Mine legal
Mine Brand Platform Terms
These terms govern access to and use of Mine’s brand platform, including audiences, insights, billing and account responsibilities.
1. About these Terms
1.1 These Brand Platform Terms (Terms) form an agreement between:
(a) Mine Technologies Pty Ltd (ABN 24 693 393 127, ACN 693 393 127) (Mine, we, us or our); and
(b) the organisation identified when the brand account is created (Brand, you or your).
1.2 If you create or use a Brand account on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
1.3 These Terms govern the Brand’s access to and use of Mine’s website, brand dashboard, audience-management tools, billing functions, Commerce Integrations, Audience Insights, Commerce Insights and related services (Platform).
1.4 By creating a Brand account, selecting the acceptance box or continuing to use the Platform after being notified of an updated version, the Brand agrees to these Terms.
1.5 Mine’s Privacy Policy explains how Mine handles personal information, including information about Brand Representatives, Mine members and Store Customers whose Purchase Data is supplied through a Commerce Integration.
1.6 Some Commerce Integrations may also be subject to a Data Processing Schedule, provider terms, displayed permissions or other feature-specific terms. Those documents form part of the agreement where the Brand accepts them or uses the relevant feature.
1.7 Marketing consent is separate from acceptance of these Terms. A Brand Representative does not need to agree to optional marketing communications to create or use a Brand account.
2. About Mine
2.1 Mine is a privacy-first audience insights platform.
2.2 The Platform allows participating brands to:
(a) create and manage a Mine Brand Audience;
(b) invite or add eligible Mine members;
(c) use Audience Builder to find eligible members based on selected website activity signals;
(d) manage Active and Pending Members;
(e) view aggregated audience insights;
(f) compare Brand website attention with selected competitor website attention;
(g) set an Active User Cap;
(h) view billing information;
(i) manage payment settings;
(j) connect supported ecommerce or other data services, including Shopify;
(k) authorise Mine to receive and process permitted Purchase Data;
(l) view aggregated or modelled Commerce Insights; and
(m) measure observed or estimated commercial outcomes associated with investment in a Brand Audience.
2.3 Mine members control whether Share Signals is on or off.
2.4 Mine does not provide the Brand with direct access to a member’s name, email address, contact details, Mine account identity, raw DNS requests, complete URLs, individual website signal records, individual purchase match, individual purchase history or complete browsing history.
2.5 A Commerce Integration is a data connector. Unless Mine expressly states otherwise, the Mine web dashboard remains the primary place where the Brand accesses insights and manages its Brand Audience.

Audience Insights means aggregated or audience-level metrics, reports, scores, counts, percentages, trends and related outputs made available through the Platform.

Estimated Incremental Revenue means revenue estimated by Mine’s stated methodology to be above a modelled baseline or comparison outcome. It is an estimate and not a statement of deterministic attribution.

(g) the Brand receives a privacy request, complaint or regulatory inquiry materially affecting Mine’s processing of Purchase Data.
5. Brand account and authorised access
5.1 The Brand is responsible for keeping account credentials secure and limiting access to authorised personnel.
5.2 The Brand is responsible for activity carried out through its account unless the activity resulted from Mine’s failure to take reasonable security precautions.
5.3 The Brand must not:
(a) share credentials with unauthorised persons;
(b) sell, transfer or sublicense account access;
(c) allow another organisation to use the account as its own; or
(d) attempt to access another Brand’s account or data.
5.4 Where Mine supports multiple Brand Representatives, the Brand is responsible for managing their access and permissions.
5.5 Mine may rely on instructions given by a person using valid Brand credentials unless Mine knows or reasonably suspects that the person lacks authority.
6. Brand onboarding and configuration
6.1 During onboarding, the Brand must provide the information requested by Mine, which may include:

(b) primary website;
(c) Active User Cap;
(d) five competitor websites;
(e) billing information;
(f) a connected store or Commerce Provider account;
(g) privacy and data-protection confirmations; and
(h) other information reasonably required to configure the Brand account or Commerce Integration.
6.2 A Brand that installs Mine through Shopify or another Commerce Provider may be required to authorise the provider connection before creating or linking a Mine Brand account. The provider installation and the Mine Brand account are separate records and are linked only after Mine completes its account-linking process.
6.3 The initial Active User Cap must be at least 200.
6.4 The Brand must provide exactly five valid competitor websites unless Mine expressly permits another number.

