Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Travelyne ("we", "our", "us") operates the website travelyne.com, a travel metasearch engine that helps users find and compare prices on flights and hotels across multiple booking platforms. We are based in India.

For any privacy-related queries, contact us at: privacy@travelyne.com

2. Information we collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate our service:

• Search data: When you search for flights or hotels, we record the search parameters (origin, destination, dates, passenger count). This is used to display results and improve our service.
• Usage data: We collect standard web analytics information including pages visited, time spent, browser type, operating system, and approximate location (city/country level). This is collected through cookies and similar technologies.
• Device information: Basic information about the device and browser you use to access our site.
• Contact information: If you contact us by email, we store your email address and message content to respond to your query.

We do not collect your name, payment details, passport information, or any booking-related personal data. All bookings are completed on partner platforms (MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, etc.) — not on Travelyne.

3. How we use your information

• To display relevant flight and hotel search results
• To improve the performance and usability of our website
• To understand which routes and destinations are most searched
• To respond to your queries and support requests
• To detect and prevent fraud or technical abuse
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data for targeted advertising, we do not build personal profiles, and we do not sell your data to any third party.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function correctly. Cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site (e.g., Google Analytics). These are anonymous and aggregated.
• Affiliate tracking cookies: When you click through to a partner booking site, they may set cookies to track whether a booking is completed and to pay us a commission. These cookies are governed by the respective partner's privacy policy.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the site.

5. Third-party partners

When you click on a flight or hotel result and are redirected to a partner site (such as MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, IndiGo, etc.), that partner's privacy policy applies to any data you provide on their platform. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before completing a booking.

Our current data partners include:

• Travelpayouts / Aviasales (flight search data)
• Google Analytics (website analytics)
• MakeMyTrip, Cleartrip, EaseMyTrip, Yatra (affiliate redirects)
• Booking.com, Agoda (hotel affiliate redirects)

6. Data retention

Search query data is retained in anonymised form for up to 12 months for analytics purposes. Email correspondence is retained for up to 3 years. We delete personal data upon request.

7. Your rights

Under applicable Indian data protection law and, where relevant, GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@travelyne.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's privacy

Travelyne is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a revised "last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
