1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

Account information: name, email address, phone number, and password when you register
Business information: business name, address, phone, website, and other details when you claim or create a listing

Communications: messages you send through our contact forms or inquiry system
Usage data: pages visited, search queries, and interactions with listings

2. How We Use Google Business Profile Data

When you choose to verify your business using Google Business Profile, we request access to your managed business locations solely to verify that you are the owner or manager of the listing you are claiming on OnlyTopic. We do not store your Google Business Profile data beyond what is necessary to complete the verification. We do not share this data with third parties, and we do not use it for advertising purposes.
