Shimazaki Sentinel Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

We don’t treat privacy like a checkbox — we treat it like trust.

At Shimazaki Sentinel, your data isn’t just information; it’s responsibility. We don’t mine, monetise, or manipulate. We protect. Because behind every record is a person, and behind every person is a right to be left alone, respected, and safe.

We design our systems with privacy at the core — not patched on later. We collect only what we need, use it only for what we say, and secure it like it’s our own.

No grey areas. No hidden tricks. No “gotchas” in fine print.

If something’s not good enough for us, it’s not good enough for you.

Privacy Policy

​Last Updated: 30th April 2025

At Shimazaki Sentinel, we don’t just believe in privacy — we live it.

We comply with global privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Personal Data Protection Legislation.
