Who we are
Scoutadelic is a creative project focused on Scouting, community, and storytelling.
Our website address is: https://scoutadelic.com
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is used, you can contact us at:

What personal data we collect and why
We only collect personal data when it’s genuinely needed, and we never sell your data.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect spam and keep the site friendly and safe.
If you choose to leave a comment, your name and comment may be visible publicly on the website.
An anonymised string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you have a profile image associated with your email. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) may be visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media uploads
If you upload images to the website (for example via submissions or comments), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location data from images displayed publicly.
Contact forms and emails
If you contact Scoutadelic via a form or email, we will collect the information you provide (such as your name and email address) so we can respond. This information is only used for communication purposes and is not shared with third parties for marketing.
Cookies
Scoutadelic uses cookies to ensure the website works properly and provides a smooth experience.
- If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.
- A temporary cookie may be set to check whether your browser accepts cookies when you visit the login page. This contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
- If you log in, cookies are used to save login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to two weeks.
- If you edit or publish content, a cookie will be saved indicating the post ID. This contains no personal data and expires after one day.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages on Scoutadelic may include embedded content such as YouTube videos, Instagram posts, or other media. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website directly.
These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content, particularly if you are logged into their platform.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or trade your personal data.
Some data may be processed by trusted services to keep the site running safely, such as:
- Spam detection services for comments
- Hosting, security, and backup services
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How long we retain your data
- Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- If you register an account (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username). Website administrators can also view and edit this information.
Your data protection rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
These rights do not apply to data we must keep for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
To make a request, please contact us using the email address above.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data may be processed outside the UK where required by trusted service providers, but only in compliance with data protection laws.
Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website or legal requirements. The latest version will always be available on this page.
