This privacy policy explains what data the Spot Price app for Apple Watch processes, where it goes, and what choices you have. Spot Price is developed and operated by Martin Huszti (Sealion), an independent developer (“I”, “me”). Capitalised words have the meaning given in section 2.
1. Summary
- I do not collect, receive or store any personal data about you through the App. There is no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.
- Your Settings and the downloaded Price Data are stored only on your Apple Watch.
- To show prices, the App downloads public price files directly from the Data Provider for your Market. That provider can see your IP address, like any website you visit.
- Apple handles App Store downloads, TestFlight testing and, only if you allow it, crash reports and usage statistics.
2. Definitions
- App: the Spot Price app for Apple Watch, including its Complication.
- Complication: the Spot Price element you can add to a watch face. It shows prices the App has already saved and does not connect to the internet.
- Market: the electricity price area you select in the App: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, or one of Sweden’s bidding areas SE1–SE4.
- Price Data: public day-ahead electricity spot prices for a Market, as published by a Data Provider.
- Data Provider: the independent service the App downloads Price Data from: Volton (Volton Technology OÜ, public-data.volton.energy) for Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and Spotpris.nu for Sweden.
- Settings: the choices you make in the App: Market, price interval, VAT rate, margin and price colours.
- Personal data: any information relating to an identified or identifiable person, as defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
3. Controller and contact
Responsible for the App is Martin Huszti (Sealion).

4. Data stored on your Apple Watch
The App stores the following on your Apple Watch, in storage shared only between the App and its Complication:
- your Settings;
- the most recently downloaded Price Data for your Market (today and tomorrow);
- the time of the last download attempt, so the App does not download again too often.
The App does not send any of this to me or to anyone else. Like other app data, it can be included in the backup of your Apple Watch that is kept on your paired iPhone and, if you use iCloud Backup, in iCloud. Apple handles those backups under your Apple Account. Deleting the App deletes this data from the watch.
5. Price downloads
The App downloads Price Data from the Data Provider for your selected Market over an encrypted HTTPS connection: when you open the App and prices for today or tomorrow are missing, when you change the Market, and in the background. For background updates the App asks watchOS to refresh around 13:15 Central European Time, shortly after the next day’s prices are published, and to try again every 30 minutes until they arrive. watchOS decides when this actually happens.
Each download is a standard web request for a public file. The App does not send your Settings, any identifier, your location or any other information about you. As with any web request, the Data Provider’s server receives technical connection data: your IP address, the time of the request, the requested file, and the standard user-agent string that names the App, its version and the watchOS version. Each Data Provider processes this data as an independent controller under its own privacy policy: Volton, Spotpris.nu.
6. Links in the App
The data source link in Settings opens the Data Provider’s website. That website and its privacy policy are outside my control. Nothing is opened unless you tap the link.
7. Apple services
- App Store: Apple processes your download of the App under its own terms and privacy policy. I receive only aggregated sales and download figures.
- Crash reports and usage statistics: if you turn on “Share with App Developers” in your iPhone’s privacy settings, Apple may share crash reports and aggregated usage statistics for the App with me. They do not identify you to me. You can turn this off at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements on your iPhone.
- TestFlight: if you test pre-release versions, Apple shares with me the information TestFlight needs, such as your name and email address as an invited tester, the build you installed, crash reports, and any feedback or screenshots you choose to send.
See Apple’s privacy policy for how Apple handles this data.
8. What the App does not do
- No account or sign-in.
- No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
- No analytics, crash-reporting or other third-party SDKs.
- No tracking across other companies’ apps or websites.
- No access to your location, health data, contacts, photos, microphone or camera.
- No in-app purchases and no sale of personal data.
If this changes, I will update this policy and the App Store privacy details before the change takes effect.
9. Legal bases (EU/EEA and UK users)
- While you use the App, it does not transfer personal data to me, so I do not process any.
- Crash reports and usage statistics from Apple: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), given and withdrawn in your device settings.
- TestFlight: performance of the testing arrangement you joined (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
- Emails you send me: my legitimate interest in answering your questions and improving the App (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
10. Retention
- Data on your Apple Watch: until you change it or delete the App.
- Emails: as long as needed to handle your request, then deleted.
- Crash reports, statistics and TestFlight data: for the periods Apple keeps them available to developers.
11. Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws you have the right to access your personal data, have it corrected or erased, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Because the App does not send me personal data, I usually hold none about you unless you have emailed me. To exercise these rights, email seelowe.dev@protonmail.com. I will reply within one month.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority, in particular in the EU country where you live or work. In Austria this is the Datenschutzbehörde (dsb.gv.at).
12. Children
The App is suitable for all ages and collects no personal data from anyone, including children.
13. Changes to this policy
I will update this policy when the App or the way it handles data changes, and change the “Last updated” date above. Where the law requires it, I will inform you of significant changes before they take effect.
