Privacy policy

Last updated August 2, 2026

WillItWiFi is built privacy-first. We don't sell data, we don't track you across the web, and we don't collect more than the bare minimum needed to make the app work.

Website (willitwifi.com)

What we store

• Community ratings you submit: flight number, date, star rating, optional details (free/paid, speed, provider, use cases), optional comment, optional first name, and an auto-detected country code from your IP (used only as country, never the full IP).
• Anti-abuse hashes: a one-way SHA-256 hash of your IP+User-Agent (for one-rating-per-device dedup) and IP alone (for rate limiting). The original IP is never stored.

What we don't store

• Your IP address (only its hash, only for rate-limit windowing).
• Your browsing history, search history, or any cross-site data.
• Tracking cookies. We use no cookies for analytics.
• Personal identifiers beyond your optional first name.
• Your email address. We have no signup, no accounts, and no mailing list — there is nowhere on the site to give us an email.

Analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-respecting solution that records aggregate page-view counts only. It does not use cookies, does not fingerprint visitors, and is fully GDPR/CCPA compliant without requiring a consent banner.

We use no Google Analytics, no advertising tags, and no third-party trackers of any kind. Product events we do count — a search, a rating, a boarding-pass scan — are recorded as counts only. They never carry your flight number, your boarding pass, or anything else that identifies you or your trip.

Until 2 August 2026 this site loaded Google Analytics, which set cookies. It has been removed, and this page previously understated that. We would rather record the correction than quietly rewrite it.

Third-party services

• AeroDataBox (flight data): when you check a specific flight, we send the flight number and date to AeroDataBox to retrieve aircraft type and registration. No personal info is sent.
• Vercel (hosting): logs requests with standard server metadata (URL, status code, timing).
• Neon (database): stores the data described above.
• flagcdn.com (country flag images): your browser fetches small flag PNGs from this CDN to render community rating badges.

Browser extension

Data transmitted

The WillItWiFi browser extension sends only the following to willitwifi.com when you view a flight on Google Flights:

• The flight number visible in the row (e.g. LH400).
• The flight date (from the page URL or today's date).

That's it. No identifiers, no IP correlation across requests, no analytics SDK. The request is cached locally in chrome.storage.local for 30 minutes to reduce repeat lookups.

Permissions explained

• storage — caches flight lookups and remembers your settings preference.
• alarms — a daily alarm prunes stale cache entries.
• https://www.google.com/travel/flights/* + https://flights.google.com/* — required so the content script can detect flight rows and inject the badge overlay.
• https://www.willitwifi.com/* — required for the extension to call our API.

What the extension does NOT do

• Read or modify any page content outside flight rows.
• Read your cookies, localStorage, or saved passwords.
• Track your browsing activity.
• Run on any site outside the listed hosts.
• Use analytics, fingerprinting, or remote-loaded code.
• Send anything to third parties besides willitwifi.com.

Your rights

Ratings are submitted without an account, so we hold nothing that identifies you. If you want a rating you posted removed, email the address below with the flight number and date and we’ll delete it. We respond within 7 days.

Changes to this policy

Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top. We can’t email you about policy updates because we don’t have your email address.
