Who We Are
Market Field Guide is an independent media and referral publication operated by WhiteBoston LLC. The site publishes market guides, local context, expert profiles, and referral paths for readers who want to connect with licensed real estate professionals in specific markets.
Market Field Guide is not a real estate brokerage. Licensed real estate guidance is provided by the recommended professional directly.
Information You Provide
When you email us, request an introduction, or contact a recommended professional through a link on the site, we may collect the information you choose to provide. This may include your name, email address, phone number, market of interest, preferred timeline, source page, expert requested, and the message or question you send.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the site, such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, government ID numbers, medical information, or detailed confidential transaction documents.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, we may collect basic technical and usage information when you visit the site. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, and general interaction data.
We use Cloudflare for hosting, security, and performance. We may also use Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic, diagnose errors, protect the site, and improve content.
We use a lightweight internal contact-click tracker to understand when visitors click phone, text message, or email links on our website. This tracker records the type of contact link clicked, the page where the click occurred, the referring page when available, basic device screen width, and a short link label. It does not record pageviews, browsing sessions, form submissions, message contents, or information typed into forms. The tracker respects browser Do Not Track signals where available.
How We Use Information
We use information to respond to reader inquiries, route local introduction requests when appropriate, improve guides and expert profiles, maintain records, prevent spam or misuse, troubleshoot technical issues, and comply with legal obligations.
We may also use aggregated or de-identified information to understand which markets, guides, or pages are useful to readers.
Local Expert Referrals
If you ask to be connected with a recommended local expert, we may share your submitted information with that licensed professional, their brokerage or team, and related service providers needed to process the request. The expert may contact you directly using the information you provided.
Once your information is shared with a local expert, their own privacy practices, brokerage policies, licensing duties, and communication practices may apply.
Service Providers
We may share information with vendors that help operate the site, including hosting providers, database providers, security tools, analytics providers, email providers, notification tools, and professional advisors. These providers may process information only as needed to perform services for us.
Legal, Safety, And Business Reasons
We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our terms, protect the rights or safety of readers, experts, WhiteBoston LLC, or others, prevent fraud or abuse, or transfer information as part of a business transaction involving the site.
Marketing And Communications
If you email us or ask to be connected with a recommended professional, you consent to being contacted about your inquiry by Market Field Guide, WhiteBoston LLC, or the recommended local expert connected to your request. You can ask us to stop contacting you by using the contact information below. If a licensed professional contacts you directly, you may need to opt out with that professional as well.
Cookies And Tracking Choices
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site features or analytics accuracy. The site does not currently run a user account system or targeted advertising program. Analytics are not used to sell your data or build a cross-site advertising profile.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep submitted information for as long as reasonably needed to respond to inquiries, maintain referral records, improve the site, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and keep business records. We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed.
Your Choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted to Market Field Guide. We may need to verify your request and may retain information when necessary for legal, security, or legitimate business reasons.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under state law. If you believe those rights apply, contact us and describe your request. We do not sell personal information for money.
Children
The site is intended for adults researching real estate markets and local experts. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect submitted information. No website, database, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
External Links
The site links to local expert sites, brokerage sites, public sources, government pages, and other third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or availability of those third-party sites.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this policy as the site, technology, laws, or business practices change. The effective date above shows when this page was last updated.
