  1. Introduction.

Calibre Mining Corp. (“Calibre”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) has established this Privacy Policy to explain how it collects, uses, and discloses your personal information in connection with your access to and use of our website: www.calibremining.com as well as the services and communications that are made available through our website.

By accessing or using our website or the services that are available through our website, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. You can withdraw your consent to our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information at any time by contacting our Privacy Officer as directed below; however, if you choose to withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide you with access to or use of the website or certain of our services and communications. Please do not register with our website if you do not accept and consent to this Privacy Policy.

  1. Changes to this Privacy Policy.

Calibre may occasionally update this Privacy Policy and will post the updated Privacy Policy on our website. If we make any material changes, we will notify you as required by law, but we encourage you to check back often for updates. Your continued use of the website or our services after an update or amendment to this Privacy Policy means that you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in the updated Privacy Policy.

  1. What information do we collect?

Personal Information
We collect and maintain different types of personal information in respect of the individuals with whom we interact. This personal information may include, but is not limited to:

  • contact and identification information, such as your name, email address, home address, work address, phone number, and IP address;
  • personal information that is related to your employment or resume, including any personal information that you include in an employment application or inquiry that you submit to us through the website; and
  • personal information that you choose to include in any communication or feedback that you provide to us.

Other Information
We also collect the following non-personal information in connection with your access to and use of our website: information about your computer hardware and software (e.g., operating system, browser type, domain name, URL, access times, and referring web site addresses).

  1. How do we collect personal information?

As a general rule, Calibre collects personal information directly from you. For example, we collect your personal information when you sign up for our newsletter or otherwise choose to communicate with us through the website. In other circumstances where the personal information we collect from you is held by a third party, we will obtain your permission before we collect this information from the third party (such permission may be given directly by you or implied by your actions). We will use appropriate contractual means to ensure that the third parties that provide us with personal information are permitted to do so under applicable law.

  1. Our purposes for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information.

Calibre may collect, use, and disclose personal information for the following identified purposes (the “Identified Purposes”):

  • To establish, maintain and manage our relationship with you.
  • To understand individual needs regarding Calibre’s services.
  • To fulfill your requests for information about products and services.
  • To communicate with individuals and site visitors, when necessary, and to inform them of upgrades, as well as of other products and services available from Calibre, its affiliates and third parties.
  • To allow individuals to access limited-entry areas of Calibre’s website.
  • To personalize some of our products and services for you and to deliver targeted content from Calibre and third parties for which you have subscribed or we are otherwise permitted to send to you under applicable law.
  • To comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or government request.
  • To respond to a legitimate claim, or to address our reasonable belief, that you are violating the rights of any third party or any of the agreements or policies that govern your use of the Calibre website or any Calibre product or service.
  • To protect the services, products or rights of Calibre including, but not limited to, the security or integrity of the Calibre website.
  • To identify and resolve technical problems concerning Calibre’s website, products and services.

Calibre limits its collection of personal information to only that information which is necessary for the Identified Purposes. If we hire other companies to provide some products or services on our behalf, then we will only provide those companies the personal information they need for the Identified Purposes, and we will limit their rights to use and further disclose your personal information as appropriate in the course of their work for us. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

By consenting to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information through our website, you allow us to fulfill the purposes for which we collect your personal information. When we collect your personal information for research, statistical, and development purposes, we ensure that any information used for our analysis and reports will be de-identified and aggregated in a manner that will not identify you. This de-identified information may be disclosed to third parties.

  1. Marketing and transactional communications.

We will collect your express consent prior to sending you any marketing communications, unless an exception to obtaining your opt-in consent applies under Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL). You will have the opportunity to opt-out of receiving marketing communications at any time. For clarity, by using and accessing our website, you agree to receive transactional communications about your account and activities on or in connection with the website. For example, if you send us an inquiry, we will respond to the inquiry using the contact information that you provided to us.

  1. Cookies.

When you visit the Calibre website, a cookie may be placed on your computer, or the cookie may be read if you have visited the Calibre website previously. Calibre uses cookies to allow the organization to determine which products and services you have already visited so that it does not provide redundant information to you.

  1. Disclosure of your personal information.

We may disclose your personal information for the Identified Purposes and in the circumstances set out below:

  • To Affiliates, Employees, and Service Providers. We may disclose your personal information to our affiliates and our respective employees, contractors, consultants, service providers, and other parties who require such information to assist us with managing our relationship with you, including third parties that provide services to us or on our behalf. For example, we use third-party service providers to assist us with our marketing and advertising activities and communications. These third-party service providers may send you communications on our behalf.
  • For Business Transactions. Personal information may also be disclosed or transferred to another party during the course of, or upon completion of, a change in ownership of, or the grant of a security interest in, all or a part of Calibre or its affiliates through, for example, an asset or share sale or some other form of business combination, merger, or joint venture, provided that such party is bound by appropriate agreements or obligations and required to use or disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the use and disclosure provisions of this Privacy Policy, unless you consent otherwise.
  • For Legal Requirements. Your personal information may also be disclosed:
    • as permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements;
    • to comply with valid legal processes, such as search warrants, subpoenas, or court orders;
    • as part of our regular reporting activities under applicable law to protect the rights and property of Calibre;
    • during emergency situations or where necessary to protect the safety of a person or group of persons; and
    • for any additional purposes for which we have obtained your consent to disclose your personal information.

