If users wish to subscribe to our free email newsletter, we ask for contact information (such as name and email address).

Requests for service, support or information may be forwarded as needed to best respond to a specific request. We may retain e-mails and other information sent to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to serve our community better.
