Last Updated: June 2023

Welcome to the website (the “Website” or the “Site”) of The Sentinel Action Fund (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “SAF”). Protecting your privacy is important to us, and we want you to know how we may collect, use, disclose or store Personal Information on this and Related Project Websites (collective, “Sites”). “Personal Information” is your name, contact information and other data associated with your name or contact information.

We are committed to transparency about the data we hold and have designed this Privacy Policy to help you understand the types of information we collect about you, how it is used, with whom it is shared, and the choices you have. Accordingly, this Privacy Policy explains our privacy practices, including the information we collect from you when you use our website, apps, and other digital and online services (the “Services”) and how we may use that information; our rights to share and disclose such information to third parties; how you can review and modify information that you provide to us; and your preferences regarding our use and disclosure of such information.

Please note that this Policy does not govern our offline collection of Personal Information or collection of Personal Information, online or offline, by our parent(s), affiliates, or any other entity, unless otherwise specifically stated. This Policy does not apply to our presence on a third-party social networking site or any mobile applications not offered for download on this Site. Please see the privacy statements at those locations to learn how your information will be handled.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

This website complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. We encourageparents and guardians to regularly monitor and supervise their children’s online activities. We do not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental notice and consent, and our Services are not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under the age of 13.

SECURITY

We have taken steps designed to protect your Personal Information and maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information.

A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;

A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

EMAIL TRAFFIC

The information contained in any email traffic from this site may be confidential and/or legally privileged. It has been sent for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
