Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Summary
Ukraine Truth is a static website with minimal data collection. There are no user accounts, no cookies, and no analytics tracking. The only data we collect is what you voluntarily submit through our contact and source suggestion forms.
Minimal Data Collection
This site is built as a fully static website served from a CDN. It does not have:
- User accounts or login systems
- Cookies or local storage for tracking purposes
- Analytics, telemetry, or tracking scripts
- Third-party advertising or marketing tools
Forms
This site has two forms that collect voluntarily submitted data:
Source Suggestions
Each event page includes a form where you can suggest additional news sources that cover the same event. When you submit this form, the following data is collected:
- The URL you provide and the outlet name
- Any optional notes or your name (only if you choose to provide them)
- The event ID the form was submitted from (automatically included)
The submitted URL is fetched server-side during validation, which means the target server will see a request from Netlify’s infrastructure. If your suggestion is approved, the source attribution becomes part of the public event record.
Contact Form
The About page includes a contact form. When you submit this form, the following data is collected:
- Your subject and message (required)
- Your name and email address (only if you choose to provide them)
Both forms are validated by a server-side edge function hosted on Netlify. Approved submissions are sent to a private editorial channel for review. No form data is stored in a database or shared with third parties. Anti-spam measures include a honeypot field, submission timing checks, and rate limiting.
Client-Side Features
The Event Explorer uses an SQLite database that runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. All queries are processed locally on your device — no data is sent to any server. The database may be cached in your browser's IndexedDB for performance, but this data stays on your device and is never transmitted.
The search feature (powered by Pagefind) also runs entirely in your browser. Search queries are not logged or transmitted anywhere.
Hosting
This site is hosted on Netlify. Like all web servers, Netlify automatically logs basic connection data (IP address, browser type, pages requested) as part of standard web server operation. These logs are managed by Netlify under their own privacy policy.
External Links
This site contains links to external news sources and articles. When
you follow these links, you leave Ukraine Truth and are subject to the
privacy policies of those external sites. We include
rel="noopener noreferrer"
on external links to prevent referrer leakage.
