PRIVACY POLICY
At The Sentinel Group, we understand that protecting your personal information is important to you. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you visit our website, www.thesentinelgroup.com. By using our site, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
Information Collection
We may collect non-personal data, such as your domain name and IP address. These details do not reveal any personal information about you beyond the IP address from which you accessed our site. Additionally, we may gather information about your browser type, operating system, how you arrived at our website, and which pages you visited.
If you communicate with us via our website or regarding our services, we will collect any information you choose to provide.
We may use your contact information to reach out via email in the future to inform you about special offers, new services, or updates to this Privacy Policy.
Information Use
The information we collect is used primarily for internal purposes, such as maintaining, evaluating, and improving our services and website, fulfilling information requests, and offering customer support.
Security
We adhere to industry-standard security practices to protect your data during transmission and after we receive it.
If sensitive information (like credit card data) is collected, it will be encrypted and securely transmitted. You can verify secure transmission by checking for a closed lock icon or “https” in the address bar of your web browser.
While we use encryption for online data, we also safeguard your information offline. Access to personally identifiable information is restricted to employees who need it to perform specific tasks (like billing or customer service). We store this information on secure servers.
Cookies
Our site uses “cookies” to enhance your browsing experience. A cookie is a small data file stored on your hard drive that helps us improve access to our site and identify repeat visitors. For example, cookies can save you time by eliminating the need to log in multiple times. Cookies also allow us to better understand and tailor the experience to your interests. Usage of cookies is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We do not sell or provide your information to third parties for mass email marketing purposes.
We may disclose personal information or an IP address when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- Comply with legal proceedings or cooperate with law enforcement agencies
- Protect the rights or property of The Sentinel Group
- Identify individuals who may be violating the law or misusing our website
Please note that when you voluntarily disclose personal information online (e.g., via email, forums), others may collect and use that information. Be cautious about sharing personal information publicly online.
Links
Our website may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site that collects personal information.
Surveys & Contests
Occasionally, we may request information via surveys or contests. Participation is completely voluntary. Information collected through surveys or contests may include contact details (e.g., name, address) and demographic data (e.g., zip code, age). Contact information will be used to notify winners and distribute prizes. Survey responses will help us improve our website and services.
