Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy is provided by Copypower Digital LLP (“Copypower”, “we”, “us”) for the Scouthook product and related websites and services (the “Service”).

Registered office: A-606, Kalyan Tower, Vastrapur, Ahmedabad - 380052

Contact: contact@scouthook.com

EU/EEA privacy inquiries: contact@scouthook.com

2. Scope

This policy applies to the Service, including pages and apps that link to it. It does not apply to third-party services you may use with Scouthook (including LinkedIn). For information on how LinkedIn collects, uses, and protects your data, see LinkedIn's Privacy Policy.

3. Information we collect

We intentionally keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect and store:

• Account information: the email address used to create and manage your Scouthook account, and basic account metadata such as plan status.
• LinkedIn connection information: if you connect LinkedIn, we store your LinkedIn access and refresh tokens along with your LinkedIn member ID so your account stays connected and we can make API requests on your behalf.
• LinkedIn profile data: we pull your LinkedIn profile name, headline, and profile photo through the LinkedIn API so we can show them inside Scouthook. This data is retrieved from LinkedIn each time you log in and held in server memory only during your active session. It is not written to our database.
• Posting to LinkedIn: when you choose to publish a post through Scouthook, we send that content to LinkedIn using their API. We only do this when you hit publish.

LinkedIn API permissions: we request only the permissions needed to display your profile and publish on your behalf (such as profile, openid, w_member_social, and r_organization_social where applicable). We do not access your messages, connections list, or any data beyond what is needed for posting and displaying your profile.

No analytics or crash reporting: We do not use third-party analytics or crash reporting tools at this time (even “anonymous” analytics).

4. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• Run and secure the Service
• Keep your LinkedIn connection working
• Help you when you reach out to support
• Prevent abuse, fraud, and security issues
• Meet legal requirements

We do not sell personal data.

5. Legal basis for processing

Under GDPR Article 6, here is why we process the data we do:

• Contract: we need to process your data to deliver the Service you signed up for.
• Consent: connecting LinkedIn is your choice. You can disconnect any time, and that withdraws your consent.
• Legitimate interests: keeping the Service secure and preventing fraud or abuse, as long as those interests don’t override your rights.
• Legal obligation: sometimes the law requires us to process or retain certain data.

6. LinkedIn / platform compliance

When you connect LinkedIn, you’re giving Scouthook permission to access your LinkedIn data and take actions through LinkedIn’s APIs on your behalf.

• We only use LinkedIn data to power the features you actually use inside Scouthook.
• We store the bare minimum for the connection: access tokens, refresh tokens, and your member ID.
• You can disconnect LinkedIn from Scouthook or revoke access directly in your LinkedIn settings.
• We do not use LinkedIn data for advertising, profiling, or marketing of any kind.
• We do not sell, rent, or hand over LinkedIn data to data brokers or any third party for their own use.
• We do not build separate databases or profiles from LinkedIn data.
• If LinkedIn revokes our API access, we delete all LinkedIn data within 30 days.

7. Sharing and disclosure

We only share information in a few specific cases:

• Service providers: vendors that help us run Scouthook (like hosting and email delivery). They only process what they need to, under strict confidentiality.
• Legal and safety: when the law requires it, or to protect someone's rights, safety, or security.
• Business transfers: if the company is acquired or merged, your data stays protected under the new owner.

We do not share your data with third parties for their marketing.

8. International data transfers

Our cloud servers are in the United States and our company is in India, so your data may be processed in either country. If you're in the EU or EEA, that means your data leaves your home jurisdiction.

We protect cross-border transfers with standard contractual clauses and data protection agreements with our service providers. If you want details on the specific safeguards, email us at contact@scouthook.com.

9. Data retention and deletion

• While your account is active: we keep only what we need to run the Service, including your LinkedIn tokens and member ID if you've connected LinkedIn.
• When you disconnect LinkedIn: we delete or revoke your stored LinkedIn tokens and any identifiers tied to that connection within 30 days.
• When you close your account: we delete your account data and LinkedIn connection data within 30 days. We may keep a small amount of information longer if the law requires it, or if we need it to resolve a dispute or enforce our agreements.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, and misuse. Access and refresh tokens are encrypted at rest. All data in transit is protected using TLS. That said, no system is perfectly secure.

If we discover a data breach that puts your personal data at risk, we will notify affected users and the relevant authorities within 72 hours, as required by law.

11. Cookies and tracking

We don't use cookies, tracking pixels, or anything similar for analytics, ads, or behavioral tracking. We also don't run any third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools. If that ever changes, we'll update this policy and let you know.

12. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you (including the GDPR), you may have the right to:

• Access a copy of the personal data we have about you.
• Correct data that’s inaccurate or incomplete.
• Delete your personal data.
• Restrict how we process your data.
• Port your data, meaning receive it in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Object to processing we do based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent at any time (for example, by disconnecting LinkedIn).
• Complain to your local data protection authority.

You can also:

• Disconnect LinkedIn from inside Scouthook or from your LinkedIn settings.
• Close your Scouthook account to have your data deleted as described above.

To use any of these rights, email us at contact@scouthook.com. We’ll get back to you within 30 days.

13. Automated decision-making

We don't run any automated decision-making or profiling that has legal or other significant effects on you.

14. Children

The Service is not intended for anyone under 16 years of age. If you are under 16, do not use Scouthook.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or via email where appropriate.
