Scout says all video footage is encrypted when sent to the cloud, and Roberts says all messaging is sent with AES 128-Bit encryption. "I would say that customers can rest easy with Scout and know there's no ad platform, there's no other product line that would benefit from the data of what's going on inside the house, and we're very sensitive about that," said Roberts. But because Scout is so easily integrated with other devices, it's still beneficial to read the privacy policy and terms and conditions of other third parties to understand better what rights each company has to your information.
