Spam Prevention, Security, and Email Delivery
To keep spam goblins, bots, and other digital hexes from causing trouble, we use security and anti-spam tools. That means some visitor information may be checked or logged for security purposes, including:
- IP address

- submitted form information when needed to filter spam or investigate abuse
When you use the contact form, Google reCAPTCHA may also process device, browser, and interaction data to help determine whether a visitor is a human and not an automated troublemaker.
The site also uses email-delivery tools to send or route site-related email. Those tools may log delivery details and may support email open or link tracking for messages sent through the site’s email systems.

How Long We Keep Information
We keep information for as long as it is reasonably useful for operating the site, responding to messages, sending requested updates, reviewing submissions, protecting the site, understanding traffic, and meeting legal or operational needs.
That means some records, such as analytics data, security logs, mailing-list records, survey submissions, uploaded media, and email logs, may be kept for a period of time unless there is a reason to remove them sooner.
