Data About Cannabis Businesses

FieldNote displays information about Washington cannabis licensees that is derived from public state records, including:

  • License information from the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB)
  • Sales and inventory data from the Cannabis Central Reporting System (CCRS)
  • Enforcement actions and violations from public records

This business information is publicly available through Washington State's public records laws. We aggregate and present this data to provide market intelligence, but we do not collect or store any private business information.

If you are a licensee and believe information about your business is inaccurate, please contact us and we will investigate. Note that our data reflects official state records, so corrections may need to be made at the source.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure authentication via magic link email (no passwords stored)
  • Database encryption at rest
  • Regular security reviews and updates

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes.
