It is important to glance at the privacy policy before using any website and Flyingscanner believes in transparency with the website's users. Here are the major bullet points of our privacy policy that you need to look at before using the website. We are going to explain everything about the data collection, use of data and securing the data and personal information. Don’t worry you are safe with us. That includes our mobile app, website, customer service, and any other ways you interact with us (we call these the “Platforms”).
We’ll update this policy from time to time to keep it fresh, and we’ll always post the latest version here. If there are major changes, we’ll make sure to let you know—either the next time you use our Platforms or through other easy-to-spot updates.
When we say “personal data,” we’re talking about any information that can identify you as a person. This could be your name, email address, trip details, IP address, cookie data, or device IDs. It also includes information about how you use our Platforms if it’s connected to these details.
This Privacy Policy only covers how Flyingscanner handles your data. However, our Platforms feature services from other companies—like airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and travel agents. If you book with one of them, they’ll manage your data based on their privacy policies and terms.
To help you stay informed, we’ll always provide links to their privacy policies and terms before you complete any booking or purchase.
Flyingscanner isn’t meant for kids under 16. If you’re under 16, please don’t share your personal information with us. If we discover we’ve collected information from someone under 16 without permission from a parent or guardian, we’ll delete it as soon as we can.
We’ll update this Privacy Policy as needed to reflect any changes in how we operate or meet legal requirements. If we make big updates, we’ll notify you when you next use our Platforms or through another clear method.
