External services
com, an external service operated by SaveElectro.
What the service is and what it is used for
html and embedded on your page in an iframe. com/wp-json/saveelectro/v1/summary.
What data is sent and when
com. com, which means their IP address and standard browser request headers are visible to that server for the purpose of delivering the widget. The plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data itself, and no account or login is required.
The widget records anonymous, aggregated usage events (for example: that a widget was viewed, that a country was switched, or that the SaveElectro link was clicked) so we can understand how the widget is used. These events contain no personal data, set no cookies, and store no IP addresses. The country of the viewer is recorded only at a coarse country level derived from network information, never an IP address.
country=FI&theme=dark ) so the correct prices are shown. No personal information is included.
com containing only this site’s domain name and the installed plugin version, so we can maintain an accurate count of active installations. This contains no visitor data and no personal information — it identifies the site, not any individual.

Translations
SaveElectro is fully translation-ready (all admin and front-end text uses standard WordPress i18n functions with the text domain saveelectro ).
By default the plugin follows your site’s own language (Settings -> General -> Site Language in wp-admin), the same as every other WordPress plugin. If you need the plugin’s own settings page in a specific language regardless of the site’s language, use the Plugin Language dropdown at the top of the SaveElectro settings page.
There are two separate things that get translated, worth understanding as distinct:
The price widget itself (the live numbers, chart, status labels, and savings advice inside the box) already supports Finnish today, automatically — it switches language based on the visitor’s selected country (Finland shows Finnish) or an explicit language parameter, independent of anything below. org’s translation system, so it works right now with no action needed from site owners.
org plugin. These are translated separately from the widget above, and availability depends on community/maintainer translation progress there.
Available languages for the widget itself:
- English (default)
- Finnish
Estonian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Latvian and Lithuanian are planned for the widget. org — WordPress automatically downloads and applies any language with an available translation there, with no action needed from site owners. Community translators are welcome to contribute directly on that platform.
