Sparkling Academy is committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and respecting the data protection rights of individuals in the European Union and European Economic Area.
We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. Our lawful bases include:
As a data subject, you have the following rights:
You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.
You have the right to request that we correct information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
You have the right to request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
Where we rely on consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer:

Subject: GDPR Data Subject Request
We will respond to your request within one month. In some cases, such as complex requests, we may extend this period by two additional months, and we will inform you of this extension.
We have appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing our data protection strategy and implementation. You can contact our DPO at [email protected].
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you without undue delay.
When we transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Our retention periods are based on:
Our services are not directed at children under 16 years of age. Where we process personal data of children, we obtain parental consent where required by law.
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.
If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Australia, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). If you are in the EU/EEA, you may contact your local data protection authority.
We may update this GDPR compliance statement from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated statement on our website.
