Compliance & Ethics
How Sparkhound holds itself accountable, and how to tell us when something isn't right.
How We Do Business
Trust is everything in our business. Our clients, partners, and employees count on us, and we earn that by doing what we say we’ll do, being honest, and treating people well. We follow the laws that apply to our work, keep confidential information confidential, and steer clear of conflicts of interest.
Speak Up Program
If something doesn’t seem right, we want to hear about it. Send an email, or use the form if you’d rather stay anonymous. Reports made in good faith are protected from retaliation.
Use the SpeakUp form
The form walks you through what happened, when and who was involved. Your name and contact details are optional.
Start a Confidential ReportOpens a secure Microsoft form in a new tab. Best if you want to stay anonymous.
Email the SpeakUp team
Prefer to write it in your own words, or need to send a follow-up? Email us directly.
[email protected]Email shows your address. Use the form if you'd rather not share your name.
What to report
- Fraud, theft, or financial misconduct
- Violation of law, regulation, or contractual obligation
- Security incident, data breach, or unauthorized access
- Privacy or confidential information concerns
- Violation of Sparkhound policy
- Conflict of interest
- Bribery or improper business conduct
- Misuse of company, client, or vendor assets
- Harassment or discrimination
- Retaliation
- Unsafe working conditions
- Manager or leadership misconduct
Not sure it counts? Report it anyway. The form has an “Other” option, and we would rather hear about it.