6.6 The Brand’s primary website and competitor configuration are locked after onboarding for reporting consistency.
6.7 Mine may correct obvious formatting or domain-normalisation issues.
6.8 A request to change the primary website or competitor configuration after onboarding is subject to Mine’s approval. Mine may refuse or delay a change where it could undermine historical reporting, billing integrity, member expectations or data consistency.
6.9 The Brand is responsible for checking its website, competitor configuration and connected-store identity before completing onboarding or account linking.
7. Brand Audience
7.1 The Brand Audience may include members who:
(a) join through a Brand invitation or link;
(b) are added through Audience Builder;
(c) are moved from Pending to Active; or
(d) enter through another Platform feature described by Mine.
7.2 A member’s presence in the Brand Audience does not mean:
(a) the Brand receives that member’s identity;
(b) the Brand receives individual website activity;
(c) the member has visited the Brand’s website during every reporting period;
(d) the member is a customer of the Brand;
(e) the member has agreed to receive direct marketing from the Brand; or
(f) the member will qualify for payment in every Billing Month;
(g) the member currently has Share Signals on or has an active matching identity;
(h) Mine has matched the member with a Store Customer;
(i) the member has purchased from the Brand; or
(j) the Brand is entitled to receive individual purchase information about the member.
7.3 Purchase Matching forms part of the member’s Share Signals choice. When a Member turns on Share Signals after receiving Mine’s current notice and accepting the current Member Terms, Mine may create or reactivate that Member’s private matching identity and perform Purchase Matching for eligible connected stores associated with the Member’s Brand Audiences. Mine does not provide a separate Purchase Matching toggle in the initial version of the Service.
7.3A Turning on Share Signals does not mean that:
(a) every Brand has connected a Commerce Integration;
(b) every Store Customer record will match a Member;
(c) a Member has purchased from the Brand; or
(d) an individual match will be disclosed to the Brand.
7.4 Mine members may be able to see that the Brand is accessing their signals and, where applicable, that the Brand participates in Purchase Matching.
7.5 A Member may turn Share Signals off at any time to stop new website-signal collection and new Purchase Matching. A Member may also leave or ask Mine to remove them from an individual Brand Audience using any available in-app control or by contacting Mine. These actions operate prospectively and do not erase valid historical billing or earnings records.
7.6 Mine may remove, suspend or change a Member’s audience status or matching eligibility where required by the Member’s instructions, these Terms, the Member Terms, law, privacy requirements, fraud controls or Platform operations.
7.7 The Brand does not own the members in its Brand Audience and has no entitlement to receive their identities, contact details, individual matches or individual purchase histories.
8. Audience Builder
8.1 Audience Builder allows the Brand to select available criteria, such as:
(a) a recent time range;
(b) the Brand’s primary website;
(c) one or more configured competitor websites;
(d) broad geographic eligibility; and
(e) the number of members the Brand wishes to add.
8.2 Audience Builder may identify eligible members outside the Brand’s existing Mine audience who have generated relevant website activity signals.
8.3 The Brand receives only an available count or other aggregated preview. The Brand does not choose named individuals or receive their identities.
8.4 A preview is temporary and may expire.
8.5 A preview does not reserve members or guarantee that the same number will remain available when the Brand confirms activation.
8.6 Mine may exclude members for reasons including:
(a) existing Brand Audience status;
(b) account eligibility;
(c) location;
(d) member blocking or removal preferences;
(e) fraud or test-account controls;
(f) Active User Cap restrictions;
(g) payment-method requirements; or
(h) changed or expired signal eligibility.
8.7 Members added through Audience Builder become part of the Brand Audience in accordance with the Platform’s status and activation rules.
8.8 Mine does not guarantee that Audience Builder will return a minimum number of eligible members.
9. Pending Members
9.1 Pending Members are not Active Members.
9.2 Pending Members do not count towards the No-Payment-Method Threshold, Active User Cap usage or billing as Active Members until activated.
9.3 The Brand may activate available Pending Members through the Platform, subject to:
(a) the Active User Cap;
(b) payment-method requirements;
(c) member eligibility;
(d) Platform availability; and
(e) any other displayed restriction.
9.4 Activating a Pending Member may affect future billing.
9.5 Mine may determine the order in which Pending Members are activated, including using an oldest-first rule or another fair and consistently applied method.
10. Active User Cap
10.1 The Active User Cap is a forward-looking audience and billing control.
10.2 The Active User Cap must:
(a) be at least 200; and
(b) not be lower than the Brand’s current number of Active Members.
10.3 The Brand may increase the Active User Cap through Brand Settings.
10.4 To reduce the Active User Cap below the current Active Member count, the Brand must first reduce its Active Members using an available Platform feature.
10.5 Changing the Active User Cap:
(a) affects future audience growth;
(b) does not retrospectively change a previous billing snapshot;
(c) does not reverse charges already incurred; and
(d) does not remove an existing member automatically.
10.6 Mine will use reasonable measures to prevent the Platform from activating members above the Active User Cap.
10.7 If a technical error causes the Active User Cap to be exceeded, Mine will investigate and make any appropriate billing correction.
11. Audience refinement
11.1 Where available, Audience Refinement allows the Brand to remove eligible Active Members who have not visited the Brand’s own website within a selected period.
11.2 The available periods may include 7, 30, 90 or 365 days.
11.3 The Brand chooses the number of eligible members to remove. Mine selects those members internally.
11.4 The Brand does not receive:
(a) the identities of the members considered or removed;
(b) their individual browsing histories;
(c) individual website activity; or
(d) the internal selection list.
11.5 Audience Refinement may not reduce the Brand Audience below 100 Active Members.
11.6 Removed members cease to be Active Members prospectively.
11.7 Audience Refinement does not:
(a) rewrite billing history;
(b) reverse a valid current-month billing entitlement;
(c) delete final billing snapshots; or
(d) remove a member payment already validly earned.
11.8 A member who was active during a Billing Month and later removed may still be a Billable Member for that month.
12. No-Payment-Method Threshold
12.1 A Brand may maintain up to 10 Active Members and access the available Audience Insights without adding a payment method.
12.2 A verified payment method is required before the Brand can deliberately activate an 11th Active Member through Brand-controlled audience tools, unless Mine expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
12.2A A Member-driven join through the Brand’s invitation link may still add that Member as Active even if the Brand has no verified payment method. If that join takes the Brand above 10 Active Members, Mine may lock or limit Brand dashboard access until the Brand adds a verified payment method. The resulting month may be a Paid Billing Month under section 12.6.
12.3 Pending Members do not count towards the 10-member threshold until activated.
12.4 The 10-member threshold is not a permanent allowance under which the first 10 members remain free after the Brand enters paid usage.
12.5 If the Brand has no more than 10 Active Members throughout a Billing Month:
(a) that month is not a Paid Billing Month;
(b) Mine does not charge Brand Fees or Processing Fees for those members; and
(c) no Brand-funded Member Earning arises for that month unless Mine expressly chooses to fund it.
12.6 If the Brand has more than 10 Active Members at any time during a Billing Month:
(a) that month is a Paid Billing Month;
(b) all Billable Members for that month are charged under section 14, including the first 10 Active Members; and
(c) the first 10 Active Members are not deducted from the number of Billable Members.
12.7 For clarity:
(a) 10 Active Members throughout a Billing Month means no Brand Fees or Processing Fees for that month; and
(b) 11 Active Members at any time during a Billing Month means all Qualified Members who otherwise meet the Billable Member requirements may be billed for that month.
12.8 Adding a verified payment method does not, by itself, create a charge. Charges arise only under the billing rules in these Terms.
12.9 A verified payment method does not permit the Brand to exceed its Active User Cap.
12.10 Mine will not retrospectively charge the Brand for a completed Billing Month in which the Brand remained at or below 10 Active Members throughout that month.
13. Monthly qualification and billing eligibility
13.1 Mine uses a global monthly activity rule to determine whether a member qualifies for a Billing Month.
