Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5/23/2025

Introduction

At Flightbase, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

We collect information that you provide directly to us, including:

  • Email address
  • Flight-related information from Gmail accounts (if connected)
  • Account preferences and settings

Gmail Account Information

If you choose to connect your Gmail account to Flightbase, we will access your Gmail inbox to search for flight-related emails (such as booking confirmations). We only collect flight-specific details such as departure and arrival airports, dates, airlines, and times. We do not access or store the body content of your emails, email addresses of senders/recipients, or any other personal correspondence.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide and maintain our service
  • Process your flight data and generate insights
  • Communicate with you about your account
  • Improve and personalize your experience

Gmail Data Usage

Flightbase uses the information extracted from your Gmail account solely to build your flight history dashboard and generate related insights. Your Gmail data is never shared with third parties and is used exclusively for your personal account experience within Flightbase.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. We follow industry-standard security practices to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest. Access to your Gmail account is managed securely via OAuth 2.0, and your Gmail credentials are never stored on our servers.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services such as Google OAuth for authentication and access to Gmail inboxes to extract flight-related information. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

Google API Disclosure

Flightbase's use of information received from Gmail APIs will adhere to Google's Limited Use Requirements. We only request access to Gmail data to identify flight confirmation emails and extract basic travel details. We do not use Gmail data for any other purpose such as advertising, marketing, or analytics unrelated to your personal Flightbase account.
You can revoke Flightbase's access to your Gmail data at any time by visiting your Google Account's security settings.

Disclosure of Google User Data

Flightbase does not share, transfer, or disclose any information obtained from your Gmail account with third parties, except as required by law or with your explicit consent. All data accessed via Google APIs is used solely to provide you with your personal flight history dashboard and related features. We do not use this data for advertising, analytics unrelated to your account, or for any other commercial purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal information
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt-out of certain data processing
