Privacy policy
AerFind finds cheap flights from Irish airports and tells you about them. This page explains what we store about you, why, and what you can do about it. We have tried to keep it short and plain.
Who is responsible
AerFind is run by [operator name not set], based in Cork, Ireland. For anything about your data, email aerfind.deals@gmail.com.
What we store
- Your account: your email address and, if you set one, your password. The password is stored only in a scrambled form (a salted hash) that we cannot read. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and an ID for your Google account from Google. We get nothing else: no contacts, no profile, no access to your mail.
- Your choices: the airports you fly from, places on your watchlist and any target prices, places you have blocked, and how you want to be alerted.
- Where to send your alerts: the email address for deal emails, if it is different from your account email.
- The invite code you joined with, if you used one.
- If you registered interest while we were full: only your email address, so we can tell you when a place opens. We delete it when you join, or whenever you ask.
- Simple usage counts: the days you used the app, which deals you opened and when you tapped a Book button. We keep these in our own database to see whether the app is useful. We do not use third-party analytics.
- Alerts we sent you, so we don't send the same deal twice.
We do not ask for your name, address, date of birth, passport or payment details, and we never see what you book. When you tap Book you go to the airline's own website.
Why we use it
- To run your account and show you deals that fit your airports and watchlist. This is needed to provide the service you signed up for.
- To send the deal emails and alerts you have switched on. You can stop these at any time in Settings, or with the link in every email.
- To keep the service secure and working, and to understand in general how it is used. We rely on our legitimate interest in running a reliable service.
We do not sell your data, show adverts or build advertising profiles.
Cookies
We set one cookie, called fd_session. It keeps you logged in for up to 90 days and is essential for the app to work, so it does not need a consent banner. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
The app also remembers your last filter choices in your browser's own storage. That information stays on your device.
Who else is involved
- Our hosting provider, which runs the server the app and its database live on.
- Our email provider (Google, or Resend), which delivers our emails. It receives your email address and the content of the email.
- Google, if you choose to sign in with Google. Google then knows that you use AerFind.
- Google Fonts, which supplies the typeface. When the app loads, your browser fetches the font from Google, which means Google sees your IP address.
Some of these companies are outside the EU. Where that is so, the transfer relies on the safeguards they provide, such as the EU standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
The flight price services we use receive only route and date searches. They get nothing about you.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as you have an account. You can delete your account in Settings at any time. That removes your account, watchlist, settings and alert history straight away. Usage counts are kept without any link to you.
Your rights
Under data protection law (GDPR) you can ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it, or ask us to restrict its use. Email aerfind.deals@gmail.com and we will answer within one month.
If you are not happy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.
Age
AerFind is for people aged 16 and over.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you by email or in the app before the change takes effect.
