Privacy policy

Version 1.1 · effective July 29, 2026 · Terms of service

Short version: we keep as little about you as we can, we track nobody, and we sell nothing about anybody. Scout is operated by Get Underway Syndicate LLC, the data controller for everything below. The details, plainly:

1 · What we store about you

Account — if you sign in with Google: your verified email address and name/avatar as Google provides them. If you use a pilot username: just that username. That's the identity, whole.

Activity — what makes the product work for you: your hunts and chat messages with Scout, favorites, feedback threads, and which reports you've opened. It exists so your work is still there tomorrow, not to profile you.

Technical — ordinary server logs (IP address, request, time) kept briefly for security and debugging, then gone.

2 · What we don't do

No advertising, no ad trackers, no third-party analytics scripts, no selling or renting personal data, no marketing emails you didn't ask for. There is nothing to opt out of because we never opted you in.

3 · Cookies

Functional only: the pilot-gate cookie (proves you passed the door), the sign-in session, and small conveniences like remembering an open panel. No advertising or cross-site cookies — which is why there is no cookie banner.

4 · Who processes data for us

A short list, each doing one job: Google (sign-in), Google Cloud (hosting, USA), Anthropic (the AI that reads your search messages and drafts Scout's answers), Discord (only if you join our community there), and — when subscriptions go live — a payment processor (your card details go to them, never to us). We share personal data with no one else, unless the law compels it.

5 · Boat listings and sellers

Scout's market database holds information that sellers and brokers published publicly to sell boats — occasionally that includes a seller's name or phone number as they printed it in their own advert. If a listing concerns you and you want it corrected or removed from Scout, use the feedback button; we honor such requests.

6 · Retention and deletion

Account and activity data stay while your account exists. Ask us (feedback button) and we delete your account and its personal data. Market data — listings, prices, history — is about boats, not people, and stays: it is the product's memory.

7 · Your rights

Wherever you live — and specifically under GDPR if you're in the EU/UK — you can ask what we hold about you, have it corrected, exported, or deleted. One message does it; there is no form maze. Write to contact@getunderwaysyndicate.com or use the feedback button on any page.

8 · Children

Scout is not directed at children and requires users to be 16 or older.

9 · Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, the version number and date above change with it, and we'll say so on the site.
