Terms of Service
Last updated: October 2026
Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using Along, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.
User Responsibilities
- You must be at least 13 years old to use Along
- You are responsible for the accuracy of routes and information you share
- You may not use Along for any illegal or unauthorised purpose
- You must not attempt to manipulate trust scores or validity ratings
Content Guidelines
When sharing routes on Along:
- Route information should be accurate and based on your personal experience
- Do not share false or misleading route information
- Respect the privacy of others - do not share personal information about other commuters
- Do not post spam, advertisements, or promotional content
Trust Scores
Trust scores are calculated algorithmically based on community interactions, route detail, corroboration, and recency. Along reserves the right to adjust scores to maintain platform integrity.
Travel Times & Traffic Estimates
Journey totals show as a range (free-flow time to with-traffic time) and per-stretch times always add up to those totals. Traffic overlays are estimates — keyless by default from typical conditions, live where optional provider keys are configured — and are cached on-device with periodic refresh. They are a guide, not a guarantee: always verify critical trips through official sources.
Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your account from your profile. Requests enter a 7-day grace period during which your account is archived (posts hidden or anonymised) and you may reverse the request; after completion, personal information is deleted within 30 days while anonymised post data may be retained for platform integrity.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, including accounts engaged in spam, fraud, or abuse of the trust system.
Limitation of Liability
Along provides route information as a community service. Route accuracy is not guaranteed. Always verify critical route information through official sources. Along is not liable for losses arising from reliance on user-shared route information.
Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
