In short

Draft, to be reviewed before launch. You can search ServiceScout without an account. When you send a quote request, your details go only to the businesses you tick.

**Draft, to be reviewed before launch.**

## What we collect

- When you search: the page you visit, kept without your name.
- When you request a quote: your name, contact details, ZIP code and the job description.
- When a business claims a profile: the owner's name, role and contact details.

## Who we share it with

Only the businesses you choose, and the service providers that host our site and send email for us. We don't sell personal data.

## How long we keep it

Quote requests for 24 months, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

## Your choices

Ask for a copy of your data, a correction or deletion through our [contact page](https://servicescoutlocal.com/contact/). We reply within 30 days.

ServiceScout is free to use. We earn money from optional business upgrades, clearly labelled sponsored placements and, when you request a quote, from the businesses that receive it. None of these change how results are ordered.
