We Hate Spam

We hate spam. Kayak does not participate in sending unsolicited bulk email to people. We have a newsletter and fare alerts that you can request, but you (the user) need to request it, and you can opt out of it at any time.

At Kayak, we know our success as a business depends completely on gaining and keeping your trust. We will never sell or give your email address to any other company or organization, for any purpose. When you give us your email, it is used only for maintenance of your account, and sending any alerts or newsletters that you request.

We have several affiliate marketing programs, which means that we share advertising revenue with other companies that generate traffic to Kayak. In general, our affiliates are major, reputable businesses that share our vision of providing a useful service to users. However, along with these responsible affiliates, we occasionally come across one who tries to generate traffic by spam, adware, malware or other annoying and distasteful means. Any such activity is a direct violation of our affiliate policies. If we detect it, those losers will not get paid by us.

If you find spammers or adware bothering you, and they are sending you to Kayak, please report it to us immediately. If you can, include links or email headers, so we can trace them and make sure they don't get paid.