Since we may disclose your personal information to third parties, as described in this Privacy Policy, your personal information may be collected, used, or disclosed outside of your jurisdiction of residence, including in Canada. As such, your personal information may potentially be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities of another jurisdiction where local laws provide for a different level of protection for personal information. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security agencies in those other countries may be entitled to access your personal information.

If you would like further information about our policies and practices regarding the third parties (including our service providers) with whom we disclose your personal information and how these third parties collect, use, disclose, and store personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer using the contact details below.

By providing your personal information to us, you consent to our disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy, including to third parties that may be located outside of your jurisdiction of residence.

  1. Retention of your personal information.

We do not keep your personal information forever. We keep your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary for us to complete our dealings with you, or as may be required or permitted by applicable law, whichever is longer. For example, after your account becomes inactive (that is, if you request to be removed from our database), Calibre will only keep your personal information in its archives as reasonably necessary for Calibre’s compliance with any applicable law (e.g., tax purposes).

  1. Accuracy and protection of personal information.

Calibre will use reasonable efforts to keep your personal information accurate for the Identified Purposes, and for minimizing the possibility of making unlawful decisions based on such information. You are responsible for informing Calibre about changes to your personal information. Calibre will use new or updated personal information it receives from you to update its own records.
Calibre will use commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative measures to protect your personal information. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted via the Internet. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.

  1. Access to personal information.

Calibre will afford you a reasonable opportunity to review the personal information in your file, if you so request by writing to:

Calibre Mining Corp.
Suite 1560 - 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 3L6
Attention: Privacy Officer
Email: calibre@calibremining.com

If Calibre is not able to provide access to some aspect of your personal information, it will provide reasons for denying access such as: that by doing so would likely reveal personal information about a third party, or that it is confidential commercial information or attorney-client privileged communications, or that the information relates to a breach of an agreement or a contravention of law, or that its disclosure could reasonably be expected to threaten the life or security of another individual.

You have the right to request that inaccurate or incomplete information be amended as appropriate, by contacting Calibre as described above.

Calibre does not direct its site to, nor does it knowingly collect any personal information from, persons under the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence. If you believe that we have collected the personal information of a minor, please let us know.

  1. Obtaining and withdrawing consent.

It is important to us that we collect, use, and disclose your personal information only when we have your consent to do so. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, your consent may be implied, deemed (using an opt-out mechanism), or express. We may collect, use, and disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required to do so by applicable law or regulatory requirements.

Typically, we will seek your consent at the time that we collect your personal information. In certain circumstances, your consent may be obtained after collection but prior to our use or disclosure of your personal information. If we plan to use or disclose your personal information for a purpose not previously identified (either in this Privacy Policy or separately), we will endeavour to advise you of that purpose before such use or disclosure.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual obligations and reasonable notice, by contacting our Privacy Officer using the contact information set out below. All communications with respect to such withdrawal or variation of consent should be in writing and addressed to our Privacy Officer. If you withdraw or vary your consent, we may not be able to provide you with the communications and/or services you request. For example, if you would like to receive our communications, but are not willing to provide your email address, we will not be able to fulfill your request.

  1. Links to third party websites.

Our website may contain links to other websites that may be subject to less stringent privacy standards. These links are provided for your convenience only, and you assume all risk for clicking these links to other websites. We cannot assume any responsibility for the privacy practices, policies, or actions of the third parties that operate these websites. Calibre is not responsible for how such third parties collect, use, or disclose your personal information. You should review the privacy policies of these websites before providing them with personal information.

  1. Interpretation of this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not create or confer upon any individual any rights or impose upon Calibre any rights or obligations outside of, or in addition to, any rights or obligations imposed by Canada’s federal and provincial privacy laws, as applicable. Should there be, in a specific case, any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and Canada’s federal or provincial privacy laws, as applicable, this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted, in respect of that case, to give effect to, and comply with, such privacy laws.

  1. Contact information.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or concerns about how we manage your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer in writing or by email. We will endeavour to answer your questions and advise you of any steps taken to address the issues raised by you. If you are dissatisfied with our response, you may be entitled to make a written submission to the Privacy Commissioner in your jurisdiction. We have appointed a Privacy Officer to oversee compliance with this Privacy Policy. The contact information for our Privacy Officer is as follows:
