Information you give us
None, because there is no mechanism to give any. This site contains no contact form, no email address, no telephone number, no appointment request, no survey and no login. If you have arrived looking for a way to get in touch about a medical matter, there isn't one, and there is not meant to be. Health questions belong with a qualified clinician who can examine you.
Information collected automatically
Like effectively every website, the infrastructure serving these pages processes the technical information that a web request necessarily contains — the address requested, the time of the request, the type of browser and device making it, and network-level information such as the originating network address. This is inherent to how the web works and is used for delivering pages, keeping the site available and understanding aggregate traffic patterns. It is not used to build a profile of you, it is not sold, and it is not shared for marketing purposes.
Cookies
This site does not set advertising or tracking cookies of its own, and it does not run third-party advertising. Any cookie present would be a strictly technical one required to serve the page.
Links to other sites
Pages here link out to external organisations — national health services, government health institutes, medical libraries and professional academies — so that you can read primary material rather than take our summary of it. Those sites have their own privacy policies and their own practices, and we have no control over and no responsibility for either. Following a link takes you outside this site. External links are provided for information; they are not endorsements, and no relationship of any kind exists between this site and the organisations linked.
No health information is processed
Because there is no way to submit anything, this site does not collect, store or process health information about any individual. Reading a page about a condition tells us nothing about you beyond the ordinary technical record of a page having been requested, and that record is not connected to any identity.
Children
This site is a general health reference written for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.
Changes to this notice
If the way this site works ever changes in a way that affects any of the above, this page will be updated to reflect it. Since the site is deliberately static and has no interactive functionality, substantive change is unlikely.
Scope
This notice applies only to this website. It does not apply to any other organisation, including any medical practice with a name similar to this domain name. This site is independent of all of them; see about this reference for the full statement of what this site is and is not.
