Privacy / Information Collection Notice
This page explains how information submitted through JoshPorthouse.com may be collected, used, retained, and disclosed in connection with requested services, report delivery, consultations, and related communications.
The notice is written in a disciplined, transparency-first style inspired by the structure of a 1974 Privacy Act-type disclosure, while making no claim of government status or federal agency authority.
A Transparency-First Notice
This website is intended to provide housing intelligence, real estate guidance, consultation scheduling, report delivery, and direct contact options for users interested in Tampa Bay residential real estate matters.
To support those functions, limited personal information may be requested or received. This notice is provided so visitors understand what may be collected, why it may be collected, how it may be used, how long it may be retained, and under what circumstances it may be disclosed.
Collection is intended to be limited, purpose-specific, and tied to the request the visitor has made.

- General location, community, or market of interest
- Consultation preferences or scheduling information
- Questions, comments, or message content submitted through forms
- General interaction data associated with the functioning of the website, form tools, or connected CRM systems
Information is generally collected only when voluntarily submitted by the user, or when basic technical information is generated as part of operating the website, analytics tools, scheduling tools, or form systems.

How Long Information May Be Retained
Information may be retained for reasonable business purposes, including communication continuity, client service, recordkeeping, compliance needs, consultation history, CRM administration, and follow-up associated with the request the user has made.
Retention periods may vary depending on:
- Whether the information relates to a one-time inquiry or an ongoing service relationship
- Whether the user has requested continuing communication
- Whether recordkeeping is required for business, brokerage, or compliance reasons
- Whether continued retention is reasonably necessary to document prior communications or transactions
When continued retention is no longer reasonably necessary, information may be deleted, archived, or removed from active use in accordance with applicable operational practices.
When Information May Be Shared

Any such sharing is intended to remain limited to what is reasonably necessary for the purpose at issue.
