PRIVACY POLICY- SPRKL

Last revised on November 22, 2022

Introduction

We at Fireflies Ltd. (“us“, “we” or “Company“) respect the privacy of our users (each, a “User” or “you“) and are committed to protect the privacy of Users who access, visit, or engage with its website, available at https://sprkl.dev/ (the “Website“) or with any product, content or service offered by us (collectively, the “Services“).

This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy“) will help you understand what types of information we collect through the Services, how the Company uses it, and what choices you have. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and use it to make informed decisions.

This Privacy Policy is integrated into and forms part of our Terms of Use, which are currently available here.

 

 

Collection and Storage of Your Personal Information

We collect and use the following types of information about you:

Non-personal Information
Non-personal Information is non-identifiable information that, when taken alone, cannot be used to identify you. As such, we are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-personal Information was collected.
 
We may anonymize or de-identify the information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify you. We also collect aggregate user data regarding your use and activity on our Services. Our use and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, if we combine Personal Information with Non-personal Information (e.g. analytics data), the combined information will be treated as Personal Information as long as it remains combined.
 

Personal Information

  • Name, email address, and other contact information: When you send us an email or contact us via the Services, we collect the Personal Information you provide us. This may include your name, email address and any other information you choose to provide.

    Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies and other information gathering technologies for a variety of purposes, such as providing us with information about how you interact with our Services. See more under the “Tracking Technologies” section in this Privacy Policy. We also use a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about your use of the Website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Website, what pages they visit when they do so, etc. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our Website and Services. Google Analytics collects your IP address, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Website is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
