Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Account details — your email address and a securely stored password (or your Google sign-in) when you create an account.
• Business claims and plans — which listings you claim and which paid plans you hold.
• Payments — handled by our payment processor. We never see or store your full card number.
• Forms — details you type into request, reservation, newsletter or photo forms.
• Basic technical data — such as browser type and pages visited, used to keep the site working and secure.
