Privacy

The short version

No accounts, no sign-up, no newsletter, no advertising, no comment section, no tracking pixels. There is nothing to log into and nothing to opt out of.

Why this matters more on this site than on most

Some of what people look up here is the worst week of their family’s year. Somebody reading about being hit by their own child, or about a threat assessment at their kid’s school, should not have to wonder who else is watching them read it.

So the honest position is that the less this site knows, the better, and it is built that way rather than promising to behave well with data it collects anyway.

The checklists

The checklists and the repayment planner run entirely in your browser. What you tick or type is never sent anywhere, never stored, and never seen by me. Close the tab and it is gone. That is why none of them have a save button, and it is why none of them ask for an email address before showing you the result.

Server logs

The site is served as plain files by a hosting provider. Like every web server, theirs records requests: an IP address, a timestamp, the page requested and a browser user-agent string. I do not read them, no analytics is connected to them, and they are not used to build a profile of anyone.

Links out

Most pages link to government agencies, professional bodies and published research, and a few link to a book listing. Once you follow a link you are on someone else’s site under their policy, not this one. That includes the crisis services: what each of them does with what you tell them is set by them, and the crisis resources page tells you to ask.

Children

The site is written for parents and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes

If any of this changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves.
