5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Regularly reviewing and updating security practices
• Providing data protection training to employees

However, please note that internet transmission is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through our Sparkle application.

Data Storage Location

To provide you with responsive services, your personal information may be stored on servers in the region closest to you, or in other regions we deem appropriate, based on your geographical location, network connection status, or operational needs.

Data Retention Period

We retain your personal information only for the period necessary to provide you with Sparkle services and as required by laws and regulations. Specifically, we will retain your data as long as you use the service. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 60 days, unless laws and regulations require or permit a longer retention period (e.g., for compliance with financial, auditing, or legal obligations). We may retain non-personally identifiable information or anonymized data for a longer period.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Sparkle is a mobile application (APP), and we do not use Cookie technology. Mobile applications may use some SDKs or similar technologies for application performance analysis, feature implementation, or security assurance; these technologies will process your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Sparkle application is primarily intended for adults. We do not target children under the age of 14 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 14. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us immediately using the contact information provided in this policy. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 14, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible.

8. International Data Transfers

Sparkle operates globally. To provide you with services, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries or regions outside your country of residence. These countries or regions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country or region.

When conducting such international data transfers, we will take appropriate protective measures (e.g., based on standard contractual clauses or reliance on mechanisms where the recipient has obtained an adequacy decision) to ensure that your personal information receives a level of protection equivalent to that in your country of residence and complies with applicable data protection laws. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or Switzerland, we will ensure that the transfer of your personal information complies with relevant regulations such as GDPR.

9. Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If there are significant changes, we will notify you through in-app notifications in Sparkle or other means. We recommend that you periodically review this page for the latest information.

Your continued use of our Sparkle application will be deemed acceptance of these changes.
