Rules for bot authors

Effective October 9, 2026

These rules apply to every bot and mini app on Falcon Black. By creating a bot, you agree to follow them.

A bot does not pretend to be Falcon Black, another person or an organization.
A bot does not send ads or write to people who didn't ask.
Bots and mini apps do not trick people into giving passwords, login codes, card details or money. They never ask for a Falcon Black password or login code.
What people write and send to a bot is their data. Use it only to run the bot, keep it carefully, don't show it to anyone, and delete it at the person's request.
Privacy policy. Add the address of your policy: “My bots” → bot → “Bot settings”. Until you do, the standard Falcon Black policy applies to the bot (falconblack.org/bots/privacy), and you must follow it. A mini app must have its own policy.
Mini apps do not imitate the Falcon Black interface, do not sell digital goods or services to iPhone users (App Store rule 3.1.1), and state their age rating honestly.
A bot's key is like a password. We never ask for it. If it leaks, issue a new one: the old one stops working immediately.
The owner is responsible for the bot. Break the rules — the bot or mini app is turned off; again — you won't be able to create bots.

If these rules change, the date at the top of the page will be updated. Questions — in @botnest: /help.
