Privacy Statement
Purpose
Sentry 3 (Sentry 3, us, we, or our) has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate
our commitment to your privacy. The following discloses our information gathering
and dissemination practices for the Sentry3.net website, including all sub-domains
under these domains.
Information Collection:
You can browse our site without entering any personal information and therefore
remain anonymous during your visits. Our web site logs IP addresses for system administration
purposes only. IP addresses are logged to track a user’s session, providing us with
an idea of which parts of our site users are visiting. We do not link IP addresses
to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user’s session will be tracked,
but the user will be anonymous. In addition, we maintain system logs for periods
of short duration which allow us to manage system usage and capacity and respond
to any problems. These system logs can be matched to an individual user, but unless
there is a reported problem requiring such matching we do not make any matching.
Additionally, our web sites may utilize on-line order forms for customers to request
services. Through these order forms we collect your contact information and financial
information. Your contact information from the order forms is used to contact you
regarding the status of your account and to send you information about our available
services. Financial information that we collect from you is used to bill you for
any services to which you subscribe. You can be assured that we will not utilize
this information for any purposes other than those stated above, and that we will
not sell your contact information to others.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply
terminates. We may use cookies to measure and aggregate information about visitors
to our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. Most browsers
allow you to reject cookies or to choose which cookies to accept.
Links
Our web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible
for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by our site.
Contacts from Our Site / Opt-Out Procedures
If you wish to terminate your account or opt-out of receiving communications from
us which are not reasonably necessary for the provision of services to you, please

Site and Service Updates
We may send our customers a welcoming email to verify password and username. Additionally,
we may send site and service announcement updates to our users. Customers are not
able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information
about the service. We may also communicate with our customer to provide requested
information and services and in regards to issues relating to their account via
email or phone.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our website
so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide to use
personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the
time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will have
a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information
was collected.
Thank you for placing your trust with Sentry 3.

a court of competent jurisdiction to ascertain Sentry 3’s damages. Accordingly, if
You breach or threaten to breach any of Your obligations, other than payment when
due, Sentry 3 shall be entitled, without showing or proving any actual damage sustained,
to a stipulated temporary restraining order, and shall thereafter be entitled to
apply for a preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, and/or order compelling
specific performance, to prevent the breach of Your obligations under this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as prohibiting Sentry 3 from pursuing
or obtaining any other remedies as otherwise available to it for such actual or
threatened breach, including recovery of damages.
