Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and any profile information you choose to provide (display name, home airport).

Content You Create: Reports, questions, answers, and check-ins you share on the platform, including any images or text content.

Location Data: If you enable location sharing, we collect your approximate location to show relevant airport information. You can disable this anytime in your profile.

Usage Information: We collect information about how you interact with our platform, including pages visited, features used, and time spent.

How We Use Your Information

• •Provide and maintain the GateScoop platform
• •Enable you to share and view real-time airport information
• •Show you relevant content and nearby airport updates (if location sharing enabled)
• •Send you notifications about activity on your content
• •Improve our services and develop new features
• •Protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats
• •Comply with legal obligations

Information Sharing

We do NOT sell your personal information.

Public Information: Content you post (reports, questions, answers) is visible to other users. Your display name and profile information you choose to share are also public.

Service Providers: We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform (hosting, analytics, etc.).

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.

Affiliate Links & Third-Party Tracking

GateScoop Travel and occasional travel picks contain affiliate links to third-party travel services — Aviasales (flights), Hotellook (hotels), Rentalcars.com (cars), Kiwitaxi (transfers), GetYourGuide (experiences), EKTA (insurance), Airport Parking Reservations (parking), and DragonPass (lounges) — provided through the Travelpayouts affiliate network.

When you tap one of these links, a partner identifier tells the partner your visit came from GateScoop, and the partner may set its own cookie or similar technology so a booking can be credited to us. If you book, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These partners do NOT receive your GateScoop account details, your community posts, or your location.

This is affiliate tracking, not targeted advertising — affiliate scripts never decide which offers you see, and we do not sell your personal information. You can avoid it entirely by not using the travel links or by blocking third-party cookies in your browser. Full details are in the Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure on our Policies page.
