Privacy

The short version

What stays on your device

Some tools save your notes so you can come back to them. These are saved only in your own browser, using a feature called local storage. They are never sent to us.

• Support plan and behaviour pattern tracker: saved in this browser until you clear them.
• Journey tracker: saved in this browser until you press “Clear” or clear your browser data.
• Template letters: nothing is saved. Text you add is lost when you leave the page.
• Developmental Concerns and Assessment Guide: nothing is saved. Your answers are cleared when you leave the page.
• Ask FASD AI: uses pre-written answers inside the page. Your questions are not stored or sent anywhere.

If you use a shared or public computer, clear your browser data when you finish.

Hosting

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub says that when a GitHub Pages site is visited, “the visitor’s IP address is logged and stored for security purposes” (GitHub Docs). We do not have access to these logs and do not use them.

Fonts are stored on our own site, so no font requests go to Google or other companies.

Podcast episodes play from Buzzsprout, our podcast host. Audio only loads from Buzzsprout when you press play, and Buzzsprout’s own privacy policy applies.

Links to other websites

We link to other organisations, such as the NHS, NICE, SIGN, National FASD and YouTube. When you follow a link, that website’s own privacy policy applies.
