Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026  ·  Effective upon use

Plain English summary: We collect only what we need to check your eligibility and file your claim. Your email text is sent to Anthropic's AI for analysis — a brief excerpt is logged for debugging. We capture your email address if you choose to share it. We don't sell your data.

1. What We Collect and Why

Airline email text (analysis only)

When you paste airline email text into our checker, that text is sent to Anthropic's API (Claude) for analysis. We log a brief preview (the first 150 characters) of the email text for debugging and service improvement purposes. We do not store the full email text after analysis is complete. We do not use your email content for marketing.

Email address

If you choose to receive a reminder, get your result emailed, or submit a claim, we collect your email address. We use it to send you your result, claim status updates, and follow-up communications related to your claim. We do not send marketing emails without your separate consent.

Name

If you submit a claim, we collect your first and last name to submit the refund request to the airline on your behalf.

Phone number (optional)

If you provide a phone number, we may send claim status updates via SMS. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP.

Payment information

If we recover a refund for you, we collect payment information through Stripe to charge our 20% success fee. We do not store your full card number — payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe.

Usage data

We log IP addresses, request timestamps, and basic usage data (such as whether a claim was eligible, which airline was involved) for rate limiting, fraud prevention, and service improvement. We do not link this data to personally identifiable information unless you have submitted a claim.

4. What We Don't Do

5. Data Retention

We retain claim records for as long as necessary to process your claim and for a reasonable period afterward for legal and business purposes. Email text submitted for analysis is not retained after processing. You may request deletion of your personal data by contacting us at privacy@flightclaim.today.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@flightclaim.today. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.

7. Security

We use industry-standard security practices including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and secure third-party services. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

8. Children

FlightClaim is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our practices change. Material changes will be communicated to users with active claims.
