Privacy Policy

At ScoutHubs, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, why we collect it, and how that information may be used.

By using ScoutHubs, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Who We Are

ScoutHubs is a shopping advice and product intelligence platform.

Comments

If you leave a comment on ScoutHubs, we collect the information you provide in the comment form, such as your name, email address and comment. We may also collect your IP address and browser information to help detect spam and keep the discussion safe.

Images and Media

If you upload images to our website, please make sure they do not contain sensitive location information.

Some images can include embedded location data, such as GPS coordinates. Other visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract this information.

Cookies

Like most websites, ScoutHubs uses cookies to make the website work properly and provide a better experience.

If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. This means you won’t have to enter the same information again the next time you leave a comment. These cookies may remain on your device for up to one year.

When you visit our login page, we may set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.

If you log in to an account, we use cookies to remember your login session and certain display preferences. Standard login cookies typically last for two days, while display preference cookies may last for up to one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may remain active for up to two weeks. Logging out will remove the relevant login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, your browser may also store a cookie containing the ID of that article. This cookie does not contain personal information and expires after one day.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website work.

Content From Other Websites

Some pages or articles on ScoutHubs may include content from third-party websites, such as videos, images, articles or other embedded material.

When you interact with embedded content, the third-party website may collect information about you in the same way it would if you visited that website directly. This may include the use of cookies, tracking technologies and information about your interaction with the embedded content.

If you are logged in to an account with that third-party service, your activity may also be associated with that account.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party websites whose content you interact with.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website and provide its features, including spam detection services.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email as a security measure.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Comments and their associated information may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize follow-up comments and manage discussions more efficiently without sending every comment through a manual moderation process.

If you create an account on ScoutHubs, we store the personal information you provide in your account profile. You can view, update or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username where applicable.

Website administrators may also access and manage account information when necessary to operate, maintain and secure the website.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account with ScoutHubs or have left a comment, you can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

You can also ask us to delete personal information we hold about you.

However, in some cases, we may need to retain certain information for legitimate administrative, legal or security reasons.

Spam Detection

To protect ScoutHubs from spam and abuse, visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as ScoutHubs, our services or applicable requirements change. Any updates will be published on this page.
