1. Overview

DrillHash is a public mining pool for the NEXA blockchain. The pool is designed to operate with minimal data collection. No account registration is required. Your wallet address serves as your sole identifier on the service.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

4. Data Retention & Deletion

Share records are automatically purged every 24 hours. Records older than 35 days are permanently deleted from the database. Temporary session data stored in cache expires within 7 days. Mining job templates are held in memory only and are not persisted to disk.

Block records and payment history are retained permanently for operational transparency and to enable users to verify their transaction history.

5. How Your Wallet Address Is Used

Your NEXA wallet address is extracted from your miner configuration (the user field in your Stratum connection) and is used to:

Your wallet address is public on the NEXA blockchain. Displaying it on the pool dashboard does not expose any additional private information.

6. Payments

Payouts are processed automatically on a recurring schedule. Each payment is recorded on the NEXA blockchain with a transaction ID. Payment records (wallet address, amount, transaction ID, timestamp) are retained permanently as part of the public blockchain ledger and the pool's internal audit trail.

7. Third-Party Services

The pool connects to the NEXA blockchain network for mining and payment operations. Data shared with the NEXA network is subject to that network's own protocols and is outside the scope of this policy.

8. Data Security

Pool communications use standard Stratum protocol over TCP. Database access is restricted to pool operations. No data is sold, shared with third parties for marketing purposes, or used for advertising.

9. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the pool after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
