As a rule, we process the data of our website users only to the extent required to provide a functioning website along with its contents and services. The user data are processed pursuant to the legal bases and only for the purposes defined by us in advance.
HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd processes the data in compliance with the provisions of the GDPR.
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of data, Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (a) of the GDPR provides the legal basis.
Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (b) of the GDPR provides the legal basis for processing any data required to perform a contract to which the data subject is a party. It also serves as the basis for processing data required to implement pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (c) of the GDPR in conjunction with the national regulation pursuant to Art. 6(3) of the GDPR provides the legal basis.
If processing the data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the aforementioned interests, Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the data processing.
The data of the data subject are erased or the processing of the data is restricted as soon as the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. The data can be also be stored if such storage is provided for by European or national legislators in regulations, laws or other rules under Union law to which the data controller is subject. In addition, the data processing is restricted or the data are erased when the storage period stipulated under the aforementioned standards expires, unless a need exists to store the data for a longer period of time to conclude or perform a contract.
If your data are processed, then you are the data subject pursuant to the GDPR and you have the following rights with regard to the data controller:
You may request the data controller to confirm if we are processing any data relating to you.
If we are processing your data, you may request the following information from the data controller:
You are entitled to request information on whether your data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request notification regarding the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR in connection with such transfer.
If the processed data relating to you are incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to obtain from the data controller the rectification and/or completion of the data. The data controller must rectify the data without delay.
You may request the restriction of the processing of the data relating to you under the following conditions:
If the processing of these data relating to you is restricted, these data - with the exception of their storage - are permitted to be processed only with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend any legal claims or protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the processing of the data is restricted in accordance with the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.
You may demand that the data controller erase your data without delay, and the data controller is required to erase these data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:
If the data controller has made your data public and is required under Art. 17(1) of the GDPR to erase such data, then the data controller, taking account of the available technology and the cost of implementation, will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform data controllers responsible for processing the data that you, as the data subject, have requested the data controllers to erase all links, copies or replication of these data.
The right to erasure does not exist if it is necessary to process the data
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure of the data or restriction of the processing of the data to the data controller, the data controller is required to notify all the recipients to whom your data was disclosed of the rectification or erasure of the data or the restriction of the processing of the data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be notified of these recipients by the data controller.
You have the right to receive your data which you have provided to the data controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer these data to another data controller without hindrance from the data controller to whom the data were provided, insofar as
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of the data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller.
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of data relating to you which is based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (e) or (f) of the GDPR, including profiling based on these provisions.
The data controller no longer processes the data relating to you unless the data controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing the data which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing of the data serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data for the purposes of such marketing, including for profiling if it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing of the data for purposes of direct marketing, then your data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services - regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC - you have the option of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under the data privacy law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of the data based on the consent before it is withdrawn.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similarly negative manner. This does not apply if the decision
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to safeguard the rights, freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the first two alternatives, the data controller takes appropriate measures to safeguard rights, freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention from the data controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you or your workplace are located or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your data represents an infringement of the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall notify the complainant regarding the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 of the GDPR.
You have the option of preventing the actions that you perform here being analysed and linked. This will protect your privacy but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving the usability for you and other users.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If, after concluding a contract for which a fee applies, you are obliged to send us your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorisation), these data will be used for processing the payment.
Payment transactions using standard means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can identify an encrypted connection from the padlock icon in the address bar of your browser and the fact that the "http://" in your browser bar changes to "https://".

