I. Introduction

American Basin Research, LLC, dba MINERALS4.CASH ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning that information in compliance with applicable laws, including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA). By using our Site or Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

II. Information We Collect

We collect various types of personal information to provide and improve our Services, which fall into the following categories:

• Personal Information You Provide Directly: This includes identity and contact data (full name, email, phone number, address); information about the mineral rights you wish to sell; and financial documentation, most notably copies of recent revenue statements or pay stubs. These documents are essential for our valuation process. We also collect transactional information, such as bank account details, necessary to complete a purchase, which is processed through our secure payment partner.
• Information Collected Automatically: When you visit our Site, we automatically collect technical data like your IP address, browser type, and usage data (pages visited, time spent on pages). This is done through cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and analyze the Site.
• Information from Third Parties: We may obtain information from public records as part of our title verification process. For marketing, we may process contact information obtained from third-party mailing list providers to send direct mail offers.

III. Our Stance on Sensitive Data

We do not intentionally collect or process "sensitive personal information" as defined by the TDPSA. Our services are not designed to gather information about race, religion, health, sexuality, or citizenship status. Financial documents you provide are used solely for mineral rights valuation. We strongly encourage you to redact (black out) any unnecessary personal information (like Social Security Numbers or full bank account numbers) from documents before you submit them to us.

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers. We share your personal information only in the limited circumstances described below:

• With Third-Party Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party companies for essential functions like web hosting, payment processing, electronic document execution, and customer communications. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it to perform services on our behalf.
• For Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process.
