Our SMTP servers are protected by SSL so your content is encrypted before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices. We only ask you for the minimum amount of personal information purely to be able to identify you when we contact you. For example we ask for your phone number and email as we may contact you via one or both of these methods. We ask for your name as you may give us a phone number that is used by more than one person.
