Privacy Policy
Short version: Veltor has no servers and no user accounts. It does not collect, store, transmit, or sell your personal data. Your VIN never leaves your phone. Everything the app knows stays on your device.
1. Who we are
Veltor ("we", "us", "our") is a mobile application developed and published by Veltor App. Contact: veltorapp@gmail.com
2. We do not collect your data
Veltor is serverless and offline-first. We operate no cloud backend, we have no user accounts, and there is nowhere for your data to be sent — so none of it is collected, transmitted, or shared with us or anyone else.
The following is processed entirely on your device and never leaves it:
- Your vehicle identification number (VIN) — see section 3
- Live vehicle telemetry read from your car (speed, gear, motor power, battery, odometer)
- Location / GPS data, when you use the app with a non-Tesla vehicle or the HUD (used only to calculate speed on your device)
- Trip history and efficiency statistics (stored in the app's private, on-device storage)
- App preferences and settings
Uninstalling the app deletes all of it.
3. Your VIN, and how Veltor talks to your car
Veltor connects directly to your Tesla over Bluetooth Low Energy. It does not use the Tesla Fleet API, it does not ask for your Tesla account or password, and it never communicates with Tesla's servers or ours.
You enter your VIN once. It is used only, on-device, to recognise your car over Bluetooth and to sign the requests your car trusts, as required by Tesla's Bluetooth protocol. Your VIN is never uploaded, logged remotely, or shared.
Veltor adds itself to your vehicle as a read-only key. It can read telemetry. It cannot unlock, start, drive, or send any command to your car. You can remove Veltor's key at any time from your car's touchscreen, under Locks.
4. Location data
Veltor requests location permission to provide GPS-based speed when you are not connected to a Tesla, and for HUD display. Location is processed in real time on your device and is never uploaded to any server. If you allow background location, this only lets speed — and therefore the engine sound — keep working while the app is in the background. It remains on your device.
5. Analytics, crash reporting and advertising
Veltor contains no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, and no advertising. We do not track you, profile you, or use any third-party tracking technology. There are no identifiers used for tracking, and we do not participate in any ad network.
If this ever changes, this policy will be updated and the app's App Store privacy information will be updated before any such code ships.
6. Diagnostics you choose to send
Veltor keeps a short diagnostic log on your device to help troubleshoot Bluetooth pairing. It is never sent anywhere automatically. It is shared only if you explicitly tap "Share diagnostics", at which point you choose the destination yourself using your phone's own share sheet. Your VIN, and the Bluetooth name derived from it, are removed from the log before it can be shared.
7. Children's privacy
Veltor is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because we do not collect personal information at all.
8. Data retention and deletion
Because everything is stored locally on your device, you can delete all Veltor data at any time by uninstalling the app. To additionally remove Veltor's read-only key from your vehicle, use your car's touchscreen: Controls → Locks.
9. Your rights
Rights such as access, rectification, portability and erasure normally apply to data a company holds about you. We hold none. Those rights are therefore exercised directly on your device, through the app's own controls or by uninstalling it. If you have any privacy question or concern, contact us at veltorapp@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be notified via an in-app notice. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
