Payment Processing: All subscription payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect, store, or have access to your credit card information, billing address, or other payment details. Apple handles all payment processing independently.
Subscription Data: We receive limited subscription information from Apple, including subscription status (active/expired), badge type purchased (Creator/Studio/Agency), and subscription start/end dates. This information is used solely to display your verification badge and manage your subscription status.
Verification Review: If you purchase a verification subscription, your profile information (including display name, bio, photos, and any social media or portfolio links you provide) will be manually reviewed by our team to verify your professional status matches your selected badge type.
Review Data: During the verification review process, we may collect and temporarily store additional information you voluntarily provide to support your verification request (such as links to your social media profiles, portfolio, or professional website). This data is used only for verification purposes and is not shared with third parties.
Badge Display: Your verification badge type is publicly visible on your profile and throughout the app to all users.
We collect location data only when you use location-based features:
Location is only collected when the app is in use (foreground). We do not track your location in the background. You can disable location access in iOS Settings, though this will limit location-based features.
You have the right to:
To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@myscouted.com or use the account deletion feature in Settings.
We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. When you delete your account through the app, your data will be permanently removed from our servers, except where we are required to retain it by law.
Subscription Data: Subscription status and badge type information is retained for the duration of your active subscription and for a reasonable period after cancellation for billing, dispute resolution, and legal compliance purposes.
Marketing Content: If your profile or content has been featured in marketing materials prior to account deletion, we retain the right to continue using that content as outlined in our Terms of Service, even after account deletion.
Your data may be transferred and processed on servers located outside your country. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
Our service is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from someone under 18, we will delete that information immediately.
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
We may update this policy periodically. We will notify you of any material changes via push notification, email, or through the app. Your continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
