Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 7, 2026 Website: https://zinzamineralssolutions.ca
This Privacy Policy outlines how Zinza Minerals Solutions collects, uses, and protects the data of participants within our “Safe Basket” ecosystem. As a platform built on compliance-by-design principles, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and privacy for miners, buyers, and agents operating in the global commodities market.
1. Introduction
Zinza Minerals Solutions (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides a blockchain-backed trust and verification platform. Our core mission is to eliminate the trust deficit in mineral trading through rigorous KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screening. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our services, including our AI-SAMA™ security agents and BC-Link™ blockchain infrastructure.
2. Information We Collect
To establish an Authoritative Verification Baseline, we collect several categories of information:
- Identity & Business Evidence: Full name, government-issued identification, mining licenses, export permits, and business registration documents.
- Financial Capability Data: Proof-of-Funds (POF), Letter of Credit (LC) related evidence, and banking details required for financial vetting.
- Operational Data: Mineral asset details, proven reserves reports, and supply chain provenance data.
- Technical Data: IP addresses, device identifiers, and platform usage metrics collected for security monitoring and fraud detection.
3. How We Use Your Information
We process your data primarily to facilitate “deal-ready” transactions and maintain the security of our network:
- Verification & Vetting: Our AI-SAMA™ agents use your data to distinguish between verifiable and non-verifiable documentation to filter out fraudulent actors.
- Audit Trail Generation: Critical transaction steps and approvals are recorded as time-stamped, tamper-resistant logs on the BC-Link™ blockchain.
- Compliance Monitoring: We perform ongoing sanction list screening and AML transaction monitoring to meet international regulatory standards.
- Reputation Scoring: We calculate verifiable trust scores for participants based on their transaction history and verification status.
4. Data Storage and Security
We employ a Zero-Trust Architecture to protect your sensitive information:
- Blockchain Integrity: While actual documents are stored off-chain in encrypted environments, their cryptographic hashes are recorded on the BC-Link™ blockchain to ensure they cannot be altered.
- Encryption: All sensitive files are encrypted at rest and in transit using enterprise-grade protocols.
- Access Control: We use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to ensure only authorized participants can access specific deal data.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share information with:
- Verified Counterparties: Only after you have entered a “Safe Basket” deal workflow with a specific buyer or seller.
- Financial Institutions: To facilitate the validation of Letters of Credit or other financial instruments.
- Regulatory Bodies: When required to satisfy legal obligations or compliance reporting.
- Service Providers: Including our technology partner HCISS, and third-party KYC/AML providers (e.g., Onfido, Sumsub).
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data. Please note that due to the immutable nature of blockchain technology, certain transaction logs and audit trails cannot be deleted once they are anchored to the BC-Link™ network.
