Rocket Ecology (“we”, “our”, “this site”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit rocketecology.com, why it is collected, and the choices you have. It was last updated on 27 July 2026.

Comments

When you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comments form (name, email address, and the comment itself), along with your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it; the Gravatar privacy policy is available on their website. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a comment you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. We do not run advertising cookies or sell data to third parties.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos or maps. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited the other website, which may collect data about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically. We do not retain visitor data beyond standard server logs, which rotate automatically.

Your rights over your data

If you have left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we erase it. Contact us at [email protected] for either request.
