What We Collect

FlightQ collects minimal data to operate the game and improve the experience:

• Account data — If you create an account, we store your email address, display name, and home airport preference. Account creation is optional.
• Game data— Puzzle results, guesses, streaks, and stats are stored to power leaderboards, groups, and your profile. Anonymous visitors are assigned a random identifier stored in your browser's local storage.
• Usage analytics — We use analytics tools to understand how players interact with the site. This includes pages visited, features used, and general engagement patterns.
• Location (approximate) — We use IP-based geolocation to show regional stats (country and city level). We do not collect precise GPS coordinates.
• Cookies— We use cookies for authentication sessions, analytics, and (on most pages) to deliver and measure advertising. See "Advertising" below.

What We Don't Do

• --We do not sell your account email or display name. See "Advertising" for what may be shared with our ad partners.
• --We do not share your email address with third parties for marketing.
• --We do not collect payment information (all external booking links go directly to third-party sites).

Advertising
