A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Some parts of our website use cookies to gather information about user browsing sessions so that we can analyse how our websites are used in order to make improvements to them, to personalise your browsing experience (including by offering you tailored help within a browsing session), or to serve advertising.

Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names, IP addresses, browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, user journey / path analysis, abandon rates, conversion rates, and dates and times that our site is accessed. We may also record and watch user browsing sessions on our websites to understand how our websites are used. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our website and your online experience.

Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Data

Our Website operates globally, which means that we may transfer your personal data to countries outside of your own. Such countries may have data protection laws that are different from those in your home country. We will not transfer Personal Data to a country or territory that does not ensure an adequate level of protection for processing personal data, unless we first receive your express consent. By using our Website and providing us with your Personal Data, you hereby consent to the processing of your Personal Data in the United States, British Virgin Islands, and Australia.

When we transfer your Personal Data to another country, we take measures to ensure that your data is protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws. These measures may include:

Obtaining your consent for the transfer;
Entering into standard contractual clauses with the recipient of the data;
Ensuring that the recipient is certified under an approved data protection scheme, such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield or the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield;
Ensuring that the recipient is located in a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission or other relevant authority;
Implementing other appropriate safeguards to protect your Personal Data.

We process your Personal Data for, or based on, one or more of the following legal bases:

Your Consent. When you opt-in to receive our marketing and promotional materials, we process your Personal Data to send messages to you about us and about our business. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Performance of a Contract. We may use your Personal Data to enter into, or perform under, the agreement between us and you or the business with which you are associated.
Legitimate Interests. We may use your Personal Data for our legitimate interests, including improving our website; providing information about our business; preventing and detecting fraud; ensuring network and information security; and for administrative and legal compliance purposes.
Compliance with Legal Obligations and Protection of Individuals. We may use your Personal Data to comply with the law and our legal obligations, as well as to protect you and other individuals from certain harms.

Residents of California Have Additional Rights

A) Shine the Light | California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers of Critical Metals who are California residents to request certain information regarding and/or opt-out of our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please write to us at the following address:

Critical Metals Corp.
712 Fifth Avenue, 11th Floor
New York, New York 10019

B) California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”): California residents may request copies of the data collected about them in the past 12 months through the process described directly above. The following portions of this subsection describe the categories of personal information we collect, our methods of collection, the business or commercial purpose for collection, and categories of third parties we disclose information to. You can download a copy of this policy any time by printing/saving this webpage as a PDF. You may submit a request for access or deletion of your personal information through an authorised agent by following the process described in the preceding subsection above; however, we will require you to verify your own identity.

Based on the CCPA’s broad definition of “sale,” data collected on our sites and applications by third parties for purposes of interest-based advertising and social media tools may be a “sale” under the CCPA, with the exception that data is not currently collected for these purposes on our website. We offer all consumers the ability to opt out of the sale of their personal information that is available to California residents under the CCPA. You or an authorised agent acting on your behalf can also send your request to opt out to us at the address in subsection A above.

Residents of the UK and EU Member States Have Additional Rights

Residents of the UK and the EU may have additional rights, by way of the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.

A) Bases on Which We Rely to Process Your Information

The type of lawful basis on which we rely to process your information is known as the “legitimate interest” basis. This means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to provide our services and give you the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your Personal Data for activities in which our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

We may also process your information while performing a contract (i.e., processing your data when it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract) and to comply with a legal obligation (i.e., this means processing your Personal Data when it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject).

B) Your Legal Rights

You have the right to:

Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to correct any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us to continue to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see next paragraph), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object when we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data in the following scenarios:
(a) If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
(b) Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
(c) Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
(d) You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
Again, you have a right to request a copy of your data (to review and update it), as well as the right to have your data deleted. You also have the right to withdraw your consent to mailings/notifications at any time, by clicking the link in our email footer, or by contacting us at info@criticalmetalscorp.com.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally, it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Data (or to exercise any of the other rights). We may charge a reasonable fee, however, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes to the policy.
