Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At Rocket Model Toys (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operating through rockethobbystore.com, we value your privacy as much as we value precision in our 13mm to 54mm rocket components. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website or purchase our high-quality rocketry products.

1. Information We Collect

Just as we carefully select materials for our motor retainers, we carefully handle the following types of information:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase (whether it’s 18mm motors or 98mm retainers), we collect your name, email, shipping address, and payment details (processed securely through our encrypted gateway).
• Order Information: Details about your rocketry purchases, including motor sizes, tube diameters, and accessories.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device information to ensure our website performs as reliably as our 29mm to 54mm tube adapters.
• Communication Data: Any correspondence with our team regarding your orders or rocketry questions.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the same precision we apply to crafting our altimeters and couplers:

• To process and fulfill your orders for motors, tubes, and retainers
• To provide customer support for your rocketry projects
• To improve our website and product offerings (like our popular 24mm motor range)
• To send important updates about your orders or our policies
• To prevent fraud and ensure compliance with international safety regulations for high-power rocketry components

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We treat your data with more security than we do our most powerful 54mm motors:

• Service Providers: We share necessary information with payment processors (like PayPal) and shipping carriers to complete your orders.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, particularly for high-thrust motor purchases that require regulatory compliance.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred, with appropriate privacy protections.

We never sell your data to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

We protect your information with the same engineering excellence we apply to our 38mm retainers:

• All transactions are encrypted with 256-bit SSL technology
• Payment details are processed through PCI DSS compliant systems
• We implement robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access
• Data is stored on secure servers with limited access

While we take all reasonable precautions, no online system can be 100% secure – just as no rocket launch is completely risk-free.

5. Your Rights

You have control over your data, much like you have control over your rocket’s flight path:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data we hold
• Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request removal of your personal data, subject to legal requirements
• Objection: Opt-out of certain data processing activities
• Restriction: Limit how we use your data in specific circumstances

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – small data files – to enhance your experience, just as our adhesives enhance your rocket’s structural integrity:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for basic functions like adding 13mm motors to your cart
• Performance Cookies: Help us improve our website’s functionality
• Analytics Cookies: Allow us to understand how enthusiasts navigate our site

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings, though this may affect some website features.

7. International Data Transfers

As we serve rocketry enthusiasts worldwide (excluding some Asian and remote regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally, just as we update our product line with new motor sizes and retainers. Significant changes will be communicated to you.

Thank you for trusting Rocket Model Toys with your rocketry needs and your personal data. Now get back to what really matters – planning your next launch!
