Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
This page explains how EnSight Energy ("EnSight," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information submitted through ensightenergy.com, and the terms that apply to your use of this website. By using this site or submitting information through our forms, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We only collect information you choose to provide. The primary way we collect information is through our online Ownership Change Request form, where mineral owners (or their representatives) may submit:
- Contact details — name, mailing address, email address, and phone number
- Ownership identifiers — owner name of record, owner number, and property/well/lease information
- Supporting documents you upload — which may include recorded deeds and assignments, IRS Forms W-9, death certificates, affidavits of heirship, probate or trust documents, and entity records
- An electronic attestation and typed signature confirming your submission is accurate
Sensitive information. Documents you upload may contain sensitive personal information, such as Social Security Numbers or Employer Identification Numbers (for example, on a W-9). Please submit only the documents requested for your specific change type.
How we use your information
We use the information you submit solely to process and administer ownership and division order changes — verifying your request, updating ownership records, ensuring accurate royalty payments, and communicating with you about your request. We do not use this information for marketing.
How your information is handled and protected
Information you submit is transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Our website is hosted by Netlify, and form submissions are processed by Formspree, which delivers your submission and attachments to our Owner Relations team. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy practices.
Access to submitted information is limited to authorized EnSight personnel who need it to process your request. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information in our care. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Information sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
- With service providers who help us operate the site and process submissions (such as our hosting and form providers), under appropriate confidentiality obligations
- With our affiliates and professional advisors (for example, legal or title professionals) as needed to process your request
- When required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect our rights
Data retention
We retain submitted information and documents for as long as necessary to process your request and to meet our business, legal, and tax recordkeeping obligations. Records related to tax reporting are generally retained for at least seven (7) years, consistent with IRS guidance. [CONFIRM RETENTION PERIOD WITH COUNSEL.]
Your choices
You may contact us to ask about the information you have submitted, to request corrections, or to ask questions about how it is handled. Use the contact details below. [If you are subject to state privacy laws that grant additional rights, describe those rights and how to exercise them here — CONFIRM APPLICABILITY WITH COUNSEL.]
Cookies and analytics
[CONFIRM: Update this section based on the analytics/cookies you actually use.] This site is a static website and does not set advertising or tracking cookies of its own. Our hosting and form providers may use limited cookies or logs necessary to deliver and secure the service.
Terms of use
This website and its content are provided for general informational purposes and to facilitate ownership change requests. By using the site you agree to:
- Submit accurate, truthful information and only documents you are authorized to provide
- Use the Ownership Change Request form only for legitimate ownership and division order matters relating to interests you own or represent
- Not attempt to disrupt, misuse, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems
Submitting a request does not by itself complete or guarantee any ownership change. All submissions are subject to review and verification by our Division Order and Land teams, and may require additional documentation. The site and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Changes to this page
We may update this Privacy & Terms page from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and the effective date above will be updated.
