1. Information We Collect

We only collect the information necessary to provide you with accurate travel and forex comparisons.

• Search and Comparison Data: When you use our platform, we collect the details you input to generate comparisons, such as your departure city, travel destination (e.g., Thailand), and your intended budget (e.g., ₹50,000).
• Device and Usage Information: We automatically collect basic information about how you access our site, including your IP address, browser type, device type (mobile or desktop), and the pages you interact with.
• No Sensitive Financial Data: PaperPlane does not collect, store, or process your credit card numbers, bank account details, or passport information. All actual financial applications occur on the secure websites of our third-party vendor partners.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data we collect primarily to make PaperPlane work effectively for you.

• Providing Core Services: Your travel destination and budget inputs are used in real-time to calculate the best forex routes, card combinations, and cash recommendations.
• Improving Our Platform: We analyze usage data to understand how visitors navigate our site, which helps us fix bugs, improve the mobile experience, and design better features (like our destination-specific tips).
• Security and Fraud Prevention: We monitor standard network traffic to detect and prevent malicious activity or unauthorized scraping of our rates.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers. We only share information in the following limited ways:

• Third-Party Vendors: When you click "Apply for this card" or "Get USD Now," you are redirected to our partner's website. We may share anonymized referral data with them to track which clicks came from PaperPlane, but we do not share your personal identity.
• Service Providers: We use trusted third-party tools (like web analytics and hosting services) to run our website. These providers only access the data necessary to perform their specific tasks and are obligated to protect it.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental request.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

PaperPlane uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure a smooth user experience.

• Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function, such as remembering your current search inputs as you navigate between the "Cash," "Cards," and "USD Route" tabs.
• Analytics Cookies: These help us understand traffic patterns and user behavior so we can continuously optimize the site's layout and performance.
• Your Control: You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept essential cookies, some parts of our comparison tool may not function correctly.

5. Third-Party Websites

Our website contains links to external banks, card issuers, and forex vendors. Once you leave PaperPlane to apply for a product, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of those specific third-party websites before submitting any personal or financial information to them.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited data we process. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our features or legal requirements. We will post any updates on this page and update the "Last Updated" date at the top.
