Scout — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 July 2026

Scout is a house-hunting app and browser extension that lets you save property listings from Zoopla, Rightmove and OnTheMarket into a shared group workspace. This policy covers both the Scout web app and the Scout Chrome extension.

What we collect

• Account information. Your name and email address, held by our authentication provider (Clerk), are used to sign you in and to show who saved or commented on a property.
• Property data you choose to save. When you click "Add to Scout" on a listing, the extension reads the listing details on that page (address, price, photos, floor plans, size, and similar) and stores them in your group's workspace.
• Authentication cookies. The extension reads your own Scout session cookie so it can act as you — it never collects your browsing history and only runs on property listing pages.

What we don't do

• We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to third parties.
• We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.
• We do not track your browsing outside the supported property sites.

Where your data lives

Data is stored in Scout's own database, hosted on Railway, and is visible only to members of the groups you belong to. Authentication is handled by Clerk.

Your choices

You can delete properties, leave groups, or delete your account at any time from the app. Removing the extension stops all collection immediately.
