Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 17, 2024
Spark is an AI dating website where users can create an account, select an AI companion, and engage in conversations progressing from "strangers" to "dating." This privacy policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of your personal information.
Information We Collect
(a) Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and password. If you choose to use Google OAuth for registration, we collect the necessary information from your Google account.
(b) Profile Information: During the onboarding process, we collect information about your preferences, including age range, ethnicity, hobbies, and political views, to create an AI companion that suits your preferences.
(c) AI Companion Data: We store information about the AI companion you interact with, including their name, age, and physical description.
(d) Chat History: We store your chat conversations with AI companions to provide continuity in your interactions.
(e) Payment Information: For any payments, we use Stripe as our payment processor. Spark does not directly collect or store your financial information.
(f) Analytics Data: We use Plausible for website analytics to understand user behavior and improve our services.
(g) Encrypted Chat Logs: We encrypt all chat logs to enhance security. While we have access to these encrypted logs, we may use them in an anonymized form to improve our AI models and service quality.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and improve our AI dating services
- Personalize your experience on Spark
- Maintain and enhance the functionality of our platform
- Communicate with you about your account and our services
- Ensure the security of our platform
- Improve our AI models and services using anonymized chat data
Data Sharing and Third Parties
Spark does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We use MongoDB for data storage and Stripe for payment processing, but these services do not have permission to use your data for any purpose other than providing services to Spark.
Use of Chat Logs for AI Improvement
We may use encrypted and anonymized chat logs to improve our AI models and enhance the quality of our service. Before using any chat data for this purpose, we remove all identifying information, including names and any other personal details. This process ensures that while the content of conversations may contribute to the development of our AI technology, the privacy and identity of individual users are protected.
Data Retention and Deletion
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active. You can request to update your email and password at any time. If you choose to delete your account, all associated data will be permanently removed from our databases. However, anonymized data that has already been used for AI model improvement may remain in the improved models.
Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including password hashing, chat log encryption, and secure data storage practices. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Our MongoDB servers are located in the United States, but users may access the service from anywhere in the world.
Age Restrictions
Spark is intended for use by individuals who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from anyone under 18, we will take steps to delete that information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
