Law enforcement protocol.

Spark Datin LLC ("Spark") cooperates with law enforcement to support lawful investigations involving the safety of our users and the public. This page describes how qualified law enforcement officers (LEOs) can request user records, emergency assistance, or content preservation.

This protocol is provided to inform officers of our practices; it does not waive any legal rights of Spark or its users.

Spark accepts legal process (subpoenas, court orders, search warrants, preservation requests) by email to legal@sparkdatin.com.

Requests must be:

• Issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, or accompanied by an MLAT request for international agencies
• Submitted on official agency letterhead with the requesting officer's name, badge or ID number, agency, phone number, and official agency email
• Specific — vague or overbroad demands will be rejected or narrowed
• Reference a Spark user identifier (email address used at signup, user ID, profile URL, or phone number)

• Subscriber information — email, signup date, signup IP, display name, date of birth, gender, last login IP, billing history (Stripe handles card numbers; Spark does not store them)
• Connection logs — IP addresses and timestamps for authentication events (retained for 90 days)
• Profile content — public profile data, bios, photos as they appear on the platform
• Message content — private 1:1 DMs and group messages, only with a search warrant supported by probable cause

Voice and video calls happen peer-to-peer via WebRTC; Spark does not record, store, or have access to the audio or video content of calls.

In situations involving an imminent threat of death or serious physical injury, Spark may voluntarily disclose user information without legal process. Email legal@sparkdatin.com with the subject line EDR — URGENT and include:

• The nature of the emergency
• The Spark user identifier of the person at risk
• Officer name, badge number, agency, and official agency phone for callback verification
• Why an immediate response is necessary

We aim to respond to verified EDRs within 1 hour, 24/7. We will verify the request by calling the agency's published main line.

Spark will preserve relevant account records for 90 days, with one 90-day extension on written request, while you obtain a subpoena, court order, or warrant. Preservation does not produce records — it only places a litigation hold.

Spark's policy is to notify users of legal process seeking their account information unless: (a) we are prohibited from doing so by law or court order (e.g., a non-disclosure order under 18 U.S.C. § 2705), or (b) we determine, in good faith, that notice would create a risk of harm, retaliation, evidence destruction, or obstruction of an investigation involving child sexual exploitation or imminent harm.

Spark has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). We proactively scan media uploads, and we report all detected CSAM and credible reports of child exploitation to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) as required by 18 U.S.C. § 2258A. We cooperate fully with the NCMEC CyberTipline and federal, state, and local agencies investigating such cases.

Spark may seek reimbursement for costs incurred in responding to legal process where permitted by law (e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 2706).

If you are a member of the public reporting harassment, fraud, or abuse on Spark (not a law enforcement officer), please use the in-app Report tool in any chat or email business@sparkdatin.com.
