WattDip privacy policy
WattDip is provided by Flamesilk LLC. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions.
Data on your device
WattDip stores your display thresholds and cached public electricity prices on your device. The app and its widgets share this information through an App Group container. Widget display choices are managed by iOS. Device backups are governed by your system settings. Removing the app removes its local app data, subject to system backups and shared-container lifecycle.
Optional price alerts
Opening Alerts registers an anonymous installation with our notification service, hosted on Railway. No WattDip login, email address, telephone number or ComEd account is required. Your device keeps a private access credential in the system Keychain. The service stores the installation identifier, notification permission status, Apple push token when available, reminder names, conditions, schedules and operational timestamps needed to run your alerts. Apple Push Notification service delivers notifications; delivery depends on your device, network and system settings. This service does not read your electricity meter or infer actual household consumption.
Subscriptions
Apple handles purchases and payment details. We receive signed transaction identifiers and subscription status to verify Pro access, renewals, refunds and expiry. We do not receive or store your payment card or bank account details. You can restore purchases and manage your subscription through Apple. Subscription access and device notification settings are separate.
Encrypted backups
The notification service makes encrypted recovery backups in a private Railway storage bucket. Backups use a seven-day retention period; expired copies are removed during scheduled cleanup. Only the service and authorized administrators can access them. Deleting notification service data removes it from the active service; existing recovery copies expire through this retention process. Recovery copies are isolated from normal alert processing and are used only for service recovery.
Service records and deletion
The service keeps delivery records for up to 30 days and identifiers of processed Apple subscription notifications for up to 90 days. Saved rules and device registration remain until you delete the notification service data. Use Settings → Alert data → Delete Alert Data to stop monitoring and delete this installation's rules, registration, delivery records and subscription association. Deleting alert data does not cancel your Apple subscription. Apple may retain transaction records under its own policies. We use installation activity timestamps and aggregate device, rule, subscription-status and delivery-submission counts for first-party operational statistics, including measuring active service usage. These statistics are not used for advertising or cross-app tracking. An accepted push request does not prove a notification was viewed. Contact [email protected] about deletion or support.
Public price requests
The app, widgets and notification server request public prices over HTTPS from hourlypricing.comed.com. Requests to ComEd do not include your name, email, location, utility account, meter readings or custom alert thresholds. Receiving services necessarily receive network connection information such as IP addresses and standard request metadata, and handle it under their own policies. WattDip does not connect to your ComEd account.
Analytics, advertising and tracking
WattDip contains no advertising, third-party analytics SDK or cross-app tracking. We do not collect advertising identifiers. Notification-service data is used for reminders, subscription access, security and operational diagnostics. No location, contacts, camera or microphone access is requested. Notification permission is optional and can be changed in system Settings.
Support and external links
If you email [email protected], we receive the information you choose to send, including your email address and any screenshots or diagnostic details. We use it to respond and resolve your request. Please do not send account credentials or other sensitive information. Support correspondence is retained as needed for support and applicable legal obligations; contact us to request deletion. Opening an App Store rating page or another external page is governed by that service's policies.
Children
WattDip does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app. Contact us if you believe you have sent information that should be removed.
Changes
We may update this policy as the app changes. The effective date identifies the current policy. The policy is available offline in Settings and online at https://flamesilk.com/wattdip/privacy/.
