Privacy & data
Check My Solar is designed to use only what’s needed to provide the service: account identity, Fox Cloud data for your inverters, and optional forecast and notification settings.
What we use
Section titled “What we use”- Account — Email (for magic-link login) and, if you use it, OAuth (Google/Apple) identity. Used to sign you in and associate your linked inverters and preferences.
- Fox Cloud — When you link via OAuth or API key, we access your inverter data from Fox Cloud (read-only) to show generation, consumption, battery, and grid data. We do not control or store your Fox Cloud password; API keys are stored encrypted.
- Forecast — If you set up Forecast.Solar or Solcast, we send location/capacity (and API key for Solcast) to those services to get forecasts. Their privacy policies apply to that data.
- Notifications — Push tokens and email address are used to deliver reports and alerts you enable. Notification preferences (times, thresholds) are stored per device.
Where it’s stored
Section titled “Where it’s stored”- Account and app preferences are stored on our infrastructure (e.g. Cloudflare). Inverter data is fetched from Fox Cloud when you use the app and may be cached briefly for performance; we don’t sell or share it with third parties for advertising.
- Full details (data collected, legal basis, retention, your rights) are in the Privacy Policy.
