Steigerpass

Rules of use

The rules for Steigerpass: stamp fairly, treat each other with respect – zero tolerance for objectionable content.

This is a translation for your convenience. The German version is legally binding.

Steigerpass works because everyone hikes fairly and treats each other kindly. By signing in to the app, you accept these rules.

Stamp fairly

  • A stamp only counts if you are really on site. Faked locations, emulators or other tricks are not allowed – the app checks for them and does not count such check-ins.
  • One account per person. Accounts are not transferable.

Treat each other with respect

Other hikers see your display name (e.g. on the leaderboard or among hiking companions) and – if you submit them – your photos and suggestions for stamp stations. There is zero tolerance for:

  • offensive, discriminatory, racist or sexual names and content,
  • harassment, threats or hate speech against others,
  • anti-constitutional symbols and slogans,
  • spam, advertising and fake accounts,
  • content you have no rights to or that infringes the rights of others.

We review submitted photos and stamp stations before they are published. The app filters display names automatically, but that cannot stop every bit of mischief – which is why you can report and block.

Report and block

  • Report: Open the person’s profile (e.g. from the leaderboard) and tap ⋮ → Report at the top right. We review every report within 24 hours.
  • Block: From the same menu. You will no longer be hiking companions, neither of you can send requests, and you won’t see the person on the leaderboard anymore. You can undo this anytime under Blocked people in your profile.
  • You can also write to us directly: contact@schiri.consulting.

What happens in case of violations

Depending on how serious it is, we reset an inappropriate name, remove content, do not count check-ins, or suspend or delete the account – for gross violations without prior warning.

Out on the trail: at your own risk

Steigerpass shows destinations and routes, but it does not replace a hiking map or your own judgement on site. Watch out for weather, trail conditions, closures and no-entry areas (e.g. nature reserves, private land), and never put yourself at risk for a stamp.

Changes

If these rules change, you will find it here and in the app’s news. The privacy policy and the legal notice continue to apply alongside them.
