Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 7, 2026

1. What we collect

When you create an account we collect your email address, a securely hashed password (we never store your password in plain text), and a timestamp recording your acceptance of the Terms of Service. During onboarding you provide a profile: budget range, monthly income goal, age, weekly hours, city or zip, skills, risk appetite, work style, and optional things to avoid. If you track opportunities, we store your watching/pursuing status, notes, and outcomes. If you pin tools to your workspace, we store the tool names and links you pin.

2. How we use it

Your profile is used for exactly one thing: personalizing which opportunities you see and how playbooks are written for you. Your email is used for login and essential account communication. We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use third-party ad tracking.

3. AI processing

When playbook generation is powered by a third-party AI provider (Anthropic), the opportunity details and your profile fields (budget range, hours, city, skills, risk appetite, work style, exclusions) are sent to that provider to generate your playbook. Generated playbooks are cached by audience segment - not linked to your identity - to avoid regenerating the same content.

4. Cookies

We use a single essential session cookie to keep you logged in. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

5. Retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time from the Account page, which permanently removes your profile, email, and tracked opportunities. You can also email us to request deletion or a copy of your data.

6. Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, sessions use signed HTTP-only cookies, and login attempts are rate limited. No system is perfectly secure; use a unique password.

7. Children

Scoutway AI requires account holders to be at least 13 years old, and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Users aged 13–17 may only use the service with a parent or guardian's agreement, and paid plans for users under 18 require a parent or guardian to approve and pay for the subscription. We record the timestamps of terms acceptance and guardian approval.

8. Changes

If this policy changes materially, we will post the update here with a new "last updated" date.
