Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Near Me by TopTrendingToday collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website at near-me.toptrendingtoday.com. We have designed our service to require minimal data and respect user privacy.

Who we are

Near Me by TopTrendingToday is operated by TopTrendingToday, a website publisher building free, ad-supported web tools. Our main site is at toptrendingtoday.com. This privacy policy covers the subdomain near-me.toptrendingtoday.com and all paths under it.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

We only collect information you actively choose to share with us:

• Email correspondence: When you email us at feedback@toptrendingtoday.com, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
• City search input: When you type a city name into a search field, that text is sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to convert into geographic coordinates. We do not retain or log these searches on our servers.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our servers automatically receive certain technical information when you visit:

• IP address: Used by our hosting provider for security and load balancing.
• Browser type and version: Standard HTTP headers sent by your browser.
• Operating system: Detected from browser headers.
• Referring website: The page you came from, if any.
• Pages viewed and time spent: For service improvement.

Location data (your device, not our servers)

Our location finder tools use your device's GPS or browser geolocation services. This is critical to understand:

• When you click "Find Near Me," your browser asks for permission to share your location.
• If you grant permission, your latitude and longitude are sent directly to OpenStreetMap servers through the Overpass API.
• We do not receive, store, or log your location data on our servers.
• You can deny location access and use the city search feature instead.
• You can revoke location permission at any time through your browser settings.

Third-party services and data transfers

Our website uses the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy that governs their data practices:

OpenStreetMap

We use OpenStreetMap for map data and tile imagery. When you view a map, your browser requests map tiles from OpenStreetMap's servers. This means OpenStreetMap may receive your IP address and the geographic area you are viewing. See OpenStreetMap's Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads. See Google's advertising policies and Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Maps (directions)

When you click "Get directions" on a location result, you are redirected to Google Maps. Once you leave our site, Google's privacy policy applies. We do not control what data Google collects after redirection.

Hostinger (web hosting)

Our website is hosted by Hostinger, which maintains server logs for security and operational purposes. See Hostinger's Privacy Policy.
