• **Emergency Alerts** — Sending SMS/push notifications via Twilio when a device enters DANGER (red) or SOS (purple) status. This is not a replacement for official emergency services.
• **Account Management** — Account creation, authentication, subscription management, and customer support.
• **Payment Processing** — Billing and subscription management via Stripe, Inc.
• **Platform Improvement** — Aggregate, anonymized analytics to improve AI accuracy, detect bugs, and enhance features.
• **Legal Compliance** — Fulfilling obligations under applicable law, responding to lawful requests from authorities, and enforcing our Terms of Service.

7. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures including:
• TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit.

• Multi-factor authentication requirements for all internal systems.
• Regular security audits and penetration testing.
• Incident response plan with a 72-hour breach notification commitment (GDPR-compliant).
No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
The SENTRICK™ platform is designed to protect children, but the account holder must be an adult (18+). We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar international laws.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. Child Profiles are created and managed exclusively by a verified parent or legal guardian account holder.
Data associated with a Child Profile is:
• Subject to all rights held by the parent/guardian account holder.
• Never used for advertising or third-party profiling.
• Deletable at any time by the parent/guardian by deleting the Child Profile.
• Subject to stricter retention limits (90 days of location history by default).
If you believe a child under 13 has independently created an account without parental consent, contact us immediately at alan@sentrickapp.com and we will delete the account promptly.
9. International Data Transfers
SENTRICK™ is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your data will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate.
For transfers from the EU/EEA/UK, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, and/or adequacy decisions where applicable, to ensure an appropriate level of protection for your personal data.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date and, where appropriate, by sending you an email notification. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
