How Scout handles data.

1. Who is responsible

Kanpa and Scout are operated by Nico Bachmann, Bahnstrasse 59, 3008 Bern, Switzerland. Nico Bachmann is responsible for the handling of personal data described in this notice. Privacy and support requests can be sent to support@kanpa.xyz.

2. Data we may process

• email address and authentication/session information when you sign in;
• Quick Scout requests and related technical request information;
• anonymous usage events such as page views, Quick Scout use and checkout starts, associated with a random browser identifier rather than your name or email;
• IP-derived abuse-prevention identifiers, which Scout hashes before centralized rate-limit storage;
• device/browser and push-subscription information when you enable notifications;
• operational logs, error information and security events needed to run and protect the service;
• account access, plan and entitlement information;
• billing identifiers and subscription status when you subscribe to a paid plan.

3. Why we process it

• to provide and secure the website and Scout;
• to authenticate users and enforce account access;
• to understand aggregate product usage and improve the service;
• to prevent abuse and enforce rate limits;
• to send notifications you choose to enable;
• to operate, troubleshoot and improve service reliability;
• to administer subscriptions and payments;
• to comply with legal obligations and protect legitimate rights.

4. Service providers

Scout uses third-party infrastructure and data providers where needed to operate the service, including hosting, authentication/database, email, market and blockchain data, social-data providers and payment processing. Those providers may process limited data on Kanpa's behalf or as independent providers under their own terms.

5. Cookies and local storage

Scout may use cookies or similar browser storage that are necessary for authentication, security, session continuity, product functionality and a random anonymous analytics identifier used to count aggregate product usage. Kanpa does not intend to add non-essential behavioral advertising or marketing tracking without first implementing the appropriate transparency and consent controls where required.

6. Retention

Data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including security, account, contractual, accounting and legal requirements. Different categories of data may have different retention periods.

7. International processing

Some infrastructure or service providers may process data in more than one country. Where required, Kanpa will use the legal safeguards applicable to the relevant transfer and provider relationship.

8. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability of your personal data. You can submit a privacy request at support@kanpa.xyz.

9. Security

Kanpa uses technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the service, but no online system can be guaranteed completely secure.

10. Changes

This notice may be updated as Scout changes, new providers are added, or legal requirements evolve. The current version will remain available at this location.
