What Scout Does
Scout is a personal price tracking tool. The browser extension extracts product information (name, brand, price, sizes, stock status) from retailer websites you visit and sends it to your self-hosted Scout server for tracking.
Data We Collect
- Product data from retailer pages (prices, names, sizes, images) — only when you click "Track" or during scheduled price checks on items you previously tracked
- Your email address — only if you opt in to price drop alerts
- An authentication token stored locally in your browser
Data We Do Not Collect
- Browsing history or activity on non-tracked pages
- Personal or financial information
- Cookies or tracking identifiers
Data Storage
All data is stored on your personal Scout server. No data is shared with or sold to third parties.
