Terms of Use

Last updated November 8, 2026

This is a draft placeholder written to cover Shuttermark's phase 1 launch and should be reviewed by a lawyer before the app goes live publicly.

Your account

You need an account to use Shuttermark. You're responsible for what happens under your account, and for keeping your password secure. You must be old enough to agree to these terms in your jurisdiction to sign up.

Content you share

You keep ownership of the spots, photos, notes, and other content you add to Shuttermark. By sharing something with another user or a photo walk, you're giving them permission to see it within the app as intended by the sharing settings you chose. Don't post anything you don't have the right to share, and don't post anything illegal, harassing, or that violates someone else's privacy (for example, marking someone's home as a "spot" without their consent).

Photo walks

Walks are organized by users, not by us. We're not responsible for what happens at a walk — use good judgment, follow local rules about access, permits, and private property, and be respectful of other attendees.

Reporting and blocking

You can block another user or report content that violates these terms. We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate these terms or applicable law.

No paywalled features

Every feature of Shuttermark is free to use. Paid tiers, when they exist, only sell additional storage space — they never gate a feature behind payment, and we don't run tracking ads.

Safety

Do not use Shuttermark while driving. Marking spots, checking the map, and reading sky conditions all require your full attention — pull over first.

Disclaimers

Shuttermark provides sky and light data (sunrise/sunset, golden and blue hour, moon phase) as a planning aid calculated from public astronomical formulas — it's an estimate, not a guarantee of conditions. We provide the app "as is" without warranties of any kind.

Changes

We may update these terms as the app evolves; we'll post changes here.
