1. Who is responsible
The data controller for Rayte.eu is Nicholas John Hopes, trading as Rayte.eu, Camino de la Maquinilla 18, 29788 Frigiliana, Málaga, Spain. Privacy enquiries and rights requests can be sent to nicknjh23@gmail.com.
2. Information used by the comparison
The country, annual electricity-use estimate, solar selection and export estimate entered into the comparison are used to display the requested results. These preferences are saved in local browser storage so the site can remember them on the same device. They are not used to identify a person and are not added to a Rayte.eu customer database.
When a live price is requested, the selected country code is sent to a Netlify serverless function, which obtains the relevant market data from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform. The function does not require a name, address, meter number or supplier account.
3. Hosting, security and technical logs
Netlify hosts the website and may process standard connection information such as IP address, browser type, requested page, date, time and security events. This information is used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, investigate faults and maintain security. Processing for these purposes is based on the legitimate interests of operating a secure and reliable service.
A service worker may store public site files in the device cache to improve speed and permit limited offline access. The install-message dismissal and comparison preferences are stored on the device. Visitors can remove this information using their browser’s site-data controls.
4. Contact messages
If a visitor sends an email, Rayte.eu receives the sender’s address and the information included in the message. It is used to respond, investigate a correction or handle a legal or privacy request. Correspondence is kept only while needed for the enquiry, record-keeping or applicable legal obligations.
5. Advertising and consent
Rayte.eu uses Google AdSense to display advertising. For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland, advertising choices are managed through a Google-certified consent management platform. Visitors can accept, reject or manage the available purposes and can later revisit or withdraw their choices.
Depending on the visitor’s choices and applicable law, Google and its approved partners may use cookies, local storage, IP addresses or other identifiers to deliver, personalise, measure and protect advertising. Where personalised advertising has not been accepted, Google may serve non-personalised or limited ads as permitted. Details of how Google uses information from partner sites are available at Google’s partner-sites information page.
6. External websites and sponsors
Rayte.eu links to suppliers, regulators, market operators and a clearly labelled sponsor. Opening an external link takes the visitor to a different organisation with its own privacy practices. Rayte.eu does not control those external sites.
7. International processing
Technology providers may process information outside Spain or the European Economic Area. Where data-protection law requires it, providers are expected to rely on an approved transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards.
8. Retention
Device preferences remain until the visitor clears them or the site replaces them. Hosting and security logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s operational and legal schedules. Contact information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant enquiry and legal obligations.
9. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, a person may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict personal data, object to certain processing, withdraw consent and receive portable data. Requests can be sent to nicknjh23@gmail.com. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed.
People in Spain may also complain to the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.
10. Children and changes
The service is intended for adults comparing household energy information and is not directed at children. This policy may be updated when the service, providers or legal requirements change. The current date will always appear at the top of this page.
