Spark Presentations respects your right to privacy, and we take your privacy very seriously.
We collect information from you when you make a purchase through our Presentation Playbook store, fill out a contact form on any of our service pages or our Contact page, register to receive our e-newsletter, or complete a questionnaire regarding a contracted service.
You may visit our site anonymously. We collect data that’s required to fulfill your request, which may include personally-identifiable information like your name, title, company name, your home or business address, phone number(s), email address, purchase details, business or personal needs related to Spark services, and confidential information about your organization.
For your safety, we do not collect credit card or other payment information when you make a purchase, nor do we have access to it. That information is collected by PayPal through its payment processing engine and is kept secure and private by PayPal.
We use the information we collect from you to provide Spark services, process your order(s), arrange for delivery of your merchandise, and/or improve our website and customer service. If you request information from Spark via our contact forms or e-newsletter registration, we may also contact you with your requested information.
Please be aware that the processing of Presentation Playbooks through Spark’s website can involve transmission of personally-identifiable information, including payment information to essential independent participants including but not limited to ISPs (Internet Service Providers), credit card verification and processing services, issuing banks, merchant services providers, and other service providers integral to the completion of your purchase.
In such arrangements, consumer data is contained behind secure servers hosted by third parties. It is encrypted and safeguarded to the best of their abilities, and we bear no legal responsibility if it is compromised.
We do not store any payment information on our premises.
Other than those involved in processing and/or delivering your merchandise, maintaining our e-newsletter subscription list and sending out e-newsletters, we will not make any of your personally-identifiable information available to any third parties at any time for any purpose without your knowledge.
Specifically, we never share any information with third parties for unsolicited marketing, sales, or email of any kind.
In rare, specific cases, we may proactively share your contact information with trusted providers of the services you requested if we feel they may be helpful in fulfilling your service request. In those cases, we will make an effort to obtain your permission before sharing your contact information.
We may also use third parties to store data offsite to track aggregate user behavior for internal purposes to recognize general use patterns and improve our service.
In the event of a merger, consolidation, or sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the business assets of Spark Presentations, the information we collect from our customers and members would generally be transferred to the new entity (“Successor”). However, the use of this information by any Successor remains governed by the terms of this privacy policy.
Our testimonials are all printed verbatim from Spark clients, except where adjusted as needed for clarity and brevity and without changing meaning.
Though reasonable efforts are made to obtain written permission for use of testimonials in website marketing, we reserve the right to use solicited or unsolicited written feedback to promote the website in the form of customer testimonials without compensation, limitation, or advance notice.
At our discretion, we may provide links to outside websites for related information, products, and/or services, whether we have formal affiliations with them or not. These websites have their own separate and independent privacy policies, and therefore we are not responsible for the content or activities of any such site.
