GDPR - Requesting access to information

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives EU residents the right to access the information that data controllers have about them. With regards to Spark Hire, this means EU residents can request access to information that businesses using Spark Hire have access to. Therefore, when you request access to your information, the request is sent directly to the businesses that you have interacted with on Spark Hire.

If you're an EU resident and would like to request access to your information, please follow these instructions.

1. Open a support ticket with the Spark Hire team by submitting your inquiry here. Make sure you reference this support article in your request.
2. A member of the Spark Hire support team will provide you with the direct link to the page where you can request access to your information.
