Privacy

scout is built for the local AI community. We respect your privacy and collect as little data as possible.

What we collect

• Cloudflare Web Analytics — cookieless, privacy-first page view analytics. No personal data. Learn more.
• Anonymized behavioral telemetry — we collect scroll depth, click positions, session duration, page navigation flow, and hardware preset picks. This helps us understand how people use the site so we can improve it. Each session gets a random UUID stored in sessionStorage (cleared when you close the tab). No personal data is ever included. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, telemetry is fully disabled.
• Engagement signals — anonymous likes, clicks, searches, and votes. Used to rank models and improve the site.
• Rate limiting — we use a cryptographic hash of your IP address to prevent abuse. Raw IP addresses are never stored.

What we don't collect

• No cookies
• No user accounts or login
• No personal information or PII
• No tracking pixels or third-party ad scripts
• No data sold to anyone, ever

Your hardware selections

When you select a hardware preset, that selection is stored in your browser (localStorage) so we can show you relevant results. Your hardware specs never leave your device.
