Sparks Express (“Sparks Express“) operates SparksExpress.com and may operate other websites. It is Sparks Express’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors. Like most website operators, Sparks Express collects non-personally identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Sparks Express’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Sparks Express’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Sparks Express may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website. Sparks Express also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on SparksExpress.com blogs/sites. Sparks Express only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information. Certain visitors to Sparks Express’s websites choose to interact with Sparks Express in ways that require Sparks Express to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Sparks Express gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at SparksExpress.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Sparks Express are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Sparks Express collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Sparks Express. Sparks Express does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics. Sparks Express may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to its websites. Sparks Express may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Sparks Express does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information. Sparks Express discloses potentially personally identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information to process it on Sparks Express’s behalf or to provide services available at Sparks Express’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Sparks Express’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Sparks Express will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Sparks Express discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental requests, or when Sparks Express believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Sparks Express, third parties or the public at large.
If you are a registered user of the Sparks Express website and have supplied your email address, Sparks Express may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Sparks Express and our products.

Sparks Express takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
