Privacy Policy

1. Overview

The UAP Archive (uforeleases.com, the "Site") is a free educational and research archive of declassified U.S. government documents concerning Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Site and how it is used.

The Site does not require registration, does not maintain user accounts, and does not collect personal data beyond the standard analytics described below.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, or phone number), and we do not ask you to provide it. The only information collected is anonymous, aggregated usage data gathered automatically — such as browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring source. This data is used to understand how the Site is used and to improve it.

3. Google Analytics

The Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to measure usage of the Site. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects information such as your IP address (in truncated/anonymized form), the pages you view, and time on page. This information helps us understand how visitors use the Site. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)

The Site may display advertisements served through Google AdSense and other third-party advertising services. These advertising vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites.

Google uses an advertising cookie (such as the DoubleClick cookie) that enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this Site and/or other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. The Site uses cookies set by Google services (Analytics and AdSense) to measure traffic and to serve advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking cookies will not prevent you from accessing the Site's content.

6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are located in the European Union (GDPR) or are a California resident (CCPA), you have rights regarding information collected about you, including the right to access your data, request its deletion, and object to its processing. Because we do not collect personally identifiable information and do not sell personal data, most of the data we process is anonymous and aggregated. You can manage consent for advertising cookies through the links provided in Section 4. For any privacy-related request, please contact us via the Contact page.

7. External Links

The Site contains links to external websites, including official government sources (such as war.gov). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated date will appear at the top of this page.
