Sentinel Technologies Ltd is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information about you or associated with you (“personal information”) is collected, used and disclosed by Sentinel Technologies and its affiliates. This Privacy Policy applies to our website and our mobile apps for iPhone, Windows or Android mobile devices (collectively, “our Service”). By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood and agree to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
“You” or “Your” means a user of the Service, which could refer to an individual, an employer, an employee associated with an employer account, or any other authorized user of the Service.
Information you provide to us
We collect information about you when you input it into the Services or otherwise provide it directly to us.
Information we collect automatically when you use the Services
We collect information about you when you use our Services, including browsing our websites and taking certain actions within the Services.
Information we receive from other sources
We receive information about you from other Services users, from third party services, and from our business and channel partners.
Other users of the Services: Other users of our Services may provide information about you when they submit content through the Services. For example, you may be mentioned by someone else on a shift, or a team member may upload content about you to your profile. We also receive your email address from other Service users when they provide it in order to invite you to the Services. Similarly, an administrator may provide your contact information when they designate you as another administrator for the Platform.
How we use information we collect
How we use the information we collect depends in part on which Services you use, how you use them, and any preferences you have communicated to us. Below are the specific purposes for which we use the information we collect about you.
To provide the Services and personalize your experience:
We use information about you to provide the Services to you, including to process transactions with you, authenticate you when you log in, provide customer support, and operate and maintain the Services. For example, we use the name and email you provide in your account to identify you to other Service users. Our Services also include tailored features that personalize your experience, enhance your productivity, and improve your ability to collaborate effectively with others by automatically analyzing the activities of your team to provide search results, activity feeds, notifications, connections and recommendations that are most relevant for you and your team. We may use your email domain to infer your affiliation with a particular organization or industry to personalize the content and experience you receive on our websites. Where you use MiSentinel, we may combine information about you and your activities to provide an integrated experience, such as to allow you to find information from one service while searching from another or to present relevant product information as you travel across our websites.
For research and development:
We are always looking for ways to make our Services smarter, faster, secure, integrated and useful to you. We use collective learnings about how people use our Services and feedback provided directly to us to troubleshoot and to identify trends, usage, activity patterns and areas for integration and improvement of the Services. We also test and analyze certain new features with some users before rolling the feature out to all users.
To communicate with you about the Services:
We use your contact information to send transactional communications via email and within the Services, including confirming your purchases, reminding you of subscription expirations, responding to your comments, questions and requests, providing customer support, and sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages. Depending on your settings, we send you email notifications when you or others interact on the Services, for example, when you are assigned to the shift or your shift has changed. These communications are part of the Services and in most cases you cannot opt out of them. If an opt out is available, you will find that option within the communication itself or in your account settings.
To market, promote, and drive engagement with the Services:
We use your contact information and information about how you use the Services to send promotional communications that may be of specific interest to you. We also communicate with you about new product offers, promotions and contests. You can control whether you receive these communications as described below under “Opt-out of communications.”
Customer support:
We use your information to resolve technical issues you encounter, to respond to your requests for assistance, to analyze crash information, and to repair and improve the Services. Where you give us permission to do so, we share your information with employees of Sentinel Technologies for the purpose of responding to support-related requests.
For safety and security:
We use information about you and your Service use to verify accounts and activity, to monitor suspicious or fraudulent activity and to identify violations of Service policies.
To protect our legitimate business interests and legal rights:
Where required by law or where we believe it is necessary to protect our legal rights, interests and the interests of others, we use information about you in connection with legal claims, compliance, regulatory, and audit functions, and disclosures in connection with the acquisition, merger or sale of a business.
With your consent:
We use information about you where you have given us consent to do so for a specific purpose not listed above. For example, we may publish testimonials or featured customer stories to promote the Services, with your permission.
Legal bases for processing (for EEA users):
If you are an individual in the European Economic Area (EEA), we collect and process information about you only where we have legal bases for doing so under applicable EU laws. The legal bases depend on the Services you use and how you use them.
This means we collect and use your information only where:
If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the Services.
How we share information we collect
We make collaboration tools, and we want them to work well for you. This means sharing information through the Services and with certain third parties. We share information we collect about you in the ways discussed below, including in connection with possible business transfers, but we are not in the business of selling information about you to advertisers or other third parties.
Sharing with other Service users
When you use the Services, we share certain information about you with other Service users.
Sharing with third parties
We share information with third parties that help us operate, provide, improve, integrate, customize, support and market our Services.
Sharing with affiliated companies
We share information we collect with affiliated companies and, in some cases, with prospective affiliates. Affiliated companies are companies owned or operated by Sentinel technologies. The protections of this privacy policy apply to the information we share in these circumstances.
Sentinel Technologies Branches: We share information we have about you with branches of Sentinel Technologies in order to operate and improve products and services.
Business transfers: We may share or transfer information we collect under this privacy policy in connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of the STL to another company. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Services if a transaction takes place, as well as any choices you may have regarding your information.
How we store and secure information we collect
Since its inception, Sentinel Technologies’s core network has been powered by a number of services provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), hosted in multiple availability zones within the EU regions. We also enforce HTTPS for all connections to our web servers and operate strict firewall policies on our core infrastructure, limiting access to various areas of our network.
