Scan Flight Privacy Policy
**Effective Date: October 15, 2025**
Scan Flight ("We," "Us," or "Our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it secure, particularly in the context of our flight search and AI services.
1. Information We Collect
Scan Flight collects two types of information:
1.1 Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII)
This information is collected automatically when you use our services:
- Search Data: Origin, destination, travel dates, number of passengers, and selected travel class.
- Device Data: Browser type, IP address (used for general location), operating system, and referral source.
- Usage Data: Which links and buttons you click (e.g., clicking "Search Deals" or interacting with the AI tools).
- Affiliate Identifiers: We use cookies and unique affiliate tracking parameters to ensure we receive credit when you book on a partner site.
1.2 User-Provided Information (AI Tools)
We only collect this data when you actively use our AI tools:
- Itinerary/Advisory Input: Destination country, trip duration, and desired travel style. **We do not collect names, email addresses, or payment information.**
2. How We Use Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- Service Fulfillment: To process your search query and redirect you to the relevant Booking Partner (the primary use of search data).
- Service Improvement: To analyze usage patterns and optimize search speed, price accuracy, and feature performance.
- Affiliate Tracking: To verify successful referrals to our Booking Partners, allowing us to earn commission.
- AI Functionality: To formulate the prompt needed by the Gemini API to generate your custom itinerary or travel advisory summary.
3. Sharing of Information
3.1 Third-Party Partners
We share the minimum necessary Non-PII (search data and affiliate IDs) with the following parties:
- Booking Partners (Airlines/OTAs): When you click "Search Deals," we transfer your search parameters to them so they can display the final price and complete the booking.
- Google Gemini API: When you use the AI tools, the input (e.g., "5 days in Rome, luxury style") is sent to Google's LLM to generate the response.
- Analytics Providers: To understand user behavior and optimize the site (e.g., Google Analytics).
3.2 Personal Data
We do not sell or rent your personal data. Since we do not collect PII (names, emails, payment information), there is no sensitive personal data to share with third parties.
4. Your Choices and Security
- Cookies: You can configure your browser to reject cookies. However, this may affect our ability to provide certain features and accurately track our affiliate commissions.
- Data Security: We employ standard security measures appropriate for a comparison site (e.g., SSL/TLS encryption) to protect the data we do handle.
5. Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this policy as necessary to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. We will post any updates here.
