Account and deletion descriptions updated: 6 October 2026, against the current development candidate. Public app release and on-device validation remain pending; other disclosures retain their previous review date.
UAP Hub is a project by Angel IT Studio (angelitstudio.com). These Terms are an agreement between you and Angel IT Studio, and they cover the Universal Anomaly Photographer iOS app, the website at uaphub.app, and the API at uaphub.app/api/ — together, the Service. By installing the app, using it, or sending data to the API, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
UAP Hub records photographs and video alongside a timestamped record of what your phone's sensors measured at the moment of capture — position, heading, orientation, magnetic field, barometric pressure, motion, and device state. It cryptographically signs that record on your device, uploads it to our server, and lets you coordinate with other observers in a live event room and receive alerts about sightings near you.
It is an instrument and a record-keeping tool. It is not a scientific authority, an emergency service, or a reporting channel to any government, military, or aviation body. Nothing the Service produces is an official report of anything, and no one at Angel IT Studio reviews, verifies, or endorses what you capture.
Every capture is hashed and signed on your device, and its sensor stream is linked together in a hash chain. This is a real guarantee, and it is a narrow one. Please understand the difference before you describe a capture to anyone else.
Do not represent a signed capture as proof that anything unexplained occurred. Do not let anyone else do so on the strength of the signature alone.
You must be legally able to enter into this agreement where you live. The Service does not verify identity and does not ask for or check your age. The current development candidate uses server-backed accounts and stores account session tokens in the iOS Keychain. Protect your account credentials, device and passcode. You are responsible for activity through your account and device on the Service.
You agree not to use the Service to do any of the following.
Separately, and just as importantly: do not endanger yourself or anyone else to get a capture. Do not record while driving. Do not trespass, enter restricted airspace or restricted ground, interfere with aircraft, emergency services, or military operations, or operate any vehicle or aircraft unlawfully. Local law about recording, drones, and restricted areas is your responsibility, and it varies enormously.
You should know this before you agree to anything else. Every photo and video you capture is uploaded to our server automatically, with no confirmation step and no opt-out.
Reading those uploads requires a credential. As of 5 August 2026, listing observations and fetching media both require a registered device or a signed-in account; before that date they required nothing, and anyone on the internet could retrieve them. Do not read the change as more than it is. Registering a device is the step that gets you a credential in the first place, so it cannot itself demand one — it is rate-limited and it verifies an Apple App Attest attestation when one is offered, but it does not yet require a valid attestation, and a device that offers none is still registered. Someone sufficiently determined can therefore still obtain a credential and read what other users can read.
What they read is not your exact position. When anyone other than you reads one of your observations, the server reduces the coordinate to a grid cell and states the uncertainty radius with it. Live event-room presence is the exception: inside a room your position is shared exactly, to everyone in that room.
The practical instruction has not changed much. Treat every capture as something you are sharing with the people who use this Service, not as something private. The Privacy Policy sets out the details, including which app settings reduce what.
You keep ownership of everything you capture and everything you write. We do not claim ownership of it, we do not sell it, and we do not licence it to advertisers or data brokers.
So that we can run the Service, you grant Angel IT Studio a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, back up, transmit, process, and display the content you upload, along with its metadata, for the purpose of operating and maintaining the Service. That includes serving it to the event rooms you take part in, and it includes serving it to other users of the Service through the observation and media endpoints, subject to the credential requirement and the coordinate reduction described above. The licence covers copies held in our backups, and it lasts as long as we hold the content.
You confirm that you have the rights to what you upload and that uploading it does not infringe anyone else's rights.
The Service is provided as-is and as-available, with no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or accuracy.
We do not warrant that the Service will be available or uninterrupted, that your data will be preserved, that uploads will succeed, that alerts will be delivered or delivered on time, or that any measurement the app reports is accurate. This is a small, self-hosted operation. It can go offline, lose data, change substantially, or be discontinued. We may add, change, or withdraw features at any time, including without notice.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Angel IT Studio will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, or for loss of data, loss of evidence, loss of profits, loss of opportunity, or reputational harm, arising out of or connected with your use of the Service, even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim arose (the app is currently free of charge, so this may be zero) or fifty US dollars.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Angel IT Studio against claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from content you upload, from your use of the Service, or from your breach of these Terms or of any law.
You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app. Deleting the app removes the data held on your device. It does not remove data you have already uploaded.
We may remove content, and may suspend or terminate access for any device or account, where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, or where we are required to by law. We may also discontinue the Service as a whole.
In the current candidate, "Delete My Data" first requests authenticated erasure of this device's uploaded observations and associated data when a device credential is present. If that request fails, local observations are kept so you can retry. After server confirmation, local observations, media and notes are removed, with any partial local failure reported. Without a device credential, the control deletes only the local observations. Deleting an individual observation follows the same server-first rule when registered. These controls do not claim to erase every local cache or every category of record.
Account deletion is a separate action: it removes the account, sessions, team memberships, invitations and its chat messages, and unlinks the account identity from retained uploaded evidence. It does not erase that evidence. Use the observation or device-data control if you also want uploaded evidence removed. If you cannot authenticate or need help with records those controls do not reach, contact support@angelitstudio.com.
One limitation applies either way, and is described more fully in the Privacy Policy: server backups are retained for a period, so a copy of deleted content may persist in a backup for up to that window after it is removed from the live store.
These Terms do not choose a governing law and do not name an exclusive court. That is deliberate rather than an oversight: we would rather say nothing than name a jurisdiction we have not confirmed. Which law applies to a dispute, and which courts may hear it, is therefore decided by the ordinary rules that a court applies when an agreement is silent.
If you are a consumer, you keep every protection given to you by the mandatory consumer law of the country you live in, and you may bring a claim in the courts there. Nothing here limits that.
Before starting any formal dispute, please write to support@angelitstudio.com and give us a fair opportunity to put the matter right. Either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will try to give notice in the app before it takes effect.
