Personal Data: General

This section explains our approach and practices for processing personal data at different features on the Website. We use tables and charts to present the information in a structured and easy-to-digest fashion.

We process two categories of data: technical and personal data that you provide to us.

Usually, we can process personal data based on the following legal bases:

• performance of the contract: for processing that is strictly necessary for service provision as set forth in the Terms of Service, technical and customer support;
• legitimate interest: for processing that is reasonable for the user and required for the development of the service;
• legal obligation for the processing of data as required by applicable laws or if requested by a law enforcement agency, court, supervisory authority or another state-authorized public body;
• consent: for additional processing for specific purposes.

Example of consent:
You agree to receive updates by email.

Age Limitation

Please Note: We knowingly do not process the data from Users below 16 years of age without a legal representative’s consent. If you are such a User or the user’s legal representative, please inform us by email at dpo@sparkmailapp.com.

Personal Data: Website

We collect your personal data according to this Privacy Policy when you use the Website.

Website operation

We need technical data to operate, maintain, and improve our website. This may include:

• browser information: type of browser, language settings, country and timezone;
• cookie or web beacon information: cookie IDs and settings and other personal information received through cookies, web beacons, or pixel tags;
• device information: the type of device, hardware model, and operating system;
• Identification details: unique identifiers such as an IDFA (for iOS), MAC address, or a UserID;

• service usage: information regarding the way you interact with our Website.

Payment data

You may be able to pay for our services and products on the Website. To make a payment, we will redirect you to the webpage of the payment processor (namely, Stripe), and the payment processor will be collecting your personal data to carry out the payment operation. We will not have access to your sensitive payment data (your credit card data is passed directly to Stripe and never passes through our servers), so please ensure that you’ve read Stripe's Privacy Policy to learn more about their handling of your data. On our side, we may retain your email and other data that describes the payment status, service or product purchased, such as payment identifier and timestamp or duration of subscription.

Investigation of your help requests

When you contact us with help requests, we connect you with our help center (or Spark Classic help center). You may also send a help request via support chat available at the Website or by filling in a special form. Depending on the subject matter of your help request, we will process your name, email address, product version, subscription type, case description, text of the messages and commands, User ID (a number randomly assigned only for answering your requests in the chat, not linked to your name or email, unless you share them), type of the device on which you use our product, technical data (such as operating system, browser version and language, IP address from which a device accesses the support chat, country, city and time zone where the device is located), navigation data (such as number of connections, duration of a session, first seen, last seen, recent pages of our website and date of connections), and additional information you may provide in the request for support or attached files (such as logs); you may choose to upload, attach or create any content which contains all sorts of personal information about you and others (such content may also contain a filename, size and filetype). We will investigate the issue as part of our duties under the contract that you entered into when agreed to our Terms of Service. We keep data in the support chat, if you have not created a ticket to the support team, for up to 1 year after closing the conversation. We may keep and process this data for a few years but no longer than 6 years (as provided by the general statute of limitations in Ireland), and do not use your data for any other purposes except for investigation of the issue and notifying you of the results of the investigation, or preparing a product enhancement proposal for our product development team. To learn more about how your personal data will be processed, you may also read our knowledge base solution Helpjuice’s Privacy Policy, help desk software provider HelpSpot’s Privacy Policy, forms and service solution Typeform’s Privacy Policy, and chat service provider Intercom’s Product Privacy Notice. 

Request a feature

When you contact us via the “Request a feature” form with your proposal for our product enhancement, we process your email address, type of device, your name (if you’re willing to share it), and any other additional information you may provide in the form. We process this data based on your consent. We automatically collect your IP address and the country of your location for a detailed analysis of your proposal. It is in our legitimate interest to do so. Also, we assign a unique identifier (token) for each form submission and collect the date and time of the submission.

We use Typeform to collect your request and Google Sheets to process it further. To know more of how your personal data is processed, you may also read Typeform’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.

We will use your data to prepare a proposal for our product development team, and your email and name to contact you for more details (only if needed) and notify you of the implemented features resulting from your request. We may keep and process this data for a few years but no longer than 6 years (as provided by the general statute of limitations in Ireland) and do not use your data for any other purposes except those mentioned in this section.

