Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the MateDrive app for mobile devices, created by Inhong Kim (the "Service Provider"). MateDrive is an iOS companion app for TeslaMate and connects to the TeslaMate server you configure.

How the Application Works

MateDrive is a companion app for TeslaMate, a self-hosted data logger for Tesla vehicles. The Application connects only to a TeslaMate server that you configure yourself, and displays vehicle data such as driving history, charging records, trip information, maps, and vehicle status.

Information Collection and Use

The Service Provider does not operate a backend that collects or stores your Tesla data or personal information from the Application.

MateDrive may access, display, and locally cache information that you choose to make available through your TeslaMate server, such as:

This information is transmitted directly between your device and the TeslaMate server you configure. It may also be stored locally on your device to improve app functionality and performance.

Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

The Service Provider does not sell your data and does not receive your TeslaMate data on a Service Provider-controlled server.

Depending on the features you use, data may be processed by third parties that you interact with directly through the Application, including:

Analytics and Tracking

MateDrive does not use third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or cross-app tracking controlled by the Service Provider.

Opt-Out Rights

You can stop data transmission by removing or disabling your TeslaMate server connection. You can remove locally stored app data by deleting the app from your device.

Data Retention Policy

The Service Provider does not retain your TeslaMate data on Service Provider-controlled servers. Data stored locally on your device remains under your control. Data stored on your TeslaMate server is retained according to your TeslaMate setup and hosting environment.

Children

The Application is not directed to children under the age of 13, and the Service Provider does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Security

The security of your data depends in part on the security of your device and the TeslaMate server you configure. You are responsible for protecting access to your TeslaMate server and using secure network configurations where appropriate.
