WhileIn Terms of Service
Last updated: October 30, 2026
1. What WhileIn Is
WhileIn is a discovery and information app for the 30A corridor in Walton County, Florida. It shows local businesses, beach accesses, parking, transit, events, weather and beach conditions, and lets you save places, build itineraries, ask questions and request bookings from some businesses.
By using the App you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the App.
2. Accounts
You can browse WhileIn without an account. You need one to save favorites, build itineraries, write reviews, post to the community areas, or manage notification settings.
When you create an account, you will be asked to agree to these terms. You agree to give accurate information when you sign up, to keep your login details to yourself, and to be responsible for what happens under your account. You must be at least 13 years old to create one.
We may suspend or remove an account that is used to post unlawful content, to harass other users, to impersonate someone, or to submit deliberately false reports.
3. Beach, Water and Safety Information
This is the most important section in this document.
WhileIn shows two kinds of beach flag information, and they are not the same thing.
Some of it comes from public sources such as the South Walton Fire District and the National Weather Service. Some of it is reported by other app users, who are members of the public and not lifeguards. Community reports are labelled as such in the App.
Neither kind is an official safety authority, neither is guaranteed to be current or correct, and conditions at the shoreline can change within minutes. Do not use WhileIn to decide whether it is safe to enter the water. Always look at the flags physically flying at the beach access, read the posted signage, and follow the instructions of lifeguards and South Walton Fire District personnel. Their word overrides anything shown in this App, always.
The same applies to parking counts, shuttle status, restroom conditions, wait times and business opening hours. These are provided for convenience and may be out of date, incomplete or wrong.
4. Parking Information
Live parking space counts come from Park Walton County’s public parking system and are shown with the time they were last updated. They are not a reservation, a guarantee that a space will be free when you arrive, or a statement about whether you are permitted to park in a given lot. Payment, permits, time limits and enforcement are matters between you and the operator of the lot.
5. Content You Post
You keep ownership of the reviews, photos, videos, questions, answers and reports you post (“Your Content”). By posting Your Content, you give Visit Like a Local LLC a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable and sublicensable license to use, copy, store, edit, crop, resize, adapt, publish, display and distribute Your Content, and make new works from it, in any media now known or later developed, including the App, whilein.app, push notifications, social media, and WhileIn advertising and marketing.
You can delete Your Content from the App at any time, and we will stop showing it in the App within a reasonable time, but this license continues for copies already used in marketing, kept in backups, or shared by others. We may credit you by your display name but don’t have to. You will not be paid for Your Content, and you waive any moral rights in it to the extent the law allows.
You promise that you own Your Content or have every permission needed to give this license, including from the person who took a photo and from anyone shown in it, and that our use of it as allowed here won’t infringe anyone’s rights. If a claim arises because you posted content you didn’t have the right to post, you agree to cover our resulting costs, including reasonable legal fees.
You agree not to post anything unlawful, abusive, misleading, or that infringes someone else’s rights, and not to submit false condition reports, since other people make decisions based on them.
We may remove content that breaks these rules, and the App has reporting and auto-hiding mechanisms for content other users flag.
Copyright complaints. If you believe content in the App infringes your copyright, email hello@whilein.app with: your contact details, the work you say is infringed, where the content appears in the App, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and that you own or are authorized to act for the copyright owner, and your physical or electronic signature. We will remove or disable content that is the subject of a valid notice, and we end the accounts of repeat infringers.
6. Bookings and Third-Party Businesses
Some listings let you request a booking, either by sending a request through the App or by following a link to the business’s own booking system.
WhileIn is not a party to those bookings. The contract is between you and the business. We do not control their pricing, availability, cancellation terms, safety practices, insurance or conduct, and we are not responsible for them. Any dispute about a booking is between you and that business.
Where a link takes you to a third-party site, that site’s own terms and privacy policy apply once you leave the App.
7. Business Listings
Listing information is gathered from public sources, from business owners and, in some cases, from third-party data providers. We try to keep it accurate but cannot promise it is. Inclusion of a business is not an endorsement, and we are not responsible for the goods or services any listed business provides.
If you are a business owner and something about your listing is wrong, you can submit a correction through the App.
Business content. If you claim a listing or upload photos, logos, descriptions, menus, deals, events or other materials for a business, you give WhileIn the same license described in section 5 for that content, make the same promises, including that you have written permission from the photographer of every photo and from anyone shown in it, and agree to cover our costs in the same way. Businesses with a paid plan are also covered by their sponsor agreement, which controls if the two conflict.
8. Availability
We try to keep the App working and up to date, but we do not promise it will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free. Some features depend on third-party services and public data feeds that we do not control, and those can change or stop without notice. Features may be added, changed or removed.
9. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
The App and everything in it is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of the App. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Ending Your Use
You can stop using the App at any time, and you can delete your account from inside the App at Profile, then Account Details, then Delete Account. What is removed and what is kept is set out in the Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these terms.
11. Changes
We may update these terms. Changes will be shown by an updated date at the top. For material changes, we will also ask account holders to accept the updated terms in the App, and continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States.
