Terms of Service

 

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

 

Welcome to the Bigger Blacker Book. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) explain how you can use the app and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Bigger Blacker Book, you agree to these Terms.

 

If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

 

 

1. What the Bigger Blacker Book Is

 

The Bigger Blacker Book is a personal sexual health tracking tool designed to help users privately record information such as encounters, testing history, medications, and related notes.

 

The app is intended to support awareness, organization, and informed decision-making. It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or replacement for professional medical care.

 

 

2. Who Can Use the App

 

You must be legally allowed to use this type of app in your location and meet the minimum age requirements of your app store or platform.

 

By using the Service, you confirm that:

 

  • You are legally able to enter into this agreement

  • You are using the app voluntarily

  • You are responsible for how you use the information it provides

 

 

3. Not Medical Advice

 

The Bigger Blacker Book does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

 

Any information displayed in the app — including analytics, reminders, or summaries — is for informational purposes only. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for medical decisions, testing, diagnosis, or treatment.

 

 

4. Your Data & Your Responsibility

 

You are responsible for:

 

  • The accuracy of the information you enter

  • How you interpret and use the information stored in the app

  • Decisions you make based on that information

 

The app is designed to store data locally on your device. If you enable backups or syncing, your data may be stored through third-party cloud providers such as iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive, under your own account and subject to their terms and privacy policies.

 

We do not control, manage, or access those third-party services.

 

 

5. Privacy & Data Handling

 

Your privacy matters to us. How we handle data is explained in detail in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

 

In short:

 

  • We do not sell your personal data

  • We do not use your data for advertising

  • We design the Service to minimize what we can access or store

 

Some technical metadata (such as for syncing, notifications, or delivery) may be processed as necessary to operate the Service.

 

 

6. Partner Notifications & Sharing

 

If you choose to notify a partner through the app, messages are sent anonymously between connected profiles.

 

You understand that:

 

  • Delivery depends on technical systems outside our full control

  • We cannot guarantee receipt, response, or outcomes

  • You are responsible for how and when you choose to share information

 

 

7. Optional Public Health Participation

 

The app may offer an opt-in option to share anonymous, aggregated statistics with public health or research organizations.

 

Participation is voluntary, can be changed at any time, and does not affect your ability to use the app. Shared data does not include names, identifiers, notes, or personal content.

 

 

8. Paid Memberships

 

Some features may require a paid membership.

 

Payments are handled through your app store or platform provider and are subject to their billing terms. We do not control refunds, payment processing, or subscription management beyond what the platform allows.

 

Membership benefits may change over time as the app evolves.

 

 

9. Acceptable Use

 

Please don’t:

 

  • Attempt to reverse engineer or misuse the app

  • Use the Service for illegal purposes

  • Interfere with the operation or security of the Service

  • Use the app to harass, harm, or mislead others

 

We reserve the right to limit or terminate access if the Service is misused.

 

 

10. Service Availability

 

We work hard to keep the Bigger Blacker Book reliable, but no app is perfect.

 

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or that all features will always be available.

 

 

11. Limitation of Liability

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

 

  • We are not responsible for decisions you make based on app data

  • We are not liable for health outcomes, missed reminders, or data loss

  • We are not responsible for third-party services or platforms

 

Use of the Service is at your own discretion and risk.

 

 

12. Changes to These Terms

 

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in the app, the law, or how the Service works.

 

When we do, we’ll update the effective date and provide notice where required. Continued use of the app means you accept the updated Terms.

 

 

13. Contact

 

If you have questions about these Terms, privacy, or how the app works, you can contact us through the channels listed on our website.

 

 

Final Note

 

The Bigger Blacker Book exists to support healthier lives, better awareness, and informed choices — not to judge, police, or replace professional care.

 

Use it thoughtfully. Use it honestly. And use it in a way that works for you.
