If you choose to submit information on the website such as a “contact” page, we will retain the information you provide to us. Sparta will use the information you provide to contact you as requested. We will not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose the information you provide to any person or entity except as stated in the “Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties” section of this Privacy Policy.
Personal Information as an Asset of Sparta
The personal information you provide to us is an asset of Sparta. If Sparta or any part of our business is sold or otherwise transferred to a third party, your personal information may be transferred as well.
SMS Specific Use
We offer SMS text messaging customer service strictly related to Your specific account. We will respond to inquiries when You initiate or request this type of contact to any of our phone lines. We do not use SMS text messaging for sales or marketing campaigns. SMS text messaging opt-in and data will only be used for the purpose of assisting customers and will not be shared with any third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Standard messaging rates may apply. If you would like to opt-out of receiving SMS message, you may send “STOP’ to any of our phone lines, at any time, to be removed from this service.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
Except for a transaction as described above, Sparta will not sell or rent the personal information you provide to us to any third party without first obtaining your consent. In addition, we will not disclose the personal information you provide to us without your consent, except: (a) as required by law, (b) to our independent contractors who host and maintain our website and e-mail services; (c) to service providers or suppliers if the disclosure will enable that party to perform business, professional or technical support for us; and (d) to third party associates who may have products or services of interest to you.
In addition to the above, Sparta partners with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services.
