PRIVACY NOTICE

What we store. What we don't. And what you can do about it.

Airway Cubes is a flight-catalog desk in Phoenix, Arizona — not a data business. This notice explains, in plain English, exactly what we collect, why, how long we keep it, who processes it, and the rights you have over it.

Effective date: June 3, 2026 · Last updated: June 3, 2026 · Version 1.0 · Provided by Airway Cubes (the "publisher").

1. Introduction

Airway Cubes ("we," "us," "our," or "the desk") publishes the flight-cube catalog at airwaycubes.com from Phoenix, Arizona. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through the website, the contact form, and any related communications. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and the choices available to you under U.S. federal and state privacy laws. By browsing the site, submitting the contact form, or interacting with our advertising, you acknowledge that you have read this policy and agree to the practices described here, together with our Terms of Use and Cookie Policy.

This policy applies to information processed in connection with our U.S. operations and our online presence at https://airwaycubes.com. It does not apply to third-party comparison-search partners or aggregator websites you may reach through outbound "Compare at partner" links; those parties maintain their own privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their notices before you provide them with information. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of the site and refrain from submitting personal data, except as necessary to exercise your legal rights.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, technology, or our practices. Material updates will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, by a banner on the site. Your continued use of airwaycubes.com after the new effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, unless applicable law requires a different form of consent.

2. Key terms

Throughout this notice, "we", "us", and "our" refer to Airway Cubes. "You" means any visitor to the website, prospective contact, or correspondent who interacts with us. "Personal data" or "personal information" means information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, either alone or in combination with other data we hold.

3. Information we collect

We collect information in three ways: directly from you when you submit the contact form or write to us; automatically through your browser and our hosting/CDN; and from third-party advertising and measurement platforms whose tags fire on our pages. We do not buy data from data brokers, and we do not knowingly receive personal data from other websites on your behalf.

3(a) Information you provide to us

If you use the contact form, we collect identifiers such as your full name, email address, and any message text you choose to send. If you decide to share additional context (e.g., a specific route, preferred dates, baggage questions, accessibility needs, or a phone number for a call-back), we will process that too. Providing this information is voluntary; if you do not contact us, we do not receive it.

Airway Cubes does not take payment, hold tickets, or process passenger funds. We never request passport numbers, government identification, credit-card numbers, or sensitive personal information through this website. If your inquiry requires sharing such data, we will redirect you to the appropriate carrier or partner.

3(b) Records of correspondence

We may retain records of correspondence with you — emails, contact-form submissions, and notes from any follow-up calls — so we can deliver consistent service, respond to follow-up questions, and document your preferences if you return later. Correspondence is kept only as long as needed to address your inquiry plus a short follow-up window, then deleted.

3(c) Information stored on your own device

We use your browser's local storage for a small number of strictly functional items, including a key (awc_watch) that holds the fare-watch list you build during a session and a key (awc_catalog_v1) that remembers you dismissed the cookie notice. These keys live on your device only and are not transmitted to our servers. Clearing your browser data removes them.

3(d) Information processed automatically by our hosting and CDN

The website is delivered through Cloudflare, our hosting and content-delivery network. To serve pages and to protect the site from abuse, Cloudflare automatically processes standard technical request data — your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages requested, the time and date of access, and approximate geographic location derived from the IP address — in short-lived server and security logs. Aggregated or de-identified usage data may be used for internal reporting and does not identify you individually.

3(e) Advertising and measurement data

We advertise this website through third-party advertising platforms, including Microsoft Advertising (Bing) and may use Google Ads. To measure the performance of those ads (conversion tracking) and to reach visitors who have previously been to our site (remarketing), we use advertising tags and cookies on our pages — including the Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag — that record page visits, the pages you view, and similar activity on this site, and that may set or read cookies and similar identifiers in your browser. This means that individual end-user tracking and the sharing of data with third parties (our advertising platforms) for advertising and marketing purposes can occur on this website. See Sections 8 and 9 for what this involves and how to opt out.

3(f) Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help our website remember your preferences and measure performance. We distinguish between strictly functional cookies/storage required for core functionality and third-party advertising cookies set by the platforms in 3(e). For a detailed list of cookie categories, lifetimes, and browser-specific instructions, see our Cookie Policy, which is incorporated into this Privacy Policy by reference.

4. Categories of personal information (CCPA/CPRA)

Under California law, the categories we process are Identifiers (name and email you submit; IP address and online/cookie identifiers handled by our CDN and advertising platforms) and Internet or other electronic network activity (request logs, pages viewed, and ad-interaction signals). We do not collect Social Security numbers, financial or payment data, precise geolocation, biometric data, or any category of sensitive personal information, and we do not knowingly process data revealing protected characteristics, religion, political opinion, or sexual orientation.

5. How we use your information

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under applicable U.S. law, such as our legitimate interest in operating the website, performance of a quasi-contractual response to your inquiry, compliance with legal obligations, or your consent where required. The following list summarizes the primary purposes for which we use information; additional context may apply depending on your interaction with us.

  • Read and respond to messages sent through the contact form or by email, and route follow-up questions to the right desk.
  • Deliver the website reliably and securely via our CDN, including abuse prevention, rate-limiting, and protection against malicious traffic.
  • Remember the preferences and watch-list you create in your own browser, so the site behaves as you expect on return visits.
  • Measure how our advertising performs (conversion tracking) and show relevant ads to past visitors (remarketing) through our advertising platforms.
  • Improve the website by analyzing aggregated usage patterns to fix errors, improve page-load times, and refine which routes and editorial topics interest readers.
  • Investigate fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access, and to enforce our Terms of Use and other policies.
  • Comply with legal obligations — including responding to subpoenas, court orders, tax obligations, and lawful requests from government authorities.
  • Business transfers — if Airway Cubes ever merges, is acquired, or transfers ownership of its assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality and notice requirements under applicable law.
  • Generate aggregated or anonymized insights — statistical summaries that do not identify individuals (for example, popular departure airports or seasonal trends) — which we may publish or share with partners.