The information provided by the web tracker allows us to take effective countermeasures and protect the personal data we process from these cyber attacks. Activating IP anonymisation in the Google Analytics tracking code for this website causes Google Analytics to anonymise your IP address before it is transferred. This website uses a Google Analytics tracking code that includes the operator gat._anonymizeIp(); so that IP addresses can only be collected in anonymous form (IP masking).
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to incorporate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies into our website. Google Tag Manager does not create any user profiles itself, does not save any cookies and does not perform any independent analyses. Its only purpose is the management and utilisation of the tools that it has been used to incorporate. Google Tag Manager does, however, collect your IP address, which can also be sent to the parent company of Google in the United States.
The use of the Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in rapid and straightforward incorporation and management of various tools on its website. If corresponding consent has been asked for, the processing is performed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR; this consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data saved for this cookie as analysis values are generally the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the most recent impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marker indicating that the user would prefer not to be addressed in future).
You can object to the data processing at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways: a) by configuring a corresponding setting in your browser software (in particular, suppressing third-party cookies will stop you from receiving adverts from third-party providers); b) by deactivating your cookies for conversion tracking, by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although the setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although the setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) through permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please be aware, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all of the functions of this online service to their full extent.
Our social media presence
Data processing performed by social networks
We maintain publicly accessibly profiles in social networks. The individual social networks that we use are listed further below.
Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are generally able to analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or ad banners). When you visit our social media presences, numerous processing procedures are triggered that are relevant to data protection. In particular:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can link this visit to your user account. Your personal data may, however, under some circumstances also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the particular social media portal. In this case, the data collection is performed on the basis of cookies, for example, that are saved on your device or by your IP address being collected.
The operator of the social media portal can use the data thus collected to create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are saved. In this way, interest-based adverts can be displayed to you inside and outside of the particular social media presence. If you have an account with the social network in question, the interest-based adverts can be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.
Please also be aware that we are not aware of all the processing procedures that take place on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, it is possible that further processing procedures will be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details in this regard, please refer to the terms of use and the data protection provisions of the individual social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure that our presence online is as extensive as possible. This is a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on alternative legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Controller and assertion of rights
When you visit one of our social media presences (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing procedures initiated by this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaints) fundamentally both against us and against the operator of the social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).
Please bear in mind that, despite having joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have complete influence over the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options are substantially dependent on the corporate policy of the provider in question.
Storage duration
The data collected by us directly via the social media presence are erased from our systems as soon as you request their erasure, you withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Cookies that have been saved remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal data retention periods - in particular data retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the duration of storage of data saved by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details in this regard, please refer to the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy - see below).

HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd uses a YouTube channel that belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Please be aware that you make use of the YouTube channel offered here and its functions under your own responsibility. This applies in particular for the use of the "discussion" function. Information on what data Google processes and what purposes data are used for can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de#infocollect
HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd has no influence on the type or scope of the data processed by Google, the type of processing or use or the forwarding of these data to third parties. Accordingly, HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd also has no effective ways to monitor this. By using Google, your personal data are collected, transmitted, saved, disclosed and used by Google and thus sent, regardless of where you are domiciled, to the United States, Ireland or any other country where Google does business, and saved and used there. Data are transmitted to companies associated with Google and other trustworthy companies or persons commissioned with processing these data by Google. Google processes, on the one hand, data you have entered voluntarily, such as your name and username, e-mail address and phone number. Google also processes content that you create, upload or receive from others while using the services. This includes, for example, photos and videos that you save, documents and spreadsheets that you create and comments that you make on YouTube videos. On the other hand, Google also evaluates the content you have shared to ascertain what topics you are interested in, saves and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users and can determine your location on the basis of GPS data, information on your wireless network or your IP address in order to provide you with advertising and other content. For the evaluation, Google may use analytical tools such as Google Analytics. HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd has no influence on Google's use of such tools and has not been informed of such potential use. In the event of Google using such tools for HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd's YouTube channel, HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd has neither commissioned this nor supported it in any other way. The data obtained from the analysis are also not made available. HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd can only access certain data relating to the subscriber profiles via its account. Furthermore, HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd has no way of preventing or stopping the use of such tools on its YouTube channel. Ultimately, Google also receives information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created an account. These so-called "log data" may include the IP address, the browser type, the operating system, information on the previously visited website and the pages accessed by you, your location, your mobile phone provider, the device used by you (including device ID and application ID), the search terms you have used and cookie information. Options for limiting the processing of your data are available in the general settings of your Google account. In addition to these tools, Google also provides privacy settings specific to YouTube. More information in this regard is provided in Google's guide to data privacy in Google products: https://policies.google.com/technologies/product-privacy?hl=de&gl=de
More information on these points can be found in Google's privacy policy under "privacy settings": https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de#infochoices

When you communicate with us via YouTube, HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd also processes your data. The processing is carried out as part of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR).
The recipient of the data is initially Google, whereby the data may be forwarded to third parties for Google's own purposes and under Google's responsibility. The recipient of publications is also the general public, i.e. potentially anyone. HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd does not collect any data via its YouTube channel itself. Incorporating YouTube videos into our website does not cause the IP addresses of the website visitor to be sent to Google. In particular, no tracking is performed on the website. The data you have entered when using YouTube, in particular your username and the content published under your account, are only processed by us insofar as we may respond to your publications under "discussions". Doing so incorporates the data freely published on and disseminated by you on YouTube into HK Mining Solutions (Pty) Ltd's online offering and thus makes it accessible to its followers.
Google will store the data relevant to the provision of the web tracking for as long as necessary to fulfil the booked web service. The collection and storage of data is performed in an anonymised way. If the data are traceable to a particular person, the data will be erased without delay, provided that no statutory retention requirements apply. In any case, the data are erased after expiry of the retention requirement.
You can prevent your personal data (in particular your IP address) from being collected and forwarded to Google and processed by Google by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or activating your browser's "Do Not Track" setting. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the Google cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). The security and data protection policies of Google are available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
