Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how My San Juan Capistrano ("we", "us") handles information when you visit mysanjuancapistrano.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you give us. If you subscribe to our list, we collect the name, email address, and interests you enter in the subscribe form. If you email us, we receive whatever you send.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools record standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used in aggregate to understand traffic and improve the guide.

Concierge chat. Messages you send to our AI concierge are processed to generate a reply. Do not send sensitive personal information through the chat.

Cookies and similar technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, measure traffic, and serve advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the Site may not work as well if you do.

Advertising

We use third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to keep the Site free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices. Google's own privacy practices are described in the Google Privacy & Terms.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, respond to your messages, send the newsletter and event updates you subscribed to, and measure advertising performance. We do not sell your personal information.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers that help us run the Site — hosting, database, email delivery, analytics, and advertising partners — and when required by law.

Email and unsubscribing

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send, or by emailing info@mysanjuancapistrano.com. We will remove your details from our subscriber list.

Your rights

Depending on where you live — including California under the CCPA/CPRA, and the EU/UK under the GDPR — you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of it (we do not sell it). To exercise any of these rights, email us and we will respond within the time required by law.

Children

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Third-party links

Our directories link to restaurants, hotels, venues, and official sites we do not control. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The revision date at the top will always reflect the current version.
