At SkyFlights, we know handing over personal details just to search for a flight can feel like a lot to ask. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what you can do about it written in plain language, not legal filler.
What We Collect
When you use SkyFlights, we typically collect:
- Search details for where you’re flying from and to, your travel dates, and passenger count. We need this to actually show you flights.
- Account information: if you create an account, that’s your name, email address, and password (stored securely, never in plain text).
- Booking details: if you book through us, we collect the information needed to complete that booking, such as passenger names and contact details. Payment information is processed by our payment partners, not stored directly on our servers.
- Device and usage data, things like your browser type, IP address, and how you interact with the site. This helps us fix bugs and understand which features actually get used.
- Fare alert preferences: If you sign up for price alerts, we store the routes and dates you’re tracking so we can notify you when something changes.
We don’t ask for more than we need to make your search and booking experience work properly.
How We Use It
Mostly, your information helps us do the obvious things: run your flight search, complete a booking, send you a fare alert you asked for, and keep the site running smoothly. We also use aggregated, non-identifying data to understand trends like which routes are searched most often so we can improve the service.
We don’t sell your personal information. If that ever changes, it won’t happen quietly we’d update this page and, where required, ask for your consent first.
Who We Share Information With
To actually get you a flight, some information has to pass to the airline or travel partner you’re booking with that’s unavoidable. Beyond that, we work with a small number of trusted service providers (such as payment processors and hosting providers) who handle data on our behalf, under agreements that require them to protect it.
We don’t hand your data over to advertisers for targeted marketing, and we don’t share it with third parties for purposes unrelated to running SkyFlights.
Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies—small files stored in your browser to remember things like your search preferences and keep you logged in. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings, though some parts of the site (like saved searches) may not work as well without them.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep account and booking information for as long as your account is active, or as long as we’re legally required to for things like tax and booking records. If you delete your account, we remove your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where we’re required to retain certain records by law.
Your Choices
You have a say in how your information is handled. You can:
- Access or update your account information at any time
- Unsubscribe from fare alerts or marketing emails with one click
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to delete your account and associated data
If you want to exercise any of these, just reach out contact details are below.
Keeping Your Data Secure
We use standard security measures encryption in transit, restricted access to personal data, and regular reviews of our systems to keep your information safe. No system is completely immune to risk, but we take this seriously and act quickly if anything looks off.
Children’s Privacy
SkyFlights isn’t intended for use by children, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If we learn that we’ve collected data from a child without appropriate consent, we’ll delete it.
Changes to This Policy
As SkyFlights grows, this policy might need updates too. When that happens, we’ll revise the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, let you know directly rather than burying it in fine print.
