FAQ

Boink is a private diary to track your sexual partners. Boink is not about finding sex. You can not find or share people through the app. By tracking who you were with and what you did, you will be better informed to help manage your sexual health and that of your partners. No one else on Boink can see what you enter.

You configure Boink to track only the things you are interested in. You can track just a name, place and date. Or you can track position, drug use, age, gender, location, time, money (spent or earned), safety, HIV status, images, contact info etc. It's easy to customize what you track, and you can even create new tags or rename existing one.

Partially. The notes and images you submit are stored only on your phone and Boink has no access to them (lose your phone and you lose this data. We can not restore it). Your demographic data (age, country, gender, orientation, name, email, logins, platform) we associate with your account and have access to (this data is viewable and downloadable under the privacy option of the account section). The rest of your usage, is aggregated anonymously and we don't link it to your account. Please read the boink privacy policy to be clear about what you are agreeing to. Boink has tried to keep the concepts and language as clear as possible.

Remember, the most important and private content you put into the app is stored locally on your phone. If you lose your phone, you will lose the data, and Boink can not provide you with a backup or a copy as it doesn't exist on our servers. So we recommend that you use your google account (or setup a dedicated account for this) and use our backup service which you can find in the account section. All of your data is then backed up to your Google drive, and from there you can recover it if you get a new phone or lose your phone. Note: we can not be respsonible for the security or reliability of Google services.

Yes, Boink is currently free to download and use. We will introduce a nominal annual fee to use the service at a later stage. However the goal is to make Boink as accessible as possible to as many people as possible, so a basic version will be without charge.
