Use Geotrackable responsibly, legally, and with respect for privacy, property, and safety.

Eligibility and adult-managed use

You must be at least 16 years old to create and operate your own Geotrackable account.

Younger children may participate only through an adult-managed family, troop, classroom, or similar supervised workflow. Adults are responsible for the account, the published content, and the privacy decisions made through that workflow.

Account responsibility

You are responsible for activity that happens through your account, your linked sign-in providers, and your remembered browser sessions. Keep your login methods, one-time code reveals, and secret trackable access details under your control.

Do not impersonate another person, bypass another user's access controls, or use someone else's private trackable access without permission.

Trackable codes and secret access

Public codes are meant for public pages. Secret codes and private QR values are not. Do not publish someone else's secret code, private QR, or one-time reveal details on a public page, public image, cache listing, or public comment.

If you create a new trackable, you are responsible for saving the one-time reveal details before leaving that page. Geotrackable is designed not to keep re-showing those private values through normal public workflows.

If you log a route from a full location note, the saved stop can remain part of the route history even when the fuller location note later moves, goes private, or is removed. Public route pages may also show whichever location notes are currently visible at that same coordinate when the viewer is allowed to open them.

Your content and your promises about it

You are responsible for the titles, descriptions, journey entries, mapped locations, team pages, profile blurbs, images, and outside links you submit.

Do not submit unlawful, infringing, deceptive, harassing, threatening, exploitative, or privacy-invasive content. Do not use Geotrackable to pressure someone into unsafe behavior, trespassing, or unauthorized entry.

Images

Only upload images you have the right to share and that are appropriate for the relevant audience. Do not upload images that expose secret codes, reveal private addresses without permission, or identify children in ways that the supervising adult did not intend to publish.

Geotrackable may screen, reject, remove, or limit images that fail safety review, violate these terms, or create legal or privacy risk.

External links

Only add outside links that are relevant to the page, lawful to share, and suitable for the intended audience. Geotrackable may reject, disable, or remove links that are misleading, unsafe, broken, adult-oriented, or otherwise inappropriate for the service.

When a public page uses a Geotrackable-owned exit page before sending the visitor away, that extra step is part of the service and may be used to warn visitors or route reports for review.

Location, property, and safety rules

You are responsible for following local law, land-access rules, posted signs, school policies, park rules, and property-owner restrictions. A trackable mission or game goal is never a reason to trespass, ignore safety warnings, or enter a place you are not allowed to be.

If you publish a location, route note, or mission description, make sure it does not encourage someone else to break the law or ignore obvious safety boundaries.

Teams, schools, and organizations

If you use Geotrackable for a family, troop, classroom, club, or organization, the responsible adults and the organization itself are responsible for their own approvals, notices, supervision rules, and photo or privacy permissions.

Shared team ownership does not remove the need for a clear adult decision-maker when content must be corrected, removed, or reviewed.

Support, reports, and enforcement

Geotrackable may investigate reports, moderate content, review links, remove images, disable public pages, limit features, suspend teams, or suspend accounts when needed to address abuse, privacy risk, safety risk, policy violations, or legal concerns.

If you believe a page, image, or link should be reviewed, use the report buttons or the support page so the issue can be documented and tracked.

Third-party services and availability

Geotrackable can rely on third-party infrastructure such as mapping, external sign-in providers, outside websites linked by users, and network services when the signed-in account preference and the current privacy rule allow those browser-side calls. Those third parties are not controlled by Geotrackable, and their availability, content, or policies can change independently.

The service may change, improve, restrict, or remove features over time. Geotrackable does not promise uninterrupted availability of every page, every optional third-party dependency, every hosted-map backend, or every external destination that a user chose to link.

Maps, shared data, and lawful requests

You understand that a live map needs a map source. Depending on the current privacy rule and the signed-in account preference, Geotrackable can use Google Maps Platform , OpenStreetMap , or hosted maps served from Geotrackable-owned routes. When a third-party map provider is actually used, those requests expose the normal browser and network details needed to answer, such as IP address, headers, time of request, and the map area being requested. The same basic rule applies when your browser is redirected to Google Identity or Facebook Login for external sign-in.

You also understand that Geotrackable may use Mailgun for transactional email, may later enable Twilio Messaging for text delivery, and currently uses Google Analytics on this host for sanitized page-view and limited workflow analytics rather than location-note text, secret codes, exact coordinates, names, or email addresses only when the site is configured for analytics and the current visit still allows browser-side analytics. When the effective experience mode is No 3rd Parties or a consent-required visit has not granted consent, the browser analytics tag stays off. Geotrackable may also keep short-term operational logs, security records, database logs, and backups after a deletion event for normal service, audit, abuse-review, and recovery reasons, and may preserve or disclose required records when a valid warrant, subpoena, court order, judgment, or similar lawful demand requires it. For the deeper plain-language explanation, read About Shared Data.

Signed-in account settings remain the durable source of truth after login. The visit-level privacy prompt is for the current signed-out or unresolved visit, and later restore imports do not automatically overwrite the target account settings you saved.

Privacy and contact
