Terms of Service

Last updated: January 1, 2025 · Effective: January 1, 2025

Plain English summary: Use Tacktiq fairly and legally. Don't reverse engineer it, misuse other users' data, or rely on it for safety-critical navigation. Subscriptions auto-renew and can be cancelled anytime through iOS Settings. We're a small indie studio — we'll do our best but can't guarantee perfection.
