Fine Print
We collect only what you choose to give us. There are three places you can do that:
Beyond that we collect nothing automatically except the standard request logs our host keeps (IP address, browser type, pages requested), which are used for security and diagnostics.
Newsletter addresses are used only to send UFO.events dispatches. Contact messages are used only to reply to you. We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Event submissions are different, and you should read this part. If we approve your event, the details you submit — event name, organizer name, date, location, venue, description and ticket link — are published publicly in our directory. Do not put anything in those fields you don't want visible on the open web. The contact email you give us is used only to reach you about the listing; it is not published.
UFO.events participates in the Amazon Associates Program and the Eventbrite affiliate program. Some links on this site — in the gear and bookshelf sections, and on some event listings — are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Those programs may set their own cookies and track the click on their side once you leave our site. That tracking is governed by their privacy policies, not this one. We never receive your payment details from them — only aggregate commission reporting.
Featured listing payments are handled entirely by PayPal. We never see, receive or store your card number or bank details. What we receive from PayPal is confirmation that a payment cleared and the email address associated with it.
The site runs on Netlify, which hosts our pages and processes and stores our form submissions. News and event content is fetched from public RSS feeds and web sources. We embed a Spotify player and link out to YouTube; those embeds are subject to their own policies. PayPal handles payments as described above. Each of these services has its own privacy policy.
UFO.events sets no tracking or analytics cookies of its own. Embedded third-party content (the Spotify player, YouTube links, affiliate programs) may set cookies once you interact with it.
We keep form submissions for as long as they're useful — newsletter addresses until you unsubscribe, event submissions for as long as the listing is live plus a reasonable archive period.
You can ask us at any time to tell you what we hold about you, correct it, remove your address from the newsletter, or take down a listing you submitted. Email HHK@UFO.events and we'll action it.
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
If we change this policy we'll update the effective date at the top. Material changes will be noted on the site.
