Last updated: September 15, 2026

Scout ("Scout" or the "Company") is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your personal information in compliance with California law and our Privacy Policy.

This Notice of Collection of Personal Information and Privacy Policy ("CPRA Privacy Notice") applies to the collection of personal information from California residents on and after January 1, 2023. This CPRA Privacy Notice supplements our Privacy Policy to provide California residents with information and rights required by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"). The CPRA Privacy Notice applies only to individuals residing in the State of California who are considered "consumers" under the CPRA and from whom we collect "personal information" as described in the CPRA.

This CPRA Privacy Notice describes the types and categories of personal information we collect, the business purposes for which we process, collect, use, store, disclose and share your personal information, with whom we share it, and your rights in personal information under the CPRA. We share your personal information with third party advertisers for cross-context behavioral advertising within the meaning of the CPRA (i.e., targeting of advertising based on personal information obtained across businesses, websites, applications or services, other than the Company’s website or services). We do not sell your personal information.

For purposes of this CPRA Privacy Notice, "personal information" means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular California resident or household. Personal information does not include publicly available information, information that is de-identified or aggregate consumer information, or information or rights that are outside the scope of the CPRA.

  • You have the right to correct inaccurate personal information.
  • You have the right to request deletion of personal information under certain circumstances.

  • You have the right to know what information is shared with third parties, and to whom and to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell your personal information.
  • You have the right not to receive discriminatory or retaliatory treatment for the exercise of any of these rights. We will not discriminate or retaliate against you or refuse to provide you Services because you have exercised your rights.

Additional reasonable measures may also be required to verify the identity of the person making a request depending on the circumstances. For requests to delete made electronically, you may be required to submit the request to delete, and then separately confirm that you want your personal information deleted. We will maintain a record of your request to delete. To the extent that you wish to use an authorized agent to make requests concerning the rights set forth above, you will need to provide us either with a power of attorney or, alternatively, with signed authorization to communicate with your authorized agent, and directly confirm that you provided the authorized agent with permission to submit the request.
