Privacy Policy

How SPARK collects, uses and protects your personal information.

Our Commitment

SPARK ("we" or "our"), headquartered in Singapore, is dedicated to respecting and protecting your privacy. We strive to provide a safe and secure user experience. This Privacy and Safety Policy outlines how data about you is collected, used, stored, and shared when you access SPARK's services, including our websites and mobile applications (collectively, the "Services"). This policy also explains our safety measures and your choices regarding the use of your information.

Applicability of Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all SPARK users and visitors, covering practices within the SPARK mobile application and website. It only applies to SPARK and does not cover other affiliated entities or third-party practices.

Definitions

Controller, Processor, Personal Information, Data Processing, and Data Breach: Defined in applicable data protection laws.

Data Protection Legislation: Refers to data protection laws in the Kingdom of Thailand (Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562), the EU (Regulation 2016/679), the UK (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), and other relevant laws.

Information We Collect

Personal information may include your name, email address, phone number, city, profile photographs, interests, profile details, messages, event registrations, membership status and payment transaction references, depending on which parts of SPARK you use. Full payment-card details for website membership checkout are handled by our payment processor, not stored by SPARK.

Technical Information: Such as IP address, browser type, SPARK Cookie data, and other server log information.

Sensitive Information: Optional data like ethnicity, religious beliefs, and mental health.

Verification Details: where we offer or ask for identity verification, the ID documents and related information you provide for that check, used to enhance safety and reduce fraudulent accounts.

Geolocation Data: Collected to personalize your experience.

We may also collect additional information from third-party sources (e.g., social media platforms, public databases) to enhance our Services and ensure compliance.

Privacy of Children

SPARK does not knowingly collect information from individuals under 20. If we become aware of data collected from anyone under 20, we will delete it.

How We Use Personal Data

SPARK uses your data to:

Provide and Improve Services: Enhance user experience and improve the functionality of the Services.

Personalize Content: Customize your experience and recommendations.

Customer Support: Address inquiries and provide assistance.

Safety and Security: Enforce policies, prevent fraud, and maintain a secure environment.

Communications: Send updates, security alerts, offers, and other messages.

Analytics: Track trends, usage, and engagement with the Services.

Legal Compliance: Ensure adherence to laws and regulatory requirements.

Automatic Collection of Information

When you use the Mobile Application, we automatically record information from your device, such as your IP address, location, device type, operating system, and access times. This data helps identify misuse and gather statistical data on app usage.

Payment Processing

Website membership purchases are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number. When an event or feature takes you to a third-party ticketing, venue or payment provider, that provider's own terms and privacy notice may also apply. We share the information necessary to process transactions, support payments and reduce fraud.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

SPARK uses cookies and tracking technologies to enhance functionality. Certain aspects of the Services may be unavailable if cookies are disabled. We do not respond to "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals.

Safety and Security Features

Limit Shared Information: Avoid sharing personal information like your home address and workplace until trust is established.

Public Meetings: We recommend meeting in well-trafficked public places, especially for initial dates. Avoid private locations for first meetings.

Share Your Plans: Inform a trusted person about your date details, including time, location, and contact information of the venue.

Stay Alert: Monitor your food and drinks and request a fresh one if you feel uneasy.

Enable Location Tracking: Ensure your phone has sufficient battery and location settings enabled to help someone track your location if necessary.

Real Profiles: SPARK does not accept anonymous accounts. Where identity verification is available in the app, you can use it for added confidence that the person you are meeting is genuine.

Report Suspicious Behavior: Use our report and block features to address any unwanted or suspicious interactions.

SPARK combines human oversight with AI-driven systems to flag suspicious activity, ensuring that fraudulent behavior is quickly identified and addressed.
