What data Cheaplyfly collects and why

We collect only what we need to run Cheaplyfly and keep it secure. This article is a short, practical summary. Our privacy policy is the full, official version.

If you only search

• Your search: route, dates, travelers and cabin, so we can show results.
• Approximate location: worked out from your internet connection, never from GPS, to choose your currency and nearest airport.
• Technical data: such as browser type, and a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address used for security and to limit abuse.
• A few essential cookies: for example, to remember your currency and your cookie choice.

If you create a price alert

We store your email address and the alert details (route, dates, currency and target) so we can check prices and email you. Guests confirm their email before the alert starts.

If you have an account

• Account data: name, email address and password. Passwords are stored only as a secure hash, never as readable text.
• Preferences: home airport, currency, photo and email settings.
• Activity: saved items, price alerts, search history (if the site keeps it) and deals you opened with partners.
• Notifications shown in your dashboard.

If you contact us

We keep your name, email address, the topic and your message so we can reply.

What we never collect

We never collect payment card details. You pay partners directly on their sites.

Why we use it

• To run searches, results, alerts and your account.
• To send emails you asked for: alerts, account emails and newsletters if you subscribed.
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
• To understand and improve the site, with your consent where required.

Who we share it with

We don’t sell your personal data. When you open a deal, the link passes your search details to the partner. We also use service providers for hosting, email delivery and, with your consent, analytics.

How long we keep it

• Account data: while your account is open.
• Search history: until you clear it or delete your account.
• Finished price alerts: removed automatically.
• Security logs: for a limited period.
