CAN I MANAGE OR TURN OFF IN-APP PURCHASES?

Yes, SPARKi allows parents to manage or completely disable in-app purchases through their device’s settings. By accessing parental controls on the device or within the app, parents can ensure that their child does not make unintended purchases. We recommend that parents enable password protection for transactions to prevent unauthorized purchases.

 

WHO PROCESSES IN-APP PURCHASES?

All transactions on SPARKi are securely handled through trusted third-party payment processors, such as Google Play and the Apple App Store. These platforms ensure safe and secure transactions by using encryption and fraud detection measures. SPARKi does not store or process any payment details directly, ensuring an additional layer of security for users.

 

ARE MY BANK DETAILS KEPT PRIVATE?

Absolutely. SPARKi does not store or have access to users' bank or credit card details. All payment transactions are processed through secure third-party providers that comply with industry security standards, including PCI-DSS certification, to protect financial data. Users can review and manage their payment methods within their Google Play or Apple App Store account settings.

 

I’VE MADE AN IN-APP PURCHASE, BUT I HAVEN’T RECEIVED WHAT I PAID FOR. WHAT NOW?

If you have completed a transaction but have not received the purchased item, we recommend the following steps:

1. Check your internet connection and restart the app to refresh content.

2. Verify your purchase history through your app store account.

3. Contact our support team at billing@sparkiapp.com with your transaction details for further assistance.

 

MY CHILD ACCIDENTALLY MADE AN IN-APP PURCHASE. CAN I GET A REFUND?

Refund policies for accidental purchases depend on the platform used for the transaction. Parents can request a refund through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, following their respective refund policies. SPARKi can assist in guiding parents through the refund request process, but final approval is determined by the payment platform.

Users can access their purchase history directly through their respective app store accounts:

• Google Play Store: Open Google Play > Tap on Profile > Payments & Subscriptions > Purchase History.

• Apple App Store: Open Settings > Tap on Apple ID > Subscriptions > Purchase History.

 

I’VE SEEN ANOTHER SITE THAT OFFERS IN-GAME PRODUCTS FOR SPARKi. CAN I BUY FROM THEM?

No. SPARKi does not authorize any third-party websites or sellers to distribute in-app products or subscriptions. Purchasing from unauthorized sources poses risks such as fraud, loss of funds, and compromised account security. Always make purchases through the official Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
