Privacy & cookies

Teslawaze uses no cookies at all. Not ours, not third-party — open your browser's dev tools and you'll find the cookie list empty. That's why there is no cookie-consent popup here: there is nothing to consent to.

Instead we use the browser's local storage (localStorage) — only for functional settings you choose yourself. This information is never sent to our servers or anyone else's; it exists purely so the app remembers your choices.

What	Why	How long
Appearance & language theme, auto theme, language, text size	So the app looks the way you left it	Until you clear browser data
Map settings layers, EV filter, satellite, tilt, sound, alert distance, Teslawaze Lite, card positions	Your chosen map configuration	Until you clear browser data
Navigation Home / Work addresses, last known position, active-trip resume	One-tap routing; the map opens at your location; a trip survives the browser closing (e.g. shifting into reverse)	Addresses — until you remove them; trip resume — 6 h
Community vote marks, anonymous session (Supabase)	So you can't vote twice on the same report; enables report submission and abuse protection. The session is anonymous — no name, e-mail or phone	Until you clear browser data
This notice's acknowledgement	So we don't show the privacy bar every time	Until you clear browser data

You can delete all of it yourself at any time by clearing the site's data in your browser. The app keeps working — it simply returns to defaults.

Your location is used by the browser on your device — for map following, camera alerts and navigation. Coordinates are sent to our server only when a specific request needs them (e.g. fetching the road speed limit, a weather forecast or calculating a route) — and are never linked to any identity.

• We keep no trip history and do not store where you drive.
• We have no accounts — we know neither your name, e-mail nor phone.
• We do not sell or share data with third parties.

Statistics are counted purely server-side, with zero code in your browser: a visitor is that day's anonymous digital fingerprint, the IP address is not stored, and the fingerprint changes daily, so you cannot be traced across days. All we see is "how many people opened the map today".

Technical logs (standard server records: IP, time, request) are used only for keeping the service running and protecting it from abuse.

Your browser directly reaches only these services (like any web server, they can see your IP address — but none of them use cookies):

• CARTO — base map tiles.
• Supabase — the community reports database (realtime).
• RainViewer — rain radar imagery (only when you turn the radar on).

Everything else — Waze reports, EV stations, routing, weather, address search — goes through our server: your browser never contacts those services and your IP is not revealed to them.

If you choose to link your Tesla account for the battery preconditioning feature — the access tokens are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and stored only on our server, never in your browser. We read no location, mileage or telemetry; we use a single navigation command. You can unlink at any time in the settings — the tokens are deleted immediately.
