Privacy Policy

Who we are

UFO News Archive (ufonewsarchive.com) is a research portal that collects UFO and UAP news headlines, case records, official document references and witness reports. Questions about this policy can be sent to info@ufonewsarchive.com.

Information we collect

• Visit statistics: pages viewed, referring page, time on page, and a random visitor ID stored in your browser. We use this to understand which pages are read.
• Sighting reports: when you use the Report a Sighting form we collect the details you enter, any photo or video you upload, an optional display name, and your email address.
• Spam protection: a one-way coded version of your IP address is kept for a short time to limit repeated submissions.
• Email: if you write to us, we keep your message and address to reply.

How we use it

• To publish approved sighting reports on the site.
• To contact you about your report if we have a question.
• To keep the site running, secure and free of spam.

Your email address is never published. If you did not give a display name, your report appears as "Anonymous witness".

What we share

We do not sell or rent personal information. We use service providers for hosting, storage and visit statistics, who process data only to provide those services. We may disclose information if required by law.

Retention

Published reports stay on the site as part of the archive. Rejected submissions and their uploads are deleted. You can ask us to remove your report or personal information at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including California, under the CCPA/CPRA, and the EU/UK, under the GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your information, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. See Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, or email records@ufonewsarchive.com with your request. We will not treat you differently for making a request.

Children

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Links to other sites

News items, sources and documents link to other publishers, whose own privacy policies apply.
