For the Member
The privacy questions members ask.
Taking part means a verified profile and a set of affiliations sit inside a private network.
It is reasonable to want to know exactly what that means before joining.
These are the questions this page will answer.
The questions
What a member wants to know.
Phrased as questions on purpose.
The answers belong in the platform documentation, which is not written yet.
- What can other members see about me?
- What can my organization see about me?
- What does someone learn about me when Scout proposes a connection?
- What did I contribute, and what was taken from the records my organization supplied?
- How do I correct something that is wrong?
- What happens if I no longer want to take part?
Why it matters here
A network built on affiliation asks more of a member.
Scout works by knowing where you belong and what you can offer, which is more than a directory listing holds.
A member deciding whether to participate is entitled to see how that information is treated before they add any of it.
This documentation is not published yet. Nothing on this page should be read as a commitment about how data is handled — it sets out the questions the documentation will answer, not the answers.
The platform detail
One place, when it exists.
Rather than two versions that drift apart, the platform documentation will live in one place and this page will point at it.

Where to go from here
Worth asking before you join.
The documentation is still being written.
In the meantime, see what taking part actually involves.
