Privacy
What we ask Google for
Your name and email address, to sign you in, and read-only access to Gmail (gmail.readonly), to find your flight bookings. Google has no narrower permission that covers only airline emails. Read-only access cannot send, delete or change anything.
What we read
When you start a scan, we search your mailbox for emails whose subject looks like a flight booking: e-tickets, itineraries, booking confirmations, boarding passes and check-in emails. We open at most 600 of them, newest first, and read up to the first 20,000 characters of each. Nothing else in your mailbox is opened.
Who else sees the emails
The text of those booking emails is sent to Anthropic’s Claude, an AI model, which picks out the flight details. They are not sent anywhere else, and no person at Flight Scrapbook reads them.
What we keep
Your name, your email address, and for each flight: the date and times, the two airports, the airline, the flight number, the booking reference, the seat, and the passenger names on the booking. We do not keep the emails. We do not keep your Google sign-in: Google’s access pass lasts one hour, sits encrypted in a cookie in your browser, and is never written to our database.
What other people can see
Nothing, until you switch on a public link. A public scrapbook shows your name and your flights. Booking references for flights that have not happened yet are hidden from visitors, and the names of people you flew with stay hidden unless you choose to show them. You can make the scrapbook private again at any time.
Erasing it
“Delete my flights and account” on your scrapbook page removes everything we hold about you straight away. You can also withdraw the Gmail permission in your Google Account, under Security, then “Your connections to third-party apps and services”.
Google’s rules
Flight Scrapbook’s use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Gmail data is used only to build your scrapbook, never for advertising, and is never sold.
