Data Terms

Version 1.2 · Updated October 4, 2026

1. These terms

scout is operated by Scout Travel LLC. By creating or using a scout account, you agree to these Data Terms. They explain how scout may use the content you share in the app. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

2. Your content stays yours

You keep ownership of everything you post — your reviews, rankings, photos, and comments (together, "Content"). Nothing in these terms transfers your ownership to scout.

3. License to use your content

You grant scout a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable license to host, use, reproduce, adapt, publish, and distribute your Content in connection with scout and scout's services.

This includes using your rankings to create aggregated, anonymized insights, as described in Section 4.

4. Data products

scout may develop and commercialize products built from community data, such as hotel insight reports. These products use only aggregated, anonymized data — for example, a hotel's average score across many users. They never include your name, profile, photos, comments, or anything else that identifies you.

By acknowledging these terms, you agree that your rankings may contribute to these aggregated insights.

5. Content standards

Only post Content you have the right to post. Don't post anything unlawful, abusive, or that invades someone else's privacy. You're responsible for the Content you share.

scout has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You can report content or block users directly in the app. Every report is reviewed within 24 hours, and content or accounts that violate these standards are removed.

6. Your account

Keep your login credentials safe. We handle personal information such as your name and email as described in our Privacy Policy, and we don't sell your contact details.

7. Deleting your account

You can stop using scout at any time. To delete your account, go to You (your profile) → Settings → Delete account in the app. This permanently deletes your account and your Content.

Aggregated, anonymized insights that were created before you deleted your account may remain, because they don't identify you.

8. Contact us

Questions, concerns, or reports you'd rather send directly? Reach us any time at support@scouttravel.co. We review reports of objectionable content within 72 hours.

9. No warranty

scout is provided "as is" and "as available." We don't guarantee the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll ask you to acknowledge the updated version before you continue using scout.
