Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Budgie ("we", "us") operates the flight deal platform at budgie.cz. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at [email protected].

2. Data We Collect

When you use Budgie, we may collect:

• Account data — email address, name, hashed password, and preferences you provide when registering.
• Usage data — anonymised event logs (e.g. deal views, clicks) tied to a hashed IP address, never to your identity.
• Payment data — subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We store only a Stripe customer ID; we never see or store your full card details.
• Feedback — if you submit feedback via the form, we receive the message and any email address you optionally provide.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To send you flight deal alerts you signed up for.
• To operate and improve the platform.
• To process payments and manage subscriptions.
• To respond to feedback or support requests.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use session cookies for authentication and browser localStorage to cache flight data for faster loading. No tracking or advertising cookies are set by us. Third-party services (Google Analytics via GTM, Cloudflare) may set their own cookies subject to their own policies.

5. Third-Party Services

• Stripe — payment processing (stripe.com/privacy)
• Patreon — optional board access via OAuth (patreon.com/privacy)
• Cloudflare — bot protection and CDN (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy)
• Google Tag Manager / Analytics — anonymous usage analytics
• Brevo (Sendinblue) — transactional email delivery

6. Data Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion at any time by emailing [email protected]. Anonymised usage logs may be retained for up to 12 months.

7. Your Rights

Under GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, as well as the right to object to processing or request data portability. To exercise these rights, contact [email protected].

8. Security

Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes. Connections are encrypted via HTTPS. We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes by email.
