Where Newmont does well
- Arbitration 2 of 20. Few problems found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Fairness notes — Newmont is noticeably less sneaky than peers in several areas.
- No forced arbitration anywhere: disputes go to state/federal courts in Denver, Colorado — no class-action waiver, no secret arbitration requirement.
- Explicit no-sale commitment: 'We do not sell, lease, rent or otherwise disclose your Personal Data to third parties unless otherwise stated below or with your consent.'
- No cross-site ad tracking: 'Newmont does not track users over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising.'
- Named data-subject rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection) with a dedicated privacy.officer@newmont.com contact, plus a promise that changed privacy terms won't be applied retroactively without consent.
- No accounts, subscriptions, or consumer checkout on the site at all, so there are no auto-renew or cancellation traps to speak of.
Newmont can change the site and these terms whenever it wants, with no notice to you, and the changes take effect the moment they post them.
The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.

Newmont can change the site and these terms whenever it wants, with no notice to you, and the changes take effect the moment they post them. The Privacy Statement independently says: 'We reserve the right to amend the Statement at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, other than the posting of the amended Statement on our Sites.'
We reserve the right, at any time and without notice, to add to, change, update, or modify the Website, the Website Content, and this Agreement, simply by posting such addition, change, update, or modification on the Website. Any such addition, change, update, or modification will be effective immediately upon posting on the Website.
-
No matter what goes wrong — even if Newmont's site harms you or your business — the most you can ever recover from them is $250. And if Newmont sues you and wins, it gets its attorneys' fees paid by you (the indemnification clause runs only from you to Newmont).
Each of our and our licensors' total aggregate liability for any damages arising out of or related this agreement or your access to or use of the website or any website content is limited to us$250.
Terms of Use, Section 8 (Disclaimer and limitation of liability)
-
Anything you upload to their site — comments, documents, photos — becomes theirs to use, modify, and sell forever, with no payment to you, they can sub-license it to others, and they can attach your name to it. You can never revoke this, even if you stop using the site.
By providing or uploading any Provided Content to the Website, unless otherwise stated in a separate agreement entered into by You and Newmont in connection with Your provision or upload of such Provided Content, You grant Us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sub-licensable right to use, copy, store, reproduce, modify, display, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such Provided Content throughout the world in any form ('Use'). In addition, You waive all moral rights in the Provided Content or warrant that all moral rights applicable to such content have been waived. You also grant Us the right to Use Your name in connection with our Use of such Provided Content.
-
Newmont can cut off your access to the site instantly, for no reason, without telling you. But if you want out, you have to send them written notice and wait 10 business days for it to take effect.
Newmont may terminate this Agreement immediately, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice to You. You may terminate this Agreement upon notice to Newmont, such termination to be effective 10 business days after the effective date of the notice.
-
Your personal data is kept for as long as Newmont decides it is 'needed' — with no fixed time limit, no deletion schedule, and no automatic expiry date. The 'purposes' referenced are extremely broad (running the business, investigations, marketing, shareholder administration), so this is effectively indefinite retention.
We shall retain any Personal Data as long as the Personal Data are needed to: (i) fulfill the purposes that are described in this Statement, or (ii) comply with applicable law.
-
Newmont uses session-replay-style analytics that can record your mouse clicks, cursor movements, scrolling, and even text you type into the site — via third parties like Google Analytics. Separately, the statement allows transferring your personal data to affiliates and processors in countries including Argentina, Ghana, Peru, and Suriname, which 'may not have the same data protection laws,' and handing your data to a third-party acquirer 'in the Event of Merger, Sale, or Change of Control.'
We may use certain third-party analytics services to improve the functionality, features, or delivery of our Sites. We may also use these analytics services to record mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity, as well as any text that you type into our Sites. For example, we use Google Analytics on our Sites to track user trends and usage.
How these were found
Documents read live via text fetch from newmont.com on Oct 1, 2026; neither document displayed a last-updated date. The Terms of Use page (newmont.com/legal) also contains a forward-looking-statements cautionary notice. Note: the Terms' Modifications section references a 'privacy statement in Section 10,' but the posted Terms of Use contain no numbered Section 10 — the Privacy Statement lives on a separate page (newmont.com/privacy-statement). The HR-related privacy notice and supplier Data Processing Provisions (2021 DPA PDF) exist but are employee/supplier-facing and were not scored; Newmont is a gold-mining company with no consumer products, accounts, or subscriptions on its site, so auto-renew and most consumer-trap categories are genuinely not applicable rather than hidden. Score is deliberately modest for a corporate B2B site.
