Privacy policy

Last updated September 24, 2026

FlightFare tracks Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines fares for trips you choose, and tells you when prices change. This page explains what we collect and why, and it covers both the website and the iPhone app. FlightFare is an independent service and is not affiliated with any of these airlines.

What we collect

• Your email address, to create your account, sign you in, and send price alerts.
• Your password, if you set one. We store only a secure one-way hash, never the password itself.
• If you sign in with Google: your email address and Google's account identifier, used only to sign you in. We don't receive your Google password, contacts, or anything else.
• If you sign in with Apple: your email address and Apple's account identifier, used only to sign you in. Choosing "Hide My Email" means Apple gives us a relay address instead of your real one; that works fine, and your alerts reach you through it.
• If you use the iPhone app and allow notifications: the notification token Apple issues for that device, so we can send price alerts to it. It identifies the app on your phone, not you, and we delete it when you sign out or when Apple tells us the app is gone.
• Your trips: airports, dates, optional flight numbers, cabin, and alert settings, plus the fares we find for them.
• Anonymous page-view counts per day. These aren't tied to you or your device.

How we use it

Only to run FlightFare: checking fares for your trips, showing them to you, and emailing you about price changes. We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't use it for advertising.

Services we rely on

• Amazon Web Services hosts our servers and database.
• GitHub Pages hosts this website.
• Resend delivers our emails.
• Google provides the optional "Continue with Google" sign-in.
• Apple provides "Sign in with Apple", and delivers notifications to the iPhone app.

Fares come from each airline's own public website.

Cookies and storage

We keep your sign-in in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in. The iPhone app keeps it in the device keychain instead. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies, and the app contains no analytics or advertising code of any kind.

Your choices

You can remove any trip at any time with "Stop tracking."

Deleting your account. In the iPhone app, open Account and choose Delete account. That removes your account, your trips and their price history straight away, and it can't be undone. On the website, email bigdaddyontheair@gmail.com from the address on your account and we'll do the same.

You can turn notifications off at any time in iOS Settings, or by signing out of the app, which forgets that device.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
