Privacy Policy

1. General Information

We take the protection of personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how FareRadar may process information when you visit the website, use our travel tools, interact with content, or use partner and flight search features.

2. Quick Privacy Answer

You can reopen your FareRadar choices from the footer privacy link or from the Privacy Center on this page.

3. Data We May Process

Depending on how you use FareRadar, we may process technical and usage information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referrer URL, date and time of access, pages viewed, search interactions, selected preferences, and information submitted through forms.

If you use external flight search, booking or affiliate services, additional information may be processed by the relevant partner according to their own policies.

4. Why We Process Data

We may process data to provide flight search and travel tools, keep the website secure, remember privacy choices, improve usability, analyze website performance, detect technical problems, protect forms from abuse, and measure partner or affiliate performance where permitted.

5. Legal Basis

Where applicable, processing may rely on consent, performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests such as website security, fraud prevention and service improvement.

• Consent may apply to optional analytics, marketing measurement and experience features.
• Legitimate interests may apply to security, abuse prevention and essential technical operation.
• Contractual or pre-contractual measures may apply when you use travel search or request-related services.

6. Cookies and Consent Choices

FareRadar uses essential storage to operate the site, protect forms and security features, and remember privacy choices. Optional technologies are used only where permitted by the choices and legal basis that apply to the visitor.

• Essential: security, consent storage, forms and core site features.
• Analytics: usage and performance measurement, including Google Analytics where enabled.
• Marketing, advertising & partner measurement: affiliate attribution, campaign measurement and advertising technologies, including Google advertising services where enabled.
• Experience features: optional enhancements such as richer embeds, local assistant preferences and improved first-party experience features.

Where Google advertising is enabled and additional consent is required, advertising-related choices are presented through the consent controls made available on the site. The exact options shown can vary by region and by the advertising services active at the time. FareRadar's Privacy Center separately manages first-party preferences and optional FareRadar features.

You can change your choices later. Depending on the technology involved, this may be done through the FareRadar Privacy Center, the Google advertising consent message available on the site, or your browser/device settings. For more details about cookies and storage used on FareRadar, please review the Cookie Policy.

7. Third-Party Services

FareRadar may link to or integrate third-party services, including flight search, analytics, advertising, affiliate and travel partners. When you interact with an embedded service, advertising placement, external offer or partner tool, the relevant provider may receive technical information and may process data under its own privacy terms.

These providers may include Google services such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense and related advertising technologies when they are enabled on FareRadar. Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

FareRadar does not control the privacy practices of external booking websites or partner platforms. Their own privacy policies and consent mechanisms apply when you use their services.

8. Local Experience Data

Some FareRadar features may store optional data locally in your browser to improve the experience, such as local assistant context or preferences. The Privacy Center can clear known optional local assistant data without removing your consent choice, PWA install state or browser notification permissions.

9. Google AdSense, Advertising and Partner Measurement

FareRadar may use Google AdSense and other approved advertising or partner-measurement services to fund and improve the website. When Google advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, limit, secure and measure ads.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on a user's visit to FareRadar and/or other sites on the Internet. Depending on the visitor's region, settings and consent choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized/contextual.

Advertising and measurement requests may involve information such as the page URL, IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, advertising identifiers, cookie or local-storage identifiers, ad impressions and interactions. Google describes its use of this information at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and explains advertising cookies at Google Advertising – Privacy & Terms.

Personalized advertising choices

Users can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Where advertising consent controls are presented on FareRadar, users can use those controls to accept, reject or manage the available advertising choices and revisit them later.

Regional advertising consent

Where advertising services are active and consent is required, FareRadar presents advertising-related choices before optional advertising technologies are used. The controls available may vary by region, provider and the services active at the time.

Partner and affiliate measurement

FareRadar may also use approved affiliate or travel-partner tracking to understand whether a visitor follows a partner link or completes an attributed action. These services are subject to the relevant consent choices, partner terms and applicable law. Sponsored or affiliate links may be identified as such where appropriate.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Browser-based consent choices are stored for the consent version currently in use and may be refreshed when categories, vendors or policies materially change.

Third-party providers, including Google, apply their own retention periods to data they process as independent or separate service providers. Their published privacy documentation explains those practices in more detail.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability, and withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent.

You can manage FareRadar first-party preferences through the Privacy Center on this page. Where advertising-related consent controls are active, those controls provide the available advertising choices. You can also manage Google personalized-ad settings through Google Ads Settings.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal.

13. Supervisory Authority

You may have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority in Germany or in your country of residence within the European Union.
