ReaTech, Inc. ("ReaTech," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Sentinel compliance automation platform (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our Service, visit our website at reatech.io, or interact with us in any other way.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use our Service.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account Information
When you create an account, we collect:
- Your name (first and last name)
- Email address
- Company name
- Password (stored as a cryptographic hash using bcrypt — we never store your plaintext password)
- Role within your organization
2.2 Payment Information
Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe, Inc. We do not store, process, or have access to your credit card numbers, bank account details, or other payment instrument data. When you subscribe, Stripe collects and processes your payment information in accordance with Stripe's Privacy Policy. We receive only a Stripe customer identifier and subscription status from Stripe.
2.3 Cloud Integration Credentials
To provide compliance evidence collection, you may connect your cloud accounts (AWS, GitHub, Google Workspace) to Sentinel. The credentials you provide (such as AWS access keys, GitHub personal access tokens, or Google Workspace OAuth tokens) are:
- Encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption with dedicated encryption keys
- Used solely to collect compliance evidence from your connected accounts
- Never shared with third parties
- Revocable at any time by disconnecting the integration
2.4 Compliance Evidence Data
When you run evidence collection, Sentinel retrieves configuration data and metadata from your connected cloud accounts. This may include:
- Security configurations (e.g., MFA settings, encryption policies, access controls)
- Resource metadata (e.g., resource IDs, types, regions)
- Access and activity logs relevant to compliance checks
- Repository settings and branch protection rules (GitHub)
- Workspace security settings (Google Workspace)
This data is processed to generate compliance assessments and is stored in association with your company account.

We automatically collect certain information when you use the Service, including:
- Pages visited and features used within Sentinel

4. Data Storage and Security
We take the security of your data seriously. Our security measures include:
