1. Who This Policy Covers
This policy applies to sentinelcoin.net and its tools: the Token Scanner, Wallet Screener, Scan Database, accounts, community chat, and the Audit and Verification Request forms. It does not cover third-party sites we link to (Solscan, DexScreener, GoPlus, Rugcheck, Telegram, Discord, X, Phantom and others), which have their own policies.
2. What We Collect
| Information | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Username, hashed password, hashed recovery code | If you create an account | To sign you in. Your password and recovery code are stored only as one-way hashes — we cannot read them. |
| Email address (optional) | Only if you add one in your profile | See "Email" below. |
| Credit balance, deposit and spending history, transaction signatures | If you add funds or spend credit | To keep your balance correct and to make sure a payment is only ever counted once. |
| Chat messages, your username and the time sent | If you post in chat | To run the chat. Messages are public to everyone who views the chat. |
| IP address (scrambled) | When you sign up, sign in, reset a password or request an email | To slow down password guessing and abuse. We store only a scrambled (hashed) version of the address with an attempt count, never the address itself, and the count resets after an hour. |
| Name, email and project details | If you submit an Audit or Verification Request | To process and reply to that request only. |
We do not ask for your real name, phone number or address to make an account, and we never ask you to connect a wallet, sign a message, or share a seed phrase or private key.
3. Email
Adding an email is optional. If you add one, we collect it so that we can:
- confirm the address is yours (we email a confirmation link),
- let you reset a forgotten password,
- send security alerts about your account, such as a password or email change, and
- reply to a request you sent us.
We do not use your email for marketing, newsletters or promotions, and we will not start sending any without asking you first. We never sell, rent or share your email with anyone for their own purposes. To send these emails we use an email delivery provider (Resend), which receives your address and the text of the message solely to deliver it for us. You can remove your email at any time from your profile.
4. We Do Not Sell Your Data
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, including your email address, account details, chat messages and credit history. We also do not sell or trade data about wallets or token holders. Holder and wallet information shown in scan reports (such as the largest holders of a token) is public blockchain data that anyone can see on a block explorer; we display it, we do not collect it about you, and we do not sell it.
We may disclose information only if legally required to (for example a valid court order), or to protect against fraud, abuse or a security incident.
5. What Is Public
- The Scan Database. When a token is scanned, the result (the token address, its score and verdict, the AI assessment and market data) is added to a public database anyone can search. It records the token, not who scanned it — it is not linked to your account or IP address.
- Chat. Messages and the username that posted them are visible to everyone. Don't post anything you wouldn't want public.
- Blockchain payments. Payments in $SENT happen on the public Solana blockchain. Sending a payment makes the transaction, and the wallet it came from, visible on-chain to everyone. That is how blockchains work and is outside our control.
6. Cookies, Browser Storage and Analytics
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. If you sign in, your browser stores a sign-in token in its local storage (it lets you stay signed in); signing out removes it. The scanner also keeps a copy of your recent scan reports in local storage on your own device, so you can reopen them later without paying again; that copy never leaves your browser, and you can clear it any time by clearing your site data. Our hosting provider (Netlify) provides simple traffic statistics — page views and visitor counts — and keeps routine server logs, which can include IP addresses.
7. Where Your Data Goes
| Service | What it receives | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Netlify | Hosting and storage for the site, your account data and the Scan Database; standard server logs | Runs the website and its back end |
| Anthropic API | The public token address and public on-chain data pulled for the scan — never your account details or email | Runs the AI part of the risk assessment. See Anthropic's policy |
| DexScreener, GoPlus, Solana RPC providers | The public token or wallet address, requested by your browser or our server; as with any website, they can see the requesting IP address | Price, liquidity, holder and on-chain data |
| Resend | Your email address and the text of the security email | Delivers verification, reset and alert emails |
| Google Fonts | A standard request for fonts (including your IP address) | Page display |
8. How Long We Keep It, and Your Choices
- Account data is kept until you delete your account. You can delete it yourself at any time from your profile; this removes your username, password hash, recovery code, email and balance. Any remaining credit is forfeited.
- After deletion, we keep only a minimal record of each payment's transaction signature so the same payment can never be counted twice, and your past chat messages remain but are shown without your name.
- Chat keeps only the most recent messages; older ones are discarded automatically.
- Your email can be changed or removed in your profile at any time.
- You can ask us to correct or delete information, or ask what we hold about you, using the contact details below.
9. Security
Passwords and recovery codes are stored only as salted one-way hashes. Password-reset and email-confirmation links work once and expire. Repeated wrong sign-in attempts temporarily lock an account. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We will never ask for your password, recovery code or seed phrase, never DM you a payment address, and never ask you to connect a wallet — treat anyone who does as a scammer.
10. PDF Reports
Reports generated by the Token Scanner are created and downloaded directly in your browser. We do not receive or store a copy.
11. Children's Privacy
SENTINEL is not directed at children, and accounts are for people 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as SENTINEL changes. The "Last updated" date above shows when. If we ever change how we treat your email or other personal information in a way that matters to you, we will say so here before it takes effect.
