UFO Coin — Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 12, 2026
1. Introduction
UFO Coin ("we", "us", or "our") provides crypto community content, UFO storytelling, and social content publishing workflows. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website and related services.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
If you contact us directly (for example by email), we may collect your name, email address, and message content so we can respond.
2.2 Community Account Information
When you create a community member account, we may collect your email address, username, avatar, X handle, and a password hash for authentication. We may also store limited account metadata such as a system-generated user identifier, permission level, signup timestamps, and optional subscription preferences. This information is used to create and manage your account, verify your identity, provide community access, and help prevent misuse. Your username, avatar, and X handle may be displayed to other community members in public or semi-public areas of the site, such as member lists, messaging interfaces, or related community features. We do not share your email address with other users or the public.
2.3 Email Notifications and Explicit Opt-In
We only use email to send updates, alerts, or other notifications if you explicitly ask for them through a clear and visible opt-in flow on the website. We do not use hidden checkboxes, pre-checked boxes, implied consent, or silent signup behavior. If you do not clearly request email notifications, we do not send them.
2.4 Information Collected Automatically
We may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, referrer, and interaction events to operate, secure, and improve our services.
2.5 Social and Platform Interaction Data
Our automation and publishing stack may process limited metadata from third-party platforms such as X, Instagram, Facebook, and Telegram, where applicable to post scheduling, moderation, token status checks, and webhook handling. We do not collect or store private direct messages or other sensitive private content from social platforms unless it is explicitly provided by you for a support or verification purpose.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and content systems
- Create and manage community member accounts and access permissions
- Generate and publish UFO story content across social channels
- Monitor API health, security events, and service reliability
- Respond to support or moderation-related communications
- Comply with legal obligations and lawful requests
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited account and operational data with trusted processors and infrastructure providers only as needed to run our services, including hosting, analytics, AI/media generation, social platform APIs, and email delivery. We only send email to the address you explicitly provide or confirm through the website's opt-in flow, and we do not use email for undisclosed marketing or sneaky notifications. We do not share your email address with other users or the public, and we do not share your account information with unrelated third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, security, and measurement. You can manage cookie settings in your browser. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.
6. Third-Party Services and Links
Our services rely on third-party providers and social networks. Their privacy practices are governed by their own terms and policies, and we encourage you to review them directly.
7. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for operations, security, analytics, moderation, and legal compliance. Temporary verification codes are kept only for the short period required to complete verification and are then expired or removed. If you request email notifications, we retain the minimum information needed to honor that request until you change or revoke your preference.
8. Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect data. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.
9. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed at children under the age required by applicable law.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
