About SoleScout

SoleScout (solescout.store) is an Australian affiliate website that tracks running shoe deals on Amazon Australia and other retailers. We earn a commission when you click our links and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate Disclosure

SoleScout participates in the Amazon Associates Program and Commission Factory affiliate programs. This means we earn a small referral fee when you purchase through our links. Our editorial content is independent — we recommend products based on value, quality, and current pricing, not commission rates.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Cookies and analytics: We use standard analytics tools (including those provided by Shopify) to understand how visitors use our site — pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location. This data is aggregated and anonymous.
Pinterest Tag: We use the Pinterest Tag to measure the effectiveness of our Pinterest campaigns. This may collect information about your interactions with SoleScout if you came from Pinterest.
Log data: Our hosting provider (Shopify) automatically logs standard server data including IP addresses, browser type, and referring URLs.

Your Rights

Under Australian privacy law (the Privacy Act 1988), you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please contact us.
