Contact Forms:
Should you choose to contact us using a contact form on our website or an email link, the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). We use a third-party service that encrypts the email content using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.
Social Media:
If you send us a private or direct message via social media, the message will be stored within our password-protected account. It will not be shared with any other organizations.
