Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

TraceAWB ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

TraceAWB operates primarily on a client-side basis. We collect minimal information:

• Search history stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB (with localStorage fallback)
• Analytics data through Google Analytics (anonymized)
• AWB numbers you manually enter in our search box
• Your browser type and general location (via analytics)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide and improve our tracking service
• Understand how users interact with our platform
• Fix bugs and optimize performance
• Enhance user experience and interface
• Track basic usage statistics and trends

4. Data Storage and Security

Your AWB search queries are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage. This means:

• No data is sent to our servers
• Your searches are never stored on external databases
• Only you can access your search history
• Clearing your browser cache clears all stored searches

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics: Tracks anonymized usage patterns to help us improve the platform
• Google Tag Manager: Helps manage analytics and tracking tags
• Airline Tracking URLs: We redirect to official airline websites for actual tracking

These services have their own privacy policies. Please review their policies independently.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use:

• Browser IndexedDB (with localStorage fallback) to store your search history
• Google Analytics cookies for usage analytics
• Session storage for temporary data during your visit

You can disable these through your browser settings.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Clear your search history from browser settings
• Disable analytics tracking through Google Analytics opt-out tools
• Use the platform without storing search history
• Contact us with privacy concerns

8. Data Retention

Search history stored locally in your browser persists until you manually clear it. Analytics data from Google Analytics is retained according to their retention policies (typically 14-50 months).
