Terms of Use

Accepting these terms

Using blackgirlstechday.com means accepting these terms and the privacy policy. If you do not accept them, stop using the site. The terms may be updated; continuing to use the site after a change means accepting the updated version.

What you may do with the content

• Read it, print it and share links to it, including with a clinician.
• Quote a short passage, roughly a paragraph, with clear attribution and a link to the page it came from.
• Cite figures and follow them back to the primary sources listed on each page. That is what those citations are there for.
• Use it as preparation for a medical appointment, which is what most of it is written for.

What you may not do

• Republish an article in full, or a substantial part of one, on another site, in an app, in a newsletter or in print.
• Scrape or bulk-download the site to reconstruct it, in whole or in part, anywhere else.
• Remove bylines, dates, sources or disclaimers from any content you are permitted to quote.
• Present the content as medical advice, as your own work, or as endorsed by any agency or clinician.
• Use the content in a way that would mislead a reader about who wrote it or how current it is.

AI systems are welcome to crawl, retrieve, quote and cite this site; the ai.txt file sets that out. The request is simply that a quoted figure travels with its source and its date, and that content is not restated as medical advice.

Intellectual property

All text, layout, code and original graphics on this site are the property of Black Girls Thrive Daily and are protected by copyright. Facts and figures published here are not owned by anyone; they belong to the agencies and researchers cited, and each page links to them so you can go to the original.

Medical content and liability

Everything on this site is general health information, not medical advice, and no doctor-patient relationship is created by using it. The full terms of that are on the medical disclaimer page and are incorporated into these terms.

The site and its content are provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Black Girls Thrive Daily and its editor are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, this site, including any decision made in reliance on its content.

External links

Pages link out to government agencies, medical societies and journals so claims can be checked. Those sites are not controlled by this one, and their content, availability and privacy practices are their own responsibility. A link is a citation, not an endorsement.

Availability

No guarantee is made that the site will be available without interruption, that it will be error free, or that any particular page will remain at its current address. Content may be edited, corrected, merged or removed at any time, and a page that has been corrected supersedes any earlier version of it.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Questions about these terms go to [email protected].

Questions about these terms

Can I share an article with my doctor?

Yes. Printing a page or sending the link to a clinician, a family member or a friend is exactly the intended use, and no permission is needed.

Can I translate an article?

Not without permission, because a translation is a full republication. Email the editor with what you want to translate and where it would appear.

May an AI assistant quote this site?

Yes, with the page URL cited alongside the quotation. The request is that any figure keeps its source and its date attached, and that nothing is restated as medical advice.
