Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how UFOUAP.net handles information connected with browsing, contact messages, and public sighting submissions. The site is an archive and reference publication, not a social network or open community platform.
Advertising controls and provider information
Information we may collect
When readers browse the site, basic technical information may be processed by hosting, security, and analytics services, such as pages visited, approximate device information, browser type, and general traffic patterns.
When a reader submits a sighting lead or contacts the archive, the site may collect the submitted text, source links, uploaded or linked media, location details provided by the submitter, and the contact email supplied for verification follow-up.
How the information is used
Submitted information is used to review source material, verify consent, decide whether a lead is suitable for publication, correct archive pages, and respond to privacy or rights requests.
The archive does not sell personal information. Contact emails connected with submissions are used for verification follow-up, correction requests, withdrawal requests, or related editorial communication.
Advertising, cookies and your choices
The site may use Vercel Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and improve archive pages. Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies; its page-view statistics are aggregated and are not tied to an identifiable user profile.
When Google Analytics 4 is enabled, it measures page views, engagement time, navigation paths, approximate location, and device or browser information. Analytics storage remains denied by default and is enabled only according to the reader's consent choices; the archive does not use GA4 to sell personal information.
AdSense ad delivery is currently paused on this site. The Google publisher account verification remains in place; it does not mean that the site has been approved to show ads.
If Google advertising is enabled in the future, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this site or other websites. Google advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to personalize ads based on those visits. Depending on the service and your choices, advertising services may process IP addresses, browser identifiers, cookies, web beacons and similar technologies for delivery, measurement and fraud prevention.
You can opt out of Google personalized advertising in Ads Settings. AboutAds provides choices for some other participating advertising vendors. These controls do not remove all advertising and do not replace this site’s consent choices where consent is required.
Before enabling advertising, the site must configure and verify an appropriate Google-certified consent management platform for readers in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland. When a consent message is available, the footer privacy settings can reopen it to change or withdraw choices. If no message is available, that control links to this policy. Analytics storage is denied by default; this default alone is not proof of consent. Contact the address below for privacy requests.
Corrections, removal, and contact
Readers may contact netsnower@gmail.com to request correction, removal, or limitation of personal information connected with a sighting submission or contact message.
The archive may retain non-personal source notes, public records, or editorial context when needed to preserve the integrity of a published archive page, but personal contact details can be reviewed separately.
