Privacy Policy

The short version

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.

What we collect

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.

About that random identifier

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.

Lounge cards

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.

What we do NOT collect

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.

Usage analytics

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.

How your reports are used

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.

Service providers

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.

Data retention

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.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we’ll update the date above. Questions about privacy can be sent to contact@boardflight.com.
