Plain-language privacy notice
Your email and visitor privacy.
This notice covers two separate email interest lists and the approximate visitor counter. Joining one email list does not add you to the other.
Who controls the data
BargainFlights is responsible for the email lists and the visitor counter. Privacy requests can be sent to bargainflights.eu@proton.me.
Flight-alert interest list
If you choose this list, we store your email address, signup time and consent version to measure interest in cheap-flight email alerts. No flight-alert emails are being sent yet. If they launch, this list will be used only for those alerts. You can withdraw before or after launch.
Airport-expansion list
If you choose the separate airport-expansion list, we store your email address, optional preferred departure airport, signup time and consent version. We use it to measure demand for more cities and contact you only about meaningful coverage news. This list is not used for flight-alert emails.
Consent and abuse prevention
Both email lists rely on the consent you give in their separate forms. To limit repeated signups, a one-way hash derived from the requesting IP address is retained for no more than 24 hours. The raw IP address is not added to either email list.
Approximate visitor total
When a page loads, the site estimates unique visitors using a protected one-way calculation from the network address and browser type sent with the request. Only an aggregate counting structure is kept; the counter does not store the address, browser details, a cookie or a browser ID. It starts counting when this feature launches. Changes of network or browser can count one person more than once, and shared networks can count several people as one. We use this limited measurement under our legitimate interest in understanding the site's broad reach.
Where it is stored
The website runs on Vercel. The email lists and aggregate visitor count use an Upstash Redis database with server-side credentials. These providers process technical data needed to host the site and save submissions. Their contractual safeguards govern any processing outside the European Economic Area.
How long it is kept
Email interest records are reviewed at least every 12 months and removed when no longer needed for their stated purpose, or sooner when consent is withdrawn. The visitor counter retains only its aggregate total, with no individual visitor records to delete.
Your choices
You may ask whether your email is stored, request access or correction, restrict processing, receive your supplied data, or withdraw consent and request deletion. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before the withdrawal. You may also complain to the competent data-protection supervisory authority.
Providing data and automation
Joining either list is voluntary. Without an email address you cannot join an email list. The submitted information is not used for automated decisions or profiling, and it is not sold to third parties.
Contact and deletion requests
Write to bargainflights.eu@proton.me from the address you submitted. This helps locate the correct record without asking for additional personal information.
