About these terms
These terms describe use of Placeloader, a personal location journal for Android, and its website. The service is in development. Axenta GmbH, Lange Gasse 65, 1080 Wien, Austria, operates the app and website. Public account and cloud services are not yet available.
Read the privacy policy to understand how location and account information are handled.
Permission to use Placeloader
Subject to these terms, Axenta grants you a personal, non-exclusive permission to install and use the app on devices you are authorized to use. The app, website, branding, and original materials remain the property of Axenta or their respective owners. Open-source components remain governed by their own licenses.
You keep ownership of your places, notes, and exported history. We receive only the permission needed to process content for features you request, such as storing an encrypted backup. These terms do not give us permission to sell your personal history or use it in advertising.
You must have the legal capacity to agree to these terms, or the authorization of a parent or legal guardian where required. Placeloader must not be used for covert tracking or surveillance.
Availability and charges
The website does not currently sell subscriptions or accept payments. Access to a development version does not promise a launch date, permanent availability, or free access to future paid features. Your mobile operator may charge for data use.
Before offering a paid feature, we will provide its price, billing period, cancellation conditions, and applicable withdrawal and refund information. No paid subscription is created merely by visiting this website or using a development version.
Use it for your own days
Use Placeloader only on devices and accounts you are authorized to use. Do not use it to secretly track other people, gain access to someone else’s location history, bypass access controls, or disrupt the service.
You remain responsible for the names, notes, and other content you enter. You retain your rights to your personal content.
Understand the timeline’s limits
Visits, times, routes, and transport estimates can be incomplete or inaccurate. Battery restrictions, permissions, signal quality, device settings, and service availability affect tracking. Review and correct your history when needed.
Placeloader is not an emergency, navigation, safety-monitoring, attendance-verification, or legal-evidence service. Do not rely on it for those purposes.
Look after your device and backups
Keep your device and any account credentials secure. If you enable encrypted backup, store the recovery phrase safely. Anyone with access to it may be able to decrypt a backup; losing it may make recovery impossible.
Export information you need before deleting data or replacing a device. Development versions can change and should not be your only copy of important information.
Connected services
Maps, address search, optional place suggestions, and route snapping rely on third-party providers and their terms. Their availability and responses are outside Placeloader’s direct control. Optional cloud service availability will be stated separately when it launches.
Stopping and deleting
You can stop using the app, pause tracking, change Android permissions, or delete local data. See data and account deletion for the distinction between your device, exported copies, and any remote account or backup.
Uninstalling or signing out does not automatically delete an existing remote account.
Updates and service restrictions
Development features may change, experience interruptions, or be withdrawn. Install available updates to receive fixes. Where applicable law requires updates or remedies, those obligations continue to apply.
We may restrict connected-service access where reasonably necessary to address misuse, a security threat, or a legal obligation. Where feasible and lawful, we will explain the reason and how to contact us to challenge the restriction. A restriction does not remove your privacy rights.
Responsibility and statutory remedies
We are responsible for providing the service with the care required by applicable law. We do not promise uninterrupted operation or perfectly accurate location estimates. If something goes wrong, contact us with a description of the problem so we can investigate.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where that would be unlawful, including liability for intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or injury to life, body, or health. Your mandatory consumer guarantees and rights to correction, price reduction, termination, or other remedies remain unaffected where applicable.
Your rights and future changes
Nothing in these terms is intended to remove rights that applicable consumer or privacy law gives you. Austrian law applies without restricting mandatory protections available to consumers in their country of residence. Additional cloud-service terms will be provided before that service opens.
We will date revised terms and give reasonable notice of material changes through the website or an available service channel. Where agreement is legally required, we will request it before applying the change. Revisions do not retrospectively remove accrued rights. Consumers may bring proceedings in any court available under mandatory law; these terms do not impose an exclusive Austrian court. For questions, start with Support and the legal notice.
