# Privacy Policy

> Privacy Policy for the Urantia Papers API (urantia.dev)

**Last updated: October 6, 2026**

This privacy notice for Adams Technologies LLC, doing business as Urantia.dev ("we," "us," or "our"), describes how and why we might collect, store, use, and/or share your information when you use our services, including the API at api.urantia.dev and the documentation at urantia.dev.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact us at [team@urantiahub.com](mailto:team@urantiahub.com).

<Note>
  **Disclaimer:** Urantia.dev is an independent community project operated by Adams Technologies LLC, a Texas limited liability company. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected with Urantia Foundation. The Urantia Book text is in the public domain.
</Note>

## 1. Information We Collect

**API usage data collected automatically:**

When you make requests to our API, we automatically collect certain information including:

* A keyed hash of your IP address that changes every week. Our request logs do not store the IP address itself
* Your country, from the network edge
* Request path, method, and query parameters
* User-Agent header
* Response status codes and timing
* Referring URLs (if applicable)
* For the MCP server: the name and version that your MCP client sends when it connects, and the name of each tool it calls

This information is collected for security, rate limiting, analytics, and improving our services.

**Semantic search queries:**

Semantic search (on the API and the MCP server) sends the text of your query to OpenAI to compute an embedding. The query is not linked to an account.

**Feedback:**

If you send feedback through `POST /feedback`, we store the message and any contact details you choose to include, and we email it to the maintainers through Resend.

**Documentation site:**

When you visit our documentation site, standard web analytics data may be collected by our hosting provider (Mintlify), including page views, browser type, and referring URLs.

**We do not collect:**

* Personal names or email addresses, unless you include them in feedback (the API does not require registration)
* Payment information
* Cookies for tracking purposes on the API

## 2. How We Use Your Information

We process the information we collect to:

* Operate and maintain the API infrastructure
* Monitor and enforce rate limits
* Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security threats
* Analyze usage patterns to improve our services
* Debug errors and optimize performance

## 3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your information. We may share information with:

* Infrastructure providers who assist in operating our services (Cloudflare, Supabase, PostHog for request logs, BetterStack for uptime monitoring)
* OpenAI, to compute embeddings for semantic search queries
* Resend, to deliver feedback emails
* As required by law or to protect our legal rights
* In connection with a business transfer, merger, or acquisition

## 4. Data Retention

We keep data for these periods:

* **API request logs** (the fields listed in section 1): 14 days. After that they are deleted.
* **Aggregated counts** made from those logs, such as requests per endpoint: 30 days.
* **Feedback** you send through `POST /feedback`: until you ask us to delete it.
* **Edge analytics** kept by Cloudflare for traffic and security: under Cloudflare's own retention terms.

We do not keep long-term records of individual API requests.

## 5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect our infrastructure. However, no electronic transmission or storage technology is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

## 6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

* Request information about what data we hold related to your IP address
* Request deletion of your data
* Object to the processing of your information

To exercise these rights, contact us at [team@urantiahub.com](mailto:team@urantiahub.com).

**California residents:** Under the CCPA, you have additional rights including the right to know what personal information we collect and request deletion. We do not sell personal information.

**European residents:** Under the GDPR, we process your information based on legitimate interests (operating and securing our API). You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

## 7. International Data Transfers

Our services are hosted in the United States and distributed via a global CDN. API requests may be processed in various regions. By using our services, you consent to this processing.

## 8. Children

Our API is a developer tool and is not directed at children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

## 9. Updates to This Notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated date at the top of this page.
