Privacy Policy: how CueScout handles your data

Last updated: May 29, 2026. This policy explains how CueScout handles data for the founder-safe community monitoring workflow.

What CueScout does

CueScout helps teams monitor configured public sources, review the buyer questions found there, plan and draft pages to publish on their own site, copy tracked links, and record outcomes.

CueScout is read-only on third-party platforms. It does not post, vote, comment, send direct messages, or operate your community accounts, and it does not ask you to connect one.

Information we collect

Account data such as your name, email address, authentication state, and password reset metadata.

Product setup data such as product names, descriptions, positioning notes, keywords, competitor keywords, target communities, excluded terms, brand voice samples, preferred call-to-action style, and forbidden claims.

Source and scan data such as configured platforms, connection state, scan requests, source health events, matched public posts, match reasons, lead feedback, writing-plan items, published page addresses you enter, copied tracked links, and revenue events you log or receive through connected billing webhooks.

Integration data needed to operate connected sources or providers, including OAuth tokens when you choose an OAuth path, API-key configuration state, webhook delivery metadata, and provider identifiers from billing or revenue systems.

Usage and diagnostics data such as page views, product events, error logs, IP-derived request metadata, browser/device information, and support messages.

How we use information

To create and secure your account, operate the app, run configured scans, build and display your writing plan, maintain tracked-link redirects, attribute outcomes, and show reports.

To improve lead matching, tune product setup quality, diagnose failed scans or billing webhooks, prevent abuse, respond to support requests, and understand product usage.

To send service messages such as account, billing, security, support, and operational notices.

Public and connected sources

CueScout may scan public conversations from configured sources such as Reddit, Hacker News, and Quora. Public scan mode does not require us to control your account.

Optional OAuth readiness may be used for source connection flows where available, but OAuth access is not a promise that a platform approves a specific use, prevents rate limits, or guarantees account safety.

You are responsible for using generated drafts and public-source information in a way that respects each platform, community, and applicable law.

AI-generated drafts

Writing-plan guidance is generated from product context and matched conversation context. What you publish, and where, is entirely your decision. CueScout does not connect to or act on any Reddit, Hacker News, or Quora account.

CueScout does not guarantee that a draft is accurate, compliant with a community rule, accepted by a platform, or suitable for every audience.

Analytics, tracked links, and billing webhooks

We may use product analytics tools such as PostHog, DataFast, and Microsoft Clarity to understand product usage and improve the workflow. When you are signed in, these tools may associate activity and session replays with your account. See the cookie policy for what each one records.

Tracked links may record redirect events and related campaign parameters so you can measure whether a published page led to visits or outcomes.

Billing webhooks are processed from our payment provider, Polar, to update subscription state, record revenue attribution, and prevent duplicate processing.

Sharing and processors

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers that help run the product, including hosting, database, authentication, analytics, AI, email, billing, logging, and support providers.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

Retention and security

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and maintain business records.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You can update product setup, disconnect supported integrations, request support, or ask us to delete account data subject to legal, security, billing, and backup retention limits.

You can control browser-level cookies and tracking settings. Some choices may affect product functionality.
