Narcotics Anonymous Member Privacy and Anonymity

For the protection of NA member privacy and/or anonymity and Narcotics Anonymous as a whole, personally identifying data (including personal email addresses) for individual NA members shall not be published on the Knoxville NA website.

Where publishing identifying data for specific NA members may be required, such data shall be limited to service position titles only.

With that in mind, it shall be the policy of Twin City Area Narcotics Anonymous that no personally identifying data from email correspondence originating on the Knoxville NA website by individual members of the public shall be kept or stored in any way and all such correspondence shall be destroyed upon processing.
