Privacy Policy

1. Scope & Data Controller

This Privacy Policy applies to all websites, subdomains, and interactive applications operated under the SparkNova / Spark Circuit brand (collectively, "the Service"), including Spark Junior, Spark Brain, and Spark Tech modules. The data controller responsible for this Service can be reached at the contact details listed on our Contact page.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate the Service: standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited), and locally-stored gameplay progress. We do not require account creation to use any educational or game module.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Cookies

This Service may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings and reviewing the full policy at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

SparkNova operates child-directed learning modules under the Spark Junior pillar (e.g. Primary Maths, TingXie, Ejaan, and Spelling Practice). In compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):

• Child-directed sections do not collect personally identifying information (PII) from children under 13.
• Child-directed sections do not serve behaviorally-targeted advertising without verifiable parental consent, and are configured to request only non-personalized ads where required.
• No account registration, chat, or social sharing features are present within child-directed modules.

5. CCPA & GDPR User Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Right to Access — request a copy of data we hold about you.
• Right to Erasure — request deletion of your data.
• Right to Data Portability — request your data in a portable format.
• Right to Opt-Out — opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data and personalized advertising.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page.

6. Local Storage Disclosure

Interactive modules (IQ tests, spatial memory games, arithmetic sprints, high scores) cache progress and scores locally in your browser's localStorage. This data remains on your device, is never transmitted to our servers, and can be cleared at any time via your browser settings.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
