Privacy Policy
At British 1st Airborne Division L.H.A., we recognize the importance of privacy to visitors of our Web site. This privacy policy explains what type of information is collected from you when you visit our Web site and how that information may be used.
Gathering of Information
Like all other Web servers, LHA's Web server automatically creates log files for each visitor who accesses our site. These "access logs" allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do NOT record a visitor's name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personally-identifying information. Rather, they contain some or all of the following information:
-
The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine which accessed our Web site.
-
The date of the visit.
-
The time of the visit.
-
The path taken through our Web site.
-
The browser being used.
-
A list of files downloaded or viewed.
-
Any errors encountered.
Cookies
LHA also uses 'cookies' to collect information. A cookie is a string of characters that can be written to a file on the user's hard drive when the user visits a Web site. Only the Web site that set the cookie can read it, and it can only be used as a record keeping device to store information that the site already has. It cannot, for example, be used to read other information from the user's hard drive.
LHA uses cookies to track users' activity through the site in order to improve the site's architecture, to offer the user interactive features that would not be possible without them, and to recall specific information to save the user time during subsequent visits to the site. If you wish to prevent cookies from being set to your hard drive you may disable them in your browser's preferences, although this may provide a slower downloading time of the site.
Use of Information
Any information that you disclose when enlisting in the LHA remains private. No information is at any time sold or revealed to a third party for any reason nor to any Federal or State agency except where authorized or demanded under law. The information is used solely by the LHA to determine fitness in being an active member of the LHA and the reenacting hobby and for no other purpose unless expressly authorized by you.
If you do not want your personally-identifying information to be collected or used for any of these purposes, you can simply “opt out” according to the process described below.
Children
Under 18: You must be at least 18 years old in order to join the LHA without parental consent. If you are under 18 years of age, please do not send any information about yourself, including your name, address or e-mail address. If we discover that we have collected any personally-identifying information from a child under the age of 18, we will remove that information from our database as soon as possible.
16 -18: Visitors between the ages of 16 and 18 must obtain permission from their parents or guardians before enlisting in the LHA and must provided written documentation of parental consent. You can request a copy of our parental consent form by writing to 1stairborne@gmail.com
Corrections to Personal Data; Opting Out
Please write to 1stairborne@gmail.com to a) correct or update any personal information in the LHA database that you state is erroneous, b) opt-out of future communications from LHA or c) request LHA to make reasonable efforts to remove your personal information from the LHA Online database, thereby cancelling your enlistment. The user understands that it may be impossible to delete personal information entirely because of backups and records of deletions.
Acceptance of Privacy Policy Terms
LHA reserves the right to change this policy. Any changes to this policy will be posted to this page as soon as reasonably possible, so please check this page periodically. Use of the LHA Web site constitutes consent to any policy then in effect. Please make sure that you read LHA’s Terms of Use to understand additional terms and conditions which apply to the use of our Web site.

Links to other Sites
It is important to note that the LHA Web site contains links to other sites that may not follow the same privacy policies as the LHA Web site. For instance, clicking on a vendor's link on britishairborne.org will take you to an entirely different site. These sites may use cookies, collect data, and use the data in ways that the LHA would not. LHA is not responsible for the privacy practices or any information or materials on these other sites. Please visit these sites if you wish to review their privacy policies.
