2. What data is processed?

SpotGrid is an app for displaying European electricity spot prices. The app processes only the following data:

• Settings (local): Selected country, language, display mode (light/dark), daily consumption – stored exclusively on the user's device. This data never leaves the device.
• Widget data (local): Price data for the iOS and Android widget is synchronized locally via app-internal mechanisms. No external transfer.
• Notifications (local): Price alerts are triggered and calculated exclusively on the device. No push service is used; no push tokens are generated, stored or transmitted.
• Electricity price data (anonymous): The app does not query the data sources directly. All requests are routed through an intermediary proxy server operated on behalf of Smettly. The original sources are energy-charts.info (spot prices) and open.er-api.com (exchange rates). These requests contain no user identifiers.

Because the app communicates exclusively with the proxy server, no user IP addresses are transmitted to the data sources named above. No personal data is transferred to third countries.

3. No collection of personal data

SpotGrid does not collect, store or process any of the following:

• Names, email addresses or other contact details
• Location or GPS data
• Device identifiers (no advertising IDs)
• Usage behavior or analytics
• Push tokens or notification data

4. Data sources (third parties)

The data displayed originates from:

• energy-charts.info (Fraunhofer ISE) – public energy market data.
• open.er-api.com – exchange rates for currency conversion.

Both sources are queried exclusively via the intermediary proxy server. No user data is transmitted to these services.

5. Server communication

The app communicates exclusively with Smettly's proxy server. Its server logs may contain IP addresses for up to 24 hours (technical requirement) but are not analyzed or stored.

6. Data sharing with third parties

There is no sharing of data with third parties, advertising networks, analytics services or any other external parties.

7. Data security

All communication between the app and server is encrypted via HTTPS. All settings are stored exclusively on the user's device.

8. User rights (GDPR)

Since SpotGrid does not collect personal data, there is no personal data to access, correct or delete. All app data can be completely removed at any time by uninstalling the app.

For questions, contact: datenschutz@smettly.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority (dsb.gv.at).

9. Children

SpotGrid is not directed at children under the age of 13. No data is collected from children.

10. Changes to this policy

Changes will be published in the app and on this page.

11. Supplement: visiting this website

Sections 1 to 10 concern the SpotGrid app. In addition, the following applies when visiting the website spotgrid.smettly.com:

• No cookies, no tracking, no analytics. No cookies are set and no usage statistics are collected.
• No external resources: Fonts, images and stylesheets are served exclusively from our own server. No connections to Google Fonts or other third-party CDNs are established.
• Server log files: For technical reasons (operational security, error analysis) the web server briefly logs IP address, date and time, requested page and user agent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation). These logs are not merged with other data and are deleted automatically.
• External links: When you follow the links to the Apple App Store or Google Play, the privacy policies of the respective providers apply.
