Data Hosting & Residency

Learn how Sparks ensures your data stays secure, private, and within Australia.

Data Hosting & Residency – Sparks Platform

At Sparks, we take data privacy, security, and sovereignty seriously. All Sparks applications — including Sparks Scribe, Sparks Flow, and Sparks Academy — are hosted on Supabase infrastructure in Sydney, Australia (AWS ap-southeast-2).


Data Location

  • All databases and file storage origins are located on Australian soil, within the Sydney AWS data centre.
  • Supabase’s Data Processing Addendum (DPA) guarantees that customer data is stored and primarily processed in Australia.

How It Works

  • Supabase uses AWS Sydney for data storage and backups.
  • Static files and non-sensitive assets are distributed through a global CDN for faster load times, but the authoritative origin remains in Australia.
  • Sensitive data such as user information, client details, and shift notes never leave Australian servers.
  • Supabase complies with SOC 2 standards and aligns with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
