Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 22, 2026

1. Overview

UFO & UFOs is a read-only editorial website. We do not offer visitor accounts, comments, purchases, newsletters, or on-site contact forms, and we do not sell personal information. We aim to collect and retain only the information reasonably needed to operate, secure, and understand the Site.

2. Information handled when you visit

Our hosting and security infrastructure may temporarily process standard technical request data, such as an IP address, requested URL, date and time, browser or user-agent information, and error or security records. This data is used to deliver the Site, maintain reliability, prevent abuse, and investigate technical or security incidents.

3. Privacy-friendly analytics

We use a self-hosted instance of Umami to understand aggregate Site usage. Umami does not use cookies, collect personally identifiable information, fingerprint visitors, or track them across websites. It may produce anonymous or aggregated statistics such as pages visited, referrer, browser, operating system, device type, approximate country, visit time, and session duration.

The analytics data is kept on infrastructure controlled by us and is used only to understand readership and improve the Site. We do not use analytics for targeted advertising or to build identifiable visitor profiles.

4. Information you send by email

If you email us, we receive your email address and any name, message, attachments, or other information you choose to include. We use it to review and respond to your message, maintain appropriate correspondence records, protect our rights, and comply with legal obligations. Please do not send sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for your request.

5. Legal bases and purposes

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process limited technical and analytics information for our legitimate interests in operating, securing, measuring, and improving the Site. We process correspondence to respond to your request, based on our legitimate interests, steps requested by you, consent where applicable, or a legal obligation.

6. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell or rent personal information. Limited information may be handled by service providers that support our hosting, infrastructure, security, or email, subject to appropriate obligations. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect rights or safety, or address fraud and security threats.

7. Retention and security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, correspondence, and legal requirements, and then delete or anonymize it where appropriate. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Your choices and rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection regarding your personal information. You may submit a request by email. We may need to verify the request and may retain information where the law permits or requires it.

9. Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

10. International visitors

UFO & UFOs is operated from the Republic of Korea. If you visit from another country, the limited information described in this policy may be processed in the Republic of Korea, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the Site, our practices, or applicable requirements. We will post the revised policy here and update the effective date.
