2. In short
As the developer, I have no direct access to your vehicle data, VIN, location data, Bluetooth connection, private vehicle key, app settings, or locally stored content. Tespit has no user account of its own, no backend of its own, no cloud database of its own, no ads, and no tracking system.
A lot of data stays local on your iPhone. Certain features run through Apple services, for example StoreKit for purchases/subscriptions, MapKit for maps/routes, Apple diagnostics, or the iTunes search for cover artwork. In addition, Tesla and Tesla services may process their own data in connection with your vehicle, your Tesla account, the Tesla app, or vehicle systems. I have no direct database access to that data.
3. No official affiliation with Tesla
Tespit is not an official Tesla app. It is not operated, sponsored, reviewed, or officially endorsed by Tesla. All trademarks and names belong to their respective owners.
4. Data stored locally on your device
Depending on how you use the app, the following data may be stored or processed locally on your device:
- Vehicle VIN and vehicle name: for locally setting up and selecting your vehicle.
- Private vehicle key: stored locally and device-bound in the iOS Keychain.
- Pairing status: to recognize whether a vehicle has already been set up.
- App settings: for example language, layout, units, map style, theme, premium/promo unlock status, and display options.
- Bluetooth and vehicle status while in use: for display on the dashboard.
- Live Activity content: if enabled, to show dashboard information on the lock screen/Dynamic Island.
This local data is not transmitted to me as the developer.
5. Data processed via Apple
The app may use Apple services:
- StoreKit: to handle in-app purchases, subscriptions, restoring purchases, and purchase status.
- MapKit and Apple route calculation: for map, location, and navigation features.
- iTunes search: to look up media cover artwork by title, artist, or album.
- Apple diagnostics: crash and diagnostic data may be provided to me via Apple if you've agreed to share it with developers.
- App Store Connect: Apple may show me aggregated information such as downloads, sales, revenue, subscriptions, and general app statistics.
These services are processed by Apple. I don't see raw data such as your live location, vehicle connection, private key, or your locally stored app settings.
6. Data processed by Tesla
If you use a Tesla vehicle, the Tesla app, a Tesla account, or Tesla vehicle services, Tesla may process its own data independently of Tespit. Depending on your Tesla settings and usage, this may include vehicle data, diagnostic data, location/route information, app and account data, security data, software/service data, or vehicle system data.
Tespit does not operate a backend for this and does not forward this Tesla data to me as the developer. I have no access to your Tesla account, your Tesla app, Tesla servers, your Tesla vehicle history, or data that Tesla processes directly from the vehicle or via Tesla services.
Tesla's own privacy information applies to this processing. You can review data sharing and privacy options in your Tesla account, the Tesla app, or the vehicle, to the extent Tesla offers these settings.
7. Bluetooth and vehicle connection
Bluetooth is used to establish a local connection to the supported vehicle. The connection is used for the dashboard display and pairing. The private keys remain local in the iOS Keychain. I, as the developer, cannot access these keys.
8. Location data
Location data is used for map, route, and dashboard features. The app only requests the "While Using the App" permission. Your location is not transmitted to any backend of my own.
9. Clipboard and Tesla deep link
The app may let you paste text from the clipboard via a button, for example the VIN. It can also open the Tesla app via a deep link. No data is transmitted to me as a result.
10. Support via email
If you contact support via email, I process the information you voluntarily send, for example your email address, description of the issue, screenshots, or technical details. Please don't send private vehicle keys, credentials, or other sensitive information.
11. No ads, no tracking, no data sale
As of now, the app does not use any ad network, tracking system, Firebase Analytics, or an analytics backend of its own. Personal data is not sold.
12. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of processing. For any requests, please use the email address listed above. In many cases, you can delete locally stored app data simply by removing the app from your device.
13. Changes
This privacy policy may be updated as features, services, or legal requirements change.
