Privacy Policy

Overview

Janah (“we”) builds travel tools: a website and the Terminal J mobile app. This policy explains exactly what we collect, what we deliberately do not, and how your information is handled. We keep collection to the minimum the service needs.

Information we collect

Your email address, when you sign in with Google. Flight details you add: airline code, flight number, and date. Locally on your device only: your last four searched airport codes and your sync settings. That is the full extent of personal data tied to you.

What we deliberately do not collect

We do not collect your name, passenger name, booking reference (PNR), ticket number, photo, phone number, age, gender, address, or your device location. These fields are never stored, even when present in a booking email.

How we collect it

Through Google Sign-In (email only), optional Gmail sync, optional Calendar sync, and manual entry in the app. Each sync is optional and off until you enable it.

Gmail and Calendar sync

If you enable Gmail sync, we request read-only access and scan recent booking emails solely to detect airline code, flight number, and date. Email subject and body are read in memory for matching only, never stored, never sent, never logged. Calendar sync reads upcoming events to extract the same three flight fields. Nothing else is retained.

Where your data is stored

Flight records sync to Google Firebase Firestore, hosted in the Dammam region. Each record holds your anonymous user ID and flight segments only. A broader set of operational data (gates, terminals, live times) stays on your device and never leaves it.

Identity and sign-in

The app creates an anonymous account on first use so it works without registration. Signing in with Google links your email to that account. We request only your email and an authentication token, with no additional permissions.

Third parties and data processors

We use flight data providers (FlightAware, Aviationstack, AeroDataBox) and these receive only flight numbers, dates, and airport codes, never your identity. WeatherAPI and Google Maps receive airport coordinates only. Google handles sign-in. Formspree processes contact form messages. Google Firebase stores your flight records under Google’s data processing terms.

Passport Link (Bluetooth beacon)

The Passport Link feature scans for your paired beacon to alert you when your passport moves away. All beacon data stays on your device for local alerts only. Nothing from the beacon is ever uploaded or shared.

Device location

We do not collect your device location. The app requests no GPS access on modern Android versions, and Bluetooth scanning is explicitly flagged to never derive location. Any coordinates in the app belong to airports, not to you.

Notifications

We use Google Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver flight alerts. This relies on an anonymous messaging token managed by Google. No backend profile is built from it.

What we don’t use

No analytics, no crash tracking, no advertising, no ad networks, and no cookies on our website. We do not track your browsing or build advertising profiles.

Contact form

When you send a message through our contact form, your name, email, subject, and message are processed by Formspree and delivered to hello@janah.app. They are used only to respond to you.

Your rights

You can access or delete your flight data from within the app, disable any sync at any time, and revoke Google or Gmail access from your Google account settings. Deleting your data removes it from our storage.
