Privacy, Cookies, Analytics, And Advertising

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 11, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how UAP Radar collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit uapradar.com, read articles, use search, open source links, or submit a sighting report.

UAP Radar is an informational website that tracks public reporting, official releases, research, witness reports, and clearly labeled speculative claims. The site is not a government agency, law enforcement service, emergency service, medical service, or legal service.

Information We Collect

We may collect information in three general ways: information your browser sends automatically, information collected by analytics or advertising tools, and information you choose to submit.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the site, hosting providers, security tools, analytics services, and browser technology may process technical information such as your IP address, approximate location inferred from your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, links clicked, date and time of access, and diagnostic data used to keep the site secure and functional.

Information You Submit

If you use a sighting report form or any future contact, correction, or submission feature, you may provide details such as a location, date, time, description, source link, contact information, and supporting materials. Do not submit private personal details, sensitive personal information, classified information, confidential employment material, or information about another person unless you have permission to do so.

Public Report Context

If a submitted sighting is later reviewed for publication, UAP Radar may publish a summarized version that removes direct contact information and uses approximate location context where appropriate. Published entries may still include general details such as date, region, description, source type, verification status, and links to public source material.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website.
  • Measure page performance, traffic, search usage, and content engagement.
  • Review submitted sightings, corrections, sources, or article suggestions.
  • Classify content by source type, category, priority, and verification status.
  • Detect spam, abuse, security incidents, broken links, and technical errors.
  • Comply with applicable law, platform rules, and publisher policies.
  • Display advertising if advertising is enabled on the site.

Cookies And Similar Technologies

Cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, and similar technologies may be used to keep the site working, measure traffic, prevent abuse, remember limited browser-side preferences, and support advertising. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect analytics, ads, embedded services, or some future site features, but the core public articles should remain readable.

Google Analytics

UAP Radar uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, session duration, approximate location, device and browser information, referral source, and interactions with site content. This helps us improve page speed, navigation, article structure, search, and content quality.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use Google services at Google's partner sites policy. Google also provides a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Advertising And Google AdSense

UAP Radar may display advertising, including ads served by Google AdSense or other advertising partners. If ads are enabled, advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, and similar technologies to serve ads, limit repeated ads, measure ad performance, detect fraud, and personalize or contextualize advertising where allowed.

Google and third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to UAP Radar or other websites. Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can manage Google ad personalization at Google Ad Settings. You can also learn more about advertising cookies at Google's advertising technologies page.

If UAP Radar uses personalized advertising in regions where consent is required, the site should request and honor required consent choices before personalized ads or related storage are used. This includes regions covered by Google's EU User Consent Policy, such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

Third-Party Links And Sources

UAP Radar links to official records, public documents, news articles, research pages, videos, archives, and other third-party websites. Those sites are controlled by their own operators and may have different privacy practices. Opening an external link may allow the destination site to receive your IP address, browser information, referral information, and other technical data.

Information Sharing

We do not sell sighting submissions or contact information. We may share or process information with service providers that help operate the site, including hosting, analytics, advertising, security, search, form handling, email, backup, and content review tools. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect site security, to investigate abuse, or to protect the rights, safety, and integrity of UAP Radar, users, sources, or the public.

Retention

Technical logs, analytics records, and advertising records may be retained according to the settings and retention practices of the relevant providers. Sighting submissions, source suggestions, correction requests, and editorial notes may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to review, verify, document, or correct site content. Published public records and article summaries may remain online unless removed or updated through editorial review.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site and reduce unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. No website, hosting platform, form, email system, analytics tool, or advertising service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children's Privacy

UAP Radar is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us so the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

Your Choices And Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or objection regarding personal information. You may also have rights related to targeted advertising, sale or sharing of personal information, and profiling. To exercise privacy rights, contact UAP Radar at [email protected].

You can also control many data uses directly through browser cookie settings, Google Ad Settings, Google Analytics opt-out tools, mobile device advertising settings, and privacy controls provided by your browser or operating system.

California And U.S. State Privacy Notices

Some U.S. state privacy laws require additional disclosures for categories of personal information, purposes of use, and rights to opt out of certain advertising or data sharing practices. UAP Radar may process identifiers, internet activity information, approximate location information, submitted report content, and inferences from site usage for the purposes described in this policy. If advertising is enabled, certain advertising-related data processing may be considered targeted advertising or sharing under some state laws.

International Visitors

UAP Radar is operated from the United States. If you access the site from outside the United States, information may be processed in the United States and other countries where service providers operate. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from the laws where you live.

Do Not Track And Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. The internet ecosystem does not use one uniform standard for every signal. Where legally required and technically supported by our tools, UAP Radar will make reasonable efforts to honor applicable opt-out preference signals.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site adds features such as advertising, source ingestion, public submissions, maps, account tools, newsletters, or other services. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised date.
