Privacy Policy

This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for ScoutChat.us and the ScoutChat mobile and Windows apps. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website and the ScoutChat mobile and Windows apps. It will notify you of the following:

1. What personally identifiable information is collected from you, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
2. What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
3. The security procedures in place to protect against the misuse of your information.
4. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the contact information collected on this site (contact name, address, phone, email). We also track some information about how and when you use ScoutChat. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. We do not collect personal information from children; ScoutChat does not allow them to update member information.

We will use your contact information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will share your information with other parties in your organization. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request.

The purpose of ScoutChat is to share information; everything entered, posted, and uploaded may be shared with other members in your unit. Unit chatmasters can tell if you have ScoutChat notifications enabled, and all unit members can tell when you last used the app.

We may use your contact information to contact you to respond to feedback or resolve problems you might have with the site, or to tell you about new services, changes to this privacy policy, or changes to the Terms of Service.

Your Access to and Control Over Information
You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number given on our website:

• See what data we have about you, if any.
• Change/correct any data we have about you.
• Express any concern you have about our use of your data.
• Close your account and opt out of any future contact from us.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information.

All information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Scout information (name, street address, and phone number) is encrypted on the database, and is only decrypted when retrieved for display and processing.

If you feel there is a violation of this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at 800 255-2452 or via email.
