This Privacy Policy explains how SkybirdFly ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use our website at skybirdfly.com.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Account data: Name, email address, and password when you register.
- Profile data: Home airport, preferred currency, language, mobile number (optional).
- Search data: Flight and car rental searches you perform.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data: Pages visited, search queries, timestamps, response times.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, session identifiers.
- Cookies: We use session cookies for authentication and preference cookies (currency, language).
Information from third parties
- If you sign in with Google OAuth, we receive your name, email, profile picture, and a unique Google account ID. We do not receive your Google password.
2. How we use your information
- To operate and provide the SkybirdFly search service.
- To personalize your experience (home airport, currency, language).
- To show your search history in your account dashboard.
- To improve our platform through anonymous analytics.
- To communicate with you about your account (if needed).
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.
3. Data sharing
When you click a "Book" or "Compare Deals" link, you are redirected to a third-party website (airline, OTA, or car rental provider). We share only the search parameters needed to pre-fill the booking form (e.g., route, dates). The third party's own privacy policy applies once you leave SkybirdFly.
API providers we use: Amadeus S.A.S (flight data), Rentalcars.com, Discover Cars. These providers receive search query data only — never your personal account information.
4. Data storage & security
- Your data is stored in a secure database on servers located in India.
- Passwords are hashed using bcrypt — we cannot read your password.
- All connections to SkybirdFly are secured via HTTPS/TLS.
- We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion at any time.
5. Cookies
We use minimal cookies:
- Session cookie: Keeps you logged in during your visit.
- Preference cookies: Stores your selected language and currency.
- CSRF token: Security cookie to protect form submissions.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
6. Your rights
You have the right to: access the data we hold about you; correct inaccurate data; request deletion of your account and data; withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email us at privacy@skybirdfly.com.
