Personal data that we process

UAPCNL processes your personal data because you use our services and/or because you provide this data to us yourself. We process the following data:

  • Donors: First and last name, email address, address details (if provided via the payment method), bank account number or credit card details (anonymized via Stripe/PayPal) and payment history.

  • UAP Witnesses: Name, email address, location data of the sighting and the content of your testimony (including any attachments).

  • Website visitors: IP address, browser data and surfing behaviour (via cookies/Cloudflare).

  • Contact form: Name, email address and the content of your message.


Purposes and bases of the processing

We process your data based on the following legal bases of the GDPR:

  1. Execution of an agreement: To process your donation and communicate about it.

  2. Legal obligation: As an ANBI foundation, we are obliged to retain financial data for the Tax Authorities for 7 years.

  3. Consent: To register UAP testimonials and answer questions via the contact form.

  4. Legitimate interest: For the security and optimization of our website (via Cloudflare).


Sharing personal data with third parties

UAPCNL does not sell your data to third parties. We share your data only with external parties that are necessary for our business operations:

  • TransIP: Our hosting provider for the website and WordPress environment.

  • Google Workspace (Non-Profit): For our email correspondence and the secure storage of documents.

  • Stripe & PayPal: For the secure processing of payments and donations. Stripe and PayPal act as data controllers for the payment transaction.

  • Cloudflare: For the security of the website and to ensure global speed.

International transfer: Because we use Google, Stripe, PayPal, and Cloudflare, your data may be processed on servers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), primarily in the United States. These parties are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures an adequate level of protection in accordance with the GDPR.


How long we keep personal data

We do not store your data for longer than is strictly necessary:

  • Donation details: 7 years (tax retention obligation).

  • Witness statements: These will remain in our archive for research purposes unless you request their removal.

  • Contact details: Maximum 2 years after the last contact, unless there are compelling reasons.


Cookies and similar technologies

We use the GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin to manage your preferences.

  • Essential cookies: For site security (Cloudflare) and payment fraud prevention (Stripe/PayPal). These are enabled by default.

  • Analytical & Tracking cookies: We only load these cookies after you have given your consent via the cookie banner. You can change your settings at any time via the settings button on our website.


Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos from YouTube). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you were visiting the other website. These websites may collect data about you and set cookies.

You have the following rights:

  • Right to access, correct or delete your data.
