Looking Up Your Flight…Resolving airline, origin, and departure time.
Last updated: August 2026. Written in plain language, because that’s the point.
BoardFlight has no accounts. We don’t ask for your name, email, or phone number. We use no tracking or advertising cookies, and we sell no data. The only thing we store is what you tell us about your security wait, so the estimate gets better for the next traveler.
When you look up a flight, we query flight schedule data for that flight number to build your estimate. When you choose to report how your security wait went, we store: the airport, the weekday and hour you were in line, your security lane type, and your report (faster / about right / slower, or the exact minutes if you enter them). We also store a random identifier your browser generates the first time you submit a report.
It’s a random string created and kept in your own browser’s storage. It isn’t linked to your name, email, or any account, because there are none. We use it only to prevent abuse, such as one person flooding an airport with fake reports. Clearing your browser’s site data removes it. A new one is created if you report again.
If you use the lounge directory and add a credit card to see what it covers, that card is stored only in your own browser’s local storage. It never reaches our servers, isn’t in any URL, and isn’t sent to analytics. We never see which cards you hold. Clearing your browser’s site data, or using the directory’s “clear all” control, removes it.
No names, emails, phone numbers, or accounts. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. No location tracking. No selling or sharing of personal data with advertisers.
We use anonymous, cookieless usage analytics (Vercel Analytics) to see which pages and flight lookups get used, so we know what to improve. It sets no cookies, doesn’t track you across other sites, and isn’t tied to your identity.
Reports are aggregated to improve security-wait estimates by airport, weekday, and hour. The improvement everyone sees is statistical, built from many reports combined rather than from any single identifiable person.
We use standard infrastructure to run the site: a hosting provider, a database provider, and a flight-data provider. They process data only to make BoardFlight work, not for their own marketing.
Report data powers the model and is pruned on a rolling window. Because reports aren’t tied to your identity, they can’t be traced back to you individually.
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above. Questions about privacy can be sent to contact@boardflight.com.
