Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This policy explains what data Flight Compensation Checker collects, why, and what your rights are. We keep it short because we genuinely collect very little.

Who we are

Flight Compensation Checker is operated by PrintMoneyLab. For data-protection purposes, we are the data controller. Contact: [email protected].

Data we do NOT collect

Your flight details — airports, airline, date, issue type, delay duration — are processed entirely in your browser. They are never sent to our servers, never stored in a database, and are discarded the moment you close or refresh the page. We have no record of what flights you checked.

Data we do collect

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

Only with your consent. If you accept cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how people use the site (pages visited, how long the checker takes, which step people drop off at, which partner services get clicks). GA4 collects your IP address (anonymised by Google before storage), browser type, device type, and approximate location (country/city level).

We do not send any flight-search data to Google. The events we fire are: verdict_shown (eligible true/false, which regulations applied, estimated amount) and partner_click (which specialist service you clicked). These help us improve the tool and demonstrate its value to potential partners.

You can decline analytics at any time by clicking "Decline" in the cookie banner, or by clearing your cookie_consent entry from your browser's localStorage (DevTools → Application → Local Storage).

Theme preference

We store your light/dark theme preference in localStorage under the key theme. This never leaves your device.

Affiliate link clicks

When you click a link to Compensair, AirAdvisor, or AirHelp, those sites will set their own cookies and collect their own data. Their privacy policies govern what they do with that data. Our affiliate tracking passes only a referral identifier; we do not share any of your personal data with them.

Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

Analytics: Consent (Article 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time by declining cookies; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Theme preference (localStorage): No personal data processed; this is purely functional client-side storage.

Data retention

GA4 data is retained for 14 months (Google's minimum configurable period), after which it is automatically deleted. We do not retain any other personal data.

Your rights

Under GDPR and UK GDPR you have the right to: access your data; request erasure; withdraw consent; lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (ICO in the UK; your national DPA in the EU). To exercise these rights, email [email protected].

Because we hold no flight-search data and only anonymised analytics, most access and erasure requests can be fulfilled by simply revoking cookie consent (which stops all future collection) and requesting deletion of the GA4 data tied to your client ID (which we can action via the GA4 data-deletion tool).

Third-party services

Changes to this policy

We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we make material changes. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
