For players
Your tournament organiser uses Sentinel to keep matches fair. Here's what that means for you - in plain language.
What does Sentinel collect?
- Hardware identifiers - motherboard, CPU and connected device serial numbers - to detect cheat hardware like DMA boards.
- A list of running processes and loaded modules to check for known cheat software.
- Periodic screenshots of your primary display so tournament organisers can review gameplay.
- System security status: whether Secure Boot, TPM, VBS and Kernel DMA Protection are enabled.
Who can see my data?
- Only the tournament organiser who created the event you joined can view your telemetry.
- Sentinel staff with administrative access can view data for support and integrity purposes.
- Your data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or made publicly visible.
How long is my data kept?
- Tournament telemetry (screenshots, process lists, hardware snapshots) is retained for the duration the organiser needs to resolve disputes - typically a few weeks after the event.
- Account information (username, linked game accounts) is kept as long as your account exists.
When does it run?
- Sentinel only monitors while you are actively in a tournament session. It does not run in the background, start at boot, or install any services.
- You control when monitoring starts by clicking "Start monitoring" in the client, and it stops when you close it.
How do I remove it?
- Sentinel is a standalone executable - no installer, no registry entries, no drivers. To remove it, delete the .exe file. That's it.
- If you want your account data deleted, reach out on Discord and we'll remove it.
