Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

BudgetJet ("we", "us") is a flight price discovery service. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and your rights under GDPR.

1. What we collect

• Email address — only if you voluntarily sign up for a price drop alert. We never collect email for any other purpose.
• Language preference — stored locally in your browser (localStorage). Never sent to our servers.
• Search parameters — origin airport, travel month, budget. Used only to return results. Not stored or linked to you.
• Rate-limit counter — a one-way hash of your IP address, used only to prevent abuse. The raw IP is never stored. Hash expires after 2 hours.

2. Why we collect email

Your email is collected solely to send you a notification when the specific flight price you asked to be alerted about drops below your target. We send one email per meaningful price drop. You can unsubscribe instantly with the link in every email.

Legal basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) — you give consent at the moment you submit the alert form.

3. What we do NOT collect

• No tracking cookies or advertising pixels
• No analytics (no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel)
• No account creation, no passwords
• No payment data
• No device fingerprinting

4. Data storage

Email alerts are stored in a secure database (Supabase, hosted in the EU). Your email is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. The hashed rate-limit counter is deleted automatically after 2 hours.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties. We use:

• Brevo (email delivery) — your email is passed to Brevo solely to deliver the alert you requested. Brevo is GDPR-compliant.
• Skyscanner / RapidAPI — receives only the origin airport, destination, and travel month to return flight prices. No personal data is shared.

6. Affiliate links

When you click "Book →", you are directed to Skyscanner via an affiliate link. Skyscanner may set its own cookies. We earn a small commission if you complete a booking. This does not affect your price.

7. Cookies and local storage

BudgetJet sets no tracking cookies. We store one item in your browser's localStorage: your language preference (e.g. "en", "hu"). This is purely functional and never leaves your device.

8. Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Delete your data at any time (use the unsubscribe link or email us)
• Withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing
• Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority

9. Contact

For any privacy request: privacy@budgetjet.app

10. Changes

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the date at the top. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
