The basics

What happens after I tell Backsie what happened?
It works out what you’re really asking. Then it finds experiences that resemble yours, so you can compare what people did and how it went.
How does Backsie decide what is similar to my situation?
It reads the question you’re asking and the shape of the situation — the context, the decisions, what happened after.
Is Backsie only for dating?
No. Dating is where confusing situations come up most. Friendship, family, work and school work the same way.
What is an Insight Card?
A record of one experience: what happened, the decision, what you did, how it went, what you learned. Keep it private, or share it anonymously.

Privacy & trust

Are these stories from real people?
They come from real people. Every one is anonymous, and only appears if the person chose to share it.
Do I have to share my experience?
No. It can stay private. Share an anonymous version and it can help someone facing the same thing.
Is Backsie telling me what I should do?
No. It shows you how similar situations played out. Someone else’s outcome is not yours, and the decision stays with you.
Is Backsie a clinical or mental-health treatment product?
No. Backsie is not a diagnosis, treatment, crisis or medical product. It is for adults aged 18 and over.
