1. Introduction
Welcome to airwaybilltracker.com (the "Service"). Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how it is handled, and your options regarding data collection, specifically including our compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and UK GDPR guidelines.
2. Information Collection and Storage
2.1 Minimal Data Collection
We do not collect or store personal identification information or your air waybill (AWB) tracking numbers on our servers. The Service operates primarily as a routing utility.
2.2 Local Browser Storage
To improve your experience, the Service may store your recently searched AWB numbers locally in your web browser (using HTML5 Web Storage). This data remains strictly in your browser and is never sent to our servers. You can clear this history at any time by clearing your browser's site data or history.
3. Cookies and Advertising Partners
3.1 Third-Party Advertising (Mediavine)
The Service is a member of the Mediavine advertising network. Mediavine and its advertising partners place advertisements on the Service and, together with their partners, use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure those advertisements — including ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
The categories of personal information Mediavine and its partners may process for this purpose include your IP address, device and browser information, general location, and interactions with the ads shown to you. A current list of the advertising partners Mediavine works with is published at mediavine.com/ad-partners, and Mediavine's own privacy notice is available at mediavine.com/legal-and-privacy-center.
Where the law requires consent for personalised advertising — for example in the EEA and the UK — Mediavine presents a consent prompt on your first visit and records your choice. You can reopen that prompt and change or withdraw your consent at any time using the privacy control Mediavine displays on the page. You may additionally opt out of interest-based advertising from participating vendors at aboutads.info/choices or youronlinechoices.eu.
We also sell a small number of sponsorships directly. Direct sponsor creatives are static assets served from our own domain, contain no third-party script, and set no cookies.
3.2 Analytics (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to collect aggregate traffic data to understand how visitors interact with our Service. Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze site traffic. This information is processed anonymously to compile statistics on site usage.
4. Third-Party Links and Services
The Service contains redirects and links to official airline and cargo carrier websites. We do not control, host, or monitor the privacy practices of these third-party websites. When you click "Track," you are redirected to the official carrier's tracking page, which is governed by that carrier's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We strongly encourage you to review their policies.
5. Global Data Protection Compliance
5.1 GDPR Compliance (European Union / EEA)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the following applies:
- Data Controller: airwaybilltracker.com is the data controller. Since we do not transmit personal tracking numbers or personal details to our servers, our data controller footprint is minimal.
- Legal Basis: We use legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing standard connection data (like IP addresses in server logs for security purposes). Personalised advertising served through Mediavine and its partners requires your explicit consent, which is collected through the consent prompt described in Section 3.1.
- Your Rights: You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. Since data is stored locally in your browser, you can exercise your right to erasure by clearing your browser cache and cookies.
5.2 CCPA Compliance (California, USA)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have specific rights:
- Right to Know and Delete: Since we do not collect personal information beyond local browser data, we do not store personal data for deletion on our servers.
- No Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- Opt-Out of Personalized Ads: California residents can opt out of the sharing of personal information for personalised advertising using the privacy control Mediavine displays on the page, or through the opt-out links in Section 3.1.
5.3 UK GDPR Compliance
For users in the United Kingdom, we adhere to the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR principles. You have the right to inspect, verify, or demand removal of personal info (exercisable locally via your browser settings) and may lodge queries or complaints with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
