Privacy Policy

Aervith is an information website for airport, airline, route, and theoretical flight-distance lookups. The site currently does not provide user accounts, user profiles, bookings, payments, or user-generated publishing tools.

This page describes what the current codebase processes today. If the production hosting setup adds analytics, cookies, customer support tooling, or other third-party services in the future, this policy should be updated before those changes go live.

The current application mainly processes the following categories of information:

• Search input and request parameters that you type into airport, airline, or distance search fields so the site can return matching results.
• URL parameters and path values used to render direct pages such as airport pages, airline pages, distance pages, and the shareable advanced multi-path distance calculator.
• Standard request metadata that may exist at the browser, server, CDN, or hosting layer, such as IP address, request time, browser type, and requested URL.

The current app code does not intentionally write user search terms, user profiles, or user-submitted personal data into the project SQLite database.

Airport and airline autocomplete requests are sent to internal application endpoints so the site can show search suggestions. The advanced multi-path distance calculator also supports shareable query parameters that encode selected airport slugs in the page URL.

In the current codebase, these values are used to provide search, page rendering, and distance calculation features. They are not intentionally persisted by the application as long-term user records.

Because search requests and shareable URLs travel through normal HTTP requests, they may still appear in browser history, reverse-proxy logs, CDN logs, or hosting-platform logs outside this repository.

The current application code does not intentionally set analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or local browser storage for user tracking.

The repository also does not currently include a dedicated analytics integration such as Google Analytics, Plausible, PostHog, Mixpanel, or similar tracking tooling.

The current site uses processed information to:

• return airport and airline search suggestions,
• render stable airport, airline, and distance pages,
• calculate theoretical flight distances and distance matrices,
• support route, hub, and network detail views, and
• diagnose operational issues through normal application errors or infrastructure logs, when those logs are available in the deployment environment.

The current site does not provide user accounts and does not maintain a user database of personal profiles.

The primary SQLite database is used for curated reference data about airports, airlines, and routes. That database is built from project data files and supporting import scripts, not from public user submissions.

Distance results are derived from airport coordinate data and a local calculation script that runs inside the application environment. The current live architecture does not rely on a third-party distance API to calculate those results.

The current application includes outbound links to third-party websites such as Wikipedia and airline websites when those links are present in the project data.

On supported distance pages and airport pages, optional map modules can load MapLibre GL JS and OpenStreetMap raster tiles after a user clicks Show Map. When that happens, the browser requests map assets and tiles needed to render the revealed map.

The site also depends on whatever hosting or infrastructure provider the owner chooses for deployment. That provider may process standard request logs, caching data, or security telemetry as part of normal website operation.

Because the current site does not provide user accounts, most privacy-related choices are practical ones: you can decide not to use search fields, not to share calculator URLs, and not to open outbound links.

If you need to contact the site owner about this policy or a privacy question, a public contact method should be added before launch.

This policy may be updated as the site changes. When material features are added, such as analytics, cookies, accounts, forms, or additional third-party services, this page should be revised so it remains accurate.

The most current version of this policy will be published at /privacy-policy.
