Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 8, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. We do not store your Google password.

User-Generated Content: Launch submissions, reviews, comments, and upvotes you post on the platform.

Lead Information: If you express interest in a launch ("I'm Interested"), we collect your name, email, and phone number to connect you with the listing party.

Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, and general analytics to improve the Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: provide and improve the Service; display your public profile (name and avatar) alongside your reviews, comments, and submissions; connect interested buyers with launch submitters; moderate content for community safety; communicate important updates.

3. Content Moderation

Comments and reviews are processed by AI-powered moderation to ensure community guidelines are met. This moderation happens in real-time and content that violates our guidelines will be rejected. We do not store rejected content.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Google OAuth — for authentication
  • Anthropic (Claude AI) — for content moderation and launch data extraction
  • Google Maps — for location display
  • Cloudflare R2 — for image storage

Each service has its own privacy policy. We only share the minimum data required for each service to function.

5. Public Information

When you submit a launch, post a review, or leave a comment, your name and profile picture are publicly visible alongside your content. Upvotes are anonymous.

6. Lead Data Sharing

When you express interest in a launch, your contact information (name, email, phone) may be shared with the launch submitter or associated broker to facilitate communication. We do not sell your contact information to third parties.

7. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. We use encryption in transit (HTTPS) and follow industry-standard security practices. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. Data Retention

We retain your data as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Published content (launches, reviews, comments) may be anonymized rather than deleted.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to: access your personal data; correct inaccurate data; request deletion of your account and data; export your data. Contact us at support@homescout.in to exercise these rights.

10. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes via the Service or email.
