Privacy policy

DrillScore is built to know as little about you as possible. There are no accounts, and your IP address is never stored.

This policy explains how XTO Pty Ltd (ACN 702 801 410) ("DrillScore", "we") handles information on drillscore.com.au. We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

What we collect

  • Comments and experiences you post: the text, the page it's on, and optionally a nickname, your position, your view and your years of investing. These are published on the site.
  • Page views of company and announcement pages, counted per day. We don't record who viewed them.
  • A one-way visitor code: a keyed hash (HMAC) of your IP address, cut short, stored with comments, experiences and votes so we can stop floods, duplicates and double votes. It can't be turned back into your IP address. The IP address itself is never stored.
  • Contact messages: what you send through the contact form, including your email address if you give it.
  • Server logs kept by our hosting provider for security, for a limited time.

What we never collect

No accounts, passwords, portfolios or brokerage details. Your watchlist and theme choice are kept only in your own browser (local storage) and never sent to us. The calculators run entirely in your browser.

Personal information in posts

Please don't include anyone's personal details. Our software removes e-mail addresses, phone numbers and card numbers automatically. If a post contains personal information about you, ask us to remove it.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

DrillScore itself sets no tracking cookies. If analytics or advertising are switched on, Google Analytics and Google AdSense may set cookies to measure visits and show ads; see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can control ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.

How long we keep things

  • Published comments and experiences: until they are removed.
  • Posts held back by the spam filter: deleted after 30 days.
  • Daily page-view counts: about 13 months.
  • Contact messages: as long as needed to deal with them.

Disclosure and overseas processing

We don't sell personal information. Service providers we use (hosting, analytics, advertising, and the AI provider that reads public company announcements - which never receives anything you post) may process information outside Australia. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Access, correction and complaints

Contact us through the contact form. If you're not satisfied with our response you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