Logs

We collect this information to prevent fraud and potential unauthorized access to your personal information, ensuring the technical availability and security of the Website. The server that hosts the Website may record requests your device makes to the server, the details on the device and browser you use, your IP address, date and time of access, city and country, operating system, browser type, and mobile network information. This data is used only for technical purposes – that is, to ensure the proper functioning and security of the Website and to investigate possible security incidents. Your device may also contain Logs, but their scope and retention period depend on your device’s manufacturer.

Analytics and statistics

To better understand general app usage patterns, and improve the Website and its user experience, Spark may collect general statistical information about the usage of the Website. Collecting such data helps us optimize the Website in future updates and such usage does not affect your rights and freedoms and does not disclose any personal data of yourself or your contacts. We may collect information about your device (such as model, series, manufacturer, OS update, screen parameters, Internet connection data), App version, iOS version information, non-precise location data (such as country), cookies and other web tracking technologies so we may understand which webpages are most useful for you and which ones should be added or deleted. We usually process such data in a pseudonymised or anonymised form where possible, and our processing is based on either your consent, legal obligation, or our legitimate interest. More information about analytics and statistics subcontractors we engage is available in the “Analytics Tools We Use” section of this Policy.

Pixel, Beacons, Links, and Cookie Information

These technologies are necessary for Spark for Website administration and measuring the efficiency of our marketing campaigns. Cookies and similar technologies allow us to identify you as a visitor, remember your settings and preferences, such as language, keep the Website safe and secure, and collect marketing email statistics to create more interesting materials and offers for you. Cookies are stored on your device; to delete them, you may clear the cache of your browser; to find out how you can delete the cookies, please visit the Help Center or Settings of your browser. However, deletion of cookies may result in a worse Website surfing experience or even prevent you from using some of the features of the Website. Email pixels can be disabled in the settings of your email service provider. We may also collect some statistics information on whether email recipients click on the links in the emails we send. To learn more about cookies and other technologies, please refer to the Cookie Policy.

Marketing and Product Updates

We may use some of your personal data (such as email, and your name) to inform you of our new features and products, changes implemented into the Website or App (including the updates on the Privacy Policies or Terms of Service), and special offers you may participate in. We may also use some data, such as your IP address or a cookie ID, to measure the effectiveness of our email campaigns (for example, to count link clicks, unique visitors, or repeated visits). Marketing messages can be sent on the basis of your consent (marketing) or our legitimate interest (rare marketing emails and product updates). Importantly, we never sell private data to or share it otherwise with other third parties (except our affiliates and subcontractors).

Your Feedback

We may publish your feedback, reviews and comments about your experience with our App ("Feedback") on our Website, in the App or otherwise. This includes the Feedback you provide to us directly or via any platform, including but not limited to online distribution platforms, marketplaces, and social media. We process personal data in your Feedback, which may include your first and last name, username, the text of the Feedback and/or any other information contained in or related to the Feedback. We do not process personal data of children under the age of 16 and/or sensitive types of data in the Feedback. Under the GDPR, we rely on our legitimate interest as the legal basis for processing personal data in the Feedback if your Feedback was collected from the third-party platform (such as online distribution platforms, marketplaces, and social media), and we will ask for your consent to publish the Feedback that you provided to us directly. We use your Feedback to demonstrate the capabilities and features of the App, to share real user experiences with the App and to attract potential customers. For more information about your Feedback, please refer to the "Your Feedback" section of our Terms of Service.

Google Analytics

The Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help analyze how you use the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website will normally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

In case IP anonymization is activated on the Website, your IP address will be truncated within the area of member states of the European Union or within other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the whole IP address will be first transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of Spark for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity and providing other services for Spark relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address that your browser transfers within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser, however, please note that if you do so you may not be able to use all functions of the Website. You can also opt out from the storage by Google of the data that is created by the cookie and is related to the use of the Website (including your IP address) and the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available under this link. As an alternative to the browser add-on or within browsers on mobile devices, you can click this link in order to opt out from being tracked by Google Analytics within this Website in the future (this opt-out option applies only to the browser in which you set it and with regard to the Website). In this case, an opt-out cookie is put on your device. In case you delete your cookies, you will have to use the aforementioned link again.

