Privacy Policy

This is a general template for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Please consult counsel before relying on it.

This Privacy Policy describes how Spark-XC ("Spark-XC," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our marketing website at sparkxc.ai (the "Site") or contact us. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to respond to you and operate the Site:

• Information you submit. When you complete our contact form, you may provide your name, email address, company, inquiry type, and the contents of your message.
• Server and analytics logs. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics providers may automatically record basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps. This information is used in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through the Site, and we ask that you do not submit it via the contact form.

How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and communications;
• Evaluate fit for our design-partner program and coordinate onboarding;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site; and
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Legal Bases and No Sale of Personal Data

Where applicable law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on your consent, our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiries and operating the Site, and compliance with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to operate the Site, including website and form hosting and analytics providers. These providers process information on our behalf, under contract, solely to provide their services to us. We do not authorize them to use your information for their own purposes. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights.

Cookies and Analytics

We aim to keep our use of cookies and tracking minimal. The Site may use a small number of cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for functionality or for basic, privacy-respecting analytics. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so will not prevent you from using the Site.

Data Retention

We retain contact-form submissions only for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, evaluate design-partner fit, and maintain a reasonable record of our communications, after which we delete or anonymize the information. Server and analytics logs are retained for a limited period consistent with our providers' standard practices.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information submitted through the Site against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While Spark-XC builds tamper-evident systems as part of its product, this section concerns only data collected through this marketing Site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at partners@sparkxc.ai. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

International Transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than the one in which you reside. Where information is transferred internationally, we take steps to ensure it receives an appropriate level of protection consistent with applicable law.

Children

The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and your continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
