You own your notes
Everything you write and upload belongs to you. Spark is a place to keep it, not a place that takes it. You can ask us to export or delete your notes.
Privacy & boundaries
The notes are yours. The limits are clear.
Spark Family Season Notes is built to be a calm, private, parent-owned notebook, with honest lines around what it does and does not do. Here is the plain-language version of both.
Our promises
Five things that stay true.
You approve every share
Nothing is sent on your behalf. You read each handoff note and approve it before it ever leaves your hands. There is no auto-sending, ever.
No child accounts
Spark is parent-only. Your child does not log in, is not messaged, and is not contacted through Spark. We talk to parents, full stop.
Private by default
Your notes, timeline, and clips are private to you until you choose to share something. Sharing is always a deliberate step you take.
Not instruction
Spark helps you remember and ask. It does not provide instruction, or safety, terrain, weather, medical, or equipment advice.
Honest limits
What Spark does, and does not, do.
Spark helps you
- Remember what helps your rider have a good day
- Keep a simple season history per rider
- Store short progression clips you choose to upload
- Prepare a parent-approved handoff for the next instructor
- Find informational links and weather for your home mountain
- Think through what to ask before an official lesson
Spark does not
- Book lessons or request a specific instructor
- Provide instruction, coaching, or technique advice
- Make safety, terrain, readiness, or weather calls
- Give medical or equipment advice
- Message your child or create child accounts
- Claim any partnership with a resort, school, or club
What this is: Spark helps you organize what to remember and what to ask. It is not instruction. It does not give safety, terrain, weather, medical, or equipment advice. Weather and resort links are informational. Always check the resort's official report before heading out.
Child videos, handled carefully
Clips of your child get extra care.
Progression clips are some of the most personal things you might keep in Spark, so we treat them with extra caution.
- Uploading a clip is always optional and always your choice.
- Clips are private by default and tied to your account, not your child's.
- A clip is only attached to a handoff note if you add it, and you control who can open the link.
- You can remove a clip at any time, and ask us to delete stored clips.
- During the pilot, the workflow is hands-on and small by design, so clip handling stays simple and personal.
Until live storage is finalized, treat the pilot as an early build and only upload what you are comfortable sharing with us directly.
Resort & weather links
Informational only, never a decision.
What we show
Links you choose to your home mountain's own official pages (hours, lessons, parking, mountain report), and simple weather with a source and a timestamp.
What we will not claim
We never tell you a specific lesson, rental, lift ticket, or terrain choice is best, and we never make a go or no-go weather call. That is yours.
Weather is informational. Always check the resort's official mountain report before heading out, and verify hours, prices, and bookings on the resort's official site. Spark is not affiliated with any resort.
How we handle your details
Simple and minimal.
- The pilot form is a preview right now and does not collect submissions yet. When you email us to request a spot, we ask only for what we need to follow up: parent name, email, rider age range, home or planned resort, and what you are hoping for.
- We use those details to contact you about the Family Pilot, not to sell or share with third parties.
- You can ask us to export or delete your information at any time.
- A full privacy policy and terms will be published before any public launch or payment.
