FlightLeave

Privacy

FlightLeave is a single-purpose tool. Here is everything it does with your data.

Your location

When you tap Use my current location, your browser sends your coordinates to our server once, so we can ask a routing service how long the drive to the airport currently takes. We do not write your location to a database, and we do not keep it after the calculation. If you enter a postcode instead, it is used the same way.

Accounts

There are none. FlightLeave has no sign-up, no login and no saved profile.

Analytics

We record which steps of the flow people reach — a search starting, a flight being confirmed, a leave time being shown — so we can see where the tool is failing people. Coordinates, postcodes and addresses are never sent to analytics.

Third parties

To answer your question we call a flight-data provider, a traffic-aware routing provider, and a language model that turns your description into search criteria. The language model only ever sees the text you typed; it never sees your location, and it is not the source of any flight information you see.

Partner links

A result may show links to airport transfer companies. Nothing is sent to them unless you click one. When you do, the link may carry the airport, your leave time and, if you typed one, your postcode — so their booking page can start filled in. From then on their own privacy policy applies. We never pass on GPS coordinates.

Cookies

FlightLeave sets no advertising cookies and no tracking cookies of its own. The only cookies that can be set are the analytics ones described above, and they are not loaded at all unless you agree to them — declining means the script never runs, rather than running quietly in the background.

Your answer is remembered in your browser’s local storage, not in a cookie. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal we treat that as a decline and do not ask.

If you contact us

The contact form collects your email address, your message and a name if you give one. We use them only to reply, and we do not add you to any mailing list.