13.2 Under the intended Australian launch rule, a member qualifies globally when Mine records qualifying Share Signals activity on at least 20% of the calendar days in the relevant month, rounded up to the next whole day.
13.3 The intended thresholds are:
(a) 7 activity days in a 31-day month;
(b) 6 activity days in a 30-day month;
(c) 6 activity days in a 29-day month; and
(d) 6 activity days in a 28-day month.
13.4 For a Paid Billing Month, a member is generally billable to the Brand where:
(a) the member was Active for the Brand at any time during that month;
(b) the member qualified globally for that month;
(c) the member is included in the final billing snapshot; and
(d) no valid exclusion, correction or credit applies.
13.5 A member does not need to visit the Brand’s website in the Billing Month to qualify for payment.
13.6 A member does not need to purchase from the Brand or be matched to Purchase Data to qualify for the standard Member Earning. Qualification remains based on Share Signals activity and the other rules in this section.
13.7 Removing a member during the month does not erase billing eligibility already established for that month.
13.8 Mine uses automated rules and billing snapshots to calculate Billable Members and whether a Billing Month is a Paid Billing Month.
13.9 Mine may correct a manifest calculation, duplication, fraud or system error.
13.10 Mine may change the qualification rule for future Billing Months by giving reasonable advance notice.
13.11 Mine will not ordinarily apply a less favourable qualification change retrospectively to a completed Billing Month.
14. Pricing
14.1 For each Paid Billing Month, and unless a different written price applies, the Brand will be charged for each Billable Member:
(a) Brand Fee: A$2.00;
(b) Processing Fee: A$0.05; and
(c) GST at the applicable rate.
14.2 The A$2.00 Brand Fee is currently allocated commercially as:
(a) A$1.00 Member Earning; and
(b) A$1.00 Mine platform fee.
14.3 The Processing Fee is paid by the Brand and is not deducted from the standard A$1.00 Member Earning.
14.4 At a 10% GST rate, the charge for one Billable Member is currently:
(a) subtotal excluding GST: A$2.05;
(b) GST, after applicable rounding: A$0.21; and
(c) total: A$2.26.
14.5 The A$0.21 GST amount is an example based on the current price and GST rate. GST is charged at the rate and using the rounding rules applicable when the invoice is issued.
14.6 Mine may offer discounts, credits, trials or promotional pricing. Any additional conditions will be shown when the offer is made.
14.7 Prices are in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise.
15. Billing snapshots
15.1 Mine prepares a billing snapshot for each relevant Brand and Billing Month.
15.2 A billing snapshot may include:
(a) the Billing Month;
(b) the number of Billable Members;
(c) Brand Fees;
(d) Processing Fees;
(e) GST;
(f) total amount due;
(g) payment status; and
(h) related billing references.
15.3 A dashboard estimate or in-progress snapshot may change before finalisation due to:
(a) monthly qualification;
(b) member status changes;
(c) data processing;
(d) corrections;
(e) fraud checks;
(f) No-Payment-Method Threshold or paid-usage status; or
(g) applicable credits.
15.4 Once finalised, the billing snapshot is the primary record used to create the Brand invoice, subject to correction of manifest errors.
15.5 Mine will use reasonable safeguards against duplicate billing.
16. Invoices and payment
16.1 The Brand authorises Mine and Stripe to charge the Brand’s verified payment method for amounts properly due under these Terms.
16.2 Mine ordinarily bills the previous completed Billing Month after month end.
16.3 Mine may issue an invoice through Stripe and attempt payment using the saved payment method.
16.4 The Brand must keep a valid payment method on file whenever it has more than 10 Active Members or otherwise incurs paid usage.
16.5 The Brand is responsible for:
(a) ensuring sufficient funds or credit are available;
(b) keeping billing information current;
(c) reviewing invoices and billing records; and
(d) notifying Mine promptly of a suspected error.
16.6 Full card details are handled by Stripe and are not stored by Mine. Mine may retain limited billing information such as payment status, payment-method type, expiry details and the last four digits.
16.7 A payment is not treated as cleared until Mine receives confirmation through the applicable payment process.
16.8 Member earnings associated with a billing snapshot may not be allocated until the Brand’s funds have cleared.
17. Failed or overdue payments
17.1 If an invoice is unpaid or payment fails, Mine may:
(a) notify the Brand;
(b) retry the payment;
(c) request an updated payment method;
(d) pause new audience activation;
(e) restrict access to some or all Platform features;
(f) suspend the Brand account; or
(g) take reasonable steps to recover the amount owed.
17.2 Except where fraud, security or repeated payment failure requires immediate action, Mine will ordinarily give the Brand a reasonable opportunity to correct the payment issue.
17.3 Suspension does not cancel amounts already incurred.
17.4 Mine will not charge interest, collection costs or late fees unless they are:
(a) disclosed before they are incurred;
(b) reasonably related to Mine’s actual costs; and
(c) permitted by law.
17.5 Mine may restore access after overdue amounts are paid and a valid payment method is available.
18. Billing disputes, corrections and refunds
18.1 The Brand may request a review of:
(a) an invoice;
(b) a billing snapshot;
(c) the number of Billable Members;
(d) a duplicate charge;
(e) a payment failure; or
(f) another billing calculation.
18.2 A review request should be sent to brad@mineinsights.com.au within 30 days after the relevant invoice is issued. This time limit does not exclude or restrict any right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.
18.3 The request should identify:
(a) the Brand account;
(b) the relevant Billing Month or invoice;
(c) the amount disputed; and
(d) the reason for the dispute.
18.4 Mine will investigate and respond within a reasonable period.
18.5 The Brand must pay any undisputed portion of an invoice when due.
18.6 Charges are generally non-refundable once validly incurred.
18.7 Mine may provide a refund or account credit where:
(a) the Brand was charged in error;
(b) duplicate billing occurred;
(c) a material Platform failure prevented delivery of the paid service;
(d) Mine agrees to an exceptional commercial resolution; or
(e) a refund is required by law.
18.8 A refund does not normally reverse a Member Earning already validly allocated unless the original charge arose from fraud, duplication, manifest error or another lawful basis for reversal.
18.9 This section does not limit any non-excludable right or remedy.
19. Cancellation by the Brand
19.1 There is no minimum contract period unless the Brand separately agrees to one in writing.
19.2 The Brand may request cancellation at any time through Brand Settings or by contacting Mine. Mine may require reasonable account-security checks before accepting or processing the request.
19.3 The Brand may disconnect a Commerce Integration without cancelling the Brand account. Disconnecting a Commerce Integration is governed by section 21A and does not itself cancel the Brand’s paid audience service.
19.4 Cancellation takes effect at the start of the next calendar month in Australia/Adelaide time, after the current Billing Month has ended.
19.5 From the time Mine accepts a cancellation request:
(a) new audience growth may be disabled immediately;
(b) the Brand may continue to access its existing dashboard until cancellation takes effect, subject to these Terms;
(c) existing Active Members may remain active until cancellation takes effect;
(d) billing continues for the current Billing Month; and
(e) the Brand remains responsible for charges validly incurred.
19.6 Cancellation does not:
(a) cancel an invoice already issued;
(b) reverse charges for a completed or current Billing Month;
(c) remove a Member Earning already validly established; or
(d) entitle the Brand to a refund except under section 18.
19.7 Mine may place the account into a scheduled, processing, read-only or failed-closed state while cancellation is being completed. A processing error does not restore audience growth or remove valid payment obligations.
20. Brand account closure and data retention
20.1 When closure takes effect, Mine may:
(a) keep new audience additions disabled;
(b) end or deactivate Brand Audience relationships prospectively;
(c) make the dashboard read-only or unavailable;
(d) finalise the current Billing Month;
(e) issue any final invoice;
(f) close Brand Representative access;
(g) disconnect Commerce Integrations and stop collecting new Purchase Data;
(h) revoke, delete or make unusable connection credentials and access tokens; and
(i) delete or de-identify information that is no longer required.
20.2 Mine may retain limited records after closure where reasonably required for:
(a) billing and payment;
(b) accounting and tax;
(c) member earnings;
(d) legal acceptance;
(e) fraud and security;
(f) privacy requests and provider compliance;
(g) disputes; or
(h) compliance with law.
20.3 Closure does not require Mine to delete or alter properly de-identified analytics or aggregated Commerce Insights that no longer relate to an identifiable person.
20.4 The Privacy Policy describes Mine’s retention practices in more detail.
