Processing personal information at Sparkly

Sparkly advises, develops and supports services to organizations and their employees. To deliver these services Sparkly process personal and non-personal data about the organizations and individuals that use Sparkly's apps. This data is mostly contact related information, like name, email address and phone number.

Sparkly only collects contact related information, only when necessary and when:

You reach out to us thru one of our websites or apps;
You work for an organization that uses Sparkly's Free Apps;
You are the Admin installing and activating a Sparkly Paid App;
You reach out to Sparkly

Of course you are not obliged to leave these details. However with this basic contact information, very limited apps and services are available.

Sparkly collects, and stores your personal business data so you can use our apps and services. This personal business information is mainly stored for these goals:

Financial agreements;
Support services;
Pro-active support, for instance when there are bugs or feature updates

Sparkly's paid apps do not give Sparkly any access to your Zendesk data whatsoever. This is by design.

Security of data

Sparkly makes sure there are excellent technical protection measures for personal business data that's stored in communication systems used by Sparkly.

Sparkly uses Zendesk for storing data of app users and providing support to these users. Sparkly uses the safest standard (SSO with Multifactor) for authentication in this environment. All connections are thru an SSL connection.

In order to get access to Zendesk, an employee of Sparkly needs to be logged in to Okta. Employees are only able to login to Okta if the following three condition are met:

Connected to our VPN
Login with their own credentials
Use a second factor

For financial administration purposes, Moneybird and Stripe are used. For virtual meetings Zoom and Slack are used.
