Privacy Policy

Formation Metals Inc. ("Formation Metals," "we," "our," or "us") respects the privacy of visitors to formationmetalsinc.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have under Canadian privacy law, in particular the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you:

• Subscribe to our news release distribution list (name, email address).
• Contact us via email, telephone, or an investor inquiry form.
• Register for a webinar or investor event hosted by us or a third party on our behalf.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically:

• Usage data — pages viewed, time on page, navigation paths, referring URL.
• Device data — browser type and version, operating system, screen size, language setting, IP address (truncated).
• Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 3 below.

2. How We Use Information

• To provide and maintain the Site.
• To respond to investor inquiries and distribute news releases to subscribers.
• To understand how visitors interact with the Site so we can improve it.
• To comply with applicable laws, including Canadian securities disclosure obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

3. Cookies and Analytics

We use first-party cookies and third-party analytics providers to understand how the Site is used. These include:

3.1 Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to capture anonymised session recordings, heatmaps, and page interaction metrics. Clarity does not record passwords, credit card numbers, or other sensitive form input. IP addresses are truncated by Clarity before storage. More information is available in Microsoft's privacy statement.

3.2 Essential Site Cookies

Essential cookies may be set by our hosting provider (Netlify, Inc.) for security and site performance. These do not identify you personally.

3.3 Your Cookie Choices

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through browser settings. Disabling cookies may prevent some features of the Site from functioning correctly. If you are located in a jurisdiction that requires affirmative consent for non-essential cookies (for example, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom), you may withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies in your browser.

4. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party resources, including SEDAR+ (sedarplus.ca), press-release wire services, operator disclosures referenced in adjacent-property context, and investor presentation platforms (DocSend). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Analytics data collected via Microsoft Clarity is retained by Microsoft according to its standard retention schedule. Inquiry correspondence is retained for as long as is reasonably necessary to respond to and document the interaction.

6. Security

The Site is served over HTTPS and is hosted by Netlify, Inc. on a global content delivery network. We follow industry-standard practices to protect personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights Under PIPEDA

Individuals in Canada have the right, subject to limited exceptions, to:

• Access personal information we hold about them.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Withdraw consent for future use of personal information.
• File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 10.

8. International Transfers

Formation Metals is headquartered in British Columbia, Canada. Some of our service providers (including Microsoft Clarity and Netlify) may process information outside of Canada. Where this occurs, those providers maintain privacy commitments and technical safeguards consistent with Canadian privacy law.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
