Terms of Service
Tackpic · Last updated 9 October 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and the developer of Tackpic. Using the app means accepting them.
The short version: publish only photographs you took and would be glad to come across yourself, and they are public for 24 hours. Everything below says what that means in practice.
Who may use Tackpic
You must be at least 16 years old. Sixteen rather than thirteen because Tackpic publishes where a photograph was taken, and because several countries set their own floor at sixteen for a service like this one. An account is yours alone; do not let anybody else use it.
What Tackpic is
Tackpic is a map of photographs. A photograph is taken in the app, pinned to where you were standing, and public for 24 hours from the moment it was taken. After that it leaves everybody else's feed and map and is deleted from the server.
Your own permanent copy is not deleted. It stays in your record, and in your own iCloud if you turn that on.
Tackpic makes no claim that any photograph is true, and does not check where or when one was taken beyond what the phone reported. Nothing in the app is verified or edited by the developer.
The publishing rules
You agree to these before you publish anything, and they are in Settings afterwards. There are three.
- Share what you'd be glad to come across yourself. Nothing sexual, violent or hateful.
- Ask before you share someone's face or home.
- See something that doesn't belong? Report it, and it comes down.
Read as obligations, that means you will not publish sexually explicit material, graphic violence, or material that attacks or demeans people for who they are; that you will not publish a recognisable person or a private home without the agreement of the people it concerns; and that you accept that reported material is removed.
Beyond those three, you also agree not to publish anything unlawful, anything that infringes somebody else's rights, and nothing that puts a person at risk by revealing where they are.
Your photographs are yours
You keep every right you have in what you publish. By publishing a photograph you give the developer permission to store it, copy it and show it to other people in the app for as long as it is public and no longer. That permission exists so the app can work and ends when the photograph does.
Your own permanent copy is outside this. It is yours, it is stored in your iCloud rather than ours, and no permission over it is given here.
How Tackpic limits what can be published
Some of this is enforced by the app rather than asked of you, and it is worth knowing:
- The camera is the only way in. There is no picker, so a photograph in Tackpic was taken in Tackpic.
- No location, no shutter. A photograph that cannot be placed on the map is not taken.
- Ten a day. Ten photographs may be public at once. A slot returns 24 hours after the photograph that spent it, and deleting one does not hand it back.
Reporting, blocking, and removal
Every published photograph can be reported, and every account can be blocked, from the same menu. A report hides that photograph from you immediately. Three reports from three accounts remove it for everybody without anyone acting on it, and the operator reviews reports and can remove a photograph or stop an account at any time.
Blocking is symmetric: neither of you will see the other's photographs anywhere in the app.
An account that is stopped can write to the address below to appeal. Content may be removed, and an account stopped, without notice where these terms or the law require it.
What you must not do to the service
Do not attempt to break into, overload or interfere with Tackpic or its server; do not try to get at other people's data; do not use the app through anything other than the app itself; and do not collect other people's photographs or details out of it, by hand or by machine.
Ending it
You can delete your account at any time, in Settings. It removes your account and everything attached to it, and it cannot be undone. Your own copies in iCloud are yours to keep or remove separately.
The developer may stop an account that breaks these terms, and may stop offering Tackpic altogether, in which case reasonable notice will be given where that is possible.
No warranty
Tackpic is provided as it is. There is no promise that it will be uninterrupted, that a photograph will publish, that it will stay available for its full 24 hours, or that anything will be preserved. Keep your own copies of anything you care about.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, the developer is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost data, or for anything arising from what other people publish. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing here affects rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.
Changes
These terms may change. The date at the top changes with them, and a change that affects what you may publish or what happens to it will be said in the app.
