Privacy policy.

1. Introduction

Valor Flights ("we", "us", "our") operates an AI-powered flight search engine that helps users find and compare airfares across airlines. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website at valorflights.com.

IMPORTANT: Valor Flights is a search engine only. We do not process bookings, payments, or handle personal travel arrangements. This notice covers the website. Embedded search, hosting and security services also process information as described below.

2. Information We Collect

When you use Valor Flights, we may collect:

• Search Data: Origin, destination, travel dates and passenger selections are processed by the embedded flight-search provider to return results. Its privacy notice also applies to its processing.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser and device information, requested URLs and request timing can be processed by hosting, security and embedded-search providers when your browser connects to them.
• Site analytics: We do not install Google Analytics. Optional first-party usage measurement is described below.
• Embedded services: The flight-search component connects to a third-party provider when it loads. That provider may process connection data and use browser storage. A link to its privacy notice is provided below.

The site does not provide a booking or payment form. Do not send passport details, payment information or sensitive travel documents to us, including in correspondence.

Audience measurement

Optional first-party usage measurement is off until you enable it in Usage choices. It is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

It records only reviewed public page types: home, news list, news category, news article, privacy and terms. It does not record article slugs or titles, searches, form contents, click labels or private pages.

A signed Secure HttpOnly first-party browser cookie links your consented records for up to 30 days. Records are pseudonymous, not fully anonymous, and retained for 30 days. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track prevent collection. Collection requires your affirmative choice.

Usage choices lets you withdraw, export or erase covered records while the cookie is valid. Withdrawal stops new collection; clearing cookies or changing browsers removes access to previous records. Aggregate admission counters are retained.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Search Functionality: To process your search selections and display flight results.
• Site Optimization: To diagnose technical problems and maintain website performance.
• Security: To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or malicious activity on our platform.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws and regulations.

4. Third-party search and booking services

CRITICAL DISTINCTION: When you click on any flight result, you are redirected to airline websites or third-party booking providers. These are completely separate services with their own privacy policies.

Booking and payment details are submitted to the booking provider, not through a Valor Flights booking form. Affiliate services can also provide affiliate attribution and performance reports. This notice does not promise that all partner reporting is anonymous or that no booking-related information can reach us. Contact us about information relating to you; requests concerning a provider's independent processing should also be directed to that provider.

Third-party services we use:

• Travelpayouts: Embedded flight search and affiliate services. Its component operates within our pages before you follow a booking link. See its privacy notice.
• Cloudflare: Hosting and security services. See its privacy notice.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Information reaches the embedded search provider when its component loads and when you use it. Hosting and security providers also receive technical request data. Other disclosures may occur in the following circumstances:

• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government regulation.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (with proper notice).
• Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting and security).

6. Data Retention and Security

Data Retention:

Retention depends on the purpose and the service processing the information, including delivery, security, handling correspondence and applicable legal obligations. Third-party search and booking providers have their own retention practices. Contact us about data held by us; we cannot erase a provider's independent records on its behalf.

Security: The website uses HTTPS. No internet service can guarantee absolute security. Please do not send payment details, identity documents or sensitive travel information to us.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data (where legally required).
• Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service provider.
• Objection: Object to processing of your personal data.
• Restriction: Limit how we use your personal data.

Cookie Controls: The embedded Travelpayouts search loads only after you allow its search and affiliate cookies. Declining keeps other site content accessible. Use “Cookie preferences” on any page to change or withdraw your choice. We remember this choice for up to 180 days in a first-party preference cookie. Withdrawing reloads the page to stop the embedded provider and removes accessible first-party provider cookies; your browser settings can remove cookies held on other domains. Withdrawal does not undo processing that occurred before it.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, please contact us so we can assess and address the situation under applicable law.

9. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. The linked provider notices describe their processing locations and transfer arrangements. You can contact us for information about transfers involving personal data we control.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date. This notice is not a request for consent. Where a change requires consent or individual notification, merely updating this page does not replace that requirement.
