Privacy Policy
Information Collection and Use
Sentinel Title & Trust receives, but does not track, a variety of “personally identifiable information,” including your email address, IP address and message content. When we need to collect personally identifiable information from you to execute a requested transaction or provide you with a particular service, we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information we need. We may ask you for information such as, but not limited to: your name, address, telephone number, and email address to process your submission. You have the option of also providing information regarding your name, demographics (such as your state and country of residency), operating system, browser, Internet service provider (“ISP”), connection type and email program that you are using. Sentinel Title & Trust also automatically receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP Address and the page you requested. Your IP address is not linked to your email address or Sentinel Title & Trust.
Sentinel Title & Trust does not collect your email address unless you actively provide it to the company so that we can communicate with you.
When your Web browser or email application requests a Web page from another computer on the Internet it automatically gives that computer the address where the requested information should be sent. This is called your computer’s “IP address.” (IP stands for “Internet protocol.”) For most users accessing the Internet from a dial-up ISP, the IP address may be different every time you log on. Sentinel Title & Trust receives your IP address each time you view a Web page from the Site. Your IP address is not linked to your email address or any other personally identifiable information.
Your IP address may be used for various purposes, including:
- To diagnose service or technology problems reported by you that are associated with your IP address
- To estimate the total number of users visiting the Site from specific locales, countries or regions of the world
Log Files
When a Web page on the website is requested, that request (including the date and time) is logged on our servers with information including the IP address of the computer that requested the page.
We use log files for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. IP addresses and access times are not linked to your email address or any other personally identifiable information.
Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website’s computer and then stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie cannot obtain information from your hard drive, destroy files, or transmit viruses. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser, if your browser’s preferences allow it. To protect your privacy, your browser normally only permits a website to access cookies that it has previously sent to you, but not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
If you request certain services from us, Sentinel Title & Trust may then attempt to set cookies on your computer and later access those cookies. You can normally refuse cookies by setting preferences in your browser. You do not need to accept cookies in order to use Sentinel Title & Trust services.
Choices about Cookies
You can normally configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.) If you reject all cookies, you will still be able to use Sentinel Title & Trust services. Cookies are used only as an option selected by you that allows us to recall your email address from the cookie that we sent to your computer.
Sentinel Title & Trust uses Google Analytics to analyze this website’s audience and for content improvement. No personal information is collected from Google Analytics.
Data Storage / User Information
All Sentinel Title & Trust account information (including names, phone numbers, and mailing addresses) and content of email messages are stored on multiple redundant disk storage systems. No removable offline copies or backups are made. If you request deletion of your email address or any other identifiable information, your information will be deactivated and removed from our user registration database within 30 days.
In reviewing the information above, please keep in mind Sentinel Title & Trust cannot and does not assume any responsibility for any actions or omissions of third parties, including other website users and including the manner in which they might use information received either from Sentinel Title & Trust or independently.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Sentinel Title & Trust will not sell or rent your email address, name, mailing address or other supplied information to anyone, except as provided in the legal disclaimer below.
