Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Teslie View ("we", "our", or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our iOS application and cloud services.

Teslie View mirrors your device screen to any standard web browser. The stream is delivered over the web to a private address, so it can be displayed on a laptop, a desktop computer, a smart TV, a tablet, a second phone, or the browser built into a car dashboard — the app behaves identically in all of them.

Teslie View is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any vehicle manufacturer, and it does not connect to, pair with, or control any vehicle or hardware accessory. All product names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
