(including payment authorisation), to provide you with the best possible service and to
assist in developing the sites content.
We will only e-mail members with our regular e mail newsletters until
you tell us you do not wish to receive them. Others will only be sent our
email newsletter if you specifically ask to be included on the distribution list.

third party companies in the future. The type of information we will collect about you includes:
- your name

- e-mail address
- Regimental/Corps and other course details at the Academy
- other personal information that you may choose to provide us with via our membership account details

Cookies and Third Party Links
We may use technology to track the patterns of behaviour of registered and
non-registered visitors to our site. This can include using a "cookie" which
would be stored on your browser. You can usually modify your browser to prevent
this happening (for example, using Internet Explorer select 'internet options' from
the 'tools' menu, then click 'security', followed by 'custom level' and select 'disable cookies').
The information collected in this way can be used to identify you unless you modify your browser
settings. We also aggregate this data to perform statistical analyses of the characteristics
and behaviour of our registered users and non-registered visitors. Cookies are also used as
a further means of ensuring private and secure purchase sessions are operated within the site.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements on our behalf.
These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons)
to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies
and action tags is completely anonymous. Your browser can be modified to not accept cookies
- guidance for which is provided in the paragraph above.
Every time you connect to our website we store a log of your visit which shows the unique
number your machine uses when it is connected to the internet (IP address). This tells us what
you looked at; whether the page request was successful or not and which browser you use to
view the pages. The use of this data is strictly for statistical purposes only.
This helps us to understand which areas of the site are of particular interest and
also which pages are not being requested. It also tells how many people are visiting
the website in total.
The Sandhurst Foundation may amend this policy from time to time.
If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal
information we will notify you by email or an announcement on the website.
If you have any questions/comments about privacy, you should e mail us at:
