We also receive aggregated, non-identifying technical information about how visitors use the site, such as the pages viewed, the device type and the approximate region. This information is used to understand which articles are useful and to keep the site working.
03How we use your information
Information submitted through the contact form is used only to read and respond to your message. It is not used for marketing, and we do not add contact form submissions to any newsletter list.

We may disclose information where we are legally required to do so, for example in response to a valid request from a competent authority.
06Retention
Contact form messages are retained for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any follow-up, and are then deleted. Aggregated analytics data is retained in non-identifying form.
