1. Introduction
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the InLoco application and its related services.
These Terms regulate the relationship between the user and Stefano Mallus, creator and owner of the InLoco project (hereinafter, the “Owner”).
By using InLoco, the user confirms that they have read, understood and accepted these Terms of Use.
If the user does not agree with any provision contained in this document, they should not use the application.
These Terms govern only the use of the application. The processing of personal data is governed by the Privacy Policy, which is a separate and complementary document.
2. Description of the service
InLoco is a mobile application designed to allow users to create and manage a personal collection of places of interest by associating photographs, geographic location, categories, notes and other useful information with each place.
The application allows users to organise that information, display it on a map and in a list, search it, edit it and synchronise it across devices linked to the same account.
InLoco is intended exclusively for personal use and is not a social network, a public content-sharing platform, a document-storage service or a professional navigation system.
The Owner undertakes to develop and maintain the application with the aim of ensuring reliability, security and operational continuity, subject to the provisions of these Terms concerning service availability and limitation of liability.
3. Requirements for use
To use InLoco, users must have a valid Google account, used exclusively for authentication and access to the application.
Users agree to use InLoco in compliance with applicable law, these Terms of Use and the rights of third parties.
Users are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the content they choose to enter in the application, including photographs, notes and other information associated with their places.
InLoco may be used only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with the features provided by the application.
4. User content
Users retain full ownership of and responsibility for the content they choose to create, enter or associate with their places through InLoco.
Such content includes, by way of example, photographs, notes, titles, categories, subcategories and any other information voluntarily entered by the user in the application.
The Owner does not acquire any ownership rights over user content and processes it only to the extent necessary to operate the application, synchronise data across devices, display information and provide the other features described in the Privacy Policy.
Users are solely responsible for the content they choose to enter in the application and confirm that they hold the rights necessary to use it.
User content remains available exclusively through InLoco and according to the features made available by the application.
5. Permitted and prohibited use
Users agree to use InLoco in compliance with these Terms of Use, applicable law and the purposes for which the application was designed.
In particular, users agree not to:
- use the application for unlawful or fraudulent purposes;
- attempt to compromise the operation, security or integrity of the application or related services;
- use the application in a manner that causes harm to the Owner, other users or third parties;
- circumvent or attempt to circumvent security measures implemented by the application;
- use automated tools or unauthorised procedures to access the services or data managed by InLoco.
If use of the application is found to be manifestly contrary to these Terms or applicable law, the Owner reserves the right to take any measures reasonably necessary to protect the application and related services.
6. Third-party services
For InLoco to function correctly, the application uses certain services provided by third parties, including, by way of example, Google Sign-In, Google Maps, Firebase and Google Play.
These services are used exclusively to provide user authentication, data storage and synchronisation, map display, application distribution and the other features described in the Privacy Policy.
Use of third-party services may also be subject to the relevant terms of use and privacy notices issued by the respective providers.
The Owner is not responsible for the operation, availability or changes made to services provided by third parties, without prejudice to the commitment to adopt, where reasonably possible, alternative solutions or appropriate measures to limit any disruption to users.
7. Service availability and limitation of liability
The Owner undertakes to develop and maintain InLoco with the aim of providing a reliable, secure and continuously improved service.
However, the operation of the application may depend on factors outside the Owner’s direct control, including, by way of example, Internet connectivity, the correct operation of the user’s device, services provided by third parties or maintenance activities.
For these reasons, the Owner does not guarantee that the application or related services will be continuously available, uninterrupted or error-free.
The Owner reserves the right to modify, update, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the application or part of its features for technical, organisational, economic, security or regulatory reasons.
Where reasonably possible, the Owner will publish a notice on the official InLoco website and, where technically feasible, through the application.
Except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence as provided by law, the Owner shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damage arising from the temporary or permanent inability to use the application or any of its features.
8. Intellectual property
The InLoco application, its software, name, logo, graphics, user interface, original website content and other distinctive elements of the project constitute intellectual property of the Owner or are used in compliance with the rights of their respective owners and are protected by applicable law.
These Terms of Use do not grant users any ownership rights or rights of commercial exploitation over the application or its distinctive elements.
Users are authorised to use InLoco solely for the purposes provided by the application and in compliance with these Terms of Use.
Except where expressly permitted by law, users may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, decompile or use the software or other elements of the application for purposes other than the normal use of InLoco.
9. Changes to these Terms of Use
The Owner reserves the right to amend or update these Terms of Use where necessary, for example to reflect changes in the law, developments in the application, the introduction of new features or changes to the services used.
The updated version of the Terms of Use will be published on the official InLoco website and will include the date of the latest update.
If the changes significantly affect how the application is used or users’ rights, the Owner will, where reasonably possible, provide appropriate notice through the application as well.
Use of InLoco after publication of the updated Terms of Use constitutes acceptance of the changes made.
10. Privacy
The processing of personal data carried out in connection with the use of InLoco is governed by the Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of the relationship between the user and the Owner while remaining a separate document from these Terms of Use.
The Privacy Policy describes, among other things, the categories of data processed, the purposes of processing, the services used, data-retention periods, security measures and the rights granted to users under applicable law.
Users are encouraged to review the Privacy Policy before using the application and whenever an updated version is published.
11. Account deletion
Users may request deletion of their InLoco account and the associated data at any time, either through the dedicated function available in the application or by following the instructions on the dedicated page of the official website.
A deletion request starts a procedure designed to remove the data associated with the account in accordance with the technical processes adopted by InLoco.
After the request has been confirmed, access to the application using the account concerned may be temporarily unavailable until the deletion procedure has been completed.
Deleting the account results in loss of access to the content associated with it. Users are therefore encouraged to consider their decision carefully before requesting deletion.
For further information about account deletion and the processing of personal data, users may consult the Privacy Policy and the Account deletion page available on the official InLoco website.
12. Applicable law and contact details
These Terms of Use are governed by Italian law, without prejudice to any rights granted to users by mandatory provisions applicable in their country of residence.
For any request relating to these Terms of Use or to the use of the application, users may contact the Owner using the details below.
