A name, place, or other detail entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's rules govern its handling of the query.
Messages sent to us
When you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the content and contact details needed to answer. We do not disclose those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
