Scout — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 October 2026

Scout is run from scouthome.co.uk. This policy covers the Scout web app and the Scout Chrome extension.

What we collect and why

• Your account: name, email and profile picture from your Google or Apple sign-in.
• What you save: listings, ratings, notes, viewings, criteria and places such as a workplace.
• Server logs, including IP addresses, kept for up to 30 days to keep Scout secure.

We use this only to run Scout for you. We don't sell it, advertise with it or profile you. The extension only reads a listing page when you click it.

Who sees it

• Your group sees everything in it.
• Clerk (sign-in, United States) and Railway (hosting, Netherlands) process it for us.
• Public data services such as TfL, police.uk and the Land Registry receive a home's address or location, never your name or email, so we can show information about the area.

Cookies

Only the ones needed to keep you signed in. No analytics or advertising cookies.

Deleting your data

Delete your account from your profile at any time. We delete your profile and notes, and any group where you were the only member. Homes you shared stay with groups that still have members.