20.5 Purchase Data and pseudonymous purchase records are retained only for the periods described in the Privacy Policy, any Data Processing Schedule or the applicable Commerce Provider requirements, subject to law.
21. Information and insights provided to the Brand
21.1 Mine provides aggregated Audience Insights and, where a Commerce Integration is connected and sufficient data is available, Commerce Insights.
21.2 Audience Insights and Commerce Insights may include:
(a) Active and Pending Member counts;
(b) website and competitor reach;
(c) audience visit days;
(d) repeat-attention categories;
(e) engagement trends;
(f) age or sex distributions;
(g) Brand and competitor attention measures;
(h) Brand Affinity or similar calculated scores;
(i) campaign markers;
(j) aggregated purchasers and net revenue;
(k) purchase rate, repeat purchase rate, average order value and purchase frequency;
(l) observed changes following Mine rewards;
(m) estimated sales uplift and Estimated Incremental Revenue;
(n) Audience Return, Audience ROI and related evidence or confidence indicators; and
(o) other audience-level or commerce-related outputs.
21.3 Mine may make non-commerce Audience Insights available for audiences with as few as two Active Members.
21.4 Commerce Insights involving matched purchases will ordinarily require at least 30 Matched Members in each reported cohort and may require a higher threshold for particular metrics, breakdowns or modelling. Mine may change a threshold where reasonably required to protect privacy, improve statistical reliability or comply with law or Commerce Provider requirements.
21.5 Mine may suppress, combine, delay, round or withhold a Commerce Insight where:
(a) a cohort does not meet the applicable minimum;
(b) the result could create an unreasonable re-identification risk;
(c) overlapping filters or comparisons could reveal an individual outcome;
(d) the data is too incomplete or unstable for responsible reporting; or
(e) law, a member choice or Commerce Provider requirement prevents reporting.
21.6 The Brand acknowledges that a result from a small audience may be more revealing than the same result from a larger audience.
21.7 The Brand must apply particular care when interpreting small-audience results and must comply with section 22.
21.8 Website metrics are based on Mine’s limited, daily-deduplicated signal model.
21.9 Unless expressly stated otherwise, Mine website and behavioural metrics are not:
(a) page views;
(b) sessions;
(c) click counts;
(d) conversions;
(e) complete website analytics;
(f) deterministic attribution;
(g) proof of purchase; or
(h) a complete record of a member’s internet activity.
21.10 A Commerce Insight expressly identified as being based on connected Purchase Data may include confirmed or reconciled purchase outcomes. That does not make the insight deterministic attribution or proof that Mine caused a purchase.
21.11 “Visit days” generally means the number of member-and-domain calendar-day combinations recorded by Mine.
21.12 Audience Insights and Commerce Insights may be delayed, incomplete or affected by:
(a) Share Signals being off;
(b) device or network behaviour;
(c) iOS background limitations;
(d) DNS caching;
(e) data syncing;
(f) member eligibility;
(g) audience changes;
(h) low sample size;
(i) technical outages;
(j) a Commerce Provider’s availability, permissions, API limits, redaction or data quality;
(k) delayed, duplicated, missed or out-of-order webhooks;
(l) refunds, cancellations, order edits or currency treatment;
(m) Member Share Signals choices and matching eligibility;
(n) identifier availability and match coverage;
(o) the selected measurement window or comparison cohort; or
(p) seasonality, promotions, advertising, product launches, economic conditions and other external factors.
21.13 Brand Affinity, Audience Return, Audience ROI, Estimated Incremental Revenue and other calculated indicators are analytical tools and are not guarantees of consumer sentiment, sales, campaign performance, profit or future behaviour.
21A. Commerce Integrations and Purchase Data
21A.1 A Commerce Integration allows the Brand to authorise Mine to access specified data from a supported Commerce Provider.
21A.2 The permissions requested by Mine may include read access to orders, payments, refunds, cancellations, store identity and other fields reasonably necessary to provide the disclosed feature. Mine will not request write access or additional fields unless it reasonably requires them for a feature described to the Brand.
21A.3 The Brand authorises Mine to:
(a) complete and maintain the provider authorisation and account-linking process;
(b) hold and use provider access credentials or offline access tokens securely;
(c) subscribe to and receive relevant webhooks;
(d) conduct an initial historical import within the provider’s permitted access period;
(e) perform periodic reconciliation or resynchronisation;
(f) process Purchase Data in accordance with these Terms, the Privacy Policy and any Data Processing Schedule; and
(g) communicate with the Commerce Provider as reasonably required to maintain, secure or disconnect the integration.
21A.4 The Brand must grant only the permissions it is authorised to grant and must not connect a development, test, third-party or unrelated store in a way that could supply Purchase Data without proper authority.
21A.5 Unless Mine expressly states otherwise, Purchase Data used for the initial Shopify feature may include only:
(a) provider order, refund and event identifiers;
(b) a customer email address processed transiently for Purchase Matching;
(c) paid, processed, updated, cancellation and refund dates;
(d) order total, refund amount and currency;
(e) cancellation status, source and test-order status; and
(f) limited store, order or customer metadata strictly necessary for deduplication, reconciliation, fraud prevention, privacy compliance or outcome measurement.
21A.6 Mine does not ordinarily require Store Customer names, phone numbers, street addresses, shipping details, complete payment details or product-level line items for the initial Purchase Matching feature. Mine must notify the Brand before materially expanding the Purchase Data used for that feature.
21A.7 For Shopify, Store Customer email is protected customer data. Mine will:
(a) use it only for the disclosed Purchase Matching and compliance purposes;
(b) normalise it and generate a secure, non-readable HMAC matching code using a secret controlled by Mine;
(c) not store the readable Store Customer email in Mine’s commerce-order records;
(d) not display or disclose the matching code to the Brand; and
(e) restrict internal access and use in accordance with Mine’s security controls.
21A.8 An HMAC matching code, internal subject identifier or pseudonymous purchase record remains protected as personal information within Mine where Mine can use it to relate information to a person. It is not treated as anonymous merely because the Brand cannot identify the person from the Brand-facing output.
21A.9 Mine will perform Purchase Matching only for Members who have a current Share Signals consent and active matching identity, and only in connection with Brands and purposes covered by the member-facing notice, Member Terms and Privacy Policy.
21A.10 Where Purchase Data does not match an eligible consenting Member, Mine may:
(a) discard the individual order record after the required processing;
(b) retain only a properly de-identified or aggregated store-level fact; or
(c) retain a minimal record temporarily where reasonably required for deduplication, reconciliation, security, privacy compliance or another disclosed lawful purpose.
21A.11 Mine will not make available through the Platform:
(a) an individual Purchase Matching result;
(b) a Member’s order history;
(c) an identifiable Store Customer record;
(d) a list of purchasers;
(e) a Member’s order value, order date or purchased items; or
(f) a filter or export designed to reveal an individual purchase.
21A.12 The Brand is responsible for:
(a) providing legally required notices to Store Customers about Mine’s indirect collection and processing;
(b) ensuring its privacy policy accurately describes the disclosure and relevant purposes;
(c) obtaining any consent required by applicable law;
(d) honouring applicable customer choices, objections and opt-outs;
(e) not instructing Mine to process Purchase Data for an incompatible, unlawful or undisclosed purpose; and
(f) complying with Shopify’s or another Commerce Provider’s applicable merchant terms.
21A.13 Mine is responsible for:
(a) using Purchase Data only for the purposes described in these Terms, the Privacy Policy, any Data Processing Schedule and the applicable member notice;
(b) applying data-minimisation and retention controls;
(c) using reasonable safeguards for credentials and Purchase Data;
(d) supporting applicable access, correction, deletion and privacy requests as described in section 40;
(e) respecting applicable Member Share Signals choices and matching eligibility; and
(f) complying with obligations applying directly to Mine under law and the Commerce Provider’s developer or partner terms.
21A.14 The parties will reasonably cooperate to:
(a) respond to Store Customer and Member privacy requests;
(b) investigate a suspected unauthorised disclosure or data breach;
(c) correct inaccurate or improperly supplied Purchase Data;
(d) meet a lawful regulator or Commerce Provider requirement; and
(e) determine which party should communicate with an affected person.
