Sentinel Vault Consulting (“we,” “our,” or “us”) takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it when you visit sentinelvault.net, submit a form, or subscribe to the blog. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide
We collect personal information only when you voluntarily submit it through:
- The contact form
- The Cybersecurity Culture Survey (Cyber Checkup)
- The blog mailing list opt-in
- Briefing or training inquiries
Depending on the form, this may include name, email, phone, company or organization, survey responses, and any free-text message you choose to send us. We do not request or store sensitive personal information.
1.2 Information automatically collected
When you load any page, our web server records standard request data: IP address, browser/device user-agent string, pages visited with timestamps, and referring URL (if your browser sent one). This data lives in standard server logs and is used to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the site. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, behavioral tracking, or third-party marketing analytics on this website.
1.3 Cookies
Sentinel Vault uses cookies sparingly:
- Security / bot management. Our content delivery provider (Cloudflare) sets a small cookie used to distinguish humans from automated scrapers. This is essential for site security and is not used for tracking or advertising.
- UI preference. If you dismiss our privacy notice, we store a single “dismissed” flag in your browser’s localStorage so the notice stops appearing.
We do not set advertising, remarketing, or behavioral-profiling cookies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to:
- Respond to your inquiry, request, or message
- Deliver requested resources (e.g. Cyber Checkup results, briefings)
- Send blog updates if you’ve opted in
- Operate, secure, and improve sentinelvault.net and our services
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We do not share your information with marketing partners.
3. How We Store Your Information
Form submissions are stored in a managed database on a private server. We retain submissions only as long as necessary to respond to you and serve any ongoing client relationship. You may request deletion at any time by emailing [email protected].
4. Third-Party Services We Rely On
- Cloudflare. CDN, DDoS protection, and bot management.
- SendLayer. Transactional email delivery (form replies, subscription confirmations).
- Stripe. Payment processing for Sentinel Weekly subscriptions.
These providers receive only the data needed to perform their function. They have their own privacy policies which you can find on their websites.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt out of any future communications at any time
Email [email protected] to exercise any of these rights. We respond within five business days.
6. Children
This website is intended for business audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be announced on the homepage.
