Privacy Policy

Last Updated [24/05/2026]

1. Who We Are & Contact Details

The data controller responsible for your personal data is the individual operator of Nodemine, a personal hobby project based in the United Kingdom. Nodemine is not a registered company.

For any privacy-related queries, requests, or complaints, please contact us at: [email protected]

2. What Data We Collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal data:

a. Account Information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and any other details you provide to create and manage your account.

b. Billing Information: Where you purchase a service, we collect billing details necessary to process payment. Card details are handled directly by our third-party payment processors and are not stored by us.

c. Technical & Usage Data: We may collect IP addresses, log files, server configuration data, and usage statistics for the purpose of operating, monitoring, and improving our services.

d. Communications: If you contact us by email or otherwise, we will retain a record of that correspondence.

We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has provided us with their data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following:

a. Contract performance — processing necessary to provide the services you have signed up for, including account management, billing, and technical support.

b. Legitimate interests — processing necessary for the security of our systems, fraud prevention, service improvement, and communicating with you about your account.

c. Legal obligation — where we are required to process or disclose data to comply with applicable law.

d. Consent — for optional marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting [email protected] or using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.

4. How We Use Your Data

a. To create and manage your account and provide the services you have requested.

b. To process payments and maintain billing records.

c. To monitor service performance, troubleshoot technical issues, and improve the platform.

d. To send you essential service communications such as billing notices, maintenance alerts, and policy updates. You cannot opt out of these while you hold an active account.

e. To send you optional marketing communications about new features or offers, where you have consented to receive them.

f. To comply with any legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from authorities.

5. Data Sharing & Third Parties

a. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes.

b. We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform, such as payment processors and server infrastructure providers. These providers are only given access to data necessary to perform their specific function and are required to handle it securely.

c. We may disclose your data where required to do so by law, court order, or at the request of a regulatory or law enforcement authority.

d. Third-party providers we use may be based outside the UK. Where data is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection is in place in accordance with UK GDPR requirements.

6. Data Security

a. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure.

b. As a hobby project operated by a single individual, you should be aware that our security capabilities may be more limited than those of a commercial provider. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

c. In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and, where required, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) without undue delay.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to support the operation of our website and services (for example, to keep you logged in or remember your preferences). We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect the functionality of our services.

8. Data Retention

a. We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law (for example, retaining billing records for tax purposes).

b. When your account is closed, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.

c. You may request deletion of your data at any time (see Section 9). Please note that some data may need to be retained even after a deletion request to comply with legal obligations.

9. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the following rights regarding your personal data. To exercise any of them, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one calendar month.

a. Right of access — you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

b. Right to rectification — you may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

c. Right to erasure — you may ask us to delete your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue processing it. Deletion requests are processed within approximately 2 weeks.

d. Right to restrict processing — you may ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

e. Right to data portability — you may request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

f. Right to object — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

g. Right to withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