21A.15 If the Brand receives a request to access, correct, delete or restrict Purchase Data processed by Mine, it must notify Mine promptly where Mine’s assistance is required and provide sufficient information to locate the relevant record without disclosing unnecessary personal information.
21A.16 Mine may receive and act on mandatory privacy or compliance webhooks or requests from Shopify or another Commerce Provider, including customer data access, customer deletion and store deletion requests. The Brand authorises Mine to take the steps reasonably required to comply.
21A.17 The Brand may disconnect a Commerce Integration through the available controls, by uninstalling the provider app or by contacting Mine.
21A.18 On disconnection or uninstall:
(a) Mine will stop intentionally collecting new Purchase Data as soon as reasonably practicable;
(b) provider access credentials will be revoked, deleted or made unusable;
(c) historical Commerce Insights may stop updating;
(d) Mine may retain limited Purchase Data for the periods and purposes described in the Privacy Policy or Data Processing Schedule; and
(e) properly de-identified or aggregated outputs may be retained.
21A.19 Mine may suspend or disconnect a Commerce Integration where:
(a) authorisation expires, is revoked or appears invalid;
(b) the Brand no longer controls the connected store;
(c) the Brand or Mine lacks a required permission or protected-data approval;
(d) continued processing could breach law, provider requirements or a person’s rights;
(e) a privacy or security incident requires containment;
(f) the integration threatens Platform reliability or security; or
(g) the Brand materially breaches this section.
21A.20 A Commerce Provider may change, restrict, redact, delay or discontinue access to data or functionality. Mine does not control those actions and may modify or discontinue the affected Commerce Integration as a result.
21A.21 A Data Processing Schedule may state additional or different requirements concerning legal roles, processing instructions, international data transfers, subprocessors, security, assistance, retention, deletion or audit. It prevails over this section to the extent of a direct inconsistency.
21B. Commerce measurement and outcome claims
21B.1 Mine may use Purchase Data, Brand Audience status, Member Earning records and privacy-safe website activity signals to calculate Commerce Insights.
21B.2 For measurement purposes, Mine ordinarily treats the reward event as the date the standard Member Earning is credited to the Member’s Mine balance, rather than the date the Member later withdraws funds.
21B.3 Mine may use measurement periods such as:
(a) a period before and after a reward;
(b) performance after the first reward;
(c) performance after consecutive rewards;
(d) monthly reward cohorts; or
(e) another period clearly identified in the Platform.
21B.4 Mine may distinguish between:
(a) Observed Change — a descriptive change in outcomes following a reward, without a causal claim;
(b) Estimated Incremental Revenue — a modelled estimate relative to a stated baseline or comparison;
(c) Audience Return — an estimated incremental revenue multiple; and
(d) Audience ROI — an estimated profit-based measure using a Brand-supplied or Brand-confirmed contribution margin.
21B.5 Mine may use methods including pre-period and post-period comparison, matched cohorts, difference-in-differences, staggered cohorts, holdouts or other reasonable statistical approaches.
21B.6 Mine may assign an evidence state, confidence grade, confidence interval, methodology version or data-quality indicator to a Commerce Insight.
21B.7 A Commerce Insight may be withheld or labelled as collecting data or early signal until Mine has sufficient match coverage, cohort size, measurement history or comparison data.
21B.8 Unless the Platform expressly states otherwise:
(a) a change following a reward is observational;
(b) an uplift, incremental revenue, Audience Return or Audience ROI figure is an estimate;
(c) correlation does not establish that Mine caused the outcome;
(d) external factors may explain some or all of the observed result; and
(e) the figure is not audited financial information.
21B.9 Audience Return ordinarily uses Mine Investment as its denominator. The Platform must identify any materially different denominator or exclusion.
21B.10 Audience ROI is available only where the Brand provides or confirms a contribution margin or other required profit input. The Brand is responsible for the accuracy and suitability of that input.
21B.11 The Brand must not describe Audience Return as profit, profit ROI or true return on investment unless the relevant Commerce Insight expressly uses an appropriate profit measure.
21B.12 The Brand must not publish, advertise or communicate a Mine-derived outcome claim unless:
(a) the claim accurately reflects the metric shown;
(b) the Brand retains the displayed methodology, date range, evidence state and material qualifications;
(c) the underlying result has not expired or been superseded;
(d) the claim is supported by reasonable grounds and evidence;
(e) estimates are clearly identified as estimates;
(f) the claim does not imply individual purchase attribution or guaranteed future performance; and
(g) Mine has given any written approval required under section 23.
21B.13 The following wording is an example only and may be used only when supported by the relevant Commerce Insight:
“Every A$1 invested in your Mine audience returned an estimated A$15 in incremental revenue.”
21B.14 The Brand must not alter that or similar wording in a way that removes “estimated”, changes incremental revenue into profit, or conceals a material limitation.
21B.15 Mine may correct, withdraw or recalculate a Commerce Insight where Purchase Data changes, a refund or cancellation occurs, the methodology changes, an error is found or continued publication would be misleading.
21B.16 Mine may preserve prior methodology versions so that historical results can be interpreted consistently. A methodology update may cause results for different periods to be non-comparable.
22. Privacy, re-identification and prohibited use
22.1 The Brand must not:
(a) attempt to identify or re-identify a Mine member;
(b) attempt to determine which member generated a signal or contributed to a result;
(c) combine Audience Insights with other data for the purpose of identifying or singling out a member;
(d) infer or reconstruct an individual member’s browsing history;
(e) ask Mine employees, contractors or other persons to reveal member identities;
(f) use a small-audience result to target, contact, discriminate against or make a decision about a particular person;
(g) use Audience Insights for employment, credit, insurance, housing, health, eligibility or another high-impact individual decision;
(h) disclose or sell Audience Insights as individual-level data;
(i) claim that Mine has identified a particular member as a customer or prospect;
(j) use Purchase Data or Commerce Insights to determine whether a particular Member purchased, what they purchased, when they purchased or how much they spent;
(k) compare Mine outputs with the Brand’s own customer or order records for the purpose of identifying a Matched Member;
(l) manipulate date ranges, overlapping cohorts, refunds or other filters to isolate an individual purchase outcome;
(m) use an individual purchase inference for direct marketing, profiling or a high-impact decision; or
(n) use the Platform in a way that undermines Mine’s privacy model.
22.2 The Brand must not attempt to circumvent aggregation, access controls, cohort-suppression rules, minimum audience protections or other privacy safeguards.
22.3 The Brand must notify Mine promptly if it becomes aware of:
(a) accidental access to individual-level information;
(b) a suspected re-identification risk;
(c) unauthorised disclosure of Audience Insights;
(d) compromised Brand credentials;
(e) Purchase Data supplied without required authority, notice or consent;
(f) an attempt to use Commerce Insights to identify a purchaser; or
(g) another privacy or security incident relating to the Platform.
22.4 Mine may immediately restrict access to protect members where it reasonably suspects a breach of this section.
22.5 Mine may require the Brand to delete or return improperly obtained information and provide reasonable evidence that it has done so.
22.6 References to “anonymous insights” describe Brand-facing outputs that do not include direct member identifiers, individual signal records or individual purchase matches. They do not mean that pseudonymous records inside Mine are anonymous and do not authorise the Brand to treat small-audience outputs as risk-free or to attempt re-identification.
23. Permitted use of Audience Insights and Commerce Insights
23.1 Subject to these Terms, Mine grants the Brand a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Audience Insights and Commerce Insights for the Brand’s lawful internal business purposes.
23.2 Permitted purposes may include:
(a) audience planning;
(b) campaign planning and evaluation;
(c) market and competitor analysis;
(d) product and customer-experience planning; and
(e) measuring observed and estimated commercial outcomes associated with the Brand Audience;
(f) evaluating audience investment, retention and repeat-purchase strategy; and
(g) internal reporting.
23.3 The Brand may share Audience Insights and Commerce Insights with its employees, professional advisers and agencies who:

