This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding information associated with Spark the Village EDU and its website, services, educational resources, professional learning, K–12 IT consulting, speaking and collaboration activities, and related online platforms.

We may also receive limited technical or usage information through our website or third-party services, such as browser type, device information, IP address, referring pages, general website activity, cookies, or similar technologies.

We will use personal information only for legitimate business purposes consistent with the reason it was provided and applicable law.

3. Email Communications

If you contact Spark the Village EDU by email, we may retain your email address and the contents of your communication so that we can respond to your request and maintain appropriate business records.

If we offer newsletters, updates, or promotional emails in the future, recipients will be provided an appropriate method to unsubscribe from marketing communications.

Transactional, customer-service, or business communications related to an existing request, purchase, contract, or service may still be sent when necessary.

4. Scheduling and Google Services

Spark the Village EDU may use Google services, including Google Sites, Google Workspace, Gmail, and Google Calendar, to operate portions of our business and website.

When you schedule a meeting through a Google Calendar booking page or otherwise use a Google service, information you provide may also be processed by Google according to Google's own privacy practices.

Spark the Village EDU does not control the independent data practices of Google or other third-party service providers.

5. Purchases and Educational Resources

Spark the Village EDU may sell or distribute educational resources through third-party marketplaces such as Teachers Pay Teachers (“TPT”) or other platforms.

When you make a purchase through a third-party marketplace, the marketplace may collect information necessary to process your transaction. Payment information is generally processed by the applicable marketplace or payment processor rather than directly by Spark the Village EDU.

Information collected by those services is subject to their own privacy policies and terms.

6. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website and social media accounts may contain links to third-party websites and services, including social networks, educational marketplaces, scheduling services, payment processors, video platforms, and other online tools.

These may include services such as Google, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Teachers Pay Teachers, and other platforms.

When you leave a Spark-controlled website or interact with a third-party service, that provider's privacy policy and terms apply.

Spark the Village EDU is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.

7. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

Our website or the third-party platforms used to operate it may use cookies, analytics, pixels, logs, or similar technologies to provide functionality, understand website usage, maintain security, or improve services.

These technologies may collect information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring website, pages visited, and approximate interaction information.

Some of these technologies are controlled by third-party service providers rather than directly by Spark the Village EDU.

8. How We Share Information

Spark the Village EDU does not sell personal information for monetary compensation.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Service providers that help us operate our business

• Technology, hosting, scheduling, communication, marketplace, or payment providers

• Professional advisers such as accountants, attorneys, or insurers

• Government authorities when required by law

• Protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Spark the Village EDU or others

• Complete a business restructuring, merger, acquisition, or transfer if one occurs

Service providers receive information only as reasonably necessary to perform the applicable service or as otherwise permitted by law.

9. Children's Privacy

Spark the Village EDU provides resources and services for educators, schools, districts, technology professionals, organizations, and other adult users.

Our website and business services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our website.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected directly through a Spark-controlled service without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as required by applicable law.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information directly to Spark the Village EDU may contact us at hello@sparkthevillageedu.com.

This provision does not prevent educators or schools from purchasing or using educational materials with students in accordance with their own policies, applicable laws, and the terms associated with those resources.

10. School and Student Data

Spark the Village EDU may provide consulting, training, or professional services to schools or educational organizations.

Spark does not seek student personally identifiable information unless it is specifically necessary for an authorized service and appropriate safeguards and agreements are in place.

Schools and districts remain responsible for determining whether their use of technology, resources, and services complies with applicable student privacy laws, policies, and contractual requirements.

When services involve protected school or student information, any applicable contract, data privacy agreement, or other written agreement may impose additional requirements beyond this general Privacy Policy.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.

However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system, website, or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining business and transaction records, resolving disputes, complying with contractual requirements, and satisfying legal, accounting, or tax obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

13. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:

• Request information about personal information we maintain about you

• Request correction of inaccurate information

• Request deletion of certain personal information

• Request information about how personal information has been used or disclosed

• Opt out of certain uses or communications

• Exercise other rights available under applicable privacy laws

We will respond to verified privacy requests as required by applicable law.

Privacy requests may be sent to:

hello@sparkthevillageedu.com

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

California, for example, provides qualifying consumers rights relating to knowing, deleting, correcting, and opting out of certain uses of personal information. (California DOJ)

14. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals

Some browsers and devices allow users to send privacy preference signals.

Our ability to recognize or respond to these signals may depend on the technologies and third-party platforms used to operate our website.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid privacy preference signal, we will endeavor to honor that requirement.

15. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to websites or resources that Spark the Village EDU does not own or control.

Providing a link does not mean that Spark controls or endorses the privacy practices of that website. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, the Last Updated date at the top of this policy will be revised.

Material changes may also be communicated through the website or another appropriate method when required.
