What we collect, and what we don’t.
Last updated April 2026
The short version
We collect the bare minimum needed to let you rate seats and prevent spam: your Google sign-in identity (encrypted at rest), your reviews, and basic anonymous analytics. We don’t sell your data. Ever.
What we store
Your name and avatar (from Google), an encrypted email, the ratings and comments you publish, your saved seats, and timestamps of when you signed in. Comments are encrypted in our database.
Cookies and analytics
We use a single secure HTTP-only session cookie for sign-in. We run privacy-first analytics to count page views — no third-party trackers, no fingerprinting.
Advertising
We serve Google AdSense on listing and leaderboard pages. You can disable personalised ads in your Google account at any time.
Your rights
You can request a full export or permanent deletion of your account and reviews from your profile page. We honour these requests within 30 days under the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