For further information on Google Analytics please refer to Google Analytics Terms of Service, Google’s “Safeguarding your data” policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Amplitude

In order to better understand general usage patterns for our Product, we use a third-party tool of Amplitude, Inc, 501 2nd Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, called Amplitude (see their Privacy Policy here).

Amplitude is an analytics software tool, which helps us improve our Service by providing statistical patterns of our product use. This tool does not provide us with any additional personal data about you or your behavior online.

Other tracking mechanisms

Email messages sent by us via third-party services like MailChimp or CampaignMonitor may contain tracking pixels which help us collect statistics on delivery and opening rates of our correspondence. These pixels do not provide us with any additional personal data about you or your behavior online. You can disable image rendering in your email client which will deactivate this feature, however, you will be unable to see any images within other received emails.

Term of Storage

We store the personal data of the User for the 12 months after the last usage of the Website. However, we will retain the Feedback which you provided to us directly for 5 years and the one which was collected from the third-party platform for 2 years, unless the law compels us to store it for longer in case of any procedures or actions. At the same time, we reserve the right to delete your Feedback at any time at our sole discretion. You may also contact us at support@sparkmailapp.com to request that we refrain from or cease using your Feedback.

After the above period expires, we anonymize the data and store it for statistical and analytical purposes.

We process your personal data based on your consent during the provision of services, or during the term of storage (as defined above) or until you withdraw your consent.

If you want to exercise your rights, please contact our data protection officer by sending an email at dpo@sparkmailapp.com. To opt out of cookies (or withdraw your consent to the processing of your data by cookies), please read our Cookie Policy.

Data Sharing with Third Parties

We use your personal data on the basis of the performance of the contract (i.e. our Terms of Service) to provide services and communicate with the Users.

We may share personal data with our affiliates to the extent necessary to develop and/or support Spark. We share your personal data with our contractors in the scope we need to provide services, and technical and customer support. Also, we can share your data on the following grounds: consent, compliance with the law, and legitimate interest.

Here is the detailed information on the legal grounds for data sharing with third parties:

Consent. We share your personal data based on your explicit consent.

Compliance with the law. We will disclose your personal data to third parties to the extent that it is necessary:

• to comply with a government request, court order, or applicable law;
• to prevent unlawful use of our Website or violation of the Terms of Service and our policies;
• to protect against claims of third parties;
• to help prevent or investigate fraud.

Legitimate interest or performance of the contract: We share your personal data with third parties based on a public offer for processing on our behalf, subject to technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data. We may transfer your personal data to certain companies, consultants, and contractors hired to provide certain services on our behalf or for us.

In order to best facilitate our services and interactions with you, we may store some of your personal data using cloud technologies managed by our third-party service providers.

We have agreements in place with those third-party service providers and we require them to operate and conduct themselves in a way that is consistent with our legal and ethical obligations.

We also employ technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality and security of any personal data shared with our third-party service providers.

Due to the specifics of our work, we sometimes share your information with our third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf. These third parties service providers can include:

• our professional advisers (legal professionals, accountants, information security specialists, etc.);
• suppliers who provide certain support services (for example, document production, translation, analytics);
• IT service providers, such as those who administer and maintain our website for us and provide us with systems (software engineers, website maintenance engineers, marketing specialists, hosting infrastructure, registration and authentication services, payment processors, infrastructure monitoring service, etc.).

We use Google reCAPTCHA (Google LLC, USA) to protect the website’s forms users use to send us their email addresses from harmful bot activities (for example, subscribing third persons to our newsletters without their consent). For more details, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.

We will ask for your consent unless the transfer of data is part of the performance of a contract.

Data Transfer Outside the European Economic Area

The personal data we collect is stored on servers in the USA. The data is stored in the USA by default, but we may need to process your personal data in another country. We also may share some data with our service providers in other countries outside Ireland and the USA subject to technical and organisational measures.

