MiningFMS is an independent knowledge base. No vendor money, no ads, no paywalls. This page explains how the content is licensed, how we handle accuracy, and what data the site collects.
About This Site
MiningFMS.com is an independent knowledge base for mining Fleet Management Systems. No vendor sponsorship, no referral fees, no advertising. All articles, vendor profiles, and tools are free to read.
Content Licence
All original written content on MiningFMS — articles, vendor profiles, blog posts, and tool documentation — is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) .
You are free to share, adapt, and build on this content for any purpose, including commercial use, provided you give appropriate credit and link back to the source page on miningfms.com.
The licence does not cover: third-party trademarks, vendor logos, embedded images sourced from vendors or other rights holders, or the site's code, design, and interactive tools themselves (the documentation about the tools is covered; the underlying calculator and planner code is not). If you want to reuse something and are unsure whether it's covered, email [email protected] and we'll clarify.
Accuracy and Corrections
We work to keep content accurate, but mining FMS is a fast-moving space and some details will drift out of date. Nothing on this site should be treated as professional, commercial, or legal advice. Decisions about real fleet operations should be based on vendor documentation, site-specific engineering judgement, and qualified consultants — not on a web article.
If you spot an error, an outdated figure, or a misrepresentation of a vendor or product, email [email protected]. We'll review and correct it promptly.
No Warranty
The site and its content are provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on information published here. Use at your own discretion.
Third-Party Trademarks
Vendor names, product names, and logos referenced on MiningFMS are the trademarks of their respective owners. Their use on this site is editorial — to identify and discuss the products — and does not imply endorsement, partnership, or affiliation in either direction.
If you represent a vendor and want a correction to how your product is described, email [email protected].
Privacy
We don't ask visitors for personal information. There are no accounts, no logins, no newsletter sign-ups, and no contact forms that store what you submit. If you email us, we only use that email to reply — we don't add it to any list.
The site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which articles are read and how visitors reach the site. GA4 collects pseudonymous data such as pages viewed, approximate location (country/region), device type, and referral source. It does not collect names, email addresses, or other directly identifying information, and we don't attempt to identify individual visitors.
Analytics data is processed by Google under its own privacy terms. See Google's Privacy Policy for details on how Google handles the data, and Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on if you want to block analytics tracking across sites that use GA.
The site sets cookies only in support of Google Analytics. There are no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers beyond GA.
External Links
Articles and vendor profiles link to external sites — vendor pages, research papers, standards bodies, news articles. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or privacy practices. Follow external links at your own discretion.

We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in what the site does or how it handles data. The "last updated" date at the top shows when the current version was published.
