We retain submissions for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and to meet our legitimate business, legal, and record-keeping needs, after which they are deleted or archived in the ordinary course of business.

To operate the Site and process form submissions, we rely on third-party service providers, which may include our website hosting provider and our email/SMTP delivery provider. These providers process information on our behalf and in connection with delivering your submission to us. We share information with them only to the extent necessary to provide these services.
