Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Spark Property Services collects, uses, protects, and shares information when you visit our website, request a quote, contact us, or use our services.
Information we collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with Spark Property Services.
Information you provide may include:
- Your name, email address, telephone number, and preferred contact method.
- A property address, city, property type, and service location.
- The services you are interested in, requested schedule, preferred dates, and service frequency.
- Information about the size, layout, condition, surfaces, access requirements, and priorities of a property.
- Messages, questions, feedback, and other information you provide through our website, email, telephone calls, or text messages.
- Photographs or other files you voluntarily upload or send to help us understand a property or project.
- Billing and transaction information associated with purchased services or gift certificates.
- Door codes, lockbox instructions, parking information, or other access details when required to perform a requested service.
Please avoid submitting Social Security numbers, financial account credentials, medical information, identification documents, or other sensitive information that we have not requested. When sending property photographs, avoid including people, personal documents, or valuables unless the information is necessary for your request.
Information collected automatically may include your Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring website, approximate location, and the date and time of your visit. Our website and hosting providers may use cookies, server logs, and similar technologies necessary to operate, secure, and improve the website.
How we use information
Spark Property Services may use information to:
- Respond to questions and quote requests.
- Evaluate a property and prepare a proposed scope of work.
- Schedule, coordinate, provide, and document services.
- Communicate about appointments, access, changes, invoices, payments, and customer support.
- Process transactions and administer gift certificates.
- Maintain customer, accounting, insurance, and business records.
- Improve our services, website, scheduling, and customer experience.
- Detect and prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, or other harmful activity.
- Comply with applicable laws and protect the rights, safety, and property of Spark Property Services, our customers, our team, and others.
Submitting a quote request does not create a confirmed appointment or service agreement. We will contact you to confirm availability, pricing, scope, and scheduling.
Service communications and marketing
We may contact you by email, telephone, or text to respond to your request and coordinate services. These operational communications may include quote follow-ups, appointment reminders, arrival information, schedule changes, invoices, and customer-support messages.
We will send promotional emails or text messages only when permitted by law. You may opt out of promotional messages at any time by using the unsubscribe instructions provided or contacting us. Opting out of promotional messages does not prevent communications necessary to provide requested services.
Property photographs and access information
Photographs may be used to evaluate a project, prepare a quote, document property conditions, communicate with an assigned team, or address a service concern. We do not use identifiable customer-property photographs for public advertising or social media without permission.
Access instructions are used only to coordinate and perform requested services. We limit access to this information to authorized team members and service providers who have a legitimate need for it.
How we disclose information
We may disclose information to:
- Authorized employees and team members who need it to provide or coordinate services.
- Vendors that support website hosting, forms, email, scheduling, file storage, communications, payment processing, accounting, or other business operations.
- Professional advisers, insurers, auditors, or legal representatives when reasonably necessary.
- Government agencies, courts, law enforcement, or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.
- A successor organization in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of the business.
Service providers may use information only for the services they perform for us, subject to their agreements and applicable law.
Spark Property Services does not sell personal information for money. We do not use information submitted through our quote or contact forms for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Payments
Payments may be handled by a third-party payment processor. Payment processors may collect card numbers and other financial information under their own privacy policies and security practices. Spark Property Services does not intentionally retain complete payment-card numbers unless needed and permitted for a legitimate business purpose.
Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Retention periods may vary depending on the information and our legal, contractual, accounting, insurance, dispute-resolution, and operational obligations.
Quote requests that do not become active customer accounts may be retained for follow-up and business-record purposes. Customer records, service communications, invoices, and transaction information may be retained for longer periods when needed to administer services or satisfy legal and financial obligations. Photographs and access information are removed or restricted when they are no longer reasonably necessary.
Information security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If you believe information you provided to us has been accessed or used improperly, contact us promptly at contact@sparkproperty.services.

Children’s privacy
Our website and services are intended for adults seeking property services. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has provided information may contact us to request its deletion.
Third-party websites
Our website may link to websites or services operated by other organizations. Spark Property Services does not control their privacy or security practices. Review the privacy policies of those organizations before providing them with personal information.
