Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy covers how we treat Personal Data that we gather when you access or use the Services, including when you listen to AI-generated sports audio briefings (“Casts”), select teams and players to follow, or interact with the App. “Personal Data” means any information that identifies or relates to a particular individual and includes information referred to as “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” under applicable data privacy laws, rules, or regulations. This Privacy Policy does not cover the practices of companies we don’t own or control or people we don’t manage, including third-party services, which are governed by their own privacy policies.

The following details the categories of Personal Data we collect and have collected over the past 12 months:

We collect Personal Data from two primary sources:

We disclose your Personal Data to the service providers and third parties listed below. Some of these disclosures may constitute a “sale” under certain state laws. See state-specific sections for details.

Scoutcast delivers personalized AI-generated sports audio briefings by processing your team and player selections, content preferences, and listening behavior to generate tailored sports content. We personalize your experience using your preferences, listening history, and engagement patterns to provide relevant, timely sports briefings.

To improve the App’s overall quality and safety, we use aggregated or de-identified data such as listening statistics and anonymous usage patterns. We work with trusted third-party providers under strict data agreements for AI content generation, text-to-speech synthesis, and sports data processing; they can only use your data to provide Scoutcast’s services and must maintain appropriate safeguards.

We do not use your identifiable personal data for AI model training without your explicit opt-in. For quality assurance, we may review limited samples of de-identified data, and we will always seek your consent before using any identifiable content for review beyond basic service operations.

When you add X handles to your Scoutcast profile, we access only publicly available content from those accounts to enhance your audio briefings with insider perspectives and analysis. We do not access your personal X account, direct messages, or private data. You can add or remove X handles at any time through the App settings.

Scoutcast may use general location information to provide location-aware sports content (such as prioritizing local team coverage) and contextually relevant information. We may derive this information from your IP address or, if you authorize geolocation data via your mobile device, from your device. You can manage or revoke geolocation permission in your mobile device settings.

We may create aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data from the Personal Data we collect, including by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to a particular user. We may use such aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze, build, and improve the Services (including to improve our AI content generation, audio quality, and personalization capabilities) and promote our business, provided that we will not share such data in a manner that could identify you.

The Services use cookies and similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, and JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) in our web interfaces, as well as mobile SDKs in our App, to enable our servers to recognize your device, tell us how and when you visit and use our Services, analyze trends, learn about our user base, and operate and improve our Services. Cookies are small pieces of data—usually text files—placed on your computer, tablet, phone, or similar device when you use that device to access our Services. We may also supplement the information we collect from you with information received from third parties, including third parties that have placed their own Cookies on your device(s). Please note that because of our use of Cookies, the Services do not support “Do Not Track” requests sent from a browser at this time.

We use the following types of Cookies:

Essential Cookies. Essential Cookies are required for providing you with features or services that you have requested. Disabling these Cookies may make certain features and services unavailable.

Functional Cookies. Functional Cookies are used to record your choices and settings regarding our Services, maintain your preferences over time, and recognize you when you return to our Services.

Performance/Analytical Cookies. Performance/Analytical Cookies allow us to understand how visitors use our Services by collecting information about the number of visitors, pages viewed, and time spent on our Services.

You can decide whether or not to accept Cookies through your internet browser’s settings. Most browsers have an option for turning off the Cookie feature. You can also delete all Cookies that are already on your device. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit our website, and some of the Services and functionalities may not work.

To find out more information about Cookies, including information about how to manage and delete Cookies, please visit allaboutcookies.org.

We seek to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure using appropriate physical, technical, organizational, and administrative security measures based on the type of Personal Data and how we are processing that data. You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your password and/or other sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your mobile device and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account.

Although we work to protect the security of your account and other data that we hold in our records, please be aware that no method of transmitting data over the internet or storing data is completely secure.

We retain Personal Data about you for as long as you have an open account with us or as otherwise necessary to provide you with our Services. In some cases we retain Personal Data for longer, if doing so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule, or regulation. We may further retain information in an anonymous or aggregated form where that information would not identify you personally. Analytics logs are retained for up to 12 months, after which they are either aggregated or deleted in accordance with our data-retention schedule.

As noted in the Terms of Service, we do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from or for individuals under 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, please do not attempt to register for or otherwise use the Services or send us any Personal Data.

Additionally, in accordance with our practices to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, if we learn we have collected Personal Data from a child under 13 years of age, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 years of age may have provided Personal Data to us, please contact us at legal@scoutcast.ai.

These rights are not absolute. We may deny your request to exercise data subject rights for legitimate reasons, including we cannot verify your identity, your request could violate another person’s rights or applicable law, or your request could interfere with our services or prevent us from providing a service you’ve requested.

You may update or correct your information, and exercise certain opt-out rights, by emailing legal@scoutcast.ai.

To delete your account and the personal data associated with it, follow the steps on our Account Deletion page.

If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the U.S. and other countries that may have different data protection laws than your country. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers.

We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time, but we will alert you to any such changes by placing a notice on our website and in the App, by sending you an email, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of the Services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use the Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree to all of the changes. Use of information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected.

If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, the ways in which we collect and use your Personal Data, or your choices and rights regarding such collection and use, please do not hesitate to contact us at legal@scoutcast.ai.
