Privacy & cookies

Last updated 24 September 2026.

Dayhop finds day trips out of your airport and shows you where to book them. We don’t sell anything ourselves — every booking happens on someone else’s site.

Dayhop is run by Martin Zlatkov, a sole trader in England, who is the data controller for everything described here. The address for any of it is dayhop.support@gmail.com.

You can use the whole search without an account. Signing in is only needed to save trips and keep a travel log, and what that adds is set out below.

What we store in your browser

These are needed for the site to work, so they’re set without asking:

• Your search settings — the address or postcode you type into “Where do you start?”, and your door-to-airport time and cost. They stay in your own browser and are never sent to us.
• City photos — the photo chosen for each city, cached so pages load faster.
• Your cookie choice — so we don’t ask again on every visit.

All of this lives in your browser’s local storage. Clearing your browser data removes it.

Ads and booking partner cookies (only with your permission)

If you accept all cookies, Dayhop shows ads from Google AdSense. Google sets cookies to measure and choose them, and you can change what Google uses at My Ad Center. Choose “Essential only” and no ad script is loaded at all.

If you accept all cookies, we load a script from Travelpayouts, our affiliate network. When you click through to a booking site it records that the visit came from Dayhop, so that if you book, the site pays us a small commission. It never costs you more than going direct. If you choose “Essential only”, the script isn’t loaded at all — the booking links still work, we just don’t get paid for them.

If you sign in

Signing in is optional. It uses your Google account, and Google tells us three things: your name, your email address, and an id that identifies you to us. We use them to know it is you and to show your name in the corner. We do not get your password, your contacts or anything else in your Google account, and we do not use your email to market anything.

Once you are signed in, we keep on our server:

• Trips you save — the route, date and price you saw when you saved them.
• Your travel log — the trips you confirm you took: the airports, the dates, whether it was one way, and what you tell us it cost. You type that last one in; we never see your bank.
• A sign-in cookie — dh_session, so you stay signed in between visits. It holds a random token, nothing about you.

If you become a member, payment is handled by Stripe: you type your card details on Stripe’s page, not ours, and Stripe keeps them under its own privacy policy. Stripe tells us your customer id, which plan you are on, whether it is paid up and when it renews, and we keep those alongside your account. We never see or store your card number. Stripe also keeps the record of your payments, which UK law requires to be kept for six years.

This is stored in Cloudflare D1, our database, inside Cloudflare’s network. It is not sold, not shared with our booking partners, and not used to build an advertising profile.

You can edit or delete any trip in your log yourself, at any time, by tapping it. Signing out ends the session. To have the account and everything in it deleted, email us and we will do it.

When you leave Dayhop

Booking, tour and compensation links take you to other companies — Aviasales, Kiwi.com, KKday and AirHelp among them. Once you’re on their site, their own privacy policy and cookies apply, not ours.

What our server sees

• Your searches — airports and dates are sent to our server so it can ask the flight sources for prices. They aren’t tied to you, and we don’t build a profile.
• Your IP address — used briefly, in memory, to stop one visitor overloading the site, and by our host, Cloudflare, to serve and protect the site. We don’t keep server logs of your visits.
• Your location — only if you press “Use my location”, and only to turn the coordinates into a street address for your journey to the airport. Your browser asks you first, and we don’t store it.

Prices and flight times come from Aviasales and Google Flights; maps and directions come from Google; photos come from Wikimedia Commons and Unsplash. Those requests are made by our server where we can, so your details stay here — except the directions map, which your browser loads from Google.

Your rights

If you have never signed in, we hold nothing that identifies you and there is nothing to look up. If you have, you can ask us for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — and most of it you can already do yourself from the travel log.

To ask for any of that, or about anything on this page, email dayhop.support@gmail.com. If you are in the UK you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

We keep your account and your log until you ask us to delete them, or until the account has gone unused for three years, whichever comes first.
