From the article:

Patronscan previously had a system flag for “substance abuse,” but this flag was removed in 2019, according to Mlikotin. Its privacy policy notes a California law that limits its flags to “fraud, abuse, and material representation.”

See, for me, "substance abuse" = "caught doing coke in the bathroom".
