Privacy Policy

LayoverGuard ("LayoverGuard," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at https://www.layoverguard.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using LayoverGuard.

LayoverGuard is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older.

Information we collect

Information you provide

When you use LayoverGuard, you may provide information such as flight numbers, travel dates, baggage mode, and your email address if you join a waitlist or contact us.

We do not currently offer user accounts.

Quote and preview information

When you request a quote or preview, we may store information related to that request, including flight details you entered, route and connection information, baggage mode, quote result, eligibility result, price or payout preview if shown, timestamps, public or preview token, and technical logs related to the request.

Some preview links may contain or reveal route, flight, and connection information to anyone who has access to the link. Preview links are intended for temporary use and are currently valid for up to 7 days.

Technical information

We may automatically collect technical information when you use the website, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring page, approximate location derived from IP address, logs, and diagnostic information.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• provide quote and layover preview functionality;
• calculate eligibility, pricing, route, and connection details;
• retrieve flight schedule information;
• operate, secure, and maintain the website;
• prevent abuse, fraud, and misuse;
• understand how visitors use LayoverGuard;
• improve the product and user experience;
• respond to emails, waitlist requests, and support messages; and
• comply with legal obligations.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how people use LayoverGuard and to improve the product.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure website traffic and usage. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information such as pages visited, browser and device information, approximate location, referring pages, and interactions with the website.

For visitors from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, Google Analytics is loaded only after analytics cookies are accepted.

Vercel Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics to measure website traffic and performance. Vercel Analytics does not use third-party cookies.

See our Cookie Policy for more information about cookies and analytics choices.

Cookies and similar technologies

LayoverGuard may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for website functionality, security, abuse prevention, analytics, performance measurement, and remembering basic choices.

Google Analytics may set analytics cookies, such as _ga or related cookies. These analytics cookies are not required for the website to function.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Where required by law, we ask for consent before using non-essential analytics cookies.

Third-party services

We use third-party service providers to operate LayoverGuard. These providers may process information on our behalf.

Current providers include:

• Vercel — website hosting, deployment, and analytics;
• Railway — backend hosting, database hosting, and application infrastructure;
• Google Analytics — website analytics;
• Vercel Analytics — website analytics and performance measurement;
• Formspree — waitlist and contact form submissions; and
• FlightAware — flight schedule and flight data provider.

When you submit flight details, we may send relevant flight information to flight-data providers such as FlightAware so we can retrieve schedule or flight information needed to generate a quote or preview.

We may add or replace flight-data providers in the future as the product develops.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information.

We also do not currently use your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We may share information with:

• service providers that help us operate the website;
• analytics providers;
• flight-data providers when needed to provide quote functionality;
• legal authorities if required by law; and
• parties involved in a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that does not reasonably identify you.

Links to other websites

LayoverGuard may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate LayoverGuard, provide quote and preview functionality, improve the product, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and comply with legal obligations.

Preview links are currently valid for up to 7 days, but related backend records may be retained longer for security, debugging, analytics, product improvement, and operational purposes.

Waitlist or contact email information may be retained until you ask us to delete it or until it is no longer needed.

Your choices and privacy rights

You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of information associated with you. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law.

We do not sell your personal information. We also do not currently use your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Because LayoverGuard currently does not have user accounts, we may need enough information to locate the relevant records, such as the email address you submitted, the preview link or token, approximate date and time of the request, or flight details you entered.

We will respond to privacy requests where legally required and where reasonably possible.

To make a privacy request, email us at contact@layoverguard.com.

Email communications

If you join a waitlist or contact us, we may use your email address to respond to you or send updates related to LayoverGuard.

You can ask us to remove your email from our waitlist or contact list by emailing contact@layoverguard.com.

Children's privacy

LayoverGuard is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, such as HTTPS, access controls, and limited access to production systems. However, no website, database, or internet transmission is completely secure.

International visitors

LayoverGuard is currently operated primarily for users in the United States, but visitors from other countries may access the website.

If you access LayoverGuard from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
