SHOOT
Terms of Use
Last updated 21 September 2026
SHOOT swaps business cards between phones standing together. Using it means
agreeing to these terms. They are short because the app is small: there are
no accounts, no feed, and nothing of yours on our side.
What SHOOT does
You write your own card. When you and the people around you tap at the same
moment, your card goes to them and theirs comes to you, and only if you both
keep each other. A card only ever reaches somebody who was standing beside
you when you both tapped.
There is no feed, no profile anybody can browse, no messaging, and no way to
send anything to a person who is not there with you at that moment.
Your card is your responsibility
What is on your card is what you typed. We do not check whether your job
title, your company or your name are true, any more than a print shop checks
a paper card. If you put something false on it, that is between you and the
person you handed it to.
No tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users
Do not put objectionable content on a card. That includes
slurs, harassment, threats, sexual content, and impersonating somebody else.
Do not use SHOOT to harass anybody. There is no tolerance for either.
The app refuses a small list of slurs in your card's text. That is a check
on the phone, not a promise that everything reaching you has been vetted:
nothing passes through a moderator, because nothing passes through us at all.
What you can do about somebody
- Block them. Permanent, private, and on your phone. A blocked person never appears in a huddle of yours again, at any event, and is not told.
- Delete their card. Immediate, and it takes their details off your phone.
- Report them to us from their card in SHOOT, which opens an email to us.
What we can do, and what we cannot
We read reports and act on them within 24 hours. Being straight with you
about what "act" can mean here matters more than sounding impressive:
- There are no accounts, so there is nobody for us to suspend. Nothing identifies a person to us between one shoot and the next.
- We hold no cards. A card you were given lives on your phone and theirs, so we cannot reach into a phone and remove it, any more than we could take back a paper card.
- What reports do is tell us what is happening, and what to build next. Blocking and deleting are the remedies that work immediately, and they are yours.
If somebody behaves in a way that is criminal, that is a matter for the
police, and we will help where we can.
Age
SHOOT is for adults exchanging professional contact details. It is not
directed at children under 13.
The app itself
SHOOT is provided as it is. We do our best to keep it working, and it
depends on things we do not control — your phone, your network, and your
location being read accurately enough to find the people beside you. We are
not liable for a card that did not arrive, or for what anybody does with a
card you gave them.
Your data
What the app holds and what it does not is set out in the
privacy policy. In short: your cards live on your
phone, and our relay keeps nothing.
Changes
If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them.
