Welcome to SkySaathi.com ("the Service", "we", "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:
- Personal Data: When you register, we collect personally identifiable information, such as your name and email address, provided through your Google account. You may also voluntarily provide us with your phone number (for WhatsApp notifications), languages you speak, and a short bio.
- Traveler Profiles: If you add profiles for family members you manage, we collect the names, age groups, and specific needs you provide for them.
- Travel Information: We collect flight details—such as airline, flight number, and dates—that you provide when you post a trip or search for a companion. This includes information submitted through our web forms, or parsed from itineraries you send via email or WhatsApp.

This information is aggregated and anonymized to provide us with insights into usage patterns, which helps us improve our website's functionality and user experience. We also send custom events to Google Analytics to track key actions like user sign-ups and trip creation, which helps us measure the effectiveness of our features. For more information on how Google uses this data, please review their privacy policy. You can also opt-out of Google Analytics by installing their browser add-on.
