Terms of Use
Effective October 12, 2026.
Agreement and operator
PlaceThreadz is operated by Nancy Finnegan personally. These Terms govern your use of PlaceThreadz and its photo, Place, Moment, Group, and map features. Read these Terms and the Privacy Policy before using the service. Effective October 12, 2026. Questions and reports: nancy@placethreadz.com.
Who may use PlaceThreadz
You must be at least 13, or the higher minimum age required by applicable law. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian. A parent or guardian should review these Terms with you. You must provide accurate account information, protect your password, and use only an account you are authorized to use. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
Your content and permissions
You retain ownership of content you upload. You must have the rights and permissions needed to upload and share it, including permission where required from people shown in a photo. Uploading content grants us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free license to host, store, reproduce, technically process, and display it only as needed to operate PlaceThreadz according to your sharing choices. This does not authorize us to use your photos in external advertising without separate permission. The license ends when content is removed, except to the extent needed for limited backup, security, or legal retention and for copies already lawfully shared through the service. Other users do not receive a general right to republish your photos.
Visibility and shared Places
Review your audience before posting. Public content may be seen by other users of public areas. Group content is limited by Group access and the Place and Moment settings. Private content is intended for your account. Public or Group photos and locations can reveal sensitive information. Users may take screenshots or make copies outside our control. A Place is a shared location record; other users may contribute their own Moments. Deleting your account may preserve that Place’s name and location and other people’s contributions. Your own Moments, account association, and Place story are removed as described in the Privacy Policy. A Group may transfer to a remaining member when its owner deletes their account.
Conduct and prohibited content
Do not use PlaceThreadz for harassment, threats, stalking, bullying, hate, fraud, impersonation, or unlawful activity. Do not post sexual exploitation, sexual content involving minors, nonconsensual intimate imagery, explicit sexual imagery, graphic violence, or content that violates someone’s privacy or intellectual property. Do not publish sensitive information about another person without appropriate permission. Do not use locations to facilitate harm or trespassing. Do not circumvent access controls, scrape private content, compromise the service, or upload malicious code. Respect other users and their sharing choices.
Reporting and removal requests
Report harmful content, privacy violations, impersonation, or copyright concerns to nancy@placethreadz.com. Include enough information to locate the content, such as the Place name, Moment date, and account involved, plus an explanation and a way to contact you. Do not send intimate images or passwords in your report. For a request about nonconsensual intimate imagery, identify the content sufficiently for us to locate it, state your good faith belief that it was shared without consent, and include your contact information and electronic or physical signature. We will handle removal requests under applicable law, including applicable time limits. We may seek additional information needed to evaluate a report. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
Moderation and account restrictions
We may review reports and restrict or remove content or accounts that violate these Terms, applicable law, or other people’s rights. We may suspend access to investigate abuse or protect the service. We do not promise that every submission is reviewed or that all harmful material will be detected. If you believe a restriction was made in error, contact us with the relevant details. These Terms do not replace any mandatory reporting or removal obligations.
Deleting content or your account
You can delete your own Moments and use Delete Account in Settings. Account deletion is permanent and does not delete another person’s contributions. Shared Places and Groups may remain as explained above and in the Privacy Policy. Do not delete an account unless you intend to lose access to it and its content. Contact us if you need help removing personal details from a retained shared record.
Maps, accuracy, and availability
Place information, photos, captions, and historical claims may be supplied by users and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Maps and addresses depend in part on third party services. Verify information before relying on it for travel or safety. PlaceThreadz does not grant permission to enter private property or restricted areas. We may change features or interrupt service for maintenance, security, or other operational reasons.
Legal protections
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided as available without promises that it will always be uninterrupted, accurate, or error free. To that same extent, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from service use. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, limits mandatory consumer rights, or restricts rights that apply to minors. Applicable law determines any rights or remedies not addressed here.
Changes and contact
We may update these Terms as the service develops. We will update the effective date and give additional notice where required. Material changes will apply prospectively as permitted by law. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent allowed by law. Contact Nancy Finnegan at nancy@placethreadz.com with questions, reports, or requests.
