out of 100. Number 512 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where Texas Pacific Land Corporation does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Data sharing 2 of 20. Few problems found.
- Price & terms 3 of 15. Few problems found.
- Data retention 2 of 15. Few problems found.
- Other findings 1 of 10. Few problems found.
- No forced arbitration or class-action waiver anywhere — the site publishes no Terms of Use at all.
- The privacy policy answers 'Is Your Personal Information Shared?' with a one-word 'No.' The Email Alerts page states plainly: 'We do not sell, rent, or loan any information to any third party. Any information you give us is held with the utmost care and security, and will be used only in ways to which you have consented.' There are no accounts, subscriptions, purchases, or content uploads, so there are no auto-renew traps, no user-content grabs, and no data-retention lock-ins.
- The privacy policy is short and written in plain sentences rather than 40 pages of legalese.
TPL can change its privacy policy unilaterally at any moment with no promise of notice to you — the only mention of changes is a single sentence saying it 'may' happen.
The fine print
5 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.

TPL can change its privacy policy unilaterally at any moment with no promise of notice to you — the only mention of changes is a single sentence saying it 'may' happen.
We may amend this privacy policy from time to time.

If you sign up for email alerts, your contact and demographic info can be used to market the site's services to you and to contact you both online and offline whenever they deem it 'needed' — broad language with no opt-out spelled out.
We may ask you to give us contact and demographic information when you register. We use this information to send our Site's users, like you, information about the Site or Services. We also use this information to contact you both on line and offline when needed.

TPL stores your IP address as a partial identifier and uses it to build 'broad demographic information,' and uses cookies to target content 'specific to your interests' — i.e., tracking and profiling of visitors on an investor-relations brochure site.
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. Your IP address is used to gather broad demographic information and is stored as a partial identifier. We use cookies, when applicable, to deliver content specific to your interests and when applicable to save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit our site.
-
Refusing cookies is allowed but comes with a mild penalty — you could be shut out of 'specials and/or promotions' as a consequence of choosing privacy.
You may set your browser to refuse cookies. If you make that choice, please understand that you may not be eligible for any specials and / or promotions we may offer our Site's users.

When you use the email-alert signup form, you are silently handed over to hCaptcha's own privacy policy and terms — a third party's legal terms apply to you without any notice of what they contain.
This site is protected by hCaptcha and its Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
How these were found
Only legal document found on the site is the Privacy Policy at https://www.texaspacific.com/privacy-policy (page carries no effective/last-updated date; search-index metadata listed 'Last Updated: UNKNOWN'). texaspacific.com publishes NO Terms of Use / Terms of Service page as of Oct 1, 2026 — multiple searches of the domain surface only SEC filings and the privacy policy, and the Q4-platform site footer links to the privacy policy only. Supplementary text taken from the Email Alerts page (https://www.texaspacific.com/investors/news-events/email-alerts), read in full via browser_open on Oct 1, 2026. No mirror was needed; the live pages loaded directly. Scores are modest because TPL is a land-and-royalty company whose site is informational only — no accounts with content, no commerce, no subscriptions — so most sneakiness categories are inherently empty.
