Privacy Policy

🔒 Simple Summary 📝

You don't need to provide any personal information to use Flights25. If you choose to share personal details for certain features, we keep them safe and never sell them.

We only use anonymous data to make the app better.

Introduction

We want to be transparent about how we handle your data because that's what we expect from the services we use. We value your trust and treat your data with care and respect. By using our services, you agree to this privacy policy.

Using Flights25 doesn't require you to share private information. Most of the time, we don't know anything personal about you.

What We Collect

If you scan your boarding pass, camera access is required and will be used only for that purpose.
If you enable location access, we only use it to help locate you on the map or to provide better search suggestions with airports nearby. The location data is not retained and only remains for a session and is forgotten afterwards.
If you have Flights25 Premium and enable Live SMS Alerts, we will need to store the phone number you enter on our servers in order to send you SMS. The phone number is only stored until the live update expires (approx. 48 hours after flight landing) and will be deleted afterwards.
We use random alphanumeric tokens to keep you logged in and send you push notifications. Our server software stores basic technical information, such as your IP address.

Analytics

Flights25 gathers anonymous data, like how frequently certain features are used, to enhance the app.
