Top of Temecula ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website topoftemecula.com. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, and password. Business owners who claim a listing also provide business details including business name, address, phone number, category, website, and description.
User-Generated Content
We collect content you voluntarily submit, including reviews, questions, votes, saved favorites, and deal interactions. Reviews and questions are publicly visible and attributed to the display name on your account.
Payment Information
If you purchase a subscription or marketing boost, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor. We do not store your credit card number or full payment details on our servers. We retain a customer identifier and subscription status to manage your account.
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our site, we may collect your approximate location based on your IP address to provide location-relevant results. We track anonymous, aggregate interactions with business listings (views, clicks) to provide analytics to business owners. These interactions are not tied to your user account.
AI Features
When you use our AI-powered search feature, your question and relevant local business data are sent to a third-party AI service to generate a response. We cache answers for performance but do not permanently store your individual questions.
How We Use Your Information
