Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GetScopeVerified.com and Scope Verified (collectively, “Scope Verified,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, browse directory listings, submit a referral or intake request, request access to gated features, claim or update a company profile, or otherwise interact with our services.

This policy is modeled after the coverage standard commonly used by large consumer marketplace privacy policies, while being tailored specifically to the Scope Verified directory, trust-review workflows, and referral-based operating model.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information you provide directly to us, information collected automatically through your use of the site, and information related to businesses, projects, or submissions made through the platform.

• Contact information, such as your name, email address, company name, and any information you choose to include in a message or form submission.
• Project or referral information, such as location, scope, budget range, schedule, procurement context, and fit-related notes submitted through referral, access, or inquiry workflows.
• Company listing and claim information, such as business contact details, evidence or verification support materials, correction requests, and listing updates submitted for manual review.
• Usage information, such as page visits, searches, profile views, clicks, referral activity, access-state interactions, and similar site activity used to improve the platform and understand demand.
• Technical information, such as browser type, device data, approximate location derived from IP address, and event-level analytics data collected to operate, secure, and improve the site.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to operate the directory, evaluate trust and fit, improve the product, and communicate regarding submissions or account-related activity.

• Operate, maintain, and improve GetScopeVerified.com and related Scope Verified experiences.
• Review referral, intake, access, claim, correction, and verification-related submissions.
• Evaluate whether a request appears legitimate, relevant, and appropriate for manual follow-up or matching.
• Display, maintain, or update directory content and company profile information.
• Analyze usage patterns, conversion activity, and product behavior to improve performance, trust, and usability.
• Detect, investigate, and help prevent fraud, abuse, misuse, security issues, or unauthorized activity.
• Comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights, users, and business operations.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, analytics tools, and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, improve navigation and performance, measure conversion activity, and support site functionality.

Our current operating approach is intended to be privacy-conscious. We seek to minimize unnecessary data capture and avoid retaining more detailed query-string or behavioral data than is reasonably needed for the platform to function and improve.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information in the ordinary course of operating Scope Verified. We may share information in limited circumstances consistent with operating a directory and referral platform.

• With service providers, vendors, or infrastructure partners that help us host, secure, analyze, or operate the website and related workflows.
• With business profiles, project contacts, or relevant parties when doing so is necessary to process a referral, evaluate a claim, review a submission, or facilitate a requested interaction.
• With legal, regulatory, or enforcement authorities when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, property, or platform integrity.
• As part of a transaction involving reorganization, financing, sale, merger, or transfer of some or all of our business or assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.

6. User Submissions and Directory Workflows

If you submit a referral request, claim a profile, request a correction, submit verification support, or request access to gated features, we may use and retain the submitted information to review the request, assess credibility, follow up, maintain business records, and improve the quality and trustworthiness of the platform.

Submission of information does not guarantee publication, approval, access, matching, referral, or any business outcome.

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights regarding access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information. You may also have choices regarding cookies or certain communications.

We will review privacy-related requests in good faith and respond as required by applicable law, subject to verification, operational constraints, legal obligations, and recordkeeping needs.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the website, maintain records, support trust and fraud-prevention review, complete requested workflows, improve the product, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes or enforce agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and whether it remains relevant to business, operational, compliance, or security needs.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

GetScopeVerified.com may link to third-party websites, business profiles, partner pages, or external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third parties, and you should review their policies separately.

11. Children’s Privacy

GetScopeVerified.com is intended for business, project, directory, and procurement-related use and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the platform.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, services, legal requirements, or operating model. When we do, we will update the effective date on this page. Your continued use of the site after an update means the updated policy will apply going forward, subject to applicable law.
