Data Broker Notice

Scout Data · Last updated June 23, 2026

Scout Data is a data broker. This notice describes who we are, the categories of personal data we process, and how to exercise your privacy rights.

1. 01
   Who we are

   This site is operated by Scout Data, a data broker that aggregates permit, parcel, and contact information from public records and third-party data providers and resells it to businesses. We process personal data that was not collected directly from individuals.
2. 02
   Categories of personal data we process

   Scout Data collects, processes, and transfers personal data that was not collected directly from the individual. Categories include:

   • Permit records — owner name, property address, permit issue date, permit description, permit jurisdiction.
   • Property and parcel data — assessed value, square footage, year built, roof material, lot size, ownership history.
   • Contact information — phone numbers and email addresses appended to records via skip-trace and public-records vendors.
   • Owner demographics — age range, occupation, prior purchase history associated with a residence.
3. 03
   Sale of personal data and targeted advertising

   Scout Data sells personal data. We license the categories of data described above to business customers — typically solar installers, roofing and home-services contractors, and home-improvement retailers — for monetary consideration. Under both the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act and the California Consumer Privacy Act, this constitutes a “sale.”

   Scout Data does not engage in targeted advertising. We do not display advertisements selected based on a consumer’s activities over time and across non-affiliated websites or online applications.

   Scout Data uses profiling. We score property records to estimate likelihood of interest in home-services products (for example, solar suitability or roof condition signals). These scores are used by buyers as marketing inputs; Scout itself does not use them to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects (such as decisions about housing, financial services, employment, or insurance). Consumers may opt out of profiling regardless.

   You can opt out of any of the above at any time. Use the opt-out form or email privacy@scoutdata.com.

4. 04
   Children’s data

   Scout Data does not knowingly collect, process, or transfer personal data of children under 13. We also do not knowingly sell, target ads to, or profile minors aged 13 to 17. Our datasets are sourced from public property and permit records and from adult-targeted skip-trace providers; we do not collect age-of-minor signals and exclude any records flagged as belonging to minors by upstream providers.
5. 05
   Geographic exclusions

   Scout Data does not sell data of, or to, residents of Oregon or Vermont and does not knowingly collect or maintain such data for sale. Records of Oregon and Vermont residents are excluded from the storefront and from delivered CSVs, and orders placed from Oregon or Vermont IP addresses are blocked at checkout.
6. 06
   Precise geolocation

   Delivered datasets do not include latitude or longitude. Scout Data ships street address, city, state, ZIP, and county only. Buyers who need precise geolocation must derive it themselves and are responsible for compliance with sensitive-data rules under California SB 361 and equivalent state laws.
7. 07
   Compliance contact

8. 08
   Exercise your rights

   Texas and California residents have specific rights regarding their personal data, including the right to access, delete, and opt out of the sale of their data. Learn how to exercise your privacy rights →
