The Cocaine Anonymous Online GB Area (CAOGB) is a service body of Cocaine Anonymous. We support and coordinate online Cocaine Anonymous meetings and services. CAOGB does not provide treatment, counselling, medical advice, or professional services. Our role is to facilitate communication, support unity, and help carry the message of recovery through the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Cocaine Anonymous.
Although administered within the United Kingdom, CAOGB serves members and groups both within the UK and internationally.
CAOGB is a peer-support recovery fellowship providing voluntary mutual-aid meetings. We are committed to protecting the privacy, dignity, and confidentiality of everyone who visits our website or attends our meetings.
Our meetings are designed to allow participation without requiring individuals to register or provide personal information directly to CAOGB.
We do not intentionally collect, store, or maintain personal information except where it is voluntarily provided through website contact forms, email correspondence, service enquiries, or other direct communications.
Where personal information is provided, we will only use it for the purpose for which it was supplied and will handle it in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, CAOGB acts as a data controller only where we determine how limited personal information is collected, used, or stored.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you may have rights regarding any personal information we hold about you, including:
The right to access your personal information.
The right to request correction of inaccurate information.
The right to request deletion of personal information where appropriate.
The right to raise concerns about how your information is handled.
Requests relating to personal information may be made using the contact details provided below.
Many CAOGB meetings use third-party platforms and services to facilitate online participation. These services operate under their own privacy policies and terms of use.
Participants are encouraged to review the privacy statements, security settings, and data handling practices of any third-party platform they choose to use.
CA Online GB Area meetings are peer-support spaces where participants may choose to share personal experiences.
Unless specifically stated otherwise at an individual meeting, meetings are not recorded, transcribed, or stored by CAOGB.
However, information shared during meetings will be heard by other attendees. While confidentiality is encouraged and supported through mutual respect and fellowship principles, CAOGB cannot guarantee the actions of individual participants.
CAOGB encourages all meetings to take reasonable steps to protect participant privacy. Trusted servants and meeting facilitators are encouraged to follow privacy-aware meeting management practices.
