How we handle your data

Last updated 5 Jul 2026

Your Synergy stays yours

If you add your Synergy or FastScout login to a paid tier, that access is used only to build your order. It stays client-side, never stored in ScoutRoom's own database, and never reused for another club.

We sell analysis, not data

Every deliverable is written scouting, a report, not a raw feed, a CSV, or database access. That's the line between analysing public stats and re-serving someone else's data.

Sources are credited

Where a report uses a third-party aggregator (e.g. HoopsDB shot-zone data), it says so on the page. Nothing sold is presented as ScoutRoom's own original collection when it isn't.

Conflict of interest

I'm the assistant coach and analytics/scouting lead at Geelong United, NBL1 South Women's. ScoutRoom sells opponent scouting to other programs, including other clubs in that same conference. I'm not hiding that: my club's committee knows ScoutRoom exists and operates inside the conference, and here's exactly how the conflict is managed.

Geelong United is never a subject

No ScoutRoom product is ever built about Geelong United, for anyone, at any price. If a club asks for a scout of Geelong United, the answer is no.

Nothing from my Geelong United role goes into a client product

Game plans, defensive calls, injury information, and any Synergy or FastScout access I use as staff stay inside the club. Every ScoutRoom deliverable is built from public box data, plus a client's own Synergy access if they add it, and my general coaching judgement, never from anything I know about an opponent because Geelong United is about to play them.

In-conference sales are fine, with one carve-out

Selling opponent scouting to other NBL1 South Women's clubs is allowed. The one carve-out: I never sell a club a product tied to its own fixture against Geelong United, and I never build or deliver a scout timed to help a club prepare for a game against GU, whatever its nominal subject.

No scout on a club during the week Geelong United plays them

I don't build or deliver a Teardown or Matchday pack on an opponent Geelong United is facing that same game week. That timing reads as a conflict even when the content is clean, so the order is delivered outside that week or declined.

Anything unclear gets paused, not assumed

A request that doesn't cleanly fit the rules above (a comparison involving Geelong United, a finals-adjacent case) gets decided on its own rather than forced into a general rule.
