Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 30, 2026

This page explains information handled when you visit RocketMaterials.org or contact us. For privacy questions or requests, email contact@rocketmaterials.org. This notice describes the website as observed on the update date; tools and legal requirements may change.

Information You Provide

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send. If you submit a comment, the comment form collects the fields you enter (such as name, email, website and comment) and WordPress may record your IP address and browser information to help operate and protect the site. Approved comments may be public; your email address is not displayed as part of the comment.

Information Collected When You Visit

The website and its hosting/security services may process request logs such as IP address, browser/device details, requested pages and timestamps to deliver pages, troubleshoot errors and help prevent abuse. At the time of this update, the site loads Google Analytics through Google Site Kit and WordPress/Jetpack-related resources, including stats.wp.com. Analytics cookies with names beginning _ga were observed in a browser session. These services may receive visit and device information under their own privacy policies. Images may be served through i0.wp.com.

Cookies and Choices

Cookies may support analytics, comments, site functions and security. You can restrict or clear cookies in your browser, though some site functions may work differently. You can learn about Google’s privacy practices at Google Privacy Policy and its Analytics opt-out tools at Google Analytics Opt-out; see Automattic’s Privacy Policy for WordPress.com/Jetpack services. Browser controls and provider tools are not a substitute for any consent choice required by your location; we are reviewing the site’s consent setup.

Retailer and Affiliate Links

We sometimes link to third-party product or supplier sites. Visiting them is subject to their own privacy practices. We are evaluating affiliate programs but do not claim approval by Amazon Associates, Estes Rockets or eBay Partner Network. If we activate commission-bearing links, the retailer or network may use tracking identifiers or cookies to attribute a purchase. We will update this notice and our Affiliate Disclosure for actual participating programs and place a disclosure near paid recommendations.

How We Use and Retain Information

We use the information above to operate and secure the site, understand which pages are useful, respond to requests and moderate comments. Public comments can remain on the site until removed; correspondence and operational records may be kept as needed for the stated purposes and applicable obligations. We do not sell your submitted contact details. Service providers may process data for hosting, analytics and site functions; links to other sites take you outside our control.

Your Requests and Changes

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to certain processing. Contact contact@rocketmaterials.org with a privacy request; we may need to verify that it concerns your information. If our tools or practices change, we will update this notice and the date above.
