TariffSaver ("TariffSaver", "we", "us", or "our") helps users manage compatible smart devices based on electricity prices and user-defined plans.
This Privacy Policy explains what information TariffSaver processes, why it is processed, how it is stored, and what choices and rights you have.
By using TariffSaver, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information we process
Account information
If you create a TariffSaver account, we process information necessary to provide the account, including your email address, account authentication information, account verification status, and identifiers required to associate your TariffSaver data with your account.
Passwords are handled by the authentication provider and are not stored by TariffSaver in plain text.
SmartThings information
If you choose to connect your SmartThings account, TariffSaver receives access to SmartThings information and permissions that you explicitly authorize through the SmartThings authorization process. Depending on the permissions you grant and the devices you choose to use with TariffSaver, this may include identifiers of compatible devices, device names, device capabilities, device state, and authorization tokens or other technical credentials required to communicate with SmartThings.
TariffSaver uses this information only to provide the SmartThings-related functionality you request, such as displaying devices, reading their state, and switching them on or off according to your plans. TariffSaver does not receive your SmartThings password. You can disconnect SmartThings from TariffSaver at any time.
TariffSaver settings and plans
We process information that you create or select when using TariffSaver, including devices you add, device names and settings, your selected tariff country, electricity-price limits, plan names, plan intervals and schedules, active and saved plans, and settings needed to apply those plans to your devices.
Electricity price information
TariffSaver retrieves electricity-market price information from external electricity-price sources, including Nord Pool-related data. Electricity-market prices themselves are not personal data. However, your selected tariff country and plans based on those prices may be stored as part of your TariffSaver account settings.
Notifications
If you enable notifications, TariffSaver may process a device or push-notification token, notification preferences, and technical information needed to deliver notifications. Notifications may include information about price availability, plan expiration, or failures to switch a device. You can disable notifications through TariffSaver or through your device settings.
Technical and diagnostic information
When you use TariffSaver, our infrastructure and service providers may automatically process limited technical information needed to operate, secure, diagnose, and maintain the service. This may include IP address, date and time of requests, application or browser information, device and operating-system information, server logs, error and diagnostic information, and security-related events. We use this information for service operation, troubleshooting, security, abuse prevention, and reliability.
2. How we use information
We process information to create and maintain your account; authenticate you; synchronize your data; connect TariffSaver to SmartThings at your request; display and manage devices; read device state; switch devices according to plans; retrieve electricity prices; create, save, update, and execute plans; deliver requested notifications; provide support; diagnose errors; maintain reliability; protect TariffSaver and its users; and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data.
3. Legal bases for processing
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on performance of a contract, consent where required for optional notifications, device permissions, or advertising-related processing, legitimate interests in operating and securing TariffSaver, and legal obligations.
4. Service providers and third parties
TariffSaver may use Google services, including Google Cloud and Firebase, for authentication, hosting, databases, infrastructure, push notifications, logging, and diagnostics. If you connect SmartThings, information is exchanged with Samsung SmartThings according to the permissions you grant. TariffSaver may obtain electricity-market information from third-party data providers and does not intentionally send your account information to them unless technically necessary.
5. Advertising
TariffSaver uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Depending on your location, device settings, consent choices, and the type of advertising shown, Google and its partners may process advertising or device identifiers, IP address, device and operating-system information, application information, approximate location, advertising interaction information, and consent signals.
Where required by law, TariffSaver asks for consent before personalized advertising. In the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, advertising choices are managed through a consent management platform supporting applicable Google requirements. You may choose not to consent to personalized advertising. TariffSaver may still display non-personalized or limited advertisements. You can review or change advertising privacy choices from within TariffSaver where available.
6. Cookies, local storage, and device identifiers
TariffSaver and its service providers may use application storage, browser storage, cookies, or similar technologies for authentication, settings, security, privacy choices, and delivering or measuring advertisements. Where consent is legally required, TariffSaver requests it before non-essential storage or advertising-related processing.
7. Data retention
We retain personal data only as reasonably necessary. Account-related data is generally retained while your account remains active. After account deletion, we delete or anonymize data that is no longer necessary, subject to backup cycles, limited security or diagnostic logs, and legal retention requirements. SmartThings authorization information will no longer be used after disconnection or deletion.
8. Deleting your account and data
You can delete your TariffSaver account from within the application. Deletion may stop active plans, disconnect SmartThings, remove devices, plans, settings, notification registrations, and other account-related data. Limited information may remain temporarily in backups, logs, or systems where necessary for security, technical, or legal reasons.
9. Your privacy rights
Where GDPR or similar laws apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data; object to certain processing; request portability; withdraw consent; and lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority. These rights may be subject to applicable legal conditions. In Latvia, you may also contact the Data State Inspectorate of Latvia (Datu valsts inspekcija).
10. International data transfers
Some service providers may process information outside your country of residence. Where required by law, appropriate safeguards are used, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other lawful mechanisms.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal data. However, no internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping access to your account and connected third-party accounts secure.
12. Children
TariffSaver is not intended for children under the age at which they can independently consent under applicable law. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children for advertising or profiling purposes.
13. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when TariffSaver changes, when functionality is introduced, or when legal requirements change. The current version will be available through TariffSaver or on the TariffSaver website. If a change materially affects processing, we may provide additional notice.
