3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and manage your account and authenticate your identity.
- Run scheduled flight price searches according to your saved criteria.
- Send you email alerts when fares matching your criteria are found.
- Send transactional emails such as welcome messages, email verification, and password resets.
- Improve and develop the Service, including identifying usage patterns and diagnosing issues.

5. Third-Party Services
To operate TravelPlans.app we engage the following third-party service providers, each of whom may process some of your data:
- SerpApi — used to retrieve Google Flights data for your saved searches. Your search criteria (airports, dates) are sent to SerpApi to fulfil searches.
- Resend — used to deliver transactional emails (alerts, verification, password reset). Your email address is shared with Resend for delivery purposes.
- Stripe — used to process premium subscription payments. Payment card data is handled directly by Stripe and is not stored on our servers.

We select providers that maintain appropriate data protection standards and, where required, enter into data processing agreements with them.
