(a) We never ask for personal information unless it is really necessary for the provision of the services you request from us.

(b) We never share our users’ personal information with third parties, except in cases where such sharing is legally mandatory or has the express authorisation of the data subject. Exceptions are third parties acting on behalf of SparkleIT, in which case your personal data may be communicated, within the framework of specific processing and in accordance with the purposes for which they were initially collected.

Persons with access to personal data are subject to a duty of confidentiality and secrecy, subject to disciplinary measures and/or other sanctions if they fail to respect their obligations.

However, despite its endeavours to protect users’ personal data, SparkleIT cannot guarantee the infallibility of this protection against all errors that may arise following the transmission of personal data, given the inevitable risks of an internet transmission and which are beyond any reasonable possibility of control.

Users must also be careful to prevent any unauthorised access to their personal data. Users are responsible for the confidentiality of information transmitted via the SparkleIT website.

In the event of any incident that compromises the security of their personal data, SparkleIT will inform the user immediately, without undue delay, and will provide the available information on the incident as it is obtained.