All data stored is encrypted at rest using the industry standard AES-256 algorithm. This protects against information leaking through physical access to the storage devices.

How long we keep information
How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below. After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.
How to access and control your information
You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and any limitations. We will respond to requests about this within a reasonable timeframe.
Your Rights and Choices
You have the right to request a copy of your information, to object to our use of your information (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your information, or to request your information in a structured, electronic format. Below, we describe the tools and processes for making these requests. You can exercise some of the choices by logging into the Services and using settings available within the Services or your account. Where the Services are administered for you by an administrator (see “Notice to End Users” below), you may need to contact your administrator to assist with your requests first. For all other requests, you may contact us as provided in the Contact Us section below to request assistance.
How we transfer information we collect internationally
International transfers of information we collect
We collect information globally and primarily store that information in the United Kingdom. We transfer, process and store your information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we, MiSentinel or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you the Services.

Privacy Shield Notice
Sentinel Technologies participate in and comply with the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks and the Privacy Shield Principles regarding the collection, use, and retention of information about you that is transferred from the European Union or Switzerland (as applicable) to the U.S. We ensure that the Privacy Shield Principles apply to all information about you that is subject to this privacy policy and is received from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland.
Under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, we are responsible for the processing of information about you we receive from the EU and Switzerland and onward transfers to a third party acting as an agent on our behalf. We comply with the Privacy Shield Principles for such onward transfers and remain liable in accordance with the Privacy Shield Principles if third-party agents that we engage to process such information about you on our behalf do so in a manner inconsistent with the Privacy Shield Principles, unless we prove that we are not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.
Other important privacy information
Notice to End Users
Our products are intended for official use by organizations. Where the Services are made available to you through an organization (e.g. your employer), that organization is the administrator of the Services and is responsible for the end-users and/or Service sites over which it has control. If this is the case, please direct your data privacy questions to your administrator, as your use of the Services is subject to that organization’s policies. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator’s organization, which may be different than this policy.
Even if the Services are not currently administered to you by an organization, if you are a member of a team administered by an organization, or if you use an email address provided by an organization (such as your work email address) to access the Services, then the administrator of that team or the owner of the domain associated with your organizational email address (e.g. your employer) may assert administrative control over your account and use of the Services at a later date. You will be notified if this happens.
The Platform administrators are able to restrict your access to and privileges. In some cases, enterprise administrators can also:
If you do not want an administrator to be able to assert control over your account or use of the Services, you should deactivate your account with the relevant location, department or remove any email addresses containing a domain owned or controlled by the administrator entirely from your account. Once an administrator asserts control over your account or use of the Services, you may no longer be able to withdraw membership or change the email address associated with your account without administrator approval.
Please contact your organization or refer to your administrator’s organizational policies for more information.
Our policy towards children
The Services are not directed to individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact our support services.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
We may change this privacy policy from time to time. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice by adding a notice on the Services homepages, login screens, or by sending you an email notification. We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review. We encourage you to review our privacy policy whenever you use the Services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.
If you disagree with any changes to this privacy policy, you will need to stop using the Services and deactivate your account(s), as outlined above.
Our company is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users’ personal information. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and share data when you use our lone worker mobile application, specifically regarding camera, microphone, and location access.
CAMERA:
Our lone worker mobile application may request access to your device’s camera to enable video calls with emergency contacts or to capture images or videos in the event of an emergency. We will only access your camera with your explicit consent and for the sole purpose of providing our service.
LOCATION & BACKGROUND LOCATION:
Our lone worker mobile application may request access to your device’s location to enable our service to locate you in the event of an emergency. We will only access your location with your explicit consent and for the sole purpose of providing our service.
This app’s primary purpose is to facilitate users to start their jobs, perform safety tasks timely as per their schedules, submit forms, and patrol on sites as per pre-set locations of patrol areas. This application helps provide a panic button facility to the users while maintaining the lone worker’s safety that transmits and alerts the control room where the users can respond in any uncertain situation. The system keeps a record of the users’ activity and location to provide a timely response.
The need for location tracking is to ensure that the user is on on-premises or not. Users need to be on the site while doing his/her shift and need to do Book-on, Check-Calls or Patrol Calls and Book-Off. As control room monitors the user activity, they ensure health and safety while performing their duty as lone workers. MiSentinel will run in the background to assist employers with their legal duty of care for employees.
This app collects location data to enable Book-On/Off, Patrol, Check-Call and Panic situation for your safety, even when app runs in the background. Your loctaion is used for only for shift and incident handling purpose.
SYSTEM ALERT:
As MiSentinel is lone worker mobile application, we need to ensure the Panic button will be available to press on all screens, so users need not to open application specific pages when he/she is in panic/emergencies.
Microphone Access:
Our lone worker mobile application may request access to your device’s microphone to enable audio calls with emergency contacts or to capture audio in the event of an emergency. We will only access your microphone with your explicit consent and for the sole purpose of providing our service.
Data Sharing:
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as necessary to provide our services to you or as required by law. We may share your information with emergency contacts that you have designated in the application, but only in the event of an emergency.
Data Security:
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We store your information on secure servers and limit access to your information to authorized personnel only.
Data Retention:
We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our services to you and to comply with legal obligations.
Changes to Privacy Policy:We reserve the right to update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on our website or within the application.
