Behind the Hover:
Terms, Policies, & Other Serious Science
At The Hovercraft Project, your trust means everything to us—
just like Newton's Laws, we take our responsibilities seriously
(but still like to have fun).
This page explains how we collect, use,
and protect your information when you visit our site, join our mailing list, interact with our resources, or hover over to our
social channels.
Affiliate + Sponsorship Disclosure
Some of the links on our site and emails are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them—at no additional cost to you.
We only recommend products and services we believe in, use ourselves, or think will genuinely benefit educators, parents, or kids. Our hovercrafts run on air, not ads—and we will always value your trust over clicks.
We also occasionally partner with brands or sponsors who align with our mission. All sponsored content is clearly marked, and we remain 100% transparent about collaborations.
Email Communications
When you sign up for Hover Mail, download a freebie, or fill out a form, you agree to receive occasional emails from us with STEM goodness, project updates, and hover-powered ideas. You can unsubscribe at any time—though we’ll miss you.
Your Privacy
We collect only the data necessary to serve you better—like your name and email address if you choose to subscribe to Hover Mail, download one of our freebies, or contact us. That data is stored securely and is never sold, traded, or given away, ever. We like good science, not shady business.
We may use cookies (not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately) to improve your browsing experience and help us understand what content is most helpful to our community.
Third-Party Tools & Services
To run The Hovercraft Project smoothly, we use third-party services for things like email delivery, payment processing, analytics, and embedded forms. These tools have their own privacy practices—we only partner with trusted platforms and do our best to ensure your data is handled safely.
However, we can’t control how third-party platforms operate, so we encourage you to check their privacy policies too (and only share what you're comfortable with).
Age Guidelines
The Hovercraft Project is dedicated to inspiring young minds, but our website and email list are not intended for children under 18 to subscribe independently. All online activities and subscriptions should be done with adult supervision and permission.
Terms of Use
By accessing this website, you agree not to copy, reproduce, sell, or misuse our content, downloads, or project materials. The content on this site is for educational and personal use only, and may not be redistributed or republished without written permission from The Hovercraft Project.
The Hovercraft Project is not liable for any outcomes, hovercraft crashes (just kidding), or actions taken based on information shared on this website.
Changes to This Policy
Like any good experiment, we may refine this policy as we grow and learn. We’ll update this page if anything changes, so feel free to check back.
