Spark KNE Verify Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 30, 2026

Spark KNE Verify is a Chrome extension that verifies only user-selected AI or web knowledge claims. This page is static HTML so Chrome Web Store reviewers and users can read the full policy without running JavaScript. It explicitly describes data collection, processing and use, storage and retention, sharing and disclosure, user deletion, contact, and security.

Chrome Web Store Review Summary

Collection: Spark collects account email, account ID, authentication state, usage quota, selected verification text, source page URL, page title when available, platform label, contribution content, feedback, blocking issue reports, timestamps, trust-state results, review status, quota counters, diagnostic events, IP address, user-agent, and operational logs.
Processing and use: Spark uses this data for login, beta access, authenticated API calls, selected-text verification, source/evidence comparison, trust-state output, optional Verify history, contribution review, feedback review, issue debugging, quota enforcement, reliability, security, fraud prevention, and abuse prevention.
Storage: Chrome extension storage is used for local settings, language, authentication token, account state, usage display, latest verification state, consent state, and interface preferences. Spark servers store account, Verify history, contribution, feedback, issue report, quota, review, analytics, source gap, and operational records.
Sharing: Spark does not sell, rent, trade, or share user data with advertisers or data brokers. Data is sent only to Spark-controlled services at https://knespark.com and infrastructure providers needed to host, secure, monitor, back up, and operate the service.
Deletion: users can remove local extension data by logging out, removing the extension, or clearing Chrome extension storage. Server-side deletion requests can be sent to seth@knespark.com.

Prominent Disclosure and Consent

Spark sends data for verification only after you take an explicit action, such as selecting text and clicking Verify, using the context menu, copying a feedback package, reporting a blocking issue, or submitting a contribution.
Version 0.1.2 shows a data-use disclosure, privacy-policy link, and consent checkbox inside the extension before login, registration, verification, feedback, issue reporting, debug-token saving, or KNE contribution can send data.
By signing in and using Verify, Submit to KNE, feedback, or issue reporting, you consent to the collection, use, storage, and sharing described in this policy.

Data We Collect

Account data: email address, account ID, plan type, public beta status, quota state, login state, and role.
Authentication data: access tokens stored in Chrome extension storage and sent to Spark over HTTPS for authenticated API requests.
Website content and personal communications: only the text you actively select or submit for verification, including AI chat text or other conversation text if you choose to verify it, plus source page URL, page title when available, and source platform label such as ChatGPT, Qwen, Claude, Doubao, Gemini, or web.
User activity: Verify requests, contribution submissions, feedback submissions, blocking issue reports, timestamps, quota counters, trust-state results, source hint counts, review status, and diagnostic events needed to operate the beta.
User-provided content: source URLs, source hints, corrections, challenges, notes, feedback text, issue report text, and selected text that you choose to submit.
Location data: Spark does not collect GPS, precise location, or address data. Server and security infrastructure may process IP address as operational log data for security, reliability, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.
Technical and operational data: extension version, manifest version, build ID, package timestamp, request time, endpoint, status code, error category, IP address, user agent, security logs, and abuse-prevention signals.

How We Use Data

To authenticate your account and keep you signed in.
To verify selected text against KNE sources, evidence candidates, trust policy, and review rules.
To return trust states, source details, evidence gaps, and risk warnings.
To store optional Verify history and help you revisit past verification results.
To operate beta quotas, detect abuse, debug errors, monitor reliability, and improve the product.
To review user-submitted sources, corrections, challenges, feedback, and issue reports.
To measure aggregate public beta behavior such as activation, repeat Verify rate, source gaps, and blocker trends.

How We Store and Retain Data

Local storage: the extension stores API settings, UI language, authentication token, account state, usage display, latest verification state, and interface preferences in Chrome extension storage.
Server storage: Spark servers may store account records, Verify history, contribution records, feedback, issue reports, quota counters, review status, analytics events, source gap tasks, and operational logs.
Retention: account, Verify history, contribution, feedback, and issue report records are retained while your beta account is active or while needed to provide the service, review contributions, improve KNE quality, ensure security, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or meet legal obligations.
Operational logs are retained only as long as needed for reliability, debugging, security, abuse prevention, or legal obligations.
You can clear local extension data by logging out, removing the extension, or clearing Chrome extension storage.

Sharing and Disclosure

Spark does not sell, rent, or trade user data.
Spark does not share selected text, account data, authentication data, Verify history, feedback, or contributions with advertisers or data brokers.
Data is transmitted to Spark-controlled services at https://knespark.com.
Current infrastructure processors include Vultr cloud servers and the browser/Chrome extension storage environment controlled by the user. These processors may handle data only as needed for hosting, database operation, HTTPS delivery, logging, security, monitoring, backup, and service reliability.
Reviewed contribution content may be used inside KNE source and evidence workflows, but it does not directly modify KNE Core data without review.
Spark may disclose data if required by law, security investigation, abuse prevention, dispute resolution, or to protect the service and users.

Limited Use

Spark's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Spark does not use Chrome extension user data for advertising, sale, resale, creditworthiness, lending, or unrelated third-party profiling.

Security

Data sent between the extension and Spark servers uses HTTPS.
Authentication tokens are stored locally in Chrome extension storage and are not sold or shared with advertisers.
Server-side access to beta data is limited to service operation, debugging, abuse prevention, security, and KNE review workflows.

What Spark Does Not Do

Spark does not monitor your clipboard.
Spark does not record browser history in the background.
Spark does not continuously read AI conversations.
Spark does not collect passwords, payment card numbers, government identifiers, health records, or precise location.
Spark does not sell personal data.

User Choices and Deletion

You control when text is sent by choosing Verify, Submit to KNE, feedback, or issue reporting.
You can stop collection by logging out, not using Verify or Submit to KNE, disabling the extension, or removing it from Chrome.
To request account deletion, Verify history deletion, contribution deletion, tester feedback deletion, issue report deletion, or privacy support, contact seth@knespark.com.
Deletion requests are handled by deleting or anonymizing relevant account and service records unless retention is required for security, abuse prevention, dispute resolution, or legal obligations.
