Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 21, 2026
Scout is a personal goal partner app. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We take your privacy seriously and will never sell your data or use it for advertising.
Information we collect
When you use Scout, we collect information you provide directly:

How we use your information
Everything we collect is used to provide and improve your experience:

We use Anthropic's Claude API to generate personalized content. Your goal information, behavioral context, mood data, and profile data are sent to Anthropic's API to generate personalized responses. We send only what is necessary for this purpose. Anthropic's privacy policy governs their handling of that data.

If you delete your account, your data is deleted within 30 days. Encrypted backups may persist for up to 90 days before being permanently purged.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
