Scouted Brand Privacy

Scouted Brand is operated by Stinger Ventures LLC, a North Carolina company ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect through scoutedbrand.com and the Scouted Brand beta, how we use it and the choices you have.

What we collect

When you join the list

Your role (athlete or parent), first name, email address, school and sport.
Optional: Instagram handle.
Parents: whether the athlete knows you're signing up.
Your confirmation that you are 18 or older, or that you are a parent or guardian signing up for an athlete.
The date and version of the consent you agreed to.
Where you came from: the ad or post tag in the link you followed, and a teammate's share code if you used one.

When an agency or business shares interest

Your role (agency or business), name, email address and organization.
Agencies: roughly how many athletes you represent.
Optional: what you would like help with.
We use these only to reply to you and to decide what to build. This is not the athlete beta, and no consent record is made for it.

Technical information

To stop spam and keep the site secure, we keep a scrambled (hashed) version of your internet address, not the address itself, and a short description of your browser. We treat these as personal information too.
Our web host keeps standard server logs.
The sign-up form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from automated bots. It checks information about your browser and device, which Cloudflare handles under its own privacy policy.
Apart from the analytics described next and the Cloudflare check on the sign-up form, public pages set no cookies and load no third-party scripts.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to count visits and see how the site is used. It sets cookies and collects information such as the pages you view, the buttons you use, the site that sent you here, your approximate location and your device and browser type. It also records that a sign-up happened and which role was chosen (athlete, parent, agency or business). Nothing you type into the sign-up form is sent to Google Analytics. On the beta question and feedback pages we record only which question screen you reached and whether you finished. We never send your answers, your name or your link code. We have turned off its advertising features, and we do not sell this information.

You can turn analytics off on this device with the button below. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, analytics stays off automatically. With it off, Google Analytics is not loaded and sets no cookies.

If you're invited to the beta

Answers you give in the beta questions, such as the level you play at, goals, what you want help with, how public you want to be, other accounts and current sponsors, categories you would or would not work with, school break plans and eligibility.
Optional screenshots of your social media statistics and photos you choose to share.
Public information about you and your team, such as roster pages, school announcements and public social media profiles.

If someone else joined the list for an athlete who is 18 or older, we do not collect beta answers or create a report until that athlete agrees personally.

What we never ask for

Contracts, government ID numbers, bank or card details, immigration documents or passwords.

How we use it

To run the beta list and contact you about the beta and the launch.
To prepare your report if you're invited.
To improve Scouted Brand, including counting sign-ups by role, school, sport and source.
To keep the site secure.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers that help us run Scouted Brand, such as our web host, Google (for email and for Google Analytics) and the AI and other technology providers we use to help prepare reports, and only as needed to provide the service. Reports are prepared with the help of AI tools and reviewed by a person before you receive them. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

Your report

Your report is private. We don't publish it or use it as a marketing example without your separate written permission (and a parent's, if you're under 18).

Athletes under 18

Athletes aged 13 to 17 take part only through a parent or guardian, who signs up, answers the beta questions and gives consent for them. We don't collect information directly from athletes under 18.

Children under 13

A parent or guardian can sign up an athlete under 13. Before we collect the beta answers about the child, we ask for the parent's permission and confirm the parent's identity on a short video call. Until then, we hold only what the parent entered on the sign-up form.

We collect only what the parent gives us in the beta questions, use it only to prepare the child's report, never sell it and never make anything about the child public without the parent's separate written permission. Our web host, Google (email) and the AI tools that help draft reports process it for us under our instructions.

A parent can review the information, ask us to change or delete it, or withdraw permission at any time by emailing hello@scoutedbrand.com. We then stop using it and delete it, except the record that permission was given and withdrawn.

How long we keep it

We keep beta list information until you ask us to delete it, or until 24 months after the beta ends. We keep a report baseline for the agreed follow-up check and delete it on request.

Your choices

You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or to leave the list, at any time by emailing hello@scoutedbrand.com. When you ask us to delete, we delete or de-identify your information, except limited records we need to keep for security, to meet legal obligations or to show that consent was given.

Security

We use encrypted connections, restricted access and protected storage. No system is perfectly secure, and we'll tell you if a problem affects your information.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, tell people on the list by email.
