How to Request an Account Deletion
You can request deletion of your Sparked Host account and associated personal data at any time.
How to Request
Email: compliance@sparkedhost.com
Subject: DATA PROTECTION REQUEST
In Your Email
- Your full name
- Account email (plus any aliases)
- Recent order/invoice number (if known)
- A simple statement: “I am requesting deletion of my account and personal data.”
- Your country/state of residence (so we apply the correct legal timeline)
- If acting for a business/team: your role and proof of authorization
Identity Verification
To protect account owners, we verify identity before taking action. We may:
- Confirm via the registered account email, and/or
- Ask for additional details (e.g., recent invoice number or government ID).
We will never ask for your password or payment information.
What We Delete
Once verified, we delete:
- Account profile data (name, email, phone, contact details)
- Services tied to your account
- Support tickets/attachments (unless needed for legal defense)
- Marketing preferences and CRM entries
- Optional data you provided (surveys, forms, etc.)
180-Day Window for Recent Transactions
If your account has had any financial activity in the last 180 days (e.g., new orders, renewals, refunds, disputes/chargebacks), we must retain minimal billing, tax, and anti-fraud records until the 180-day window closes. This is required for:
- Payment disputes/chargebacks and fraud prevention
- Tax, accounting, and audit obligations
- Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims
What this means for you
- We will minimize and restrict any data we must keep (e.g., invoice metadata, transaction logs), store it securely, and delete it automatically once the 180-day window ends (unless another legal retention duty applies).
- You’ll receive a partial deletion confirmation now and a final confirmation after the 180-day window closes.
Timeline
We aim to complete verified requests within the timelines required by law:
- Up to 30 days in GDPR jurisdictions
- Up to 45 days under applicable U.S. state privacy laws
- If the request is complex or involves third-party processors, we may extend it (we’ll notify you)
If the 180-day transaction window applies, we’ll delete immediate non-essential data, then finalize remaining deletions as soon as the window closes.
