OutScout Privacy Policy

Effective date 13 November 2026

OutScout is an outdoor discovery app published by Josh Lees. It has no accounts, third-party ad network, analytics SDK or tracking identifiers. Browsing, searching and saving places work on your device. OutScout promotes our related products, Motocamp, Ridgeflow and Full Send, in the Apps tab and on destination pages. When you tap one of those links, the website learns only that the visit came from OutScout and which page you tapped it on.

Location

If you choose Near me and grant permission, OutScout uses a foreground location fix to order destinations by approximate distance. The fix stays in app memory until you return to manual browsing or close the app. OutScout does not send the fix to us, store it in your saved places, or include it in shares or links. You can browse by area without location access and revoke the permission in your device settings.

Saved places and preferences

OutScout stores your saved destinations, browsing area and distance unit in its app storage. There is no account or cloud sync. You can unsave places in the app. To remove local data, delete the app or clear its storage in Android settings. Device backup and transfer behaviour depends on your operating system.

Links and sharing

If you open a visitor information page or one of the related product websites, that site handles your visit under its own privacy policy. OutScout does not send your location or saved places to those sites. When you share a destination, OutScout gives the share sheet its name, general location and description. You choose where to send that text.

Support messages

If you email support, we receive your email address and the message you choose to send. We use it to respond and address your request. The email provider processes the message to deliver it. We keep correspondence only as needed to provide support and meet legal obligations; you can ask us to delete it.
