What actually happens with your data when you click a deal
Our full privacy policy covers this in legal-adjacent detail, but it's worth saying plainly in one place what actually happens, in order, when you use the site.
When you sign up for alerts
We store your email address, saved home airport, trip preferences, and subscription status — just enough to send relevant deal alerts and keep your saved preferences working.
When you click a flight deal while signed in
We record the destination, price, and departure date so we can later confirm whether that fare was actually purchased. Your browser also remembers your last-selected origin city and sort order locally, via localStorage — that stays on your device, never sent to us, and clearing your browser data clears it.
Who we actually share data with
- Clerk handles sign-in and account authentication.
- Resend delivers the emails we send you — deal alerts, verification, Away Mode follow-ups.
- Cloudflare hosts the site and stores account data.
- Travelpayouts is the booking-link network our fare links route through. A tracking code tied to your click is included so we can confirm whether the fare was purchased — Travelpayouts is the party that actually processes any resulting purchase, not us.
We do not sell personal data, to any of these or anyone else. Full details, including data retention and how to request deletion, are in our privacy policy — worth reading the real thing rather than taking a blog post's word for it.
