OUR POLICY
Refund & Cancellation Policy: All sales are final and no refunds will be issued.
If you cancel within the cancellation policy of three weeks prior to the event, a credit will be issued for the full amount which can be applied towards a future event. All Missions are rain or shine.
In the unlikely event a Mission must be rescheduled due to unsatisfactory conditions, or circumstances beyond our control, a credit will be applied to any other Mission for one calendar year. Pre-paid courses are transferable to another individual.
Every spy must be prepared for things not to go as planned, therefore, we reserve the right to alter the components of any mission due to external forces of nature, uncooperative counter-agents or other circumstances beyond our control.
PRIVACY POLICY
Information MI6 Academy Collects Personally Identifiable Information: We may ask you to provide us with certain personal information about yourself, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name, address, or email address and which we refer to as “PII”), when you register with us or at other times, such as if you choose to receive a newsletter distribution, or to participate in contest, sweepstakes, promotional or MI6 Academy event. We may also ask you to provide us with demographic information, information regarding your interests, or similar information. Providing us with information about yourself is voluntary, and you can always choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in many of the Website’s and MI6 Academy event features.
In addition, you may have the opportunity to provide us with the PII, such as name or e-mail address, of a friend (or for a friend to provide such information about you), such as if you chose to e-mail a friend an article, newsletter or other special feature from our Website. The e-mail addresses you supply us for those activities will not be used to send you or your friend other e-mail communications unless requested or otherwise disclosed at the time you provide such information.
We may combine the information about you that we collect at this Website with information available to us from other sources. For example, you may provide PII to us at other MI6 Websites, or our co-promoters or sponsors may provide us with information, including PII, about users that choose to participate in a promotional opportunity the co-promoter or sponsor is offering in connection with MI6.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: When your computer contacts our web servers our web servers automatically collect Website usage information. Website usage information is non-identifying information that describes how our visitors use and navigate our Website. It includes the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting our Website, and IP addresses (see below for more information on IP addresses). We also may determine the applicable technology available in order to serve you the most appropriate version of a web page, email or similar service.
Use of Cookies: Like most Websites, this Website sometimes makes use of browser “cookies.” Cookies are pieces of information that a Website either transfers to your computer’s hard drive or stores temporarily in your computer’s memory for record-keeping purposes. MI6 does not save PII in cookies. We may use cookies for a number of purposes. For example, we sometimes use cookies when we conduct polls, contests or sweepstakes to limit multiple responses and registrations. Or, we may use cookies to track usage patterns on the Website or to analyze web activity. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you decline to accept MI6 cookies, you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in certain features of this Website.
Use of Web Beacons: Our web pages or e-mail messages may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon, which is sometimes also called a “clear gif”, that allows us to monitor and collect certain limited information about our users, such as the type of browser requesting the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed. Web beacons can be very small and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail, including HTML based content, can act as a web beacon. MI6 may use web beacons to count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how our users navigate our Website, and we may include web beacons in email messages in order to count how many messages we sent were actually opened or acted upon. MI6 uses Web beacons to compile aggregate statistics about our Website and our marketing campaigns; MI6 does not link the information collected by its Web beacons to the PII you provide when registering with the Website.
Use Of IP Addresses: An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from this Website, our servers log your IP address. MI6 may use IP addresses for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit the use of the Website. MI6 Does Not Knowingly Collect Information From Children Under Thirteen (13) Years Of Age: This is not a Website directed to children under the age of 13, and MI6 does not knowingly collect any PII from children under thirteen (13) years of age. If you are under thirteen (13) years of age, do not send any information about yourself to MI6. If MI6 discovers that a child under the age of 13 has provided MI6 with PII, MI6 will delete that child’s PII from its system.
MI6’S Use and Disclosure of Collected Information Use by SSL: MI6 may use your PII to provide you with requested information, services or content, to contact you in connection with a contest, sweepstakes or promotion, or for other purposes disclosed when you provide the information. We may also contact you from time to time on behalf of one of our affiliated companies or an external business partner with information that may be of interest to you, but in such a case, we do not share your PII with the third party. We may also contact you regarding any problems or questions we have relating to your use of our Website, or, in our discretion, notify you of changes to our Privacy Policy, Terms of Use or other policy or terms that affect you and your use of our Website. MI6 may also use information about our users, including PII, for internal purposes.

Events, Contests and Promotions.

Also, by entering a contest or other promotion, we may require you to consent to the use of your PII or other information, such as voice or likeness, in advertising, promotional and marketing materials. In addition, we may offer certain promotional content that is sponsored by or co-branded with a third party, who may obtain the PII that you submit, but only where specifically stated on the registration page for such promotion.

MI6’s Security: MI6 may disclose information about its users, including PII, when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Website and applicable laws. MI6 may also disclose such user information whenever we believe disclosure is necessary to limit our legal liability or to protect or enforce the rights, interests, or safety of the Website, our users or others.
