Current site setup

Addiction Explained is currently a static information website. We do not currently provide user accounts, public comments, online assessments that store answers, or a contact form that stores submissions on the website.

Server and technical data

Hosting and network providers may process normal technical request data needed to deliver and secure a website, such as IP address, browser information and timestamps. Their handling of that data is governed by their own infrastructure and privacy terms.

External links

Some pages link to NHS, NICE and other external websites. Their privacy practices apply once you leave Addiction Explained.

Future changes

If we add analytics, forms, screening tools, accounts or other features that process personal data, this policy will be updated before or alongside those features.
