Legal Disclaimer

Last updated: January 17, 2026

SENTINEL IS NOT A LAW FIRM

Sentinel.ai provides automated compliance risk analysis for informational purposes only. We do not provide legal advice, legal services, or legal opinions of any kind.

Nothing on this website or within our Service creates an attorney-client relationship between you and Sentinel.ai or any of its employees, contractors, or affiliates.

1. No Legal Advice

The information, content, reports, scan results, risk scores, findings, recommendations, and any other output provided by Sentinel.ai (collectively, "Information") is provided for general informational purposes only. This Information:

  • Does NOT constitute legal advice
  • Does NOT constitute a legal opinion
  • Does NOT create an attorney-client relationship
  • Is NOT a substitute for the advice of a qualified, licensed attorney
  • Should NOT be relied upon as the sole basis for making legal or compliance decisions

Always consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction before taking any action based on our Information. Legal advice must be tailored to the specific circumstances of each case, and laws vary significantly between jurisdictions.

2. No Guarantee of Compliance

COMPLIANCE DISCLAIMER

Using Sentinel.ai does NOT guarantee compliance with any law, regulation, standard, or legal requirement, including but not limited to:

  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA)
  • California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
  • Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
  • ePrivacy Directive / Cookie Laws
  • Any other federal, state, local, or international law or regulation

Even if our Service reports "no issues found" or a "low risk score," this does NOT mean your website is legally compliant or immune from lawsuits or regulatory action.

3. Limitations of Automated Scanning

Our automated scanning technology has inherent limitations. You acknowledge and understand that:

  • Incomplete Detection: Our scans may not detect all compliance issues on your website. Absence of reported issues does not mean absence of actual issues.
  • False Positives: Our scans may identify potential issues that are not actual compliance violations in your specific context.
  • False Negatives: Our scans may fail to identify issues that do constitute compliance violations.
  • Context Limitations: Our automated analysis cannot assess the full legal context of your business, including contracts, business relationships, user base, geographic scope, or industry-specific requirements.
  • Temporal Limitations: Laws and regulations change frequently. Our scanning criteria may not reflect the most current legal requirements at any given time.
  • Technical Limitations: Some website elements may not be accessible to our scanner due to technical restrictions, authentication requirements, or dynamic content.

4. No Guarantee Against Lawsuits

LAWSUIT DISCLAIMER

Using Sentinel.ai does NOT protect you from lawsuits, regulatory actions, or legal liability.

ADA accessibility lawsuits, GDPR enforcement actions, CCPA violations, and other legal claims may be filed regardless of whether you use our Service. Our Service:

  • Does NOT prevent lawsuits or legal claims from being filed against you
  • Does NOT serve as a legal defense in any lawsuit or proceeding
  • Does NOT reduce your legal exposure or liability
  • Does NOT constitute evidence of good faith compliance efforts in legal proceedings
  • Cannot be used to certify compliance to courts, regulators, or third parties

5. Risk Scores and Risk Levels

Our risk scores, risk levels, and similar metrics are proprietary indicators based on our internal algorithms and heuristics. These metrics:

  • Are relative assessments, not absolute measures of legal risk
  • Do not correlate directly to the likelihood of lawsuits or regulatory action
  • Should not be interpreted as predictions of legal outcomes
  • May differ from assessments by legal professionals, courts, or regulatory bodies
  • Should be used as one input among many in your compliance evaluation

A "low" risk score does not mean low legal risk, and a "high" risk score does not mean a lawsuit is imminent.

6. Third-Party Information

Our Service may reference or link to third-party laws, regulations, standards, and guidelines. We do not:

  • Guarantee the accuracy of our interpretation of these materials
  • Provide official or authoritative interpretations of any law
  • Warrant that our information reflects current legal requirements
  • Endorse or take responsibility for any third-party content

Always refer to official government and regulatory sources and consult with legal counsel for authoritative information about laws and regulations.

7. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your website's compliance with applicable laws and regulations. This includes responsibility for:

  • Determining which laws apply to your business and website
  • Implementing appropriate compliance measures
  • Obtaining legal advice from qualified attorneys
  • Verifying any findings from our Service before taking action
  • Making informed decisions about remediation steps
  • Ongoing monitoring and maintenance of compliance

8. Professional Advice Recommended

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND

Before relying on any information from Sentinel.ai, you should:

  1. Consult a licensed attorney who specializes in privacy law, accessibility law, or the relevant area of compliance
  2. Engage a qualified accessibility consultant (such as a Certified Professional in Web Accessibility) for ADA/WCAG matters
  3. Conduct a comprehensive legal audit with professional assistance
  4. Establish an ongoing compliance program with legal oversight
  5. Document your compliance efforts with guidance from legal counsel

9. Jurisdictional Variations

Laws and regulations vary significantly between:

  • Countries (e.g., EU GDPR vs. US privacy laws)
  • States (e.g., California CCPA vs. other US states)
  • Industries (e.g., healthcare HIPAA, financial GLBA)
  • Business sizes and types

Our Service provides general analysis that may not account for all jurisdictional variations applicable to your specific situation. Legal requirements in your jurisdiction may differ from our general assessments.

10. No Certification

Sentinel.ai does not:

  • Certify websites as compliant with any law or standard
  • Issue compliance badges or seals that have legal significance
  • Provide documentation that can substitute for legal compliance certification
  • Offer insurance or indemnification against compliance claims

Our reports should not be presented to courts, regulators, or third parties as evidence of compliance without appropriate legal context and professional verification.

11. Changes and Updates

We may update this Disclaimer at any time. Continued use of our Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Disclaimer. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
