Effective date: October 1, 2026 · Last updated: October 5, 2026

Welcome to Pinwalkie (小路标 in Chinese; called “the app” below). This agreement is between you and the independent developer of Pinwalkie (called “we” below) and covers how you use the app. By downloading, signing in to or using the app, you accept this agreement and the Pinwalkie Privacy Policy.

<aside> ✨

The key points first

• You keep the copyright in the content you share. You allow us to show it to other users in Pinwalkie, and it may also appear in Pinwalkie's promotion (without your name).
• We don't tolerate offensive content or abusive users. Content that breaks the rules is hidden or deleted, and the account may be restricted.
• Information about photo spots, Easter eggs and toilets may be inaccurate or out of date. Stay safe when you walk and take photos, and follow each site's rules.
• You can delete anything you've shared yourself in “My shares” at any time, and you can delete your account in the app at any time. </aside>

1. What the app offers

The app offers photo spots (where to take photos and how to frame them), Easter eggs, toilets and their toilet codes, and audio guides on maps of the places you visit, as well as importing note links, saving favorites, sharing content and more. We may add, change or stop some features, and we'll tell you about important changes in advance. The app is currently free.

2. Your account

• You can browse and listen to audio guides without signing in. When you share, confirm or report content, we automatically create an anonymous account for you.
• You can use Sign in with Apple to sync your favorites, visited places, stories you've heard and the places you've added, so they're saved to your account. Please keep your device and your Apple Account secure; anything done under your account is treated as done by you.
• You can delete your account at any time in Me > Account and sync > Delete account. For what happens when you do, see point 3 in Section 4 of this agreement and Sections 6 and 7 of the Privacy Policy. If you never signed in, you can delete your shares in Me > My shares, or write to us to have your anonymous ID removed.
• If you're under 14 (or a higher age set where you live), please use the app only with a parent or guardian's consent, and don't sign in or share content.

3. Rules for using the app

When you use the app, you must not:

1. Post illegal, sexually explicit, violent, hateful, harassing, discriminatory or otherwise offensive content.
2. Post false locations, toilet codes or descriptions, or deliberately mislead other users.
3. Post door codes for places that aren't open to the public, such as homes, hotel room floors, offices, schools and staff areas. Toilet codes are only for toilets open to the public or to customers, such as those in shops, restaurants and attractions.
4. Upload photos that show other people who can be recognized without their permission, or photos that show other people's personal information, such as license plates or ID documents.
5. Upload photos or text that aren't yours, including copying the text or images of other people's posts on platforms such as RedNote (Xiaohongshu) and Instagram and sharing them publicly as they are. Please write in your own words.
6. Encourage or show others how to draw or write on sights, leave things behind, go into restricted areas or break a site's rules (for example, taking photos where photography isn't allowed).
7. Create accounts in bulk, generate fake activity, scrape data automatically, or interfere with, attack or reverse engineer the app or its servers.
