Privacy baseline for the controlled beta.

The project is operated under the HornScout brand while HornScout, S.L. is in formation and pending registration. Until final incorporation details are available, this notice identifies the project operator as the provisional contact point.

Depending on your interaction with HornScout, we may process account email, invitation/access status, authentication/session data, language and preferences, product usage, technical logs, support communications and beta feedback.

Data is used to provide and secure the service, manage controlled access, support users, improve product quality, investigate incidents, comply with legal obligations and communicate beta or account information.

The expected legal bases may include performance of a contract or pre-contractual relationship, legitimate interest in operating and securing the beta, consent where required and compliance with legal obligations. This framing is pending legal review.

Besides your own data, HornScout publishes information from official registers that names people: the officers, directors and major shareholders of the listed companies you can browse here. It comes from the filings those people are required by law to submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and we show it as the register records it, with a link to the original document.

We do not obtain it from the person concerned but from the public register, which is why we set it out here. It always concerns how someone acted in a professional role at a listed company, never their private life. We do not build profiles of these individuals and we take no automated decisions about them: the product's analysis is about the company, not about whoever signed the filing.

The purpose is to report facts that the law requires to be disclosed. The expected legal basis is our legitimate interest in informing readers from a register that is public by legal mandate, weighed against the rights of the person named. That assessment, like the rest of this notice, is pending legal review.

Anyone named can object to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation, or ask for access, rectification or erasure, by writing to the privacy channel. No HornScout account is needed — identifying the filing or the company is enough. One limit we would rather state than leave you to discover: we are not the source. The original filing remains public at the SEC, and that part is outside our hands.

Data may be handled by technical service providers that support hosting, authentication, email, logs, analytics or security. For product-usage analytics we use Plausible — a cookieless, EU-hosted service that records only aggregate usage (no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles). The final provider list and data-processing terms must be confirmed before launch.

Error monitoring is provided by a third-party service (Sentry, EU region) to detect and fix faults you may encounter. Error reports are scrubbed of credentials, tokens and personal data before they are sent, identify users only by a pseudonymous account key, and never include session recordings. The processing basis is our legitimate interest in operating and securing the beta.

Where applicable, users may request access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction and portability. During beta, send requests to the privacy contact channel with the account email needed to identify the request. People named in public filings do not need an account: their route is described under third-party data above.

HornScout may use cookies or similar storage for authentication, language and security. Our product-usage analytics is cookieless and sets no analytics or advertising cookies. A specific cookie policy and international transfer assessment will be prepared if the final provider stack requires it.

HornScout applies reasonable technical and organizational measures for a pre-launch product. Data is kept only as long as needed for the beta, support, security, legal obligations or legitimate product operation, subject to final policy review.
