Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using Pinned Travel ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use Pinned. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a user is under 13, we will promptly delete their account and associated data.
2. Account Registration
Creating an Account
Pinned Travel offers limited functionality without an account. To save locations, organize trips, and sync data across devices, you must create an account using a valid email address. Authentication is handled through our backend provider, Supabase Auth.
Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Notifying us promptly at legal@pinnedtravel.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account.
3. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Pinned Travel only for its intended purpose: saving, organizing, and planning trips based on locations extracted from social media content. You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
- Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from the App itself
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security or access control features
- Use the App to harass, abuse, or harm others
- Transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code through the App
- Create multiple accounts to abuse free-tier features or circumvent usage limits
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the App or its content without written permission from Meridian Bridge Inc.
- Attempt to overwhelm or abuse the App's extraction services through excessive automated requests
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms.
4. User Content
Ownership
You retain ownership of all content you create within Pinned, including trips, collections, location notes, tips, ratings, and any other user-generated content ("User Content").
License to Meridian Bridge
By using the App, you grant Meridian Bridge Inc. a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, and process your User Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Pinned Travel service. This license exists only for as long as your content remains on our platform.
If you publish content to the Pinned Travel marketplace (e.g., travel guides), you grant us an additional license to display, distribute, and promote that content to other users of the App in accordance with the marketplace terms applicable at the time of publication.
Your Responsibility
You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent that you have the right to submit any content you provide and that your content does not violate any third party's rights.
5. Third-Party Content
Social Media Content
Pinned Travel extracts geographic location data from publicly available social media posts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, and Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book). When you paste a social media URL into Pinned Travel, our service processes the publicly available content of that post to identify and extract location information.
No Ownership or Endorsement
Pinned Travel does not own, control, or endorse any third-party social media content. The original content remains the property of its respective creators and platforms. Pinned Travel does not reproduce, store, or display the full original content of social media posts — we extract and store only location-related data (place names, addresses, and geographic coordinates).
Third-Party Platform Terms
Your use of social media content through Pinned Travel is also subject to the terms of service of the originating platforms. It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of Pinned Travel does not violate the terms of any third-party platform.
No Guarantee of Availability
Third-party content and platforms may change, become unavailable, or restrict access at any time. Pinned Travel does not guarantee that extraction from any particular platform or post will always be available or functional.
6. AI and LLM Processing
How We Use AI
Pinned Travel uses artificial intelligence to extract and identify geographic locations from social media post content. When you submit a link for extraction, the publicly available text and metadata from that post may be processed by AI services to identify location names, addresses, and coordinates.
Accuracy Disclaimer
AI-extracted location data is provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any location information extracted by the App. Results may contain errors, including but not limited to:
- Incorrect location names or addresses
- Inaccurate geographic coordinates
- Misidentified or missing locations
- Outdated information
You should independently verify any location information before relying on it for travel planning, navigation, or any other purpose. Pinned Travel is a planning tool, not a navigation or safety service.
Data Processing
AI processing occurs on our servers via secure edge functions. Only the publicly available content of the social media post is sent to AI providers — your personal information, account data, and private content are not shared with AI services for location extraction purposes.
7. Intellectual Property
Pinned Travel Brand and Technology
The Pinned Travel name, logo, visual design, user interface, software code, and all related intellectual property are owned by Meridian Bridge Inc. and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
Restrictions
You may not use the Pinned Travel name, logo, or branding without prior written permission from Meridian Bridge Inc. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the App beyond the limited right to use it in accordance with these Terms.
Feedback
If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the App, you grant Meridian Bridge Inc. a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the App without any obligation to you.
8. In-App Purchases