The European Commission has recognised the United States (commercial organisations participating in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) as providing adequate protection. In particular, Google LLC and its wholly-owned US subsidiaries (unless explicitly excluded), have certified that they adhere to the DPF Principles.

There is no adequate decision by the European Commission regarding Ukraine. We use adopted Standard Contractual Clauses based on legislation assessments for data protection during transfer and storage.

You can read more detailed measures to protect your personal data in this Policy. You can read detailed information on measures we take to protect your personal data here. If you upload, send or create personal data via one of our Services, you may ask for more details by sending an email to dpo@sparkmailapp.com.

However, if a data transfer is required to perform a contract or to provide you services, we have the right to do so without your consent.

Security Measures

We regularly perform Data Protection Impact Assessments to ensure that we use an appropriate level of technical and organizational measures to prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored, or otherwise processed. We follow ISO 27001 Standard to put all security controls in place as a basis.

To be more specific, to protect your personal data we use HTTPS and encryption, divided group and individual access (where appropriate), alarm system, corporate VPN, written approved internal policies (like password policy and physical access policy).

Moreover, we systematically monitor our technologies’ state of the art and never forget about the backups. All our contractors are under contractual obligations which are compliant with the GDPR requirements.

Here you can find information about the steps we mentioned above:

HTTPS and encryption

We ensure that all transmission is secured with HTTPS so that no one else can access your data. Your email and account credentials are stored on secure cloud-based servers using symmetric and asymmetric encryption: private and public keys.

We currently use Hetzner and Google ("Hosting providers"). These Hosting providers have various international security certificates that ensure the safety of your data with them.

Security measures (detailed explanation):

1. Physical access control: group access and alarm system

We secure access to the premises via ID readers, so only authorized persons have access to them. The ID cards can be blocked individually; access is also logged.

An alarm system is installed on the premises, preventing infiltration by unauthorized persons. The alarm system is linked to a locking mechanism for the doors.

2. System access control: individual access and password policy

Each employee has access to the systems/services only via his/her employee access. The access rights involved are limited to the responsibilities of the respective employee and/or team.

Password policy. We regulate access to our systems via password procedures and the use of SSH keys of at least 4096 bits in length. The SSH keys strengthen the productive systems against attacks that target weak passwords, as password-based access to the relevant systems is disabled.

We have, in addition, a regulation for the creation of passwords. This guarantees higher security also for systems that offer password-based access.

Passwords must meet specific requirements. It must be at least:

• 12 characters long
• 1 letter in upper-case
• 1 letter in lower-case
• 1 number
• 1 non-alphanumeric character

Our systems are protected by firewalls that reject all incoming connections by default. Only connection types defined by exception are accepted.

3. Data access control: monitoring and physical access policy.

All servers and services are subject to continuous monitoring. This includes the logging of personal access in the user interface.

Due to the proximity of the employees, a visual inspection is possible at any time.

Locking and/or logging off when leaving work is prescribed and practiced.

4. Transfer control: contractual obligations and corporate VPN

Before transferring any data, we specify organizational and security requirements in Data Processing and Data Transfer Agreements (if applicable). These agreements are obligatory for every Enterprise and us as the Controller.

Furthermore, the handling of local data storage devices, e.g., USB sticks, is regulated via agreements.

Access to the systems outside the company network is possible only via secure VPN access.

5. Input control: general restriction

Our employees do not work directly at the database level, but instead use applications to access the data.

IT employees access the system via individual access and use a common login.

6. Availability control: backups and division

We ensure the availability of data in several ways. For example, there is a regular backup of the entire system. This can be used if the other availability measures fail.

Critical services are operated redundantly in multiple data centers and controlled by a high-availability system.

Our workstations are also protected with the usual measures. For example, virus scanners are installed, laptops are encrypted.

We would like to specify that we use MDM-solution to protect employee devices with security settings.

7. Separation control: limited access.

We use logically separate databases to prevent unauthorized persons from accidentally reading data to separate data.

Access to the data is also restricted because employees use services (applications) that control access.
