Our website uses cookies to maintain functionality and improve user experience. For comprehensive details about the types of cookies we deploy and how to manage your preferences, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
2. Why We Use Your Data
Personal information supports our work in these ways:
- Initial response: Answering questions and evaluating whether we can assist
- Case building: Structuring evidence, mapping fund flows, and drafting recovery submissions
- Ongoing communication: Sharing status updates, requesting documents, and meeting engagement commitments

3. Legal Basis for Processing
We handle personal information in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) and applicable data protection legislation. Depending on circumstances, processing may be based on:
- Your explicit consent
- Necessity to respond to your inquiry or perform requested services
- Compliance with legal or regulatory requirements
- Legitimate business interests that do not override your privacy rights
4. Information Sharing
Sentinel Legal does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances:
- Service providers: Trusted partners who assist with hosting, email delivery, IT security, or document management under confidentiality obligations
- Professional collaborators: Legal counsel or recovery specialists in other jurisdictions when cross-border coordination is necessary
- Legal compliance: When required to respond to lawful requests, court orders, or regulatory inquiries
- Protection of rights: To investigate potential violations, enforce our terms, or protect the safety of users and the public
5. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These safeguards include access controls, encryption during transmission, and regular security assessments. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by applicable legal, regulatory, or professional obligations. When retention is no longer justified, information is securely deleted or anonymized.

- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Withdraw consent for optional processing activities
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Opt out of marketing communications
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to requests within the timeframes prescribed by applicable legislation.
8. International Data Transfers
If your matter involves cross-border elements, information may be processed outside Singapore — for example, when coordinating with financial institutions, platforms, or legal professionals in other jurisdictions. In such cases, we apply appropriate safeguards and limit disclosure to what is strictly necessary.
9. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are designed for adults and are not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
10. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to external sites operated by third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
