Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency in how we operate and earn revenue
1 Introduction
MyFlySpy is committed to transparency in all aspects of our operations. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships while providing value to our users. By using our website or subscribing to our service, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this disclosure.
2 What is an Affiliate Program?
An affiliate program is a partnership where we earn a small commission when you make a purchase through links we provide. This commission comes from the seller (e.g., airline or booking platform) and does not increase the price you pay. In fact, our links often include exclusive discounts not available elsewhere.
3 Our Affiliate Partnerships
We carefully select partners that align with our mission of helping travellers save money on flights. Our current affiliate partnerships include, but are not limited to:
- Airlines: Direct partnerships with major carriers for commission on bookings
- Online Travel Agencies (OTAs): Platforms like Skyscanner, Kiwi.com, and Booking.com
- Price Comparison Tools: Services that aggregate deals from multiple sources
- Credit Card Programs: Travel rewards cards that offer bonus points for bookings
- Travel Insurance Providers: For recommended insurance on long-haul deals
- Hotel Partners: For combined flight+hotel deals where applicable
We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe in and that we would use ourselves.
4 How We Earn Commissions
4.1 Flight Bookings
When you click a "Book Now" link in our emails or website and complete a purchase, we may earn a small percentage of the booking value (typically 1-5%). This does not affect your price.
4.2 Premium Memberships
Our premium features are monetized through direct subscriptions, with no affiliate component.
4.3 Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may feature sponsored deals. These are always clearly labeled as "Sponsored" and meet our quality standards.
4.4 Commission Structure
Commissions vary by partner:
- Airline direct bookings: Fixed fee per booking
- OTA bookings: Percentage of booking value
- Credit card sign-ups: Fixed bounty per approved application
- Other: Varies, but always disclosed if material
5 Our Commitment to Unbiased Recommendations
We prioritize user value over commissions. If a deal is great but has no affiliate link, we still share it. Our AI algorithm selects deals based on savings potential, not commission rates.
6 Transparency Practices
- All affiliate links are clearly disclosed
- We never accept payment to feature bad deals
- Our editorial content is independent of affiliate partnerships

7 Security and Data Protection Measures
We take security seriously to prevent data leaks and maintain trust:
7.1 Data Security
We use Beehiiv for subscriber management, which is ISO 27001 certified and uses end-to-end encryption. Your email and airport preferences are stored securely with access limited to essential staff.
7.2 Affiliate Link Security
All affiliate links are HTTPS-secured. We use cloaking to protect against tampering and monitor for malicious redirects. Our partners must meet strict security standards, including regular audits.
7.3 Preventing Data Leaks
We employ multiple layers of protection:
- Regular security audits by third-party experts
- Zero-knowledge architecture for sensitive data
- Automatic logging of unusual activity
- Employee training on data protection
- Compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy Directive
- Breach notification protocol (within 48 hours if required)
7.4 Incident Response
In the unlikely event of a data leak, we will:
- Notify affected users immediately
- Provide free credit monitoring if needed
- Cooperate with authorities
- Publish a detailed post-incident report
