This Privacy Policy explains what data Spinning Jack ("we", "us", "the site", accessible at spinningjack.co) collects when you visit, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. We keep this short and plain because the goal is for you to actually understand it.

Who we are

Spinning Jack operates the website spinningjack.co, a tool for checking airline pet policies and pet travel requirements. For any privacy question or request, contact us at hello@spinningjack.co.

What we collect

We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, address, or payment details. The site is free and does not sell products directly. What we do collect falls into two groups.

Information you enter into the tool

When you use the eligibility engine, you enter details like your pet's species, breed, weight, and your route. This is processed to return a result and is not used to identify you personally. We may analyze this in aggregate to understand which airlines and routes are searched most.

Information collected automatically

When you visit, certain analytics and advertising tools collect technical and usage data such as your approximate location, device and browser type, pages viewed, and how you interact with the site. This is done through the third-party services listed below.

Third-party services we use

We rely on the following processors. Each has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate or referral links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is how the site stays free. Affiliate partners may place their own cookies once you click through to their site, governed by their privacy policies, not ours.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics and affiliate tracking. Essential cookies that make the site work are always active. Non-essential cookies (analytics and advertising) load only after you give consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time. For details on the specific cookies, see our Cookie Policy.

Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your data on these bases: consent for analytics and advertising cookies, which you give through the cookie banner, and legitimate interest for keeping the site secure and functional. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your data. Under GDPR (EEA and UK) you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, object to processing, and request data portability. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) you can request disclosure of data collected and ask us not to sell or share it. We do not sell personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@spinningjack.co. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Romania, this is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP).

Data retention

Analytics data is retained according to the default periods set by Google Analytics and PostHog, typically up to 14 months. Affiliate cookies expire according to each partner's policy, usually between 30 and 90 days.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves or as the law changes. The date at the top reflects the latest version. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