23.4 The Brand must not:
(a) resell, sublicense or commercialise Audience Insights as a standalone product;
(b) publish a Mine dashboard or report publicly without Mine’s written consent;
(c) remove Mine’s ownership or attribution notices;
(d) represent an estimate or directional metric as audited fact;
(e) use Mine’s name or logo in public marketing without permission;
(f) publish a Commerce Insight or Mine-derived outcome claim contrary to section 21B;
(g) use Audience Insights or Commerce Insights for an unlawful, misleading or deceptive purpose; or
(h) represent Mine as providing audited financial, accounting or deterministic attribution services.
24. Brand invitations and direct marketing
24.1 A member’s participation in a Brand Audience does not, by itself, provide the Brand with consent to send that member direct marketing.
24.2 The Brand must not attempt to obtain member contact details from Mine or use Audience Insights or Commerce Insights to identify and contact members.
24.3 If Mine later provides a Brand-to-member communication feature, the Brand must:
(a) use it only as permitted by Mine;
(b) comply with applicable privacy and marketing laws;
(c) honour unsubscribe and preference controls; and
(d) avoid misleading, harmful or discriminatory content.
24.4 The Brand is responsible for the lawfulness of its own marketing campaigns, websites, offers and communications.

(e) may lawfully be provided to Mine;
(f) does not include a profit, margin or other commercial input that the Brand knows is materially inaccurate.
25.3 The Brand should not place customer lists, individual names, contact information, health information or other sensitive personal information into free-text fields unless Mine expressly provides a feature for that purpose.
25.4 Mine may remove or restrict Brand Data that reasonably appears to breach these Terms or create legal, privacy or security risk.
26. Licence to Brand Data
26.1 The Brand retains ownership of Brand Data it owns.
26.2 The Brand grants Mine a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, copy, process, display, adapt and use Brand Data to:
(a) provide and secure the Platform;
(b) configure the Brand account;
(c) display approved Brand information to members;
(d) generate Audience Insights;
(e) administer billing;
(f) provide support;
(g) provide Commerce Integrations and generate Commerce Insights;
(h) perform Purchase Matching in accordance with member choices; and
(i) comply with law.
26.3 The licence continues only for as long as reasonably required for those purposes, subject to legal retention requirements.
26.4 The Brand represents that it has the rights required to grant this licence.
26.5 The Brand authorises Mine to process Purchase Data as described in section 21A. The Brand does not transfer ownership of Purchase Data to Mine, and Mine acquires no right to use it for an unrelated purpose.
27. Mine intellectual property
27.1 Mine and its licensors own all intellectual property rights in:
(a) the Platform;

