Draft, last updated 12 November 2026.

Terms of Use

These terms are an agreement between you and Backedfly Technologies Limited (RC 10003603), a company registered in Nigeria with its registered office at No 5, Bailey Street, Abule Ijesha, Lagos State 100213, Nigeria ("Gido", "we"). Backedfly Technologies Limited provides the Gido app. By using the Gido app you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Gido.

1. Who can use Gido

You must be 18 or older. Gido is made for adults. If we have reason to believe you are under 18, we pause your account and review it, and we delete accounts of people under 18. In the UK we may ask you to complete an age check before you can chat.

2. What Gido is, and what it isn't

• Gido is an AI, not a person. The replies come from an artificial intelligence. Gido says so at the start of each conversation and if you ask.
• Gido is not a professional. It is not a doctor, therapist, counsellor, lawyer, financial adviser or pastor, and it doesn't diagnose, treat or cure anything. What it says is not professional advice. For decisions about your health, money, legal matters or safety, please talk to a qualified person.
• Gido can be wrong. It may misunderstand you or say something inaccurate, including about the Bible. Check what matters.
• Voices are pastors and teachers we invite. Gido quotes their published messages and links to them. Their views are their own.

3. If you are in crisis

Gido is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in danger, call your local emergency number now.

When a message suggests someone may be at risk, Gido shows Get help now: helplines for your country that our team has called and checked, or your country's emergency number. Get help now is always free, and is never blocked by coins or limits. Gido can't call anyone for you, and doesn't contact emergency services. How this works, and how many times Gido showed help each year, is in "How Gido keeps you safe" in the app.

4. Your account

Keep your device secure. You're responsible for what happens in your account. You can delete your account at any time in You → Privacy; everything in it is deleted.

5. Coins

Replies from Gido cost coins. You get welcome coins when you join and can buy more in the App Store.

• Coins have no cash value, can't be transferred, and expire 12 months after you receive them.
• Purchases are handled by Apple under its terms, and refunds go through Apple.
• Safety replies are never charged.
• We may change the price of a reply in coins. We'll tell you before it changes.

6. Using Gido well

Don't use Gido to:

• break the law;
• harm, threaten or harass anyone;
• try to get content that sexualises anyone, or any content about children of a sexual nature;
• try to get instructions for harming yourself or others;
• get around Gido's safety rules;
• copy or resell Gido;
• interfere with how it works.

We may pause or close accounts that do.

7. Content

• What you write is yours. You give us permission to use it to run Gido for you, as our Privacy Policy describes. We don't sell it or use it for ads.
• Voices' messages belong to them or their churches. They are shared in Gido under the Voice licence.
• Report content you think is harmful, illegal, misleading or infringes copyright: tap Report on the message or the Voice. We review reports within 24 hours and tell you the outcome in the app. You can also hide a Voice so you never see them.

8. Changes and ending

We may update Gido and these terms. If a change matters, we'll tell you in the app before it applies. You can stop using Gido and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or if we have to by law.

9. Liability

[For the lawyer: the limitation of liability and disclaimer of warranties, as allowed by the law where the person lives. Consumer rights that can't be excluded stay unaffected.]
