Spark Events Staff
Privacy Policy
This policy covers staff.sparktheparty.com: our job application and our lessons, where crew and applicants train. It says what Spark Events LLC ("we," "us") collects here, who can see it, and how to reach us. Our main website has its own policy.
What we collect
When you apply for a job
Your name, email address, mobile number and city, the roles you are interested in, your résumé, and your answers to the application questions: availability, transportation, experience, pay and schedule, the guest-service questions and how you heard about us. If you have dealt professionally we also ask which days and times suit an audition. If you are new to dealing and are 18 or older, authorized to work in the US and available most Friday and Saturday evenings, we ask whether you would like to hear about our free online course (that answer never affects your application). For bartending we ask whether you have a current California RBS certification. For delivery work we ask whether you can lift 50 lb, and for the driver job whether you have a driver's license. We use all of this to consider you for work and to contact you about it. If you applied through our earlier JotForm application, we copied that application into the same system.
Your résumé is sent with your application and kept in a private store that only our own server can open; our hiring team opens it through our admin tools, and each opening is logged. It is not saved in your browser.
Texts. By giving your mobile number, you agree we can text you about your application and future openings at Spark. If you ask about the free course, we may also text you about that. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply STOP at any time, or tell us by email, and we will stop; we can still reach you by email.
The application does not ask about criminal history, medical conditions or disabilities, past pay, or citizenship or immigration status. It asks only whether you are 18 or older and authorized to work in the US. If we offer you the driver job, we check your driving record after the offer and before your first drive. If an outside company pulls it, we ask for your written permission first. If you ask for an accommodation and choose to tell us something about your beliefs or your health, only the people deciding on your application see it, and we use it only to talk with you about the accommodation.
How you found the job. If you open the application from a link with a tag on it, such as one in a job ad or on our careers page, we record that tag with your application (for example "indeed" or "careers"), and the name of the website that sent you, but not the page on it. Until you send, the tag is kept only in this browser tab and is gone when you close it. It never holds your name or contact details.
To stop automated spam we keep a code made from your internet connection's address and the date, scrambled with a secret key that only our server holds. We don't store the address itself, and we only use the code to limit how many applications come from one connection.
Automatic checks
After you send your application, some answers are checked automatically against each role's basic requirements. An application may be declined automatically if you tell us you are not 18 or older and authorized to work in the US, or if none of the roles you chose is a fit (you turned down the pay; for bartending, you are under 21 or have no bartending experience or current California RBS certification; for the delivery driver job, you have no driver's license; for dealing, you are not up for the online test and the audition). We may not tell you the result when you apply. Every declined application is still kept, with the answers the check used.
If you ask for an accommodation, a person reads your application instead. If you think we got something wrong, email hiring@sparktheparty.com and a person will look again within two business days. Nobody is hired automatically.
When you use our lessons
Your name and email address (you sign in with a code we email you), the lessons you finish, your practice answers and how long they took, your final-test results and certificate, and the in-person audition checklist our staff fill in. We use this to run the course and show you your progress. Your lessons and practice answers are not used in hiring. We use your online test result and audition checklist to decide on hiring.
To keep you signed in and let the lessons work on a weak connection, your browser stores your sign-in (including your name and email address), a copy of your progress and your display settings. Your other application answers are never stored in your browser.
When you ask for the free lessons
Your first and last name, email address, how you would like us to reach you (phone or email), your phone number if you give one, and your answer to whether you are with or working for another event, casino-party or entertainment company. We use them only to decide on your request and to set up your lessons. Once you have access, your lessons are covered by "When you use our lessons" above.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share your information.
- This site has no analytics, advertising pixels or tracking cookies.
- Applying does not sign you up for marketing emails.
- This site does not track you across other websites and lets no one else do so, so it works the same whether or not your browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal.
Who can see it
Spark Events' owners and staff with administrator access to our systems. Your information is stored with Supabase, which runs our database and sign-in, including sending sign-in codes. The site is hosted by Netlify. Netlify and Supabase keep standard server logs, including IP addresses, for a short time. Applications made through our earlier JotForm form are also still held by JotForm. Our texts and calls with you run through Quo, our business phone service. We record and transcribe calls on our business lines (you'll hear a notice at the start of each call) and use those transcripts, including with AI tools, to help our staff follow up. We use Anthropic's Claude, an AI assistant, to help our staff keep track of applicants and text them, so your name, contact details, your texts with us and where you are in the process may pass through it. It does not screen, rank or choose applicants. People make those decisions. We may also share information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep applications, including declined ones, the answers our automatic checks used and your résumé, for four years after we decide on them, as California law requires. While we keep your application, we may contact you about future openings. We keep course records for four years after you finish training or stop working with us, whichever is later. Then we delete them.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email us and we will handle it. We may need to confirm who you are first, and we may need to keep records the law requires.
Security
Applications and training records sit in a private part of our database that only our own server and the few people who run our database can read. Every time our staff open an application in our admin tools, it is logged. No system is perfectly secure, and we will not claim otherwise.
Age
You must be 18 or older to apply. If you tell us you are under 18, the application is declined automatically. If someone under 18 sends an application anyway, we decline it and keep it four years like any other, as California law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above and say what changed. October 30, 2026: the application now asks for a résumé and explains texting; automatic checks now run after you send your application and may not be shown to you; applications stay on file and we may contact you about future openings; "interview" became "audition". October 31, 2026: the free-course question on the application is asked only of new dealers who are 18 or older, authorized to work in the US and available weekends; the free-lessons section now uses the same words as the request form's question about other companies; the application records the tag on the link you opened it from. November 1, 2026: we added the AI assistant our staff use to keep track of applicants to "Who can see it"; the free-lessons section now points to "When you use our lessons"; "Texts" now says we may text you about the free course if you ask about it; "Who can see it" now names Quo, our phone service, and says your texts with us may pass through the AI assistant.