(f) use Mine’s trademarks without written permission.
28. Confidentiality
28.1 Each party may receive confidential information from the other.
28.2 Confidential information does not include information that:
(a) is public through no breach of these Terms;
(b) was already lawfully known without confidentiality obligations;
(c) is independently developed; or
(d) is lawfully received from another source without restriction.
28.3 Each party must:
(a) use the other party’s confidential information only for these Terms;
(b) protect it using reasonable care; and
(c) disclose it only to personnel and advisers who need it and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
28.4 A party may disclose confidential information where required by law, after giving notice where legally permitted.
28.5 Mine’s non-public security information, pricing arrangements, source code, member-level systems and technical architecture are Mine confidential information.

(j) facilitate surveillance of identifiable individuals; or
(k) help another person breach these Terms.
30.2 The Brand must comply with reasonable technical and security instructions issued by Mine.
31. Third-party services
31.1 Mine relies on third-party services, including Supabase, Stripe, Apple, Cloudflare, Resend, DigitalOcean, Shopify and other providers.
31.2 Stripe provides payment collection and related billing infrastructure.
31.3 Shopify and other Commerce Providers provide store authorisation, APIs, webhooks and source commerce data for applicable Commerce Integrations.
31.4 The Brand’s use of certain features may be subject to third-party terms and privacy policies.

