LEGAL · PRIVACY POLICY
SCOUT is a multi-agent AI platform built by Michael Labs. Your missions, your data, your machine. This policy explains what we collect — intentionally very little — and how you stay in control.
This Privacy Policy applies to the SCOUT macOS application and any related services operated by Michael Labs LLC (“Michael Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Michael Labs LLC is a Michigan limited liability company and the operator of SCOUT. By downloading, installing, or using SCOUT, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.
SCOUT collects only what you deliberately hand over:
SCOUT captures limited diagnostic telemetry so we can keep the helm reliable:
We are intentional about the signal we ignore:
We use the information SCOUT collects for a small, defined set of purposes:
We do not sell your data. We do not run advertising in SCOUT. We do not train third-party foundation models on your mission content.
SCOUT is local-first. Your mission content, agent history, and connected-integration cache are stored in SCOUT’s app sandbox on your Mac. Michael Labs does not run central servers that hold your mission content.
Sensitive credentials — OAuth tokens, API keys, and refresh tokens — are stored in the macOS Keychain with the standard OS-level protections (hardware-backed encryption where available, per-app access control, and Touch ID / Face ID gating when you enable it).
We rely on Apple’s platform security posture (code signing, app sandboxing, file protection classes, transport security) for data at rest on your device and in transit to third-party services.
No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You can access, export, or delete your mission data and agent history directly within the SCOUT app at any time. Disconnecting an integration revokes SCOUT’s access to that third-party service; you can also revoke tokens from the provider’s own security dashboard. Uninstalling SCOUT removes locally stored data from your Mac.
California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion of personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at the address below.
If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing. Our lawful basis for processing is primarily our legitimate interests in providing and improving SCOUT, performance of our contract with you, and your explicit consent for optional features such as third-party LLM reasoning.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@michaellabs.org.
SCOUT is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by updating the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Your continued use of SCOUT after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, we are here to help.
