Privacy Policy

Voltcheckr is a free tool that helps Texans compare electricity plans. We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

What we collect

When you upload a bill, we extract: provider name, billing period, usage in kWh, total charged, effective rate, ZIP code, and your ESI ID (if present). We do not extract or store your name, account number, physical address, phone number, or any payment information.

When you enter your ZIP and home size manually, we store only those two values plus the plans we showed you.

We also record standard analytics events: page views, button clicks, session IDs, approximate location (from ZIP), browser + device type, and referral source. No personally identifying information is attached.

Your bill file

Your uploaded bill is deleted within 60 seconds of analysis. We never retain the original PDF or image. The extracted numbers above are what we keep.

How we use your data

We use the extracted numbers to rank Texas electricity plans against your actual usage and show you savings. We use anonymized analytics events to improve the product. We do not sell your data.

When you click "Switch" on a plan, we forward you to the provider's signup page. We earn a referral commission if you complete the switch. The provider then handles your account directly — we are not part of the transaction.

Third parties

We use Power to Choose (the official Texas PUC public plan database) as our source of plan data. We use OpenAI's GPT-4o to extract structured data from uploaded bill files. We use Vercel for hosting and analytics, and Supabase for our database. We use Rewardful for affiliate tracking.

Your rights

You can request deletion of any data we have about you by emailing us. We'll honor the request within 30 days.
