that do not lead to membership: 12 months, then deleted.
• Members: for as long as you are a member.

Photographs at gatherings

We do not photograph our gatherings or publish attendee names.

Cookies and analytics

This site does not use advertising cookies. To display the page, your browser loads fonts from Google Fonts and a graphics library from Cloudflare's cdnjs, so those providers receive your IP address as part of the request.

We do not use analytics.

Your rights

Under Monaco law you can ask us to:

• give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• correct it if it is wrong
• delete it
• limit how we use it, or object to our using it
• send it to you or to someone else in a reusable format

To make a request, write to us through our contact page. We will reply within one month.

If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can complain to Monaco's data protection authority, the Autorité de Protection des Données Personnelles (APDP), Le Concorde, 11 rue du Gabian, 98000 Monaco, apdp.mc.
