THE TYPE OF INFORMATION MODELSCOUTS.COM COLLECTS

HOW MODELSCOUTS.COM USES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU

Agents and scouts interested in contacting you will do so by clicking a contact button that they see on their account page. After they click the contact button, our system will send you an email. At no time, do we reveal your email address, phone number or any other contact information to anyone. If you choose to reply to the email the agent or scout has sent you, then your email address will be visible to them in your reply email. If you prefer not to have your email revealed in your reply email, please contact ModelScouts.com so that we may act as a liaison between you and the agent.
