Children’s Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
Spark3 does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
Security
We take several precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page (during checkout & billing information entry).
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment – and credit card information are only stored on a remote, secure server for a limited time (and are not duplicated locally). Any printed order slips are stored securely and then destroyed.
Your Privacy is Important to Us
As members of the online community, we are very concerned with the security of private information. While we do (and will continue to do) everything in our abilities to protect your data, if there are any aspects of this privacy policy or our handling of personal information for which you have a question, please contact us at the phone number or email address at the start of this document.
