Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how GuestResearcher(“we,” “us,” or “our”) approaches information during our pre-launch period. GuestResearcher is currently a preview website. Many of the features described elsewhere on the site are not yet operational.
1. Pre-launch status
The site does not currently offer accounts, listings, payments, or messaging. Any forms shown — including the early-access interest form — are previews of the planned experience and are not connected to a backend or database. Submitting them does not transmit or store your information.
2. Information we collect
Other than the standard technical data and analytics described in sections 3–5, the site is in preview and we do not collect, store, or process personal information through it. If, in the future, we enable features that collect information (for example, account creation or verification), we will update this policy and present clear notice before any collection occurs.
3. Standard technical data
Like most websites, our hosting provider may process limited technical information — such as IP address and basic request logs — for security and reliability. This is handled by our infrastructure providers and is not used by us to identify individuals during the preview period.
4. Cookies
We do not set advertising cookies. We use a privacy-conscious analytics tool (see the Analytics section below), which may set basic measurement cookies or similar storage. Browser privacy settings and tracker-blocking tools can prevent these.
5. Analytics
We use analytics to understand site traffic, which pages are used, and where people run into friction — so we can improve the housing, marketplace, hub, verification, and event experiences. Like most websites, this means our analytics provider receives basic technical information such as device type, browser, approximate region, and the pages viewed.
Our analytics events are deliberately designed not to include message contents, private listing details, exact or private addresses, phone numbers, names, email addresses, or verification codes. We also avoid sending the text you type into search and the private parts of page web addresses.
Browser privacy tools, extensions, or settings may block analytics entirely, and the site works the same either way.
6. Children’s privacy
GuestResearcher is intended for adult researchers and professionals and is not directed to children under 16.
7. Changes to this policy
As we build toward launch, this policy will evolve to reflect the features we actually offer. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
