Privacy policy.

1. Introduction

SparkData Analytics, LLC ("SDA," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website (sparkdatalab.ai) and our research and analytics services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Contact information you provide through our consultation intake forms, including your name, email address, phone number, and organization name.
• Case data and documents you submit for analysis as part of our research and analytics services.
• Usage data collected automatically when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited.
• Communications you send to us, including emails and form submissions.

3. How We Process Your Data

When performing AI-assisted analysis, we follow a strict data protection protocol:

• All personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) is de-identified before any AI analysis takes place.
• External AI platforms (such as GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity) receive only de-identified data. Raw PII/PHI is never sent directly to external large language models.
• Our de-identification process strips names, dates of birth, social security numbers, medical record numbers, and other direct identifiers before data leaves our secure environment.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To provide our research, analytics, and evidence synthesis services.
• To respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about our services.
• To improve our website and services.
• To comply with legal obligations.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information and case data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to complete your engagement, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Upon completion of a project, case data is retained for a reasonable period to support follow-up inquiries, after which it is securely deleted. You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us at the address below.

6. We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We do not share your data with third parties except as necessary to provide our services (e.g., de-identified data sent to AI platforms for analysis) or as required by law.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
