Privacy & notification settings
Control who can see your profile, who can message you, and how you're notified about activity.
ScoutEvo gives you control over your visibility and how you receive notifications. Open the menu under your profile picture (top right) to reach Edit Profile, notification settings, and account settings.
Profile visibility
Your profile is only visible to logged-in ScoutEvo users — it is never indexed by search engines or accessible to the public internet. Events on the Events board are public, but attendees are never named publicly; see Events for who can see attendance.
For minor players (under 18), profiles are hidden from all other users until a parent or guardian confirms consent via email.
Message permissions
Go to Edit Profile and find Who can message you:
- Anyone — any logged-in user can message you
- Connections only — only users you're connected with can message you
- Nobody — messaging disabled
Note
Setting messages to "Nobody" will prevent scouts and coaches from contacting you directly. We recommend "Anyone" or "Connections only" for players seeking recruitment.
Contact info visibility
Your contact details (email, phone, social links) have their own visibility setting under Edit Profile → Contact. Options are Everyone, Connections only, or Hidden.
Notification settings
Go to Settings → Notifications to control what you're notified about and how:
- New messages
- Connection requests and acceptances
- Post likes and comments
- Recruiting inquiries
- Watchlist additions (players only)
- New followers
- Saved search matches (staff only)
- Weekly events email (new events near you)
For each notification type you can choose In-app only or In-app and email. Turning off email for a type still shows the notification in the bell icon — you just won't get an email.
Account deletion
To delete your account entirely, go to Settings → Account and use the Delete Account option. To request a copy of your data, email privacy@scoutevo.com.