We do not use your information for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you, and we do not sell it for monetary consideration. If we intend to use your information for a new purpose that is materially incompatible with the original purpose, we will provide additional notice and, where required, obtain fresh consent before proceeding.

6. How long we keep it (retention)

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to handle your inquiry and a short follow-up window, then deleted. Browser local-storage items persist on your device until you clear them. CDN and security logs are retained briefly by the provider under its own retention schedule, then purged. Advertising and measurement data is retained by the relevant advertising platform under its own retention policy. When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize data so it can no longer be associated with you, except where limited archival copies must be kept for legal holds or ongoing disputes.

7. Who we share it with (categories of recipients)

We share personal information only with categories of recipients that need it to provide services or comply with law. These may include:

  • Hosting and CDN providers — Cloudflare delivers and secures the site as a service provider acting on our instructions.
  • Advertising platforms — Microsoft Advertising and, where used, Google Ads, which receive ad-interaction and on-site activity data through their tags and cookies for conversion measurement and remarketing.
  • Email delivery providers — if/when we use a transactional email provider to read or reply to contact-form submissions, those messages flow through that vendor under contract.
  • Professional advisors — accountants, auditors, and attorneys, where reasonably necessary for tax, legal, or compliance matters.
  • Law enforcement and government authorities — in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful request, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Airway Cubes, our readers, or the public.

When you click an outbound "Compare at partner" link on our cube cards, the destination URL carries only your search parameters (origin, destination, dates, and passenger count) — never your name or email — and from that point the partner site's own privacy policy applies. Under some U.S. state privacy laws our advertising activity may be considered "sharing" for targeted advertising or a "sale"; you can opt out as described in Sections 9 and 10. We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not rent or trade it. We do not share your personal information with unrelated third parties for their independent marketing without your consent.

8. Cookies and tracking technologies

The site uses two categories of client-side storage:

  • Strictly functional — the two browser-local localStorage keys described in Section 3(c). No third party can read them, and they cannot be used to identify you across sites.
  • Advertising and measurement — cookies and identifiers set or read by our advertising platforms through their tags, including the Microsoft Advertising UET tag, used for conversion tracking and remarketing. These involve third-party advertising cookies that may persist beyond a single session.

Full detail and the opt-out controls are on our Cookie Policy. You can also manage or block cookies in your browser settings, and opt out of interest-based advertising using the resources in Section 9. Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals; because there is no uniform industry standard for how to respond, our default is to honor the controls in Section 9 and any Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as described below.

9. Interest-based advertising and your opt-out choices

Because we run advertising and remarketing tags, you may be shown interest-based ads. You can opt out at any time through any of the following:

10. Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Airway Cubes does not sell your personal information for monetary consideration as that term is commonly understood in U.S. state privacy laws. We do use advertising and remarketing technologies (Section 3(e)), which under California (CCPA/CPRA) and other U.S. state laws may qualify as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising or a "sale." To opt out: use the interest-based advertising controls in Section 9, enable Global Privacy Control in your browser, or email cube@airwaycubes.com with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" and we will honor your request.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on your state of residence — including California (CCPA/CPRA) and Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and Montana under their respective laws — you may have the right to:

  • Know / access the personal information we hold about you and how we use it;
  • Delete personal information we hold about you, subject to applicable exceptions;
  • Correct inaccurate personal information;
  • Data portability — receive a copy of information you provided in a portable, machine-readable format;
  • Opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising and of any "sale" under applicable state law;
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information (not applicable here because we do not process sensitive PI);
  • Non-discrimination — we will never deny service, charge a different price, or provide a different quality of service because you exercised a privacy right;
  • Appeal our response to a request, where granted by your state law.

12. How to exercise your rights

Email cube@airwaycubes.com with the request and the email address you used to contact us, so we can verify your identity against our records. You may use an authorized agent (with written permission). We respond within 45 days (extendable once by another 45 days with notice). If we decline a request, you may appeal in writing by replying to our response; we will reconsider and explain our decision.

13. Children's privacy

Airway Cubes is a fare-research catalog intended for adults; it is not directed to children. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 through the website, and we do not build remarketing audiences from, or target ads to, anyone under 18. We also follow CARU advertising guidelines (U.S.). If you believe we have inadvertently received personal information from a child, please email cube@airwaycubes.com and we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who include a minor's information when contacting us about a family trip understand that we treat such information with the same protections as other personal data and use it only for the inquiry.

14. Data security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include role-restricted access to mailbox and admin tools, HTTPS with HSTS and modern TLS for traffic to airwaycubes.com, CDN-level abuse protection and bot mitigation through Cloudflare, secure configuration of hosting accounts, and periodic review of vendor security practices. No method of transmission over the Internet or of electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security, and we limit what we collect precisely to reduce risk. You are responsible for keeping any credentials we may issue confidential and for notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.

15. International visitors and transfers

Airway Cubes is based in the United States and processes information in the United States. If you access the website from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. When information is transferred from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the relevant authorities, where applicable) or other mechanisms permitted under applicable law. You may request information about those safeguards by writing to cube@airwaycubes.com.

16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or business structure. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date and version number. For material changes that affect how we use personal data we have already collected, we will provide additional notice as required by law, which may include a website banner. We encourage you to review this policy whenever you use the site; your continued use of airwaycubes.com after changes become effective signifies your acceptance of the updated terms, except where your explicit consent is required for new processing activities.
