Sparkstr is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected, how it is used, how it is stored, and what choices you have when using the Sparkstr mobile application ("App").
Sparkstr is designed to help users save, organise, analyse, search, and rediscover videos and related information.
When you use Sparkstr, you may choose to provide content through the App. This may include:
To provide the core features of Sparkstr, the App may collect or use limited technical information, including:
The Firebase anonymous identifier is used to provide app functionality and is not linked to your real-world identity by Sparkstr.
Sparkstr may use Firebase Analytics to help understand how the App is used and to improve its features, performance, reliability, and user experience.
Analytics information may include app opens, screen views, feature usage, general app interactions, app version, device information, operating system information, approximate location derived from technical information, and diagnostic or usage information.
Sparkstr does not use Firebase Analytics to collect the actual content of your saved videos, notes, summaries, feedback messages, or full search query text.
Sparkstr may allow you to send feedback, report issues, or suggest improvements through a feedback form.
Feedback can be submitted without providing your name or email address. If you want a reply, you may choose to provide an email address. Providing an email address is optional.
If you do not provide an email address, Sparkstr will not be able to reply to your feedback. However, feedback messages may still be reviewed to improve the App.
Please avoid including personal or sensitive information in feedback messages unless it is necessary for your request.
If you enable notifications, Sparkstr may send reminders, rediscovery notifications, or other app-related notifications.
Sparkstr may use Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver notifications. This may involve the use of a device token or similar technical identifier so notifications can be delivered to your device.
You can control notifications through the App settings or your device settings.
Sparkstr may use third-party advertising services such as Google AdMob. These services may collect or use information such as:
We use information to operate, improve, and support Sparkstr. This includes using information to:
Sparkstr may store data locally on your device and, where applicable, in cloud services such as Firebase or other backend services used to provide app functionality.
Data associated with the Firebase anonymous identifier is not linked to your real-world identity by Sparkstr.
When you save, share, or process a supported video or link, Sparkstr may process that video or related link to create useful information such as a title, summary, key points, tags, folder/category, thumbnail, save reason, and other metadata.
This processing may use cloud-based services and artificial intelligence models. Only the information needed to provide this functionality is transmitted and processed.
This processing is used to make your saved videos easier to search, organise, understand, and rediscover later.
AI-generated summaries, titles, key points, tags, folders, and recommendations are provided for convenience and may occasionally be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. You should review important information yourself before relying on it.
Sparkstr may use third-party advertising services such as Google AdMob to display ads. These services may:
Users in regions such as the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, and other applicable regions may be asked for consent before personalised ads are shown.
Subscriptions and payments are managed through the Google Play Store. Sparkstr does not collect or store your payment card details.
Google Play may process payment information according to Google's own terms and privacy policies.
We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed to provide Sparkstr, support users, improve the App, comply with legal obligations, and protect the App from misuse.
Because Sparkstr mainly uses anonymous identifiers, we may need information from you to help locate the relevant data when responding to deletion or privacy requests.
For assistance with data removal, contact: contact@sparkstr.com
We do not sell your data.
We may share limited information with service providers where necessary to operate Sparkstr, including:
These services may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Sparkstr may use third-party services to provide app functionality, analytics, notifications, cloud processing, advertising, payments, and technical support. These may include services such as Firebase, Google Cloud, Google Play, Google AdMob, and artificial intelligence or processing providers.
Sparkstr may also allow you to save or process content from third-party platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
Sparkstr is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those third-party services or platforms. Your use of third-party platforms remains subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
We take reasonable steps to protect information handled by Sparkstr. Information transmitted between your device and Sparkstr's servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS where applicable.
However, no app, website, server, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should avoid submitting sensitive personal information through Sparkstr unless it is necessary.
Sparkstr is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe a child has provided information through Sparkstr, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Depending on your location, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to certain processing.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted in the App or made available through the same place where this policy is provided.
