Sentinel collects and stores the following data locally on your device only:

All data is encrypted on your device using AES-256-CBC encryption with HMAC-SHA256 integrity verification. Encryption keys are stored in the iOS Secure Enclave and never leave your device. We do not have access to your data.

When you perform searches, the App may query publicly available law enforcement databases including FBI Most Wanted and Interpol Red Notices. These queries are made directly to public APIs and are not logged by us.

5. Subscription and Payments

Subscription payments are processed by Apple through In-App Purchases. We do not collect or store payment information. Apple's privacy policy applies to all payment transactions.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties. Your investigation data remains on your device at all times.

7. Professional Use Requirement

Sentinel is intended for licensed professionals only. Users are responsible for compliance with applicable laws including FCRA, DPPA, and state privacy laws when conducting investigations.
