SeatWiFi Chrome Extension

Last updated: February 15, 2026

Overview

SeatWiFi is a Chrome extension that displays WiFi provider badges (Starlink, Viasat, Gogo, etc.) on Google Flights search results. We are committed to transparency: the extension collects the minimum data necessary to function and nothing more.

Data the Extension Accesses
Flight numbers

The extension reads flight numbers (e.g., UA1234, AA100) from the Google Flights page DOM. These flight numbers are sent to the SeatWiFi API (seatwifi.com/api/v1/flights/:flight_number) to look up WiFi provider information.

Local cache

API responses are cached locally on your device using chrome.storage.local with a 24-hour expiry. This data never leaves your browser and is automatically cleared after expiry.

What We Do NOT Collect
-- Personal information or identity
-- Login credentials or accounts
-- Browsing history
-- Cookies or session data
-- Location data
-- Analytics or tracking data
Third-Party Services

The extension communicates only with the SeatWiFi API (seatwifi.com). No data is sent to any other third-party service. We do not use analytics, advertising networks, or external tracking tools.

Extension Permissions
Host permission: google.com/travel/flights

Required to read flight numbers from the Google Flights page and inject WiFi provider badges into the search results.

Storage

Used to cache API responses locally so repeat lookups are instant and reduce API calls.

Data Retention

Cached data is stored locally on your device and automatically expires after 24 hours. The SeatWiFi API does not log or store the flight number queries made by the extension.

Contact

If you have questions about this privacy policy, please reach out via the feedback page or open an issue on our GitHub repository.

TL;DR

SeatWiFi reads flight numbers from Google Flights, looks up WiFi data from our API, and caches results locally. That is it. No personal data, no tracking, no third parties.
