Privacy policy
Last updated October 24, 2026
Draft: pending legal review; the bracketed operator details are still to be completed.
The short version
We collect the minimum needed to run the service: the routes you search, cached by route rather than by person, and anonymous usage statistics. There are no accounts. We don't run ads, we don't sell data, and we don't use tracking cookies.
Who we are
ihateflying.org is operated by [OPERATOR NAME / ENTITY]. For anything in this policy, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL].
What we collect, and why
Nothing that identifies you. Flight searches are processed to answer your query and cached by route (not by person). Anonymous, cookieless analytics (Vercel Analytics) tell us which pages are used. They do not identify you or follow you across sites.
Accounts: the site no longer has accounts (removed 24 October 2026). If you made one before then, its email address is all we hold, and we delete it on request (see Your rights).
Cookies
We set no cookies for visitors. Small preferences, such as a notice you have closed, are remembered in your own browser's storage and never sent to us. Our analytics (Vercel Analytics) is cookieless by design.
Who processes data for us
Supabase (database) and Vercel (hosting and anonymous analytics). Each processes data under their own published terms and safeguards. Flight and weather data shown to you comes from public sources (NTSB, FAA, NOAA, OpenSky, and others listed on our methodology page). Your queries to us are not shared with them in an identifying form.
Retention
Email addresses from accounts made before 24 October 2026 are kept until you ask us to delete them. Cached route data is depersonalized and kept to improve the service. Server logs rotate automatically on our hosting provider's schedule.
Your rights
If you made an account before 24 October 2026, you can request a copy of your data, correction, or deletion by email: write to [CONTACT EMAIL] from that address and we'll confirm within 30 days. Depending on where you live (EU/EEA, UK, California, Korea, and elsewhere), these rights are also backed by law, and you may additionally complain to your local data-protection authority.
Children
The service isn't directed at children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we'll update the date above and note the change prominently. Continued use after a change means the updated policy applies.
