1. About this Privacy Notice

Sentinel Strategic Limited ("Sentinel Strategic", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly, securely and transparently.

This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you:

  • visit our website;

  • contact us by email or through our website;

  • make an enquiry about our services;

  • communicate with us in connection with a prospective or existing engagement; or

  • otherwise interact with Sentinel Strategic in a professional capacity.

Because Sentinel Strategic provides discreet strategic advisory services in circumstances that may be complex or sensitive, we recognise that information provided to us may, depending on the circumstances, be particularly private or sensitive. We therefore seek to apply appropriate safeguards and to collect and retain only information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

This notice should be read alongside our Cookie Policy and Website Terms of Use.

2. Who we are

Sentinel Strategic Limited is the organisation responsible for the processing of personal information described in this Privacy Notice.

For data protection purposes, Sentinel Strategic Limited acts as the data controller for the personal information it processes in connection with its website, enquiries and its own business activities, except where a different legal arrangement applies.

Our contact details are:

Sentinel Strategic Limited

Data protection contact: info@sentinelstrategic.co.uk

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer. Data protection and privacy enquiries should be directed to the contact address above.

3. Information we may collect

The information we process will depend on how you interact with us.

Information you provide directly

This may include:

  • your name;

  • email address;

  • telephone number;

  • organisation or professional role;

  • information contained in correspondence with us;

  • information provided when making an enquiry; and

  • information reasonably necessary to understand and respond to a prospective or existing engagement.

We ask individuals making an initial website enquiry not to provide highly sensitive personal information, confidential documents or extensive information concerning other individuals through an ordinary website contact form or initial email unless specifically requested or otherwise appropriate.

Where further information is required, we may discuss an appropriate method of communication with you.

Information collected through the website

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically through website functionality and analytics technologies. This may include information such as:

  • IP address;

  • browser and device information;

  • approximate location derived from technical information;

  • pages visited;

  • interaction with the website;

  • date and time of visits; and

  • information relating to cookie or consent preferences.

The precise information collected depends on the Wix services and analytics technologies operating on the website and your cookie choices.

Further information is provided in our Cookie Policy.

Information received from other sources

Depending on the nature of an enquiry or engagement, we may receive personal information from sources other than the individual concerned. This may include information provided by:

  • a client or prospective client;

  • a professional adviser or representative acting on a client's behalf;

  • another member of an organisation involved in an engagement;

  • publicly available professional or corporate sources; or

  • another legitimately authorised source.

Where we obtain personal information from another source, we will handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law and this Privacy Notice.

4. How we use personal information

We may use personal information for purposes including:

  • responding to enquiries;

  • communicating with prospective or existing clients;

  • assessing whether and how Sentinel Strategic may be able to assist with an enquiry;

  • arranging and managing advisory engagements;

  • providing strategic advisory, assessment or training services;

  • maintaining appropriate records of professional engagements;

  • communicating with professional advisers or other parties where appropriately authorised or necessary for an engagement;

  • managing our business and professional relationships;

  • maintaining the security and functionality of our website and information systems;

  • monitoring website use and improving website performance, subject to applicable cookie and consent requirements;

  • complying with legal, regulatory and professional obligations;

  • establishing, exercising or defending legal rights or claims; and

  • preventing or investigating misuse, fraud or other unlawful activity where appropriate.

We will not use personal information for a new and materially different purpose without considering the applicable data protection requirements and, where required, providing appropriate information before doing so.

5. Our lawful bases for processing

We will only process personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Legitimate interests

We may process information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, or those of a relevant third party, provided that those interests are not overridden by the individual's rights and interests.

Examples may include responding to professional enquiries, managing business relationships, maintaining appropriate business records, protecting our systems and website, and administering our professional activities.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the nature of the processing, its necessity and its potential impact on individuals.

Contract and steps prior to entering into a contract

We may process information where this is necessary to take steps at an individual's request before entering into an agreement, or where processing is necessary to perform a contract or engagement.

Legal obligations

We may process information where necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation to which Sentinel Strategic is subject.

Consent

Where consent is the appropriate legal basis, we will seek it and provide an appropriate opportunity to withdraw it.

For example, certain non-essential cookies and similar technologies may only be used where the required consent has been obtained.

Legal claims and other applicable lawful bases

In appropriate circumstances, we may process information where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or where another lawful basis provided by applicable data protection law applies.

