Our goal is to provide information, services, and product offerings that are most relevant to you in the most convenient way. Information collected online is usually defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable.
Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. Sentinel does not collect, use, store, or distribute anonymous information.
Personally identifiable information (PII) refers to data that tells us specifically who you are (e.g., your name and Company address). You are only required to provide such information if you want to request information or services provided through our website(s). Sentinel collects PII in the following ways from different parts of its website(s):
- Sentinel InfoSENter “Information Request Form”: You are sharing PII, including your name, company name and company contact information, with us when you request information regarding our services and/or when you register for Electronic Service Placement (ESP).
- Online Purchases: We also ask for personal information when you make a purchase through the Online Store.
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of your computer. A cookie will not provide PII about you, such as your name and address. The use of cookies is now an industry standard, and cookies are currently used on most major websites.
