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.
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.
Analytics, ads, and cookies
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.
UFOUAP.net has integrated Google AdSense code for site verification and, after approval, advertising delivery. Google and authorized advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention under their own policies and user controls.
For readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, a Google-certified European regulations message provides consent, refusal, and management choices before analytics storage or personalized advertising signals are enabled. Readers can use Privacy and cookie settings in the site footer to reopen that message and change or withdraw consent.
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.
