Introduction

The Universal Human Project ("we," "us," or "our") is based in Southwest Florida and operates the website theuniversalhumanproject.org (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how information about visitors ("you" or "your") is collected, used, and disclosed when you visit our Site.

Our Site is hosted on and built with Wix.com ("Wix"). By using our Site, you also agree to Wix's own Privacy Policy, available at [https://www.wix.com/about/privacy](https://www.wix.com/about/privacy).

Information We Collect

We do not personally collect, store, or process your personal data through this Site. However, our hosting platform (Wix) and its integrated third-party analytics service (TWIPLA) automatically collect certain information when you visit the Site.

Our TWIPLA analytics operates in Light Privacy Mode, which is the least restrictive data collection setting. Under this mode, the following information may be collected:

- Device and browser information such as browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and device type

- Usage data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, click activity, scroll behavior, and referring/exit pages

- IP address your full IP address is collected and visible in analytics reports; it is not anonymized under Light Privacy Mode

- Geographic location your approximate location derived from your IP address, including country, region, and city

- Page history a record of the pages you visit on the Site during your session

- Session data including date and time of visit, session duration, and navigation paths

Because Light Privacy Mode collects full visitor data including IP addresses, cookie consent is required from visitors before analytics tracking begins. You will be prompted to accept or decline cookies upon visiting the Site.

Session Recordings

We use Wix's Session Recordings feature, powered by TWIPLA, to record a limited number of visitor sessions each month. These recordings capture how visitors interact with the Site, including mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and page navigation.

Session Recordings are used solely to understand visitor behavior and improve the user experience of the Site. Key details:

- Volume: We use the free tier, which records a limited number of sessions per month (up to 10 sessions).

- Selection: Sessions are selected randomly by the platform; we do not choose which visitors are recorded.

- No personal input capture: Session recordings do not intentionally capture text typed into form fields, passwords, or payment information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Because our analytics operate in TWIPLA Light Privacy Mode, the Site uses cookies and requires your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You will be presented with a cookie consent prompt when you first visit the Site.

Cookies used on the Site may include:

Essential cookies required for basic site operations, security (CSRF protection), and session management; these do not require consent

Analytics cookies used by TWIPLA and Wix to collect usage data about how visitors interact with the Site; these require your consent

Preference cookies used to remember visitor settings such as language or layout preferences

If you decline analytics cookies, TWIPLA will not track your visit or collect the data described in this policy. You can also manage or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site.