33.2 Where a change materially reduces a core paid feature, Mine will give reasonable notice where practicable.
33.3 Mine may change pricing for future Billing Months by giving at least 30 days’ advance notice.

(d) restore access when the reason no longer applies.
34.4 Mine may act immediately where delay could create material privacy, security, financial or legal harm.
34.5 Suspension does not erase valid charges already incurred.
35. Termination by Mine
35.1 Mine may terminate the agreement for:
(a) serious or repeated breach;
(b) fraud or unlawful conduct;
(c) intentional re-identification activity;
(d) material security risk;
(e) persistent non-payment after reasonable notice;
(f) insolvency where permitted by law;

(m) that a Commerce Insight is audited financial information; or
(n) that an estimate will remain unchanged after refunds, reconciliation or methodology updates.
37.2 The Brand is responsible for its own marketing, commercial and strategic decisions.

(a) the fees paid or payable by the Brand to Mine during the three months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim; and

(c) allow the Brand reasonable involvement in the defence, subject to Mine protecting member privacy and its legitimate interests; and

40. Privacy
40.1 Mine handles personal information in accordance with its Privacy Policy.
40.2 The Brand must handle any personal information connected with the Platform and any disclosure of Purchase Data to Mine in accordance with applicable privacy law.

40.4 Where a Brand Representative uses Mine on behalf of an organisation, account and activity information may be accessible to other authorised representatives of that organisation.

(a) the kinds of information disclosed;
(b) that Mine is the recipient or operator of the connected service;
(c) the purpose of privacy-preserving Purchase Matching and aggregated outcome measurement;
