Privacy policy

OreBridge is based in Windhoek, Namibia and is responsible for the personal information described here. Contact us about privacy at info@orebridge.africa.

When you create an account we collect your name, email address, phone number, country and (if you provide it) your company, and your role and interests, such as the commodities, countries, deal types and deal sizes you care about. If you list a project we collect the details you submit about it, including licence information, location, stage and deal preferences. If you contact us we keep a record of your message.

We use your information to verify listings against the Ministry of Mines and Energy cadastre, to present projects to matching investors, to make and manage introductions, to invoice membership fees and success fees, and to keep the platform safe. We do not sell your information, and we do not use it to advertise third-party products to you.

Holder contact details are never published on listings. Public project pages show project information only. Your name, email and phone number are shared with another member only when you accept an introduction, and only with that member.

You can ask us to delete your account and personal information at any time by contacting the team. We will remove your listings and personal details, except where we are required to keep records, for example for invoicing, tax or legal obligations, or where a deal is in progress under a signed introduction.

We use no analytics and no advertising or third-party tracking. Your browser stores only what is essential: a session entry so you stay signed in, and your preferred light or dark theme. The functions run on Macaly hosting with a Convex database. Our opt-in AI helpers (smart search and the listing text helper) send the text you type to an AI provider that processes it for us.

Payments are processed by Stripe (card payments in NAD). Account emails, verification codes, password resets and notification emails are delivered through our email sending providers (Resend, with a platform fallback provider). The site and database run on Macaly hosting and Convex. These providers act as processors for the functions described above.

OreBridge stores data in Ireland (Convex, Macaly), and our payment and email providers (Stripe, Resend) may process data outside Africa, in the United States and the European Union. Where they do, they apply their own safeguards, published in their privacy terms.

Account and profile data are kept while your membership is active. Payment records are kept for accounting and tax purposes. Introduction records needed for the 24-month success-fee window are kept for at least that long. Everything else is deleted when you ask us.

Email info@orebridge.africa to request deletion of your account and data, a correction, or an export of the information we hold about you, and we will respond within two working days.

Passwords are stored only as secure hashes, all traffic to the site is encrypted, and card details are entered directly with Stripe: OreBridge never sees or stores your card number. Access to member data is limited to the OreBridge team.

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and email members about material changes.