The lawful basis used will depend on the specific circumstances and purpose of the processing.

6. Sensitive and special-category information

The nature of Sentinel Strategic's work means that, in some circumstances, information provided during an advisory engagement may include information that is particularly sensitive.

This may potentially include information concerning:

  • health or medical circumstances;

  • psychological or psychiatric information;

  • political opinions;

  • religious or philosophical beliefs;

  • biometric information where relevant;

  • information concerning a person's sex life or sexual orientation; or

  • other information falling within the special categories of personal data under applicable data protection law.

Information concerning criminal allegations, convictions or offences is subject to additional legal protections and will only be processed where an appropriate lawful basis and applicable legal conditions exist.

We do not seek to collect sensitive or special-category information through the website unnecessarily.

Where such information is relevant to an advisory engagement, we will consider the specific circumstances, necessity, lawful basis and any additional conditions or safeguards required by applicable data protection law before processing it.

We will seek to apply appropriate measures to minimise unnecessary collection, access, retention and disclosure of sensitive information.

7. Confidential enquiries and advisory engagements

Sentinel Strategic provides advisory services in circumstances where individuals or organisations may reasonably expect a high degree of discretion.

However, website privacy and data protection obligations should not be confused with an absolute or unrestricted duty of confidentiality.

Information may be disclosed where this is:

  • necessary for the provision of an agreed service;

  • authorised by the individual or organisation concerned;

  • necessary to involve an appropriate professional adviser or specialist;

  • required by law or legal process;

  • necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights or claims; or

  • otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

We seek to limit access to personal information to those who reasonably require it for the relevant purpose.

Initial website enquiries should not contain extensive confidential information or sensitive personal information unless specifically requested or otherwise appropriate.

8. Sharing personal information

We do not sell personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may share personal information with appropriate recipients where this is necessary, lawful and proportionate.

These may include:

  • professional advisers;

  • specialist consultants or practitioners involved in an engagement;

  • legal advisers;

  • technology, hosting, communications or IT service providers;

  • insurers or professional advisers where necessary;

  • regulatory, law-enforcement or public authorities where legally required or otherwise permitted; and

  • other parties where the individual or organisation has authorised the disclosure or where another lawful basis applies.

Where third parties process information on our behalf, we seek to use appropriate contractual and organisational safeguards.

We aim to disclose only information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

9. International transfers

Some technology and service providers used in operating our website or business may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is lawful under applicable UK data protection legislation and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.

The precise locations and safeguards may depend on the service providers in use at the relevant time.

10. Cookies and website analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including technologies associated with the Wix platform and website analytics.

Some technologies are necessary for the operation, security or functionality of the website. Others may be optional and will be used only where the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Our website uses a cookie-consent mechanism to provide visitors with information about applicable technologies and, where required, to obtain and record consent.

For further information, including the categories of cookies used on our website and how you can manage your preferences, please see our Cookie Policy.

11. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including where necessary to:

  • provide or administer an engagement;

  • maintain appropriate professional and business records;

  • comply with legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements;

  • establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or

  • resolve disputes.

Retention periods may therefore vary according to the nature of the information and the circumstances in which it was obtained.

When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or otherwise dispose of it, subject to any legal or regulatory requirement to retain it.

12. Data security

We take reasonable and proportionate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

The nature of the measures applied will depend on the type and sensitivity of the information and the circumstances in which it is processed.

No method of transmitting or storing information can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, individuals should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary website forms or unencrypted communications unless specifically advised that an appropriate method is available.

13. Your data protection rights

Subject to applicable legal conditions and exemptions, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;

  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • request erasure of personal information in appropriate circumstances;

  • request restriction of processing in appropriate circumstances;

  • object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests;

  • request transfer of certain information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format where the right to data portability applies;

  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and

  • object to direct marketing where applicable.

These rights are subject to legal conditions and exemptions and do not apply in every circumstance.

We may need to request additional information to verify your identity before responding to a request.

14. Complaints

If you have concerns about how Sentinel Strategic has handled your personal information, we would encourage you to contact us first so that we can consider and address your concern.

You also have the right to complain to the UK's supervisory authority for data protection:

Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our services, the way we process personal information, our technology or applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The latest version will be made available on this website and will identify the date on which it was last updated.

Where a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will take appropriate steps to bring the change to the attention of affected individuals where required.
